It''s been awhile... Let me know what you ladies think... DIY!

Our Announcement/Save The Dates

It might be personal preference, but I wouldn''t put gift/honeymoon registry info on a save the date. I especially wouldn''t put the hours you could call. I don''t know how to say this in the right way, but I would make them look a little less like a travel agency ad.

I love LOVE the left side of the card. I think it would be better to have your picture be the only picture on there....

Thank you for your opinion Lanie!

About putting the registry info on them... We did want to let them know without putting them on another card only b/c (and I''m very guilty of this lol!) people will throw away extra stuff! BTW they will be magnets!

As for the extent of registry info, I agree totally! My mom made the suggestion an well, I had to entertain the idea which is why I came to get opinions... I will be cutting it short!

Hmmm...I was actually always taught that its very poor taste to include registry information anywhere in a STD or wedding invitation.

I love the look of the STDs, but would leave off the registry stuff entirely.

I think the design looks great.

I would also never include registry info on anything. If people want to know where you''re registered they''ll ask.

I like what you've done so far. Can I offer a couple of suggestions though??? If you'd rather not read, just skip over this post!

I'd make the whole magnet one color and one font (maybe just one other font to make your names stand out, and I do think the border looks nice), scratch the registry info and picture of the water.
Center the picture with you and your FI, and keep all the "he proposed..." wording.
Underneath the picture, keep the "invitation to follow" and link to your wedding website. The website is where you should put the registry/venue info. And since the website link is on the magnet, people will still be able to find it if they want to.
I think doing those things would really clean up the look of your STD and make it a bit more uniform and pleasing to the eye.

ETA: If you don't have a wedding website set up, there are plenty of sites that allow you to do them for free. www.theknot.com is just one of them.

Ditto all of this - looks like a fun wedding! Great pic of you two!

This is what I have seen, and what I would suggest. If people want to find your registry, as well as any other wedding info they need, it''s right there. very helpful.

I agree... they are very cute but please don''t put the registry info.

Cute picture

I'm with everyone on this one regarding the registry information - it's never appropriate to include this anywhere on a STD or invitation. FWIW, I agree with Lucky's suggestions for streamlining your STD's.

I also think this is a great idea.

You have a really solid base though, love the colours!

 

[bee*]

I agree with luckystar too. And also with the other girls-I wouldn''t put registry info on there.

 

[lala2332]

I like Lucky''s suggestions. Right now it kind of looks like two different save the dates. Centering it all and picking one color will make it much more cohesive.

Love you color choices!

Ok, I may be in the complete minority here, but I''m not sold on the kissing picture. I think if kissing isn''t something that is the focus of the picture, then it can work, but the up close vue just seems very personal. Just my .02
