    What do you guys think of my STD's?

    Any advice? Anything I should add?

    I'll be using vista print to get free post cards & hand write all of the addresses

    I could only put up the word docs-it's not letting me convert to pdf on this computer for some reason. The font should be Brock font

    Ok, hopefully it works this time.

    I know I need to fix the monogram on the back-it got cut off. I'll have to do that & see if I can fix it. Other than that...good?

    If I go any bigger, it gets cut off.  Do you want to post what the text says?

    The words...

    on the front:

    on the bottom right hand corner it says: Please visit our wedding website at www.jpwedding814.weebly.com for more information

     

    on the back:

    on the top left hand corner: Joshua and Paula were engaged on Valentine’s Day 2009 at the Hilton gazebo, shown on front. They were celebrating their five year dating anniversary. They will be tying the knot on Saturday, August 14, 2010.

    Bottom in the "for post office use only" area: For your use only:

    The guest password for theknot and Wedding Channel is ****

    I love the gazebo and the photo of you both is perfect - I like that you can see your ring!  But I think the background is so busy with the checkerboard of flowers.  Could you do a solid background and overlap one flower image over the gazebo image the same way you did with your photo?  So that it would be three collaged images on a solid background?

    And I love the story of the engagement on the back!

    you don't say where you are getting married on the STD.  might be a good idea to include a city if you plan on having out-of-town guests attend.

    I personally think you should shorten the information. When I see a STD: I just want to see the important stuff.

    Bride and Groom

    Save the Date

    Date

    Wedding Place

    wedding website (password/and etc)

    invitation to follow..(probably add this...)

    I think you could combine the v-day sentence with the 5 year sentence. I don't think you need the last sentence (cuz it's posted two other times..). Or edit it out and just put in on your website...

    I also think the background is too busy (but that is mentioned)

    I did add invitations to follow-it's the dividing line on the back-it says Formal Invitations to Follow vertically.

    Ok-so I redid the front-what do you think? is the daisy too random there? I kind of think it is, but what do you guys think?

    ETA: never mind. I can't upload at school. I'll need to wait until I'm home.

    Where is the daisy?

    I really like the front now and I prefer the back with your names not initials!

    Great Job - I really like it!

    It got cut off, but it's in the top left corner. everytime I try to resize it, it doesn't do it-just shows up that big.

    Why don't you try this daisy on the front so that it doesn't look chopped off?

    This is just my suggestion.... No daisy to me it just looks out of place... and I think the yellow should be toned down a bit to a softer color.

    Is yellow and pink your wedding colors?

    Perhaps you could use the daisy on the back faded out underneath your Monogram... i dunno if your program can do that or not but

    yeah- light yellow & hot pink are the colors.

    I wasn't sure about the daisy either.

    I think that a softer yellow for the background would look best sort of just a wash of color and if daisy is your flower try incorporating it on the back :) I definately think you are on the right track though... I love that you included the gazebo pic and a pic of the two of you

    I think that's the lightest yellow I saw on word, but I'll look again. I'll see about putting the daisy on the back!

    Thanks!

    I'll have to show FI just to see if he cares (which he won't) but my mom says she likes the first back better b/c you can see the daisy.

    It might appear differently on the screen.  They both look good, so I don't think there is a wrong choice.

    I'm  so happy it looks better! FI thinks it looks better than what I had before. He said it looked tacky lol. I didn't have both backs with me- &what I did have was only B&W. I'll have to show him when he gets back in the room.
