    So I've attached my final (I hope) draft of my Save the Date Postcards.  I spent hours analyzing the font and the sizing.  I think I've lost my mind.  I see why people pay $15 to have someone else do it on Etsy but I wanted to try myself.  Let me know if they look good or if anything needs to be changed.  I've never done these before.  Have I included all of the right information?

    Note: I had to convert to jpg to get them to load here but the quality will be a little better.

    Just updated it.  Didn't realize that the files were denied because they were MS Office 2007.

    Thanks!  Are you supposed to add in lines for the address?  Do people usually hand-write address or do labels on postcards?

    These are really cute!  I don't think you need to add lines for the addresses (regular postcards don't often have them).  As for labels or handwriting, I like to handwrite because it looks more personal.

    I think they look wonderful. You are probably spending way too much time analyzing them. I suggest setting them aside for a day and then going back to look at them. I am an over analyzer and that helps me sometimes. On a side not, your fiance looks very similar to my baby sister's husband; they could be brothers.

    Very nice!!  I made postacrds too and they came with lines on them for the address!.  I think I would hand write the addresses just to give it a personal touch!

    Super cute! You can either do labels or handwrite them, just make sure it's noticable where it's meant to go :)

    I think they look great! Either labels or handwritten would be fine, I think.  Just be careful the label doesn't come off in the mail since it's a postcard. Or you could just print the address directly on the postcard?

    Really cute! I hand addressed mine - all 95 of them!!! I am most likely going to do labels for our invitations. I think you can afford it and want to save your wrist from hurting for 10 mins then do them!

    Cute!! I addressed all of mine-I did about 85 of them. It wasn't too bad. You could do either, and it would be fine.

    OK so handwritten seems to be the consensus.  Thank you everyone!

    I really like them!  My fiance hand-adressed all 70 of ours.  (He has impeccable handwriting.)  But we did labels with our label-maker for the return addresses.

    Thanks everyone!  I used Microsoft Word actually.  To get the postcards compatible with the websites I had to convert the Word documents into pdf.  Vistaprint had a Word template to show you exactly what size it needed to be so I just used that.

    I got them from overnightprints.com.  They are pretty great actually.  I blew it and didn't add in lines for addresses.  Lesson learned.
