    Hey Ladies,

    I've been working on a DIY Save the Date for a while now.  I've come up with a final draft, but want to know if you have any suggestions to improve it.  Do you think it looks too cluttered?  Can you suggest a better background/font color?  Do any of the pictures clash?  Any honest opinions will be HUGELY appreciated!!

    Thanks!!!

    Ooh, I love it! I like the background color, but maybe you could try a pale green or blue for the font instead of the gold.

    Really great!  Where are you getting married?  We set our date for Claxton Farm in Weaverville in August! We are so excited about being up there for our wedding!!

    Thanks, everyone!  I'll definitely play around with the font color.  I think lime green is a great idea!

    We're going to be getting married at MountainTop Community...it's sort of in the middle of nowhere.  I looked at Claxton Farm too, and loved it!  It was just a little too far from where I ideally wanted to host it.  It's beautiful though, congrats!!

    Love it! I second the suggestion for using the lime green of the last '1' in the date for the wording. It would help pull everything together.

    Here's my final draft.  I decided ALL of the little pictures looked a little too cluttered, so I removed 2 of them, and changed the font to a pale green, thanks to your suggestions!

     

    Thanks again for your help!!

    Thanks, Jenny!! :)

    I made it in a program called PhotoScape.  I'm not exactly talented in PhotoShop, and this program was free.  It took some work to figure out how to use it, but it really wasn't too hard!

    I think it looks great now that you've removed a couple of the photos! It looks a lot cleaner! Very nice.

    Oh my gosh, how adorable! I'm in awe, you did such a great job staging the shoot. I can't believe you came up with something so creative in your own backyard. Huge pat on the back, those look fantastic! and p.s. love the font choices

    Super cute. I like what you've done since the last update. Is it going to be more expensive to get postage on that for that size?
