    It's not done yet, full and last names will be added. And the more plain font will be slightly more fancy.

    My gripe is that it's completely symmetrical.

    What can we do to make it better? My designers are trying to accommodate, but I can't figure out what I don't like about it.

     

    Sorry it's so small!

    It is cute!

    Do you need to add your wedding website?

    I am a fan of asymmetry as well so I can see how that would be bothering you but I think they would have to change the main design if you wanted to make it asymmetrical!

    I love it! I think it's very classy and different - I'm kinda tired of getting magnets with pics on them. I'm a stickler for symmetry, so I like that about it.

    I feel like it's missing something. Changing the border some might be a good idea?

    I'd only give this advice because you say you don't like it. I think it's fine, but like you mentioned, it's kind of generic.

    First, I'd move the date from the top to below the save the date. It will be more striking without that small amount of text above.

    Second, you can make your names stretch across the whole page by spacing out between the letters (kerning or tracking). Or - if you decide to move something to a side to skew the symmetry, I'd consider putting your names the biggest where Save the Date is now, then putting Save the date for the wedding... in the corner below.

    I'd want to play around with any of these ideas before I'd commit to them, but I hope this helps!

    Post a second draft if you can!

    But, Mary Alice, when you say put "for the wedding of" in the corner below, where exactly do you mean? Inside of the black box?

    I mean, put all the text in the corner.

     

                        -- Save the Date --

     

     

                                                      for the wedding of

                                                               your names

                                                                  date, city
     

    I'm not sure that would work, but I'd want to see it and give it a try. In my taste, I like a little right alignment. My favorite idea (in my head) is to stretch your names across the whole page. I like that too.

    I'm sure whatever you do will get the attention of your guests!

    I think they're great. I'm the worst DIYer so I'm always blown away by what you ladies come up with.

    The only input I have is if you have a hotel I'd add that info "a block of rooms has been reserved at _____ please mention the Smith & Jones wedding" or whatever. Sometimes people like to know ahead of time so they can reserve their room(s).
