    So it's 1:25am and I just finished trial #1 for my thank you post cards. I'm not a huge fan, but to be honest I'm outrageously tired and I don't even know what I should change. Should I move the photos and have kissy in the middle? Should I do completely different photos??

    Any help would be very much appreciated! If you look at my previous posts I posted the link to my wedding photos. If there are photos you think would look better just send me the image # and I'll try them out :)

    Thanks bees!!!

    I tried to look at what you have, so far, and the link is not bringing anything up.

    My suggestion is to just go to bed and take a look at it when you get up. You will be less tired and less stressed.

    I think they look great, but I would put the pictures in 2, 3, 1 order.

    I really like it. The only think I would suggest the photo on the left needs to be a  close up because all the others a close up, make sense?  and all the font in the Thank You match up. Love the design thats fantastic! layout, top notch too!

    Thanks for the input! I got the layout from zazzle. All I had to do was upload my photos and information. I agree that the left pic should be closer. It looks a little out of place since we're so far away. I like that order, too @noritake. Thanks :)

    I'm feeling a lot better about it and I really want to finish it up now, but I know I should go to sleep.

    Are you mailing these out as postcards? Or are you including something else with them? I ask because I don't see a place for addresses.

    For the top one, I'd switch the two end photos. On the right, the way the pic is, it looks cut close to the edge. The one on the left, there's spacing between his arm & the edge. that make sense?

    i am concerned about not having enough room or a space to write your personal messages - is this a card? postcard?

    It's called a postcard on the site, but I'm not sending them as postcards. I'm just putting them in envelopes.

    @serabell- that makes perfect sense. I'll switch them. Thanks :)

    For the first trial if you put the 1st in the middle would that work for you, that way there's some pattern going? So it would be 2,1,3.

    For the second trial photos, I would try the order of 3,1,2. That way the angles point towards the middle pic. If that doesn't work I would just play around with different photos maybe.

    The design looks awesome!!! Great job so far!!!

    @melissabegins- When I fell asleep in the room on the wedding night my husband was bored and opened all of the gifts :( He didn't keep cards with gifts. We figured out who gave us a few of the gifts, but I'm sending these to the people that we couldn't figure out. Does that make sense?

    I feel awful about it, but I have no idea what to write on a card to them so this is my way of avoiding that...

    @ bella - oh no! I guess your hubby hasn't read all of the stuff about gifts on WB like we have huh? :) I think this is a fine solution, and maybe with a little detective work you could figure out some of the ? gifts.

    Yeah, I was so angry, but he didn't know any better. I guess guys don't think about things like thank you cards. We did some detective work and figured out close to half, but the rest we honestly have NO idea :(

    aww bella, he musta been really excited. thanks for saying that, cause i'll be sure to let my FI know not to do that. did you get gift receipts with the gifts? that may help a little figureing some things out? you have a great idea with the postcard! If I were a guest, I'd never guess you didn't know what I got you by that postcard. :)

    Thanks serabell :) and YES, please tell your FI so you don't end up with a mess like mine :) The majority of the receipts were laying in the bottom of empty bags that I had no idea what gift came out of.. haha luckily we didn't need to return anything.

    I asked about the gift reciepts cause if you could match up the city of where they came from, that may help narrow it down some more. But you'd have to know the gift that went with it. I'm not sure if the gift receipt tells you where they came from, cause normal reciepts have the city & if you have out of town guests, that may help? Hmm... well, at least you got to make a cool postcard :)
