My DIY Save the Date : wedding std SavetheDate Side1 B I created my own save the date in Photoshop/InDesign and would like to get some opinions. Is it too busy? It's going to be a postcard (yay for free Vistaprint postcards!) with our wedding website on the back side and put in an envelope.

Thanks in advance!

I couldn't see a picture- what is helpful is going in and hitting "edit" and then clicking the tree icon to put in photos- it resizes it a lot easier/simpler.

Also: I used www.mypostcardprinter.com for my post-card Save the Dates and was very happy with the quality and turn around time. :)

I can see the picture. I like it, but I had a hard time reading the text on your timeline. The idea is super cute, but will it be readable on a postcard? Maybe try to simplify the timeline events so that you can use a larger font?

I kind of agree with Mighty... cute idea, but I'd say make the font more readable for the small boxes of text along the timeline! A modern block font or very neat handwriting (not script) font would fit in with your look!

I like it... Cute idea and great colors :) Will the font be readable post-card sized? It probably will be. And hooray for VP, my save the dates will be from them too!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to try using a different font for the timeline.

Yeah that is super cute!! Love the idea & layout. I agree that maybe font in timeline should be bigger or different, even taking out some words to accomodate that so it's more readable. Awesome job!

I really like the idea, but as the other bees have said it's a bit busy/hard to read. So an edit of the font type or size would be helpful.

Lovely idea!!

Wow! That is very cute and very creative. I love the time line and how you two are holding the save the date signs. Absolutely love it! Good job.

It's really cute but also really busy. Cold you do just the pics and save the timline for the website?? I really like the ideas, but I think together they're too much. What a talented lady, nice work!
