    So this is the second round of edits for our Save The Dates. For reference, we are having a backyard wedding on the low to mid formality level.

    This will be the front of the postcard (Can't edit the letters on the photo - already taken):

    The back will have all the info. In my previous post, commenters helped me to trim down info and also noted that my fonts were kind boring so I went a bit crazy on dafont.com - tell me what you like!

    Option 1: Lucinda

    Option 2: Elephant and Freestyle Script

    Option 3: Mail Ray Stuff and Nocker

    Option 4: Roundabout and Freestyle Script

    Option 5: TrashButterfly and Freestyle

    Option 6: TrashButterflies and Nocker

    Also, pleas let me know if you haev any suggestions about working or spacing or anythig else!!!

    Thanks bees!

    Sorry - It won't let me space things properly - Sorry!

    1 or 5. Something about the others is too busy?

    My absolute favorite would be #3 if you did your names in a different font, because i think that font is a little hard to read.  What I like about 3# is how Mark Your Calendars and date stand out more than in any of the other ones and that is the point you need to convey!  Also, I love the font you used for Mark Your Calendars and the date - it is easy to read, but it also has a playfulness that goes with the theme of the cute Scrabble board on front and that it is a casual backyard wedding.

    @sealevels:  Crazy! I thought 5 would look the most busy! But that's why I need other bee's opinions.

    @JenGirl:  Haha, I also have weird taste! #1 is very simple, if you like that. :) Do you need to have two different fonts?

    I voted for #2 (: I think the fonts go best together on that one.

    They are all good but I like #3. I don't care for the font for the actual names David and Jen on #3 but other than that I really like the rest of the fonts. #2 would be my second choice!

    @WestCoast:  & @SavBride:  & @ShiftedLobster:  It sounds like you guys like 3 but there are some concerns that the names are hard to read: What about these options for the names?

    Curlz MT:

    Freestyle Script:

    Monotype Corsiva:

    @sugarpea:  & @Caroheart:  Yeah! #2 was my favorite from the first round that I created all from Word. Glad you like it! I secretly like it because the first text is called "elephant" and elephants are one of my favorite animals!

    Freestyle or Monotype both look great to me!

    I think I'm leaning toward Freestyle in the last grouping! I like that it's a little bit fun but still easy to read.

    I like the second one! It's both unique and elegant!

    Love the monotype and freestyle changes! Either one looks great. This may complicate things so if you're set with the changes then disregard this, but the only other font suggestion for the names I have is called "reporter-two" or any of the "lucinda" fonts.

    @ShiftedLobster:  Where did you find reporter 2? It doesn't look like I have it on my word options. And my fiance likes Lucinda. It's actually the very frist option in the original post!
