    Hi Bees-

    So I'm trying to decide what style STD I want to use. I really like the idea of postcards- partially because postage is cheaper, but also because I love getting postcards in the mail!

    For those of you who have done postcards, what did you put on the back on the card? obviously half for the postage/address, but what about on the other side?

    On the lefthand side of our STDs we showed a calendar of June and circled our date.  Below the calendar we gave our names, and other general wedding info.

    This is what the back of our STD postcards looked like:

    The front had one of our engagement pics on it.

    We left ours blank, except for our date 3.17.12 across the top. I ordered through vistaprint for free and you had to pay extra to add stuff on the back, haha. I dont know, I guess I usually imagine postcards to have the picture on the front, and unless you write a long letter on the back, they're normally blank besides the address.

    I had an image on the front with "save the date" a pic of me and FI and the number 6.23.2012 on the front...on the back I had all of our info: A & A are getting married at abc location in xyz city

    I included something like "kindly save the date for the marriage of..." and I aldo had our wedding website.

    I really hadn't thought too much about postcards as STD above and beyond any other option.  But then, the USPS gave me the clear sign that I need postcards as my STDs.  That said, I have no idea what I'll say on the left half. Smile

    Here's mine...  I greyed out all the areas that the Post  Office needed while I was designing them then took out the grey areas before sending them to the printer.

    @deathbydesign I know you blurred out the wedding website but it is still pretty easy to figure out and I would make it more blurry or do black over it
