    What do you think of these Save The Dates? (can't bring myself to just put the initials LOL) Our theme is "Picture Perfect" and I thought a silhouette of us would be nice instead of an actual picture. Don't want to go into overdrive with the pics! :) For some reason my FI could not agree on ANYTHING about them. But here is the final. LOL

    I think that's cool. I have never seen one like that.

    I like it. It is simple but pretty.

    For those that say NO. Do you mind saying what you don't like about it?

    I'm not a huge fan of the silhouette b/c I can't really tell where he ends and you begin.  Also, I think you should stick to one color of font and edging.

    EDIT:  Actually the color isn't the issue.  I think it's the different style fonts are used.

    Here's how I think it would look better:

    Maybe add some lines to your body shape, around your jaw and hair.  Change the fonts to one style.

    @beekiss2: I said the same thing to my FI about the fonts. I wanted them all the same and if ANY would be different it would be our names and that's it...*sigh*

    The silhouette idea came from the sample save the date on weddingchicks. I'm really in love with it! LOL!! Tongue out

    @Donnica22:  Also, you may want to put a comma after 27 in the date.

    The silhouette and the fonts are throwing me off.  I agree with the PP who stated you can't really see where he ends and you begin, it seems a bit awkward.  I do love the color.

    Gave it a YES!

    Love the silhouettes but not the switching fonts.

    I LOVE the effect, but I wish I could see YOU in it better. Is there any way to make you stand out more like your FI stands out? Cool idea though!

    @beekiss2: I sooooooooo told him that it needs a comma! WHEW! Glad someone else caught that!!!!

    Thank you ladies for all of your feedback. We will have our official engagement pics back this week and will probably use one of those!
