    I was playing around last night first time using Publisher. I want to make my own STD magnents 10 times cheaper. I did this it took about 15 min What do you think? What would you add to it or change? I think I may add a picture.  Dont hold back this is very very rough!

    Lets hope the link works!

    The website address is really hard to read, I would tweak that if I were you. Other then that, very cute!

    Definitely clear up the website. I even had mine clear and large, and people still didn't realize we had one. ;)

    Personally I like pictures of the couple on the STDs, but I'm not sure where you'd fit it here, so I think it's fine to leave it off. Cute design!

    Wow, I'm way impressed!  What about adding the city you are getting married for out-of-town guests?  Just another thought.

    Oh also there is extra room on the edges becase they say it gets cut.

    They look great! I would unbold the website or make it a thinner font thinner.

    I think the newer one looks great...my only suggestion would be to try and get better resolution on the script font...it appears a little pixelated

    You have done so well already!! I really like what you have going, I have some minor tweaks that will push this a little to make it even better.

    The thin times new roman font on the website & formal invite to follow line looks very boring when compared to the pretty lines you have going on the other fonts.

    -Uncaps the "Formal invitation to follow." line and italicize it.

    -I would also do this to your website, bold it as well and take off the word "website" put a www. in front of it and they will know what it is.

    -Make the red line a little wider because the black will swallow the red when you print it and you will hardly be able to see it.

    -I would also bring your flourishes all the way to the edge of the card and it will look a lot more professional.

     

    I made a mock up because I'm a visual person and thought I'd show you what I was talking about. I took a screen shot of your file off the web so it's a little blurry/low res.

    It looks great but she mentioned that there's extra space because that will get cut off when printed.

    I think the website should not be italicized. Other than that I love it!

    Looks fantastic!  How about make the website address red so it stands out too?  Although I do like just having the "the" red...... Nice job!

    The reason I said to italicize the website is because with it being a times new roman font it looked very "default" when left regular instead of italic. And I understand that the border will be cut off but you still want to bring it to the edge because it will be super hard to cut to an exact spot and if you have the flourishes go a little past where you're cutting then it will be less stressful when you're cutting it. :) Just thinkin' ahead.

    I like LLauRRa's mockup with the wider red border and the format of the URL. 

    I also just want to double-check: is your fiance's name J-E-F-F-E-R-Y, or is it J-E-F-F-R-E-Y? :-)

    I actually think the website looks better next to the swirls. Just don't bold the text so it is easier to read! To me, it looks less DIY that way! I think I may be the odd gal out here... lol

    Also, the FORMAL INVITE TO FOLLOW, is that the same text as your wedding date? If it isn't, I'd definitely make the font the same. It looks a little out of place... maybe its the CAPS?

    So there's my 2 cents. I really do love your STD's. With a few changes they'll be absolutely perfect :) Good job!

    LLaurra: I like yours a lot.  Thats why I posted it I needed other people's eyes.

    Klingonbride: His name is Jeffery I know weird! 

    Would you add a picture instead of the swirls?
