I love the way the photos frame the edge! It looks so much fun that way! And I love how they're all cute and different!
I love the design, but I have been staring at the words and for the life of me I can't even make out what it says. (Obviously "so and so are getting married, save the date" -- but the words seem to be arranged in a completely random order, angle, and color. I don't know if older guests, or people not used to receiving save-the-dates, will be able to decode this.)
STDs also usually contain the location of the wedding (just the city is fine) and words to the effecct of "formal invitation to follow".
I like the concept...but the order of the words are way too busy for me. If I didn't know what a STD was, I would think that your printer somehow messed up the order of the words.
Cute photos, but like PP said, I too stared at the picture for several seconds trying to figure out how the words should be read.
I definitely had to step back from the screen a bit to take everything in. Maybe it's partially due to the parts you had to block out, but I'm having a hard time following what you've written.
However, it's still obvious that it's a save the date, but maybe people who don't spend their lives on wedding blogs might not get it.
I also think it is a great concept; however, I too am having difficutly reading what it actually says. I thought it might because I have a stigmatism, but previous posters have also stated they are having trouble. Maybe make the nonessential words smaller and a different color than the essential words.
Also, isn't postcard-size a bit big for a fridge magnet? The magnet STDs I've seen are sized somewhere between a business card and postcard. Large enough to read the essentials, but small enough to have room left on the fridge, haha.
Did you re-design them so that they are readable and contain the appropriate information?
I took a look at this and was thinking that older people invited to your wedding may have a hard time following the wording .... well I had trouble too! Did you decide to keep them or redesign the words? I love the overall design.
I don't get the order, like other posters. Cute concept and design, but the words themselves are hard to figure out. It gave me a bit of a headache...
I love the wordles and think the design is so cute with the wordles and the photos, but that the frame around the outside is a bit too busy imho.
You can also design a wordle where it's got the words instead of going in all different directions, be in the same direction too. I think it'd look great as a postcard without the frame around it.
I think all the words in the same phrase like "save the date" should be the same color that way it will stand out more and be easier to read.
hmm...Is there an actual pattern to reading the Save the Date or is it intended to be a conglameration of words and it is expected you know its a save the date because somewhere in there it has all the necessary words? Interesting concept either way but NMS.
I think it's called a "wordle" and you can generate them at a site. It's really cute! I have seen on some blogsites, wordles created for buffet tables and dessert tables too!
I think the wording is way too busy
I completely agree with Bellenga. If the words were still scrambled, but going in the same direction it would be much easier to follow. And the frame seems a little disconnected to me (maybe it's just because it's a formal frame and very modern content?). I also like the idea of doing certain words in the same color. For example: blue for your names, purple for save the date and the date, black for the rest.
SO CUTE! but the order of the words are difficult to read. Seems like a word jumble. But i lovee what you have so far.

I need your honest opinions. What do you think of my save the dates? It will be printed out on postcard and turned into budget friendly refrigerator magnets.
