How big is that card? I like to put STDs on my refrigerator (my stainless one can have magnets) but if it’s too big (like 5×7 or larger) I won’t put it up and then I will tend to forget about it. I personally prefer the magnetic ones but I know they’re more expensive.
You don’t need a photo but I think they’re nice. I would not put a photo on the actual invitation. We included a photo in our thank you cards.

sunnierdaysahead2 : I’m looking at a 4 x 6 card..I want to print this up on cotton or linen paper ( maybe tear the edges?) I like to put mine up too which is why I don’t want it to be too big

- Wedding: March 2020 - City, State
This is lovely!
My only critiques:
-date is off center (scoot it to the left)
-“save our date” is also off center, just less so
-“FORMAL INVITATION TO FOLLOW” looks like shouting to me. I would try it in a script font (similar to your names but less bold) or in a font with small caps rather than all caps as shown.
-come to think of it, all the fonts you’ve picked are lovely, but I’m not sure they mix well from a design perspective. You can leave it as is and probably no one will care, but if you’re interested in learning more about combining fonts, here are some good resources:

Can I have some feedback on this as well? Wording? Layout?
I’m not worried about centering I will finetune that once I make a decision on what designs I want

wildflowerbride2020 : Thank you! I appreciate this..I should have recentered before uploading it but I got too excited lol. I love the two fonts I picked so i’m reluctant to change them but I will look into combining fonts

- Wedding: May 2019 - York, ME
introester : I think there should be a bigger space between “June 30 2019” and “We have ___ seats….”. They are too close together and it’s not balanced. I would also suggest removing the second kindly for the declines with regret option. It should also ready “Number of guest
s attending”.
They are beautiful and I love your font choice!! I’m sure narrowing down your options was tough, but you’ve done a great job!

introester : You don’t need the second kindly before declines. What is the difference between the number of seats reserved and number of guests attending? Also what co_katherine said.

co_katherine : are you saying number of guest_ so they can add the s themselves?

introester : Also! I don’t think you need the “th” after 30. Just a comma.
