I spent some time last night creating our STD's.  Honest opinions, what do you think?  We're doing post card STD's, and this would the front side.  Back side would say "Formal Invitation to Follow" and list our website.[img]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b214/jtothelee216/attempt2.jpg?t=1258388157[/img]

    Love it! Especially the Save the date font. But for some reason most of my attention was focused to the calender thingy, maybe because I have never seen it done like that. Can you lower the images and writing on the lower half so there is less space at the bottom of the STD and make the "save the date" larger so that's more of the focus?

    I love them! I think the size of the #s are fine but maybe center it so there is the same amount of black on the top and the bottom.

    I love the urban sketchy font. I am not a huge fan of the MTWThFS... bit. I love the font for the numbers, just not the layout.I think it normally looks best with the whole month. Just for a week, and the way it is placed seems a bit off to me. JMO, though. I love the tri-picture action going on.

    Honestly - I was confused by the week part in the middle.  (and its off center) Once I thought about it, I get that you're showing it is Saturday the 5th but it took me a bit.

    I love it!and I personally love the way you did the date!  It's unique.....but I like to be a little different and not so formal I guess.  So, if that's what you are going for as well...I say it's great!

    I love it! Small notes:1 - Center the calendar so all 3 items on the bottom line is evenly spaced2- I'd grey out 1, 2, 3, and 4 as wellI really like the 3-photo layout and the ones you chose, very cute :)

    I have to disagree with Salwa on making the rest of the numbers gray.....the 30 and 31 being gray is like a normal calendar and by you circling the 5th makes it obvious enough that it's your wedding date.

    I absolutely LOVE IT!  I agree you could make the items on the top larger to fill up that top space.  I really like the week with the date circled because it's different. BUT I could see that some people might not understand that it means June 5th.  3 people called me to ask me what date our wedding was after getting our STD because they didn't see it on the STD (check my bio - it's very obvious to me, but to others it's not i guess).  So I guess if I could go back I would make our date very clear like June 12, 2010.

    Good point. I should probably spell it all out on the backside of the postcard to avoid any confusion. Thanks.
