Honest opinions needed (PIP)

I need some honest feedback on the save the dates that I just made.  I had to do it myself since my brother who's a graphic designer was going to design them and he's in JAIL for 30 days because his dumb ass didn't pay child support.  Nevertheless, I saw this design on minted.com and they wanted over $300 for 125 save the dates, so I said eff it, I'll do it myself.

So honestly, if you got this save the date in the mail and saw all of the wording, would you think it was too "busy"?  Most of the wording is just like the original version on minted.com, but I added the information about visiting our website and the web address.  Do you think it's too much?  Should I change anything at all?  Opinions are greatly needed!

    I like them....just watch that white wording you don't want it to blend in with the picture....Just asking how much was minted.com having you pay for the? you can use vistaprint and just pay the shipping cost and  most of the time is no more than 5 bucks Laughing

    Thanks for your feedback.  I tried the wording in black, but I didn't like how it looked at all.  What other color should I use?

    @purplehoney: girl feel free to steal it.  I stole it from somewhere else!

    Love them. But I agree on the white words. But I don't have a suggestion on a color to use. Maybe just change the color on the website address. I think it was kinna the hardest to see.

    And I ditto using VP. I got 50 magnets from them for less than $30! If you need a coupon, let me know.

    Ok, how about this?





    When I tried to put the web address in pink you could hardly see it at all since it was against my red dress.  Do you think it looks stupid with just a couple of things in pink?

    Also, do you think that I should take out the part about visiting our website and just simply put the web address to make it a little less busy?  Do you think that some people who've never visited a wedding website would have any idea what it's for?  Or should I leave it?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, it really helped.  FI and I both agree that it looks better with the white.

    @msapril...that dress was on sale for only $30, plus free shipping online.  Can't beat it with a stick!
