I just finished the design for our save the dates today. What do you guys think? Is there anything you recommend having or not having on your STDs?[img]http://tinyurl.com/m3amew[/img]I also came up with an idea for our invitations. Thoughts?[img]http://tinyurl.com/mffex5[/img]

    Very pretty!  I just have nitpicky suggestions:  On the invite, I wouldn't put a comma after May, there is no hypen between two and thousand (I think I see one there), and I really wouldn't use the contraction "You're." Everything else about the invite is so pretty and formal, I don't think that really fits.To me, the STD's have a lot going on font-wise.  I would suggest picking a font or two and sticking with those to make it more in line with your invitation.  It's pretty though.  Oooh, and I love Marty Leonard Chapel! :)

    Thanks stephie! There are actually only 2 fonts on the STDs, but I agree it does look like more! I don't think they look too busy when they are printed. Thanks for the corrections on the invites too!

    Is it common to put the address of the venue on the invitation? Or should I save that for a different card?

    I had the same question and the lady that did my invites suggested we put it on there, so I did.  You might as well if you have the room I guess.

    I love the fonts you chose! From the invitation samples I've received, it seems that putting an address is fairly common, although the zip code is usually omitted for some reason.

    I think the save the date is awesome...and I like your invite...but I don't think the "You're Invited" goes at all.  Your STD is so formal looking.  I would put something else on top of your invite besides the "You're Invited" maybe a scroll of some sort or your monogram.

    Thanks for all your input! I'm not really loving the "You're Invited" either but I want to use the shape at the top because its the same shape I used on the STDs. I'm thinking of using a monogram instead. What do you guys think of this? [img]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/l74mxh" rel='nofollow'>http://tinyurl.com/l74mxh</a>[/img]

    Looks beautiful! IMO, I'd like to see your names a little bit smaller, but they really are gorgeous!
