DIY Save The Dates (help me choose)

nottheonlydreamer44 · September 2010

I know I posted the one I thought I was going to use last week - however I was hit with the wedding bug and decided to make 3 more options. Mike is of no use here so I need my ladies to help me choose. (No these are not our real last names) Just letting you know this is an outside, evening wedding at this venue -- so it's formalish. LOL.

#1

#2

#3

I like 1 or 2. I voted for 1, but I'd like either.

3 just seems a bit confusing design-wise. It doesn't have the same flow.

I like number 1 because I like that picture better than number two. I also think the pictures in 3 are too small. They are all really pretty though.

Hazel_B · September 2010

I like 1 the best. I love the pic you have, but maybe one showing your faces would be good too?

I like 1 or 2. 3 is a little busy

nottheonlydreamer44 · September 2010

Ah, you all are on the same page as me! I liked #1 the best Mike is in love with #3.

I like #2 because it's different but I don't know if the style fits.

Thank you!

I voted 2, but I like 1 almost as much. 3 is just too.... busy. Something seems off there

Edit: I think it's the large "BM" and the strip across the middle of the letters that I don't like

I guess I'm the only one who likes three.

I like it because it's different and I feel like Save-the-dates can be on the more casual side. It's fun.

I also like #2. I don't really like #1, although I can't exactly put my finger on why I don't but...maybe it's because everything is lined up except for the picture and that kinda bugs me! Sorry. My OCD is kicking in.

Edit: I'm not sure why my post is centered. Sorry.

Edit: HAHAHA...nevermind. I fixed it.

Ooo, good job on all of them! I like them all but my fav is #1. I really like #2 but it sets a more casual vibe (IMO)

nottheonlydreamer44 · September 2010

LMAO Heart - that actually bugs me too but I can't fix it! I

Noelle - Completely agree that thing drives me kind of crazy. It took me forever to even find a font that worked. I don't like that the letters are cut off.

I do not want to order from this website - they are so expensive but the only place that has a design that I actually like. I'm trying to upload the picture to vistaprint. LOL.

Beads921 · September 2010

I prefer #2 by far. I find the others too blocky, although they are still nice.

breezerb · September 2010

I like 1 or 3. They are all very pretty (and original!)

I like the picture in 2 but the layout in 1.

As a general rule I do not like pictures of other people kissing. Maybe I'm weird.

dwest2201 · September 2010

I voted for number 2, I like that layout the best. You did an amazing job on them all though, I'm jealous!

nottheonlydreamer44 · September 2010

NQB - you definitely aren't weird for not liking pictures of people kissing. I am not a huge fan either but I love that picture.... they are only going to close family and friends so hopefully they won't gag too much.

Breezer & Dwest - Thank you both -- i seriously was just in creative wedding mode yesterday, I decided to play around. They took for freaking ever -- I'm so picky about fonts and how it looks. I'm tempted to order 1 of each and then decide. Don't be jealous -- they are pretty easy to personalize if you take the time. Just visit vistaprint or magnet street.

I like the black and grey of number 1, but I don't like how on the left you have two boxes.

I also dislike the "It's a romantic affair." I don't know exactly why, but it bugs me.

I think it would make more sense to have "Save the Date" right by your wedding date.

My suggestion to address all these nitpickings is to simply have ONE box on top of the purple background. Orient it portrait instead of landscape. Have it say your names across the top. I like the black print on gray background. Then below the pic have Save the Date, your date, the location, and invitation to follow.

OR

Try to use a simlar layout to 2 with the color scheme and fonts of 1.

Just my $1.50.

I like #1, but I don't like that your first name is under your last name. Do you have photoshop? My friend came up with a bunch of different designs for me in photoshop.

heyimbren · September 2010

I like number 1, but I don't like the one gray block in the bottom left corner. I think I'd like it better if it was a black box like the others.
