DYI STD ettiquette

I just made a photo "collage" using picasa to create our STD.  They look like a card from like snapfish- or one of those sites.  My question is, is it okay to send STDs that are printed on picture paper or should I glue the pictures to cardstock, the inside of a card, a magnate  or something else?  I'd like to just be able to send them as is, is this okay?

    I would judge.  Also, there will probably be words printed on the back.

    No words on the back, I designed the STD to include "Please save the date for the wedding of" our names, the date and location.  They are very pretty, they have a picture of us and it incorporates some of our theme.  No need for wording on the back.

    I mean, there will probably be the company name splattered across it.  Like when you get film developed and it says Kodak all over it.

    This.  They splatter stuff like that all over the back of a picture.  I think you should put it on cardstock.

    Eh, every time I see STD I still think "sexually transmitted diseases".  It all sounds dirty!

    I would get it on cardstock if you can fit it in your budget.

    I don't think you need to put it on card stock if the back is blank. I honestly wouldn't care if the back said Kodak either because it's obviously a picture.

    Why not upload it to VistaPrint (or similar) and then make your photo collage the front of a postcard? That way you can send it "as is" and just put people's address and a stamp on the back.
