Non-Traditional Save the Date

PhillyBride123 · October 2010

I was thinking about having a non-traditional save the date. This is my first attempt at a DIY. I did it on VistaPrint, I could also add a picture of us on the "backside". What do you Ladies think? Fun?

I like the idea and concept. And I agree with the pic in the blank space because it's a little bland, as is. IMHO

Thank you for your honesty...so you think I should add some background color or designs or something like that?

Either a picture or arrange it where there isn't so much emptiness on the right side and the bottom. Will this be a post card or what?

i think if you do the background using a picture of you and your FI, then you won't need much designs at all. That way, your readers won't be distracted by too many designs and things going on in the STD.
