STD designs! Need opinions again :) (PIP)
Soooo since Vistaprint sent me an email for 100 free postcards, with free image/design upload and glossy finish, we thought what the heck, let's not make them our STDs,and if they look like crap, we're only out $7 for shipping. Vistaprint also will print a message right on it for us (although we were prepared to... handwrite.... 100... messages... lol), which is awesome! All we'll have to do is stamp and address.
So, I came up with two designs....and when I say two, I mean that I had to re-design these about 6 times before Lucas gave me the green light (to quote him: "I just need to see that WOW factor!" hes so cute lol) but anyway, these are the final two that I ended the process with. We ordered the STDs with the first design (the simple one, as Lucas said that's the one he got the WOW factor from and he thinks the second one is too "busy"). The message says "Please save the date for our upcoming wedding! We would love for you to join us on May 25th, 2013 to celebrate our marriage. Formal invitations and more information to follow. With Love, Lucas and Lorna"
Now, I'm wondering if, since it's a free offer, should I just order 100 in the other design too, justtt in case we change our minds about it later? What do you all think? Is it worth the $7 now?

If they are free, though, I would say go for it and order both!

The second one is nice to, but I agree with your FI - the first has the WOW factor.
Melissa, we have "decided" on it, and I put that in quotes because Lucas feels like we haven't "decided" anything until we book a venue. We are communicating with vendors for that date, Lucas raised no objections whatsoever about that date being on the STDs, so I think it's pretty safe to say we've decided on that date. However, I'm waiting to really celebrate it until he gives me the 100% affirmative. He's very silly about it, when I ask him (using TK's countdown) "Sooo, what are you doing in XX days?" he'll respnd with something like, "If God allows it, getting married to you," or, "Possibly getting married." He'll even say stuff like "When we get married ..... in 2 to 3 years.... blah blah blah." It bugs me and is kinda disheartening that I can't get him to just freaking say that this is our official wedding date, and I can tell that even the conversation about him makes him antsy... but, I suppose if he were truly not ready to commit to it, there wouldn't be a ring on my finger and we wouldn't be continuously making plans. I also think he does it just to bug me, which is really unfair lol
