DIY Helpppp

So I am on my first DIY task... Save the dates! (Yay)!

And I also love these ideas:





I want them to look elegant and I'm so confused on styles and what to do! The theme of my wedding is gold and red and a touch of sparkle. TIA

I'm confused... what's the issue? They look great. I like the red border! I have no idea what the reserved signs have to do with STDs though.

Gotcha!! I like the red border! I think if you add too many flourishes it'll take away from the picture or look too busy! HTH!

definitely agree! if you def want those little flourishy things in there, they probably make the most sense in something like this...forgive their ugliness, just a quick reference to give you an idea
