DIY STDs and Invitations - what do you think?

I've been doing these little doodle things for years now, and I thought it would be nice to incorporate them into my wedding somehow. The fonts and wording might change, but what to you think otherwise?

Is it too random?

I don't think they're random because they're YOU.

Kinda reminds me of Keith Haring's stuff

I prefer the fonts and the layout of the second one a lot more, though.

I think this is great because it's you! I do think the invite needs a little something though, the top left is kinda bare. JMO. The STD looks perfect!!!!

I think they're cool, but I think you need to change the scaling. I think the large cirlces are too alrge, and it's all very busy so it draws the eye away from the text..you need to re-0scale and re-shape it so that it draws the eye toaward your text. I would also think about balancing the heaviness at the bottom by putting something at the top.

Maybe if you make the design smaller you can balance it

Like One on the bottom left and one on the upper right hand side then center the text

maybe a super tiny ribbon going around and tying it in a sweet bow would help to give it more oomf? lol yes, that's a word :P

I like the first one but the larger design I think still has to be a little smaller. It kinda overpowers the wording on the invite

On the invites did you intend to not incorporate the year of the marriage on them?

ITA... and I also think that perhaps changing the font color would help as well. making the wording black... or the circles black. something to make the words stand out.

Play around with it until your eye goes to the wording more.

also, try to center the words first and spread them out... then put the circles in to decorate around the wording.

actually on 2nd glance... can you move the top part of the wording on both the invite and STD over to centralize it more? it's the names... I think if you move the names on the invite to the left and to the right on the STD it might help the look a lot. And maybe change the font color just to see what it's like with 2 colors. even if you do the same color but a few shades lighter for one...
