Ladies I need help

here is my STD'S. The heart is the magnet and the ivory is the card. Can you tell me if you like the wording on the card?

Re: Ladies I need help

I should know this but I am double guessing myself...

I think it should be they cant wait rather than we cant wait...

Maybe someone who can think more clearly can answer that question better..

other than that...sounds good! looks great! (are you using kathy from agiftfulheart.com...????i got mine from her, she is so sweet and prompt)

Re: Ladies I need help

Yes were using kathy. Shes really quick. Thats what i was thinking too. But then it sounds like someone else is sending them out. I dont know what to do. Which ones did you pick?

Re: Ladies I need help

i think u should remove 'and we can't wait' it's a diff. tense then the opening sent. ...and i think taking it off will make it smoother, and less wordy.

other then that i think they came out great!

good luck!

Re: Ladies I need help

Those are great. Dumb question but Save the date cards is that new? What is the point of it?
I love them. I want them. But FI might say 'what's that'(men)

Re: Ladies I need help

Really cute! I agree that it seems like there is something wrong with 'we can't wait' It probably should be 'they can't wait' or something else. Great choice on the STD though!

Re: Ladies I need help

noticed that it says 'invitations to follow' in 2 places, in the heart and below it to the left.

I would leave it just to the left.

Very cute!

Re: Ladies I need help

I don't know why, but invitations to follow caught my eye....I think it should be 'invitation to follow' (no s).

One is on the magnet and the other is on the attached card.

Re: Ladies I need help

As a rather picky person when it comes to verb tenses and the use of first versus Third person, I agree with the other ladies. If you want the invitation to read as someone ELSE sending it, then keep 'their'.

However, I would choose 'Save the Date for the wedding of...' for inside of the heart. Leave the pertinent information INSIDE of the heart (ie. names, date, and location) as that is the magnet and the other part may be thrown away. You also do not need to repeat yourselves. Leave the 'invitation to follow' where it is on the outside ONLY. I would take your names OUT from the outside of the heart and replace it with 'WE' followed by 'are excited to announce our upcoming wedding...etc' It may look a little less busy.

OR you could tell me to shut up and get a hobby when FH is playing football on Saturdays.
