Oh no! Maybe they will grow on you after you have them for a while. Or maybe there is something you can add like some rhinestones or ribbon or something. I'm sure someone will have a great suggestion once you post the pic, dont worry!

tell them to center your names. everything is centered, why would your names be flushed left.

(i'm a designer, and that really stood out to me)

Did you get matte or glossy?? I know that can definitely change the look and feel a lot...

Also, you could get card stock and attach that to the back to make it pop more... maybe the pink you want??!

Do you have to get them from Vistaprint?

Wait, so is this just a sample or do you have the whole batch of them? Because I think that changes my suggestions....

Oh ok, so basically you can totally redesign them, you just want to get them from vista print? Because I think vistaprint save the dates can come out great! Do you have the file? How did you design them, was it one of their templates? If it is just the colors that are bugging you you (or I if youd like) can just darken them or saturate them a bit in photoshop. Or are you rethinking the whole layout? Dont worry! Its a lot easier than if you already had 100-200 of them in your living room

Can you add pink crystals to them maybe to dress them up a bit...

I’m not dead set on vistaprint – i just think they’re prices are reasonable. I used one of their templates and I think I would really like it if it was more purple and less pink. I don’t have photoshop at home or work though :o (

I do! If you want to send me a .jpg or something I can play with it for you (its slow right now...)

Re: So I just got my sample STD *updated with Pic

if you're using a provided template...then you can't really alter the colors in photoshop...you can only design the whole thing and then upload it vistaprint..

Here are some suggestions to fill up the white space..which may be the reason you think it's blah...

• Make your names larger to utilize the space better and to really make them stand out...you can combine the year and date lines to give yourself a little more space

• Try switching to a vertical format since all your type in centered, the vertical may work better


HTH girl!!!

Oh yea, you can also adjust the colors of your text (except for the design)...

Select the design, then choose the color box, from there click More.... maybe you can make the fonts larger and colors brighter?
