STD- opinions? now with pic! UPDATED with new design!

So now that we have a date and venue (mostly lol) I have started thinking about STD's. I don't want to spend a ton but do want to send something so I put this together on vistaprint. Thoughts? I've kept our names in so please don't include it in a quote as I may take it down if FH doesn't want it floating around the interwebs....

ETA: what else should be included? is the font okay or hard to read? any other comments, good bad and ugly, send my way please!

NEW VERSION UNDER THE ORIGINAL, THOUGHTS?

I like it! It's nice. Now how does Vistaprint work? You print it yourself, and stick it to the magnets like a DIY, or they mail it to you? Is that a magnet? Or can you make it one?

After some thought, I think I'm going to do this for our OOT guests.

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic!

my suggestions would be to separate your names on different lines like this:

BRIDE
and
GROOM

to make it really stand out.

also, to make your names POP i might move them up top in the BIGGER FONT so it would read

BRIDE
and
GROOM

are excited to announce....

vistaprint is awesome. they can make magnets (large or small) or postcards (large or small)

they even have invitation stuff (we are making some here for overseas guests, lol)

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic!

It's nice. IMO you could make it a little more personal by using a photo of the two of you - you don't need pro photos to do this, just a nice photo of both of you.

Do you have a wedding website set up? If so, that's another thing you'd want to add.

Good suggestion! Looking at it again, ITA. I like it, but definetly think that would make it stand out more.

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic!

Very nice, but why don't you put a pic of yourselves?

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic!

Agree with the suggested changes and thumbs up for VistaPrint. I did my STD's there as well (two sided with uploaded photo as background). Easy and quick. Loved them.

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic!

I actually like the rings! I've always felt that people probably don't want a picture of me and FH on their fridge! LOL!

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic!

Sorry, I don't care for the pic...I did mine on VP and they have really pretty designs.

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic!

yeah we don't really want to do a pic of us because so far we don't photograph so well and idk its just not really our style, i liked the rings also i think its sweet....new idea coming in a min!

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic! UPDATED with new design!

i'm sorry, i have to honest. don't hate me. but i think you can do better -- they look a little blandish to me. you need something more exciting!

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic! UPDATED with new design!

is this a magnet or postcard?

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic! UPDATED with new design!

I like it!

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic! UPDATED with new design!

i would make 'are' lowercase 'a' since you are continuing a sentance

i might also just write new york, new york. i dont think 'city' is needed, but that is more of preference...

Re: STD- opinions? now with pic! UPDATED with new design!

what about something like this? it's a postcard and has room on the other side to write your saying 'We're excited to announce our wedding date, nov 14, New York, New York, etc. etc.'

they are 100 for FREE

I like this one better, I just don't like that the date isn't more prominent.
