Morgan will become famous soon enough



Default What do you think of my friend's STD?

Click the image to open in full size.

Here is draft one of my friend's save the dates. She is getting married between two oak trees on a ranch. Her colors are green & peach.

Any ideas to make it better?

I'll be ordering these as vista print postcards.

She is visting me this week & we are in full wedding planning mode. I'm one of her BMs. She was one of my superimposed honorary BMs :)

Updates! I dropped my friend off at the airport this morning so now I have a chance to polish up her save the date.

I like it a lot.

Something is bugging me though. Perhaps the color of the Save the Date wording.

It looks great Morgan. I would center the date (between the name and the place). I think you need to drag the names down a little more.

They are beautiful!!! I would change the color green though for the wording...there's just something bout the two shades of green that aren't mixing well.

My $.02

I agree with Amy. With the names so close to the tree, they look offcenter. But otherwise I think it looks unique.

Just the names a bit too close to the tree.
Other than that it's beautiful!

I agree with the green colors. and you should make the wedding date a bit darker.
