We received the rest of our engagement photos from Jason on Monday, and I have to admit that I love them! I'll post some of my favorites very soon, and it feels so good to have accomplished something substantial. However, with accomplishment comes...DIY PROJECTS! The first one: the Save-the-Dates.
It's interesting how one project can yield hundreds of tiny research projects. For instance, before I can buy paper, I need to look at postage rates/envelope sizes, and then where to buy paper and gocco supplies. This list goes on and on.
Anyways, I was playing around with Photoshop today and I'm having trouble deciding which color is best. Could you help?

Hi there-I just stumbled across your blog and hope you don't mind if I become a regular visitor!! My bf of 4+ years and I will be getting engaged within the next 6 months or so (if he knows whats good for him!;-) ) so I thought I'd check out the wedding blogosphere. I love your writing!!
I like the first Save the Date option--the red really pops out in my eyes and the bold, clear writing is great.
I think my favorite is the white. You can read it, but it lets the two of you be the focus of the picture. Great photo!
I think the black is my favorite. The fancy font draws attention to your names, but I think I'd play around with all of the type to make it bolder and maybe add a drop shadow to help it "pop" against the brick. The photo is absolutely adorable!
I love the second one - it's classic writing of your names but also draws your attention to you two! :) I love it!! :) Goodluck!
hmmm I think that the black one is my fave. no matter what, they will look great!
I think the middle/second one, or maybe use the same font you plan to use on your invites whatever one that might be. So cute!
#2 is the most elegant.
I like #2. It seems like it belongs on the wall!
I like the middle one too! Thanks for sharing your research and process with all of us!
Thanks for the input!!!
Coming in a little late due to the time change, but I vote for the first option! The red is bold and playful and really stands out. I think the save-the-dates are a chance to be a bit less formal than the invites!
Miss you Lynn!
I like #1 best. The red really suits the colors and style of the photo..
i too like the first one. it is the most striking to the eye, and the black is a tiny bit generic. the red ,however, has spunk
I vote for the black!
I'm torn. The red is v. trendy but the black is super classy. I think the font you've chosen for each has a lot to do w/my perception. So i guess, it's up to what you're looking for. Black would be elegant and the red would be "fierce" as Christian would say. Yeah- i'm no help =P
I like the red one - it is a little edgy and urban while still being cute and casual. I think that fits with the picture of you guys kissing and with the idea of save the date cards.

i've been combing through your site - as a fellow bride-to-be in the tampa area. thanks for the helpful ideas.
amd my vote is for the middle one!
I love the white. It's like a little red schoolhouse wall with white writing in it. Very cute.
Love the first pic!
Beautiful pictures - I love the white text the best!
The 2nd one looks great! It definitely lets the couple stand out, but also compliments them.
I think I am leaning towards the red one!
LOVE this Save the Date! So perfect!
LOVE the first one!!! It has pop! =o)
Good Luck with deciding!!
White is of course the easiest to read but I think I like option #2 best.
