Show me your Save the Date cards please! HIBS welcome.

These are the designs of mine which I did but have gone for the black with the bells with printed wording on them!

Here are ours, made them myself, which wasn't as bad as I thought it might be!

Ah fab thank you! Am really liking the layered effect

Any more STD flashes?

Hi Amethyst,

Here are some of mine and there are more pictures on my website

I have done magnets before but these were bespoke but I'm happy to talk to you about them and if you want let you know prices etc. My email is *****@****************.***.

Ermmm...I think you might want to look at the NHS Direct website!

?

But this is a wedding website STD has a whole new meaning!

Thanks for the link Vanilla - you have some lovely designs! I think I am going to have a play to see what I can come up with but no doubt call in the experts when I get fed up / mess up / run out of time etc!

im having these magnets, just having probs getting my pics on here x

Here's mine -

not very traditional so may not be to everyone's taste - I was going for more of a party invite... what do you think?

Ooops! sorry about the size of the pic...

Oooooooh tango they are fab! What a cool idea. How did you make them?

Also welcome to Hitched. I am London based too, where are you getting married? We are getting married in Suffolk.

Thanks!?

just set the type up on the PC and then pressed print! then I noticed after about 30 that the blue isn't exactly the colour I wanted... oops. well they'll have to stay that way! It's great to get some feedback, H2B didn't show much enthusiasm...
Getting married in Richmond - Pembroke.

These are mine, made by the fabulous Prettywild

Wow they are really lovely! is that your colour scheme?

Ooooh fab - what software did you use tango - Word or something more fancy?

I lurrrrve yours Zippy - Prettywild's stuff is awesome!

Fancy InDesign... I'm a Mac Monkey by day, haha...

Oh really! I have a Mac but am not a design person! You don't happen to know if there is there any not expensive software someone at home could use quite easily?

Also re: your venue - is that in Richmond Park? How lovely!

I'm not sure about software - Mac stuff is pretty expensive - I use it at work and have a PC at home with the same software (but for PC -which I copied from a friend) do you have photoshop on it? you could use that. I'd be happy to help if you know what you want to do, or at least try and figure out how you could achieve it with word maybe - where there's a will...

As for venue - it was actually the only place we went to view after doing some research online and on the phone. I decided straight away it would be perfect. It was a sunny day as well and there were deer and bunny rabbits so that may have done it! as long as it doesn't rain! haha... laughing now...?

I love your Save the Dates, Tango!

Thanks Zippy!

Amethyst I've got a few photos of some individual S/Ds here but generally I make them in the style of my invitations. However I have some new individual ones coming out soon including a few more unusual formats - which I can email "work in progress" details of if you are interested.

Amethyst, I use photoshop - why don't you give that a try. I think you'd get on well with it.

Sorry I have just seen the updates!

Tango - really fab venue - I love Richmond Park! Used to go when I was a kid though haven't been in years. I have family near there though I am right the other side of London.

Prettywild - I love your stuff! Especially the Alice in Wonderland themed stationery - I seem to be more interested in stuff that doesn't immediately look 'weddingy'. And would love to see the work in progress - that would be an honour! You can email me on: ***************@**********.***.

Tange / Ooh La La - I have been looking into Photoshop - I had always thought that it was just for editing photos not general design stuff! Do you think Photoshop Elements would be suitable? The main Photoshop package looks quite pricey! I basically want to play around and see if I can put something together using borders, different fonts and some vector stuff.

Many thanks all!

A big vote for Vanilla Pod Design's here - Susan's great.

I'll try to post a pic of mine but if they don't work, Susan is welcome to!

Hi Amethyst!

you can definitely use photoshop for anything really - text and images - I just don't know if it would be worth buying the package, depends on your budget and if you'll use it later as well... Sometimes you can get 'test' versions that will work for 30 days - let me ask y H2B today he's better at the software side. - what do you already have on your computer, just word? you could also make that work if your design is not too complicated. you can always try and put something together on paper and then when you are happy with it work on the PC - that may be easier.

laters (shame I have to go to work... boo ho0!)

I am going to get a 30 day trial and have a play!

Fantastic, good luck! give me a shout if you have any questions...
