Invitation Draft Feedback?

Glynnis, on June 6, 2016 at 11:13 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 12

Hello! I was hoping for some feedback on this draft of part of our invitations (still to be done: painted leaves along the bottom and mounted on cardstock). I keep second guessing the fonts and feel like there are spacing issues that I can't seem to fix, but I don't know if they are really issues, or just things I'm imagining as problems from staring at it too long...so some outside input would be appreciated! Thanks muchly!

ETA I had the hardest time getting this image to attach and it's showing up all weird...ugh, I fail at technology, but hopefully it's still readable!

    Any way that you can make the picture bigger? It's pretty hard to read in its current state.

    Still a little too hard for me to read to give any real advice. But from afar it looks OK.

    It is very formally worded for the playful fonts that you are using. Also, usually you use one script font and one non-script to keep it from looking messy and hard to read. To me it appears busy and that is before you add more leaves at the bottom.

    Glynnis, I like the swirls and roses and I don't see any problems with the wording, but why did you choose to capitalize "O'Clock" and "Afternoon"? One of the issues I see is the inconsistency in capitalization.

    This is just my opinion, but the angle at which you and your FH's names are slanted is throwing me off a bit.

    ETA: The banners above "of," "and," "the" and "at" adds too much visually. I agree with Brandy about sticking to two different fonts.

    I agree with Lindsay and Brandi. Keep the font you've chosen for the names and choose a non-script for the rest.

    I'm sorry the image is still not appearing that clear; it looks fine on my end now, so I'm not sure how to fix that!

    Thanks for the feedback about the font. I get that I should change it to something clearer, but I do have a question that now I feel stupid asking...but script means cursive, right? Because only the names are in cursive.

    The capitalization issue was an oversight...that's why it's good to have someone else take a look! Thanks!

    I agree about the fonts! Stick with two: pick one fancy and one that's really easy to read.

    The capitalization is odd, as Lindsay said. I'd go with: "Saturday, the eighth of October, two thousand sixteen, at four o'clock in the afternoon." And I'd get rid of the "and" in the year (two thousand sixteen, not two thousand AND sixteen).

    The purple font is very pretty the other one it's hard to tell how legible it would be in full size but here it's very hard to read.
