Rsvp
What do u think? I am doing them on post cards to cut down on postage.
They look plain but the front will have a black out line couldn't get it to save that way.
Front
Back
I finally got my Saved the dates to save. We sent them out with our Christmas cards.

The cards look good. And, they will go great with your invites, since you chose the Black border ones with the red writing.

For some reason when I go to save something red on my computer it shows up more pink. I liked them not really Fancy but my wedding is far from fancy. Thanks Ladies!!!

I think they look good, but I do have a couple suggestions...
1) instead of the huge "RSVP" on the back, maybe you could put a black & white photo of you and Kenny? Or a monogram of your names with the date (I can help you with this if you want). I just think it'd be more interesting.
2) You may want to have a line for regrets, like so it reads:
M_________________________
_____Will Attend
____chicken
____other chicken
____kids chicken
_____Will Not Attend
Or something like that, but the way you have it now, where do they say if they're not going to be able to come?
3) I think it's "Chicken Cordon Bleu"
4) For the kid's choice you may want to rephrase it. It kinda reads like you're offering chicken fingers off of children, instead of "kids meal of chicken fingers"
5) Do you have the same (or similar) font as you're using on your invitations? May want to change it so they match.
Just suggestions, but I think they look great & will go well with your invitations. Love your STD cards!

You're also missing an apostrophe: "kids' chicken fingers."
Although I do tend to prefer "children's" over "kids'."

It might be the way you are saving them. When you go to save, do the "save as" and change the type of way you want to save them. EX: jpeg, bitmap, 32-bit, etc. I can't really remember but way back when I did alot of graphics on my computer, I remember one of them not saving certain shades and transforming them to a different color. 
They look great by the way

I thought it was Bleu! So I looked on the invoice from the place we are getting them from and she has blue on there. But I will change it it looks better that way. I will also change it to children i really didn't think about it. The first time I printed it I printed kidz. Thats how my sister's daycare center spells it and it hard to remember thats not how it is spelled after u have spelled it like that for so long. Thanks ladies.
CupieJen I wanted to put our picture on the front and fh not want it there. He hates pictures and plus we don't have any good pictures.  He don't know that are thank you notes will be post cards with are wedding picture on it.

I love the RSVP's LJ. And that's great that you're incorporating some of the girls' suggestions.

They look great Lj!
I'd probably take Cupie's advice and have a line where they can say how many will be attending or decline the invitation rather than going straight to the menu choices. Otherwise they seem great. I wouldn't worry too much about what goes on the reverse (I'm putting the return address on the back) I think it's just one of those little details that stress you out but no one else every remembers. I always pay attention to the thank you cards I receive so good call on that!

Maybe this should be a random thought! LOL! I just had chicken cordon bleu for lunch (work cafeteria was serving it). I thought about you the whole time I was eating it, Leslie!  Ooh, I wonder if Leslie's will be like this? Boy, this IS a good wedding dish. I bet everyone at Leslie's wedding will enjoy it...
