Save the Dates

I have decided that I need to start working on the wedding again.  Probably a side effect from all of the peer pressure I have been getting.  Plus I'm in a semi-creative mood. 

So to start out, I thought about the save-the-date card...mainly because I received one in the mail from a dear friend of mine recently and I will probably need to send those out shortly after the first of the year. 

I have a total of four I've "made" up right now.  I'm going to make Shawn pick.  Just because I'm mean.  Plus, I can't really send them out or finalize them until I get the FINAL EDITS back from my favorite photographer.  I'm pretty pathetic in that aspect too because James got me the pictures a long time ago and I am just now sending him back the list of my (our?) favorites.  I'm a slacker.  What else can I say?

But anyway, my big dilema with the save the dates are (in no particular order):

1. I'm creating these in a program that most would not consider.  So with that being said, suffice to say that the fonts are not printing out how they look on the computer...and it's ticking me off.
2. I can't pick which one I like.
3. I still need to buy the paper I am going to print them off on.  Or would it be bad to leave them on the 4x6 photo paper and print them off at Wal-Mart? 
4. I can't finalize it anyway because I don't have final edits and the offical copyright release yet.
5. I have a new puppy and my two littles playing together tend to distract me from the planning that needs to be done.  Would it be weird to have two puppy ring bearers? 

I'm going to try again.  Wish me luck.
