Mike,
Hello! I reviewed both and had a hard time. They are both similar but I was a trying to think from the customer stand point. Here are my thoughts after really thinking about it. Both are good but not great. After debating which is better........my two cents says number 2.........but....yep a but. I think you need to remove the two center pictures on number two and keep the two others---the ring and couple. You want to have some of your best work on what you send out. Not sure if the bride with car in background and her hand in an awkward spot and the other picture is your best work.
I hope this helps.

Out of those 2 I would choose the second one. But I am not a fan of the blue

I think #2 is much better than #1. I agree with what Scott said about the weaker pictures, but I like the layout with three on the bottom right, but would put a small border on each photo. I would also move the text in upper right so that it is centred in that space. I don't like the dotted lines particularly. I actually tried to "Select None" when I opened it. lol... a few tweaks and I think you'll have a great card. nice touch for the customer, too.

Great thank you for the feedback. I have updated the card from the sugestions you gave. Please take a look at the new layout. Also the dotted border is just a boundry, it will not be printed.

Mike,
I think it is good but not great. I hate to be so picky but in my opinion anything I send out should look fantastic..........not ok. Just my opinion.

I think it would mean a lot more to the couple if you include only pictures from their wedding. IMO, if you're designing a generic thank you card, it's better to have a non personal pictures (flowers, rings, churches, etc...)

My 2cents.
