Option 2: very plain text, printed out on nice card. This is T's favourite. But isn't it just a bit grown up? And I'm slightly worried it sets the tone for an elegant sophisticated affair, which as much as part of me would love our wedding to be I don't think it will be anywhere close. More drunken shenanigans in a field.
Option 3: funky badges. This is another one of my favourites. T hates it.
Option 4: Fancy personalised postcard, with either our pictures or a destination close by to home. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Possible with Powerpoint and clipart? I think not.
Option 5: Buy a bunch of pretty postcards and handwrite a note to everyone on the back. Could be a lot of work, but would be nice to get a personal letter rather than a printed card (I think). Would probably only take a couple of hours. I think.
Hmmm. Decisions. Any thoughts?
(I am a bad blogger and had all these pictures saved on my hard drive without sources. Sorry. The second one is from Hello Lucky)

Have a look on moo.com, they can print postcards for you with any details you want on them and are super efficient and lovely. I e-mailed my save the dates (agree with you on the STD thing, also makes me giggle). But I like the postcard idea the best, what about places you've been together, or things which signify you as a couple without being a picture of you...
Obviously I am more than a little biast towards postcards. But having said that, I just spent the weekend making badges - lots of fun and super easy (well, if you don't mind some of them being not entirely straight/dead centre middle). One day, I might even post some blurry photographs of said badges.
How had i not seen your lovely vintage postcards before?? where on earth did you get them all from?
The phrase "drunken shenanigans in a field" just makes me happy. And I type out "save the date" every time, too.
Personally, postcards are my fave. But I actually just sent out emails. Because I couldn't wait to sort out stationery issues, and because about 2 weeks after we got engaged it was already time to send our save the dates out if we were going to give people adequate notice.
Postcards are possible: we (that would be 'I') ordered a bunch of vintage postcards from eBay, and then made a sticker with the relevant info that covered the whole back of the postcard - quick & easy. Then we handwrote addresses.
I agree about Save the Dates: who wants STDs at a wedding???
