Save the date inserts

So I think I've figured out something to do with the inserts I want to use for the magnets:
The magnet I'm using here for demonstration purposes is not our magnet. It was my sisters from last year.
This is mine:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

First I printed out a bunch of samples with different wording on regular paper so i could just try to figure out what looks best.

So I decided that this sideways design looked nice:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket



because then I could just attach the magnet on the inside:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket



However, as the first picture shows, the slits I cut in it, kept ripping. Plus it would take forever to do. So I decided to just fold it in half and I'll just stick the magnet in the middle like its a card. Luckily it fits like a glove into the reply envelopes for the blank RSVP cards that came with the invitation kit. I wasn't planning on using those anyways, so it doesn't matter if I use the big or small envelopes.

Then I thought well it looks a little plain, so I thought maybe we could print our names on the outside (obviously would not be handwritten - which it is here.)

Something like this:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


This is the wording I decided on:

Outside:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Inside:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


The only thing is ...

I'm not sure about the hearts and other stuff I added to the outside. Maybe it will be okay with just the names. What do you think?.. or should I just leave it flat instead of folding it?

Also what do you think about it saying:
"We hope you can be there"
