Ducky, that is wonderful!!!! DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!! ps...I also agree about the RSVP..the font is a little distracting. Plus, it's redundant since you say please reply. Now, you could say "Please reply ...." in that font and leave out the rsvp.

Juju: Just wondering, what has Momma/Dorothy said about all this so far? We have all given our opinions. What is important is what Dorothy wants. What does she want? Just so you know, I love all the suggestions. Again, you can't go wrong with whatever you do. I'm sure many people will frame their invitations. I would...just beautiful!

To make it even more confusing, how about pix #1 on the front and pix #2 on the left side when you open it?

oops!, sorry Texannie. i understand/realize that juju asked for our opinion here at TVCH. i do understand that. but, Since Juju posted this: Thanks for those votes, everybody. I may try to rework the invite. And, of course, Momma will have her own ideas, like if the crease in the fold falls in the wrong place or something. Maybe she won't even like that photo being used. ----------- well, i just wanted to know what Dorothy wanted (not that Juju has heard from her yet). i understand that juju also wanted our opinion. i was just wondering if Dorothy had respondeD yet. ROFL too!!!

When, okay IF, I ever get married, I want a dress just like that one. It's the most beautiful dress I've seen. I can only imagine it in soft pink.

Tess, and Zmom, the paper is 8-1/2 x 11, so there is no inner fold. It will just be like a flyer, folded in three into a #10 envelope. Y'all BETTER NOT make me go get big mailing envelopes. Especially considering half of them will come back as undeliverable given that Momma's mailing list is written on scraps of paper tucked away various places and then dictated to her son who can't spell. Tess, yes, Momma's face comes out pretty well on the large sheet of paper. That is why I had to make her photo take up so much space, over half the page, so she would be recognizable. Ducky, that was a terrific mock-up. I hadn't even thought of that. I will have to show it to Bigdog in the morning. Texannie and Eggie, I have thought about removing the fancy script RSVP and discussed it with Bigdog today. I might go with Texannie's suggestion to put the Please Reply in that script and remove the RSVP. I had considered the redundancy aspect, but figured nobody would catch it. LOL, can't get anything by the Clubhouse. Texannie and Eggie, Bigdog is kind of insistent that he likes the caption on the photo. I think I will try it and see if I can force it under the picture. Abby7, Texannie is just teasing about "actually asking Momma." We managed to get the first mock-ups in the mail to her Saturday, so if we are REAL lucky, she will get them tomorrow, but I am not expecting she will see them before about Wednesday. She does not have a mock-up of #3. As to the dress, I believe I mentioned Momma made it herself. Now, on the down side, there is a bit of family acrimony concerning that dress. Momma insists and can bring herself to tears every time she tells the story, which is frequently, that Bigdog and his Daddy BURNED that dress, and that they laughed their heads off while they did it. Neither Bigdog nor his Daddy ever had any recollection of doing any such thing, and vehemently denied it, which of course always spurred Momma on to greater waterworks.

Hi Juju: I understand the "teasing". I get it. Now that you told the whole story about the dress, I don't know what to say. All I can say, I guess, is what I said before. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you, TVCH, or Momma/Dorothy says. Whatever you decide. The invitation will turn out beautiful no matter what...so no worries! :>)

Juju you can buy greeting card envelopes at Office max or Office Depot, etc. And just fold the 8.5 x 11 paper in half. (The envelopes are 5 3/4 x 8 3/4" and come in boxes of 100 for about $6.00) That is if you want more of a "card" look with less folds.

Dang, Julieboo! That is a good idea! I could put an even bigger Momma on the left side and then the invite details on the right side. I did not see those envelopes when I bought the paper. Do they come in colors? Sigh... more work. I don't know if I will go to the trouble now. But you never know, I might.

we are so good at causing more work for you Juju! LOL so sad all the way around about that dress. I wonder how much it would cost to have one made for her as a birthday present? I would chip in!

Yes they do come in colors, but at a higher price/lower quantity per box.

LOL, Texannie. Momma has her purple dresses I bought her for the Red Hat Society. She looks just cute as a button in them. BUT, I suppose I could go shopping for a new dress for her ...

OK, now if you are going to do it ... again.... you put her face on the front, then open it up on the left, the full size dress the right the details... but hopefully, you stopped asking for advice, and just did it your way!! *grin
