I think pix #2 on #1 invite would be perfect.

Juju, I think that is perfect too!! And I would change it to celebration instead of reception. Down here we like to celebrate instead of recept. Celebrate means booze, fun and good times. Recept means dignified and refined. Now how is that for southern culture? You know we still make moonshine down here.

Juju, as the rest have already said, I think your idea of changing reception to celebration is an excellent idea.

I like it the way Strawberry did it, and I think celebration sounds like more fun.

NEW VOTE!!!

Well, hell, if I'd known Strawberry was going to do it, I wouldn't have had to do it. LOL. Except I'm not sure Momma will appreciate being squished down and made shorter and thicker like that, Berry. how did Berry DO that???

Okay, I have now done a #3. I will put in #1 and #2 to refresh the memory. Pretend that ALL of them now say celebration and No Gifts Please. The little bitty text next to the photo in #3 says Graduation from Nursing school 1927. Let me know if you think that should come off.

Grannyg, I have REAL bad news for you. Momma lives in a dry county! You can, of course, sneak your own stuff into the county, but I bet they can't serve alcohol at the "resort."

I like #1, cos you see her the best in that one.

#3 is my second choice.

Thanks for voting in round two, RB. Where do you think Texannie is going to come in on this one?

Still like #1 best. And just a suggestion, bigger font for the "You are cordially invited..." line of text. It looks great!

Well, hell, Juju...dry county don't mean squat down here...Why do you think us Southern ladies carry big old purses? (We could sneak a roasted pig in with 'em!)

Agreed, Weinermr, tried to do just that, make the cordially invited line bigger on #3 but couldn't because of having to make the picture as large as possible. BUT, if we go with #1, there is room to do that.

I like #1 because of the closeup of her face--even though the whole outfit is really something. Maybe you use the other photo on the RSVP cards, as I think someone mentioned, or on something else at the celebration.

Hey, here's an idea! (Don't know how much it would cost, though.) How about putting just the first 2 lines of your message from #2 and the full-length picture on a billboard in her town? Bet that would be the talk of the place!

Juju, how ingenious and what a wonderful thing to do! And man, if Bigdog take after her, he must be one good-looking dawg!

Now, if you must go with #1 ,
you could enlarge the correct pic to poster size and have it displayed when you first come in.

Oh, and if anybody wants to come to the celebration, just send me an e-mail at the address in my profile. Looks like so far Tater, Suitsmefine, and Grannyg might be able to attend. The party might not be too exciting (unless Suits brings a keg and a roasted hog in her purse) but I am sure we can sneak in some tvch meeting time.

Location is north central Arkansas, maybe 30 miles south of Missouri border, foothills of the Ozarks. I know about the Missouri border because we have made booze runs there in the past, LOL.

Wish I could make it!!

I like what Hp said... #1 with a blow up of 2, such a beauty!! DH was just saying his grandmother would've celebrated her 100th this week, she passed away 5 years ago tho...

BTW did you contact the Today show? Then again, she may not care, I just think either pic broadcast on NBC would be cool!!

#3

I'm still going with showing off Dorothy in her adorable pose and her complete time period dress and shoes...it's too classy not show off.

On #3, I'd like to see a vertical flow with the invitation verbage.

So where you have "Graduation from Nursing School 1927", I would like to see it centered just under the picture in maybe a smaller font if possible, as a caption and I would also like to see it say "Graduation Day from Nursing School 1927".

Also, center "No Gifts Please".

You might need to try a smaller RSVP font size in order to accommodate these 8 lines.

LOL, I'm not being picky or anything...I'm just giving my ideas for you to consider.

Whatever you decide to do, it's a gorgeous invitation!! Good job Juju!!

ITA with Texannie. #3 without the pic credit. If #1, the correct pic should be on display at the celebration. It is just stunning!

Juju, is the size of the real invitation 8-1/2x11? If so, then I vote #3. At that size, Momma's face should show up just fine on the invitations. I love the full picture of her pose.

I liked both pictures as well and could not decide. Could you use both pictures with something like this?
