Very tough choice but I have to go with #2. Seeing the whole beautiful dress and shoes and still a good close shot of momma. And what a gorgeous momma!

#2 What a lovely Lady! If she wasn't already married I'd have you bring her to meet my FIL!.....And Juju,Since I am in Arkansas......should I be expectin' one of those in my mailbox! If Bigdogs Mom likes to shoot critters, I've got some raccoons that she is welcome to!

Thanks for the input so far, everybody.

I might try doing a combo of #1 and #2 tomorrow and putting it up for another vote.

Texannie, I agree that the June 30 RSVP date is unreasonable. That is Momma's doing. Apparently the "resort" which will have NO business other than Momma's on that date, is pressuring Momma for a numbers commitment real early.

It gets a bit dicey on the communications end of this thing because I don't actually talk to Momma, and Bigdog and his Momma are both stubborn as mules. :-)

Oh! And if anybody else sees any other obvious things like that which might need correction, feel free to bring it up. I have pretty thick skin.

Suits, send me your address by e-mail, and I will mail you an invite. As I told Grannyg, who is also invited, we are not adverse to padding the body count if you will spend a bit of time fawning over Momma.

Reader, Momma is just a stone's throw from Ash Flat, which is where the Walmart is, by the way. But Momma is not actually from Arkansas (and keep in mind this is Bigdog's Momma, not mine). All of us are actually from ILLINOIS!!! Momma and Bigdog's Daddy retired from Illinois to Arkansas on one of those land fraud deals of the 60's where they flew a bunch of midwest rubes in and promised them the moon while taking the upfront fees and furnishing practically nothing. Momma and BigdogDaddy were some of the few who actually went ahead and built a house, which is why Momma now lives in the woods in Arkansas instead of in a booming community as she was promised.

Moondance, that is a great idea. The RSVP's are going to Momma by phone, but maybe we will sneak an extra little card in there for return to us.

My vote goes to #2(Bat taught me to be a shoe girl) and I think Moon's idea is fabu. All us old codgers love to have people reminisce and tell neat stories about us. It also might be fun to ask any of the invitees to bring along a picture they might have with momma and themselves and you could have a poster board ready to mount them on in a collage.

I had wondered if it was a typo and supposed to be July. Good luck with getting them that early! LOL

Number 2 is pretty good--although maybe the photo form 2 on card 1 (as already suggested) might be a bit better.

I like #1 too.

Moonie's suggestion of having everyone send in a snippet of how their lives were touched by her. My cousins did that for my great aunt's 80th birthday. They set the book out by the guest book, for everyone to read and share.

My other cousins made a wonderful video for my aunt/uncle's 50th anniversary. They took all the family photos, starting from when she was a little girl, to growing up and dating him, to their wedding, her first pregnancy, first child, and so on. It was a video montage of all those photos presented in chronological order, and set to the music "Sentimental Journey." It was fabulous. I see no reason why that same concept couldn't be done focusing on an individual's life too, since of course she touched many lives along the way of her own journey.

The invitations are beautiful. I see someone has already suggested using pic #2 (just love seeing whole dress and those great shoes) on invitation #1. That would be my vote, but no matter which way you go, you can't lose.

I like photo #2 but the format of invitation #1. I feel on invitation #2 the picture is too small and it's hard to see her lovely smile.

I love both pictures, but I'm going with #2 - that skirt is so '20's, it's absolutely charming. What a lovely lady.

When is this event? I might be able to be part of the "padding!" I can scoop up Grannyg in Olive Branch and head on over! The two of us won't contribute a lot of size to the padding, but we can sure add to the racket!!

LOL Wink I was going to suggest pix too! The pix thingie went over pretty well at my wedding and people love seeing others too.

MsWho has a great idea with the video. Computers these days make that easy!!! I wish I had your photos, my new Mac throws it together in a DVD presentation that is amazing. I would love to help. I miss wedding planning!!! LOL

I wish I could come too!!!! I love Arkansas and miss it! When MsGG visits, she is a stone throw from where I grew up!

TnT, the event is actually on Bigdog's birthday, which I doubt Momma has even realized. I'll send you an e-mail. And if I should forget, send me one.

Moondance, you are certainly invited if you find yourself in Arkansas just after Labor Day. It is not going to be a BIG event, I don't think, BUT we did go get Bigdog a sportcoat and dress pants for the event.

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.

Okay, I just did a tally. I put Lance in the #2 group, but if I put him in the "other" group who want picture #2 on format #1, it would be tied 12 to 12!! With Lance in the #2 group, it is 13 to 12 for #2. And Abby7, Melfie, Citruscitygal and Eliz would like picture #2 on #1 format. I may work on that in a few minutes and will post it if I do it.

I knew it would be close. I like them both.

And of course, if we have any bored graphics geniuses out there, feel free to boogie it around yourself. You have the two pictures. Just make up words for the blanked out stuff. Margins are 1.25 top, 1.5 bottom, 1.4 right and left sides.

I might change birthday reception to birthday celebration.
