Hi all, I posted a month or so ago about throwing my hubby a luau graduation party and you guys gave me alot of good ideas so here I go again with the favors!

I have the invitations but I am completely blank on how to word them. I am usually good with this sort of thing but not this time. I am hoping you witty folks can help me. I did an online search but didn't like anything.

Some tidbits---
He is graduating law school after 7 years. Its not a pool party. It is indoors. It can't have anything pseudo-dirty like "lets get lei'd." The inlaws are fuddy duddies. We're going to have a hula hoop contest, loudest shirt contest, and hula lessons with a floor show.

Here's a link to the invitations in case someone is interested. Invitations

Thanks in advance for any ideas!!! I know I probably should be throwing some chips and dip on a table but after 7 long years, I want it to be a great celebration for him and everyone who has supported him.

Those torches remind me of Survivor! And he has survived law school.

But of course if your group isn't into Survivor that won't be a thought.. if they were then you could use a few survivorish things.. like you could have a box for cards or have them write "votes" which would be personal messages.. the personal message thing works with any theme.. like at Spy's wedding she had these branches (like little trees) at each table and had cards that people used to write messages and then we tied them to the branches. Some way for people to write notes, cards, guest book, will give him a nice memory.

Very sweet that you want a great celebration! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

I found a poem that I want to print out for my nephew for his high school graduation, but I thought maybe I could put an airplane in the background on the paper, since he wants to be a pilot.

I have the poem typed up in word and I found an airplane in my Microsoft Office clipart that I put in the background, but it is black and I need it gray. Now what?

I'm not clipart savy so I don't even know where to look for a gray airplane and even if I found one I'm not sure what to do with it.

I'm not looking for anything fancy, this isn't his graduation present, his present is coming later and he knows that.

So, I'm calling on the creative minds here to help me out.

Jewels the easiest way is to check with Staples or Office Depot to see if they have some paper with the background you're talking about. Then if you don't find anything try doing a google search for gray airplane clipart.

Jewels if you post the image of the black plane in here I'm sure someone can convert it to grey..

Or use white type. E mail me the plane and I could do just about anything you want in photoshop...

Well, Jewels, here is one:

airplanes

But typically, all you need to do is search for "graphic of airplane" or 'grey airplane picture," etc.

What I think would be cool, but only know how to do in Quark (which I no longer have on my computer) is to wrap the poem INSIDE the shape of an airplane shape. I'll mess around and see what I can do to do that and let you know if I am successful. But I am sure there are people here who know how to do that or something like that.

Jewels when using MS Office you should be able to click on the clipart of the plane and change the color to a grey. Just put the cursor over the image and right click and something about formatting the picture or color will come up. I don't have MS Office so I can't give you exact instructions but I know I've done it in the past. If the plane you have is colored, you'll have to turn it to monochrome (black & white) first and then change the black to grey. PM and I can try to help.

I figured that out, Grace, I was just getting ready to see if it works. I knew I had done it with other things before, but my head just wasn't working this afternoon with sick kids running around me.

Julie has been helping me through PM. THANK YOU, JULIE! The plane you sent with the blue background may work if I can't get this one firgured out!
