Some women dream of the perfect ceremony... I dream of a super-cool invitation.<br /><br />Anyway, here 'tis.<br /><br /> <img src="http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/226/poster.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />It prints in two colors and is 17" wide x 26.5" tall, approximately 2/3 the size of a movie poster. I saw the plotter proof today and it's sweet seeing it full size.<br /><br />The bottom information is set up just like the credits at the bottom of a movie poster. You'll have to forgive me, but I've blurred the info at the bottom. Some of the people in the wedding are minors, and I don't want their names visible. Basically, there's one larger line line that says when and where the ceremony is. I created a fake logo for the fake production company "Tree of Life Productions" (in association with Eros/Philia pictures) and put that at the very bottom. Her parents and my parents are listed as the Executive Producers, the man conducting the ceremony is listed as the director, and the people who made her ring are given a "Special Prop Design" credit.<br /><br />There will also be an RSVP card and envelope that get rolled up with the poster and mailed in a mailing tube. I'm currently working on those.<br /><br />Amazingly enough, she's actually letting me do this. What do you think? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>B.J.</b> <br /><small>Member # 858</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,22,14,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 22, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:17 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Great design. I'm still lukewarm about the whole "movie poster" thing, though. I just don't think that most people will want to keep something that size around.<br /><br />Here's an alternative idea: Judging from what you've shown, you could easily reduce this down to letter size or less and it would still be readable. You could give everyone in the wedding party the poster size and the small size, and send everyone else just the smaller size (maybe having some posters available on hand at the wedding if anyone wants one). This way, people could easily add the smaller size to a scrapbook or other memory collection without ruining the overall effect of the design.<br /><br />B.J. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>WizArtist II</b> <br /><small>Member # 1425</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,22,14,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 22, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:42 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Nice idea...just make sure there aren't any sequels. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,22,15,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 22, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:46 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> So, where are the obligatory "dude, your wife's hawt" comments? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> <br /><small>Member # 30</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,22,17,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 22, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:09 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Huh. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Balaam Xumucane</b> <br /><small>Member # 419</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2005,8,22,17,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 22, 2005</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:55 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The photo is great, as is the duotone wash (you are the master).

It has to do with A) it'll be almost exactly a year to the day since we started dating when wee get married and B) we've come a long way and dealt with alot. And a light year is a loooong way. So it's basically a title that says we've done alot and come a long way in the last year and now we're getting married.<br /><br />And it's totally supposed to have that chick-flick/art house look to it.
