I created my own Christening Invitation-- Opinions, please

Hi,

Can you guys tell me what you think of this invitation. I made it from Vista Print. Do you think it looks stupid? Can you make out the wording?? I need some new prespectives, because obviously I know what I am reading, LOL

Thanks,
Denise

Adorable pic.. but I'm not really loving how the words are over the face..

It makes it hard to see what a cutie he is!

Maybe if you wanted to do something like that you could use cards that are sheer on top with cardstock under. I did something like this for DS and it came out very well.. and I made and printed them myself.

wed id that fo rmy wedding invite, beleive it or not you can print on regilar tracing paper...so we did the word on the cardstock, and the b and w pic on the tracing paper...if not crop the pic sot he baby is ont the rght and word son the left

Re: I created my own Christening Invitation-- Opinions, please

It's a very cute design, but I really am not a fan of the writing over the picture, you can't see the beautiful baby. As others suggested, if you can get the velum sheets to go over the card w/the picture, so the writing's not directly on the baby's picture, that would be good.

Or, you could move the text to the left & right sides of the photo, around the photo, KWIM? So text in the left "empty" space in the photo, then baby's body/face, then text to the right, if you need the room. Or crop the photo as mentioned above.

I LOVE the photo, but as pps stated, the wording takes away from your gorgeous son!

I would play with it a little more!

Re: I created my own Christening Invitation-- Opinions, please

Awe, thank you ladies so much. I really appreciate your honest opinions and the compliments~! :)

I will play around with it a bit. I don't have a printer to do the overlay idea, I just wanted to order them online, so I think moving the words to the sides will be a good idea. I will play around with it and post an updated invitation! :)

Thanks so much once again.

Denise

I would rather see a smaller picture on the side of the writing, than the writing going across babys face.

Re: I created my own Christening Invitation-- Opinions, please

I agree with everyone. No writing on the face. The color of the font also gets lost in the background of the photo. I would do the writing on the sides of the pic. Is the picture cut off at the top or is that just the way the picture is?

Re: I created my own Christening Invitation-- Opinions, please

Yes, it is cut off, I just noticed that. Ok, here is the updated one..

I like it but not crazy about the wording over the face. Could you maybe see how it would lay out - by moving the picture to the right and the writing on the left? Not sure how it would lay out you would need to play with it a bit.

Re: I created my own Christening Invitation-- Opinions, please

It's beautiful and I agree I wouldn't write over the face. I would blurb out personal info though

Re: I created my own Christening Invitation-- Opinions, please

Thank you. I found another pic. can you see it?? He had a sign next to him that I tried to distort out , but I think it looks stupid.. It is so hard to see becuase it is blurry due to LIF image resizer. Mabye I will just post a copy of the pic itself?
