    My fiance has a cousin who is a Graphic Design major at Auburn. She designed out STDs, invites, and rehearsal dinner invites for us.  She did not put a picture into the STD so we sent it to Fedex Office, where I used to work, and we had a friend of mine incorporate our picture. Today she sent back two proofs. The one that is mostly white is FCILs original design + our picture and the other one is ex-coworkers original design. The white one matches the design of our formal invitations. So, which one do I choose????

    The second one.  Its beautiful and classy.  The first one is a little too busy and casual (for my taste).

    I'm not a fan of the "oval" picture (circa 1990) and it doesn't go with the design.

    The white invitation flows better.

    Has your fiance mentioned to the cousin that you had someone alter the design?  I'd hate for there to be a family drama over this... but graphic designers, photographers, and other artists are really picky and she may be hurt that you had someone else alter the design (even if only to add your picture).  I would def. talk to her about it or ask if she could put the photo in herself.

    I like the second one better, but I would definitely talk to her about her adding the picture instead of you... she might rework it so it flows differently, or figure out an even better layout to feature both the picture and the flower! :) Good luck!

    I like the white one better too, but honestly I'm not a huge fan of the picture added, and I think it may hurt the designer's feelings.  The picture just doesn't flow very well with the design.  Maybe you could include your picture somewhere else?  Such as on the back of the STD, on the envelope, or a photo stamp?

    the white one. I don't like the oval picture on the first one. Is the picture in the second one going to be big enough when printed? What are the dimensions of the card?

    @KLP2010-when she sent it to us, it was with the understanding that it would have to be changed to add a picture.  She was perfectly fine with it because that was what we initially requested, and she did not have time to add one in. I love her and I definitely would not do anything to upset her.

    We decided that we did not like either, so my fiance took the initial design we got from his cousin and was able to create it with our picture without losing her essence. I love this one so much better. 1000x better, it was exactly what we both had in mind.  I am pretty sure the deminsions are 4x3 and they ar magnets.

    I hope it uploads!!
