Randi I voted for #2 as I like the fact that both pics on the left are outdoor shots. Great job by the way!

Re: help me pick a thank you

Re: help me pick a thank you

thanks for the votes!

i have a dilemma though cause DH REALLY likes #1! i can't really understand it because i think i look bad (and my mom said i look preggo! ) i told him i can't send out a pic of me looking preggo to 150 people!!! but he got really angry, because he thinks it's a better pic, so now i don't know what to do. if my mom didn't make that preggo comment, i might be okay with it, but now, no way! so now i don't know what to do

and ps - this was actually designed by the velvet studio, not me - i just altered it by adding in different pics. but thanks for thinking i'm cool enough to put something like this together

Re: help me pick a thank you

I really love the 2nd pic because you guys are embracing one another & so close together...forget what your mother said...no one who is going to receive either of these thank you cards will be thinking that...that my two cents

Re: help me pick a thank you

Which picture does you DH like better in #1? I think the big picture in #2 is a better shot than #1 - why? Mainly because all the pics on the left are shots where you're looking at each other or standing next to each other, so I like that in the big #2, you guys are huddled close together and very lovey-dovey. So it's a nice contrast to the other shots. I think it's definitely a better option than #1.

Re: help me pick a thank you

I prefer # 1 because of the beach background. Also, the daytime picture on the beach is a little larger in #1

Re: help me pick a thank you

randi, i voted for #1 bc in #2's close up, the flash is really bright. i like that the coloring on #1 is a bit better so that you can see the detail of your dress and your faces arent washed out at all by the flash. i also like the beach background of the #1's closeup much better as well. other than that, i really like the top left pic of #2. if it was me, id take the closeup pic from #1 and move it down to #2!

eta: omg, randi..you dont look preggo at all!

Re: help me pick a thank you

We think both of them are so beautiful. We did choose number 2. The outdoor photo is beautiful.

Re: help me pick a thank you

Randi I like the pics in #2 better but I will say I prefer #1 for the layout so I voted for that one. Just a personal preference, but I like how that picture blends in a little more smoothly than the other. I think it makes it part of the background and then the other pictures on top just make it a nicer layout, as similar as they both are. #2 is also way too bright. The flash is washing you guys out.

Thats JMO. But I do prefer the other pics in #2-you guys look more relaxed and happy.

Ask DH what he likes so much about #1-he might just prefer how he looks in it. In the second he looks more startled lol. MY DH is like that too sometimes with pics but doesnt know how to voice what he dislikes. He just says 'I dont like it. ' I have to play detective -rolls eyes-

I don't think you look pregnant. The dress is just pulling funny. Its a great picture.. I just prefer that you're hugging in the 2nd one.
