Opinions on birthday invite

Looking for a little constructive criticism Chat Icon , I put together an invite for DSs birthday, but I feel like it is missing something.

What do you think? The big empty space at the bottom is where the RSVP is.

The text isn't blurry in the original, that happened when it was compressed/uploaded.

Thanks!

Re: Opinions on birthday invite

the only thing I might switch is how the title is capitalized. I would reverse it to:

SOUND THE ALARM
Wilson's 2nd Birthday is here!

I prefer 2nd over Second just because it's easier to see a 2

Now that she posted that, I totally agree.

My complaint was with how blurry the text on top was, but if it's clear on the original, that's fine. Maybe make the text larger so it stands out more Chat Icon

Re: Opinions on birthday invite

Thanks for the suggestions, when I went back to the text I noticed some of the effects I had on it were making it blurry (the jpg exaggerated it) so I also changed the effects.

Much better! Except, don't kill me since it was my idea, but I think it looks more balanced with the top text a little smaller like in the original (or something in between the original and this one) - sorry Chat Icon

Also, I think you could say "Come celebrate with us" instead of "Come and Celebrate...".

And that's not the actual date, right? Because it says 2001, not 2011. Chat Icon

OMG, I didn't even see that typo! Thanks, I would have heard about it from a few members of my family for sure Chat Icon

I agree, I think the top text is a little to big, I'll try something between the two.

Thanks for your help Chat Icon

I think it's adorable...other than the date, I'd love to see what his head looks like flipped the other way - so he's looking toward the hose & the words.

I have been questioning that image since it is a few months old, I liked his serious face, but wasn't sure about him looking out of the corner of his eye. When I flipped the head it looked very strange because his eyes are looking off to the side. I tried it with another pic, he still isn't looking at what he is doing, but is looking at the viewer now.


Here it is (with the text off):

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

I like the new picture! He's looking forward and he looks older than the first pic (so I assume he looks more like he is right now!).

I like this image better. The other he looks sad in to me.
