Program First Page Dilemma

I have been playing around with programs since we decided to utilize a church for the ceremony. Church search 2K9 is still on, but I'm working away in the meantime! I love Stephanie's idea of a photo being included, so when you open the green cover, I'd like it to be on the "front page." Here are a few I played around with:

Choice 1- A portrait of us... is it too "HI LOOK HERE WE ARE!!!!"??

Choice 2- A zoomed out portrait with the furkids... but is it TOO bright?

Choice 3- Same in black and white- but it's missing the color. I could make the flourishes green but would have to use photoshop.

Choice 4- A simpler photo with one of my favorite color effects! But is the picture too busy? And do you like the flourish placement?

I put also them around the picture for good measure to gauge everyones' reaction.

Thoughts please! 1, 2, 3, or 4? Or something else? You've seen our e-pics! And what about the flourishs? Thanks for your help!

  1. You know me I'd go with the furbabies, especially since you're using the poem and your favor :) I like the B&W better than the color, BUT it'd be cool to give the B&W some slight color effects too. Thanks for the link, I need to link you in mine - I was blogging on my lunch break between meetings and going way too fast!

  2. The first one kind of looks like a memorial service program (sorry!). I personally like the 4th choice... though I tend to go more for the artistic approach. And I DEFINITELY prefer the color over the black and white in this case! I think it makes it pop!

  3. Keep the flourish with the text... I like #1, #2, and #4... that's pretty much all of them aren't they?? I think #4 is maybe my fave...

  4. I like the last two of you .. but I am biased since I am getting married downtown!! =D The furbabies one is cute too! I think if you did the photoshop thing in green it would be good too (if they were B&W).

  7. #4 is my favorite. I think that the picture is a good choice, especially with the flourishes around the text instead of the picture. Good luck choosing!!

  8. ooh the last one is my favorite :) :) It's so much nicer to have a sort of frame on the pic instead of it just sitting there.

  9. I really like the first one!! With the flourishes as a frame like you did for the last one.
