I am making one of these for my niece...

553642_4323923898728_991803779_n.jpg


Now my question is she got married after her first two kids were born. Should I do the dates in order (her hubby, her, their oldest son, second oldest son then their wedding) or do her and her hubbys birthdays then their wedding date and then their four kids in order of their birth?

This would be the order

Option #1:

11-18-1987 (her husband)
11-04-1990 (my niece)
2-21-2009 (wedding date)
6-15-2007 (oldest son)
11-18-2008 (second oldest son)
11-27-2010 (their daughter)
10-16-2012 (their youngest son)

OR

Option #2:
11-18-1987 (husband)
11-04-1990 (my niece)
6-15-2007 (oldest son)
11-18-2008 (second oldest son)
2-21-2009 (wedding date)
11-27-2010 (daughter)
10-16-2012 (youngest son)

I did not give it much thought when I decided to make one for her but now Im kinda wondering which way would be the best way to do it. I need to get it done so I can get it printed from Persnickety and sent because she lives in Hawaii and it is my present for her for Christmas. So that is why Im in a hurry because Id like to finish it tonight, get it uploaded and mailed to me to put in a frame and include it with the rest of the stuff I have to send her.

Including a poll to make it easy. If you want to say why you would do it one way over the other after voting thats ok.
 
I don't know. I've been thinking about it over and over and can't decide which one I like best. It probably doesn't matter that much, but if either one of them is any kind of anal, I'd go with the dates in order.
 
If I was going to do it, I'd probably just put their birthdays on it. Since there are six of them, it'd probably fit better that way, anyway ;)
 
I can't decide! do like Kate's suggestion to just put the birthdays on - that would work if you can't decide. If I had to choose, I'd probably put them in the correct order meaning husband, wife, son, son, marriage, etc...
 
I agree with Kate, since there are 7 of them I don't know how well it'd all fit. In the sample you have 6 showing and there really isn't any room left for another one, unless you shrink it all down I suppose.
 
Her kids are that old they probably know the truth of it. lol *I* would add it, and in order.

oops. didn't realize the dates in your sample weren't that. lol thought the names looked familiar. I still say I'd add it in order.
