So I heard about Blip billboards...you upload an image, and they display it in 8 second intervals. You have a lot of control over where, when and how often the billboard displays. For our daughter's high school graduation, I uploaded this image:
I paid $100 total to have the billboard shown over a few hours over two days (it rotated with other ads). It was along I-40 in Greensboro, about 20 minutes from our house. I figured it was unique, and less expensive than a traditional graduation announcement.

It was definitely a hit with mom and the daughter (I didn't tell either about it until we drove to view it); we drove back the next day because our daughter wanted to show her boyfriend.

It was displayed around 2,000 times over the two days, so I could have spent a lot less to get a similar result. Now my challenge is what to do for her college graduation - but I have at least four years to come up with something.

I am sure your daughter will never forget it and with the money you saved you can pay for a few therapy sessions
Very cool MLV. I am as impressed by the idea as I am that you know how to use a digital camera.

Actually, no we don't want old people on Facebook.
