If you received an invitation

to a first ballet recital and the title was

pre-ma ballerina

would you get it, or would you think they misspelled/misunderstood "prima"? 

Re: If you received an invitation

  • I feel dumb, but I don't get it. I would think that you didn't know how to spell prima.

  • I'd think it'd be weird to even get an invite to a ballet recital. Most people besides parents and grandparents don't care to go to another kid's recital.

    Very true.

  • I don't get it, even though you've said there is something to get.  I'd be confused.

  • Yeah, it would be kind of strange to be invited at all, but I surely wouldn't get what pre-ma was. I don't get it now.

  • I would think it was a recital full of pregnant ballerinas.

  • I don't get what "pre-ma" is supposed to refer to.
  • I don't get it either (the "pre-ma" part or sending out invitations for a ballet recital).

  • I have a print side business and I send physical invitations to everything, even if it's just to family.  Family and friends displaying my stuff gets me a ton of referrals.  Also, doing stuff for my kids helps me brainstorm ideas for new products.  

    Incidentally, these are for a client, who saw ML's invitations at my sister's office and ordered some for her own daughter.  She wanted something "clever" besides "so-and-so's first ballet recital", which is what I used for ML.

    "pre" because she's 6 and far far from being a "prima".

    It doesn't really make sense, honestly.

    Agree.  And maybe it's different when invitations are your business but oy - total overkill and a lot of pressure for people!  Although it's good that you're getting business!

  • Then shouldn't it say Pre-prima?  She isn't even pre school age, so I wouldn't get it.

    I don't get it either

  • Please don't do pre-ma.  It makes absolutely no sense.

    This, sorry!

  • I would think someone was trying to be clever but dropped the ball.  Not because of the 'pre' so much, but because the 'ma' is meaningless.
    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
  • H didn't get it either, but I went ahead and emailed it to her as one of the options and she totally loves it.  Each to her own, I guess.  Here's a picture of it (but ML's silhouette, for the client's privacy):

    I don't like it and yes, to each his own.

    Tell her that people are going to think it's pre as in PREtentious.

    But the design is v. cute!

  • I took dance (ballet tap, jazz, pointe, etc) for years and taught for a few years (before I had an injury) and I didn't even get the pre-ma! I would juast think you didn't know how to spell prima.
  • If it is pre- prima then that is what it should say because pre-ma would mean something different to me.  Like ma = mama, mother, etc.  Doesn't make sense.

    It should say pre-prima because that is what she is trying to say...that her DD is a pre-prima ballerina...right?
