The Viewmaster Invitation is a Nostalgic Way to Invite Guests
Meghan Young — August 4, 2011 — Art & Design
The Viewmaster Invitation is the ultimate way for hipsters to invite guests to a special occasion. Taking the iconic retro toy and turning it into a custom invitation is possibly one of the coolest and most practical things that can be done with it.
Joining the roster of original wedding invites, the Viewmaster Invitation tells a simple story through a series of images that ends with inviting the guest to a wedding (or any other special event).
Created by Brooklyn-based studio Mélangerie Inc, the Viewmaster Invitation uses seven photos, including a brief description of them, that the customer sends in themselves. These are then set up as slides and sent back within six to eight weeks. The Viewmaster Invitation may be expensive, but it is also totally worth it.
