Ask Slashdot: Techie Wedding Invitation Ideas?

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday January 26, 2012 @10:21PM from the I-noe-pronounce-you-nerd-and-wife dept.

Qa32 writes "I am getting married in a few months and being a hardcore techie I wanted to come up with some novel way of making my wedding invite that will truly have even my mom say, 'wow, that was cool.' Has anyone out there done anything similar, or have you thought of something similar you'd like to share? I already have a few: have QR codes, have some basic embedded circuit/plate with wire leads that maybe plays a song when you connect a battery, have a way to turn up a display LCD, etc."

  Actually, they made him turn in the keys. They're hanging on the wall in my office right next to the set for the PT Cruiser.

  I wonder how many backdoors he still has in place. BTW, why doesn't /. raise money by selling his #1 account ID on eBay ?!?

How about you get a professional printer to print the invites with a nice font on high quality paper.
Then your mom might think you have reformed instead of wondering what the hell is wrong with you.

"Marriage means that you are not living in your mothers basement anymore."
We are living in her parents basement.

If it has been formal, there would have been fewer than 20 of you.
But since it was informal, less is acceptable I guess.
