Silver Screen a wedding invitation staged in a picture house

The lights go down, the curtain parts and the story plays as a silent film, with a marquee, punched tickets, a cast list and seats to pick.

What are your names?

The design beside you carries the names from the first moment. You can change them any time.

The opening plays on tap, as it does on a guest's phone.

The design's card

What goes into Silver Screen.

A velvet curtain opens onto your story

  • The opening

    Old picture house

    The lights go down, the velvet curtain parts, and your Gallery photos play as a silent film that “burns out” at the end.

  • The type

    Fraunces · Karla

    Fraunces for the names, Karla for the text.

  • The colours

    Noir

    2 palettes: base, noir. Switch in one click, in the editor.

  • The RSVP

    Will you come?

    A button in the invitation: who is coming, with how many, which menu. The answers come to you.

About the design

The page is cut like a screening: a poster, a marquee running your names, a premiere countdown, parents and godparents billed as opening credits, the schedule on punched tickets, and a hall where you pick a seat; dark ones are taken, the reply opens with your seat code. Limelight sets the marquee, Special Elite the intertitles, Fraunces and Karla the rest. The house is velvet red, old gold and cream, or night blue and silver if you choose Noir. The opening dims the lights, parts the curtain, counts 3-2-1 and plays your photos as silent film until the reel burns.

Which events it suits

Two event types fit under one poster. At a wedding the cast list has something to bill — parents, godparents — and picking a seat means the guest answers by choosing, not by filling in. At an anniversary there are no opening credits, so the name marquee and the seating map carry the hall on their own. The seat code is still what gets asked at the door.
