Bet you’ve never received a wedding invitation like this before: Folded just so, this card turns into a manually operated paper record player that plays a song recorded by the future bride and groom.
Designer Kelli Anderson wanted to create something original for the wedding of her friends Karen Sandler and Mike Tarantino, and look at (and listen to) the result. Wow.
If recipients aren’t pleased with the tinny sound of the hand-spun version, they can pop that “flexi-disc” out of the wedding invitation and let a conventional turntable do the spinning for them, where it’ll play just like any other record.
Karen and Mike wrote the lyrics and performed the music, vocals and audio engineering themselves. Certainly a big help was the fact that Mike is a Grammy-nominated audio recording engineer.
