So my friend Shel is one of those people who is constantly finding the funniest, cutest things on the web.  She sent me a note the other day with a link to these viewmaster invites by melangerie and I couldn’t resist posting!  I think these are the most creative invites I’ve come across to date.  Three cheers to the brilliant melangerie (and to Shel for scoping these out)!

…but that’s not all.. these invites were part of a Vintage Americana styled shoot designed by Melangerie and Rock, Paper, Scissors Events, and photographed by Jen Huang!

About the shoot: Inspired by nostalgic souvenirs and romantic road trips, the premise of this intimate wedding design grew out of an invitation concept we had at Mélangerie: to create a wedding invite using a Viewmaster (yes, like the ones we had as kids). We just love the Viewmaster form and thought it could be a great way for couples to integrate their engagement photos into their wedding invitations.

Viewmaster reels were originally conceived of as stereoscopic postcards in the late 1930’s, so this got us thinking about how we could blow out a wedding paperie suite based on other nostalgic souvenirs, like felt pennants, collectible USA state plates, vintage key chains, etc.

We began discussing the idea of styling a “nostalgic souvenir” inspired wedding design with our colleague, Ara Farnam from Rock Paper Scissors Events, and she introduced the complimentary “Road Trip” idea. When seeking a location for our photo-shoot, we instantly thought of our local favorite, James Restaurant in Brooklyn, NY. James was the perfect setting for our intimate, vintage fete aesthetic.
