I am so geeked to share this with you. As I was perusing yesterday for new things to share with you, I came across one of the most interesting invitations I’ve ever seen. And I am using the term “geeked” quiet literally. This couple was featured on the Offbeat Bride blog, and their 8-bit video game wedding invitations they designed themselves! I am reposting their blog content here for you to enjoy!  While I dont’ know any video game invitation creators, yet,  I am always looking for unique and amazing ideas to share with all of you.  The videos below demo the video in their entirety, but if you want to play yourself, check out the download below.  I am playing the game myself!

Darina explains:

“We knew that we didn’t want standard paper invites. We wanted something for people to keep and remember. We are geeks. We love video games. Why not have a video game invite?”

The video games have two player choices, you’re either the bride or the groom. And the goal is to get to the end to see all the wedding info. So here’s what it looks like…

Playing as Niko:

The invitations/games come in jewel cases with informational booklets, and the cd also contains…

“…an original soundtrack and outtakes (it took me two hours to get the “I’m sorry Niko…” line straight). It also promotes our awesome singing skills, by singing not only the wrong tune, but also the wrong words of the Soviet hymn.”

Check out the packaging that the bride and groom also designed themselves:

For those of you who are interested, here’s where you can download and play the invitations! You can download it with Windows, or, using Wine, with Linux and Mac.

Anyone in the area creating their own video games or interested in creating them for couples, I’d love to talk with you!
