I’m not going to hide it… I’m a huge nerd. I love video games, especially the old school ones I grew up playing with my little brother on our Commodore 64, original Nintendo, and Sega Genesis. In fact, my boyfriend is playing Street Fighter next to me right now (p.s. Happy Birthday to him!). Well, I found another set of pixelated wedding invitations inspired by retro video games that I had to share. It just shows that you don’t have to be traditional when planning your wedding just because the general population does so. Do something that suits you and your fiance. It will make for a more memorable and genuine event.

My favourite part is the “Insert Coin?” phrase asking people to RSVP for the event. Very cool.

I thought pixelating an italic didone typeface was a wild idea, but then I came across this example of a pixelated wedding theme and I realized this was probably one of the most unique ideas I would ever encounter.

The set began with an illustration of the pair in pixel form, and then the simple idea of carrying out the theme with pixel flowers. It is described by the groom as ‘retro 8-bit quirky and fun, but elegant, beautiful and colorful. Perfect’.

And how sweet is this gift idea of making laser-etched personalized moleskins for the entire wedding party? The bride and groom went with Engrave Your Tech to get these beauties done. Some amazing stuff there! Definitely worth checking out.

And then there was the cake, embellished with the little pixel flowers.
