Ask Slashdot: Techie Wedding Invitation Ideas? 399
Qa32 writes "I am getting married in a few months and being a hardcore techie I wanted to come up with some novel way of making my wedding invite that will truly have even my mom say, 'wow, that was cool.' Has anyone out there done anything similar, or have you thought of something similar you'd like to share? I already have a few: have QR codes, have some basic embedded circuit/plate with wire leads that maybe plays a song when you connect a battery, have a way to turn up a display LCD, etc."
Well, looks like you did one thing right.... (Score:5, Funny)

How about you get a professional printer to print the invites with a nice font on high quality paper.
Then your mom might think you have reformed instead of wondering what the hell is wrong with you.

If it has been formal, there would have been fewer than 20 of you.
But since it was informal, less is acceptable I guess.

Actually, they made him turn in the keys. They're hanging on the wall in my office right next to the set for the PT Cruiser.
