Crack the Cookie: a proposal invitation template
A fortune cookie on a little dish: they crack it open, and the slip inside asks the question, with your wedding date as the lucky numbers.
The design
The whole invitation is one fortune cookie on a small ceramic dish, chopsticks on their rest, on a tablecloth. They tap the cookie: it gives a little, a crack runs down the fold, the halves part with a few crumbs, and the paper slip slides out and unrolls. Printed on it: their name, "will you be our groomsman?" (or whatever role you asked them), and a row of lucky numbers that turn out to be your wedding date. Your personal note is a second slip, because two fortunes in one cookie is double luck. Everything else is printed on more slips laid on the table: the longer fortune (your letter), fortunes that already came true (why them), in your future (what the role involves), the lucky numbers decoded (the day and the place), your photos as prints on the cloth, and a slip that says not every fortune has to come true, so a no is easy to say. They answer with one of two equal cookies: a yes cracks a little cookie and "It came true" rises out of it; a no slides them a whole one, "Saved for you".
Colours and type
Crack the Cookie comes in 3 colourways: Blush cloth & red ink, Night-blue cloth & vermilion and Mint cloth & blue ink, with 2 type pairings: Printed slip and Modern bakery. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
Who it suits
Made for wedding party, in the Interactive style.

You write your own words and add your photos in the live editor, send every guest a personal link by email or any messaging app, and follow the replies as they come in.
