The Missing Piece: a proposal invitation template
Your photo as a jigsaw puzzle with the question printed on it: they put the last three pieces in, and the picture asks.
The design
The whole invitation is one jigsaw puzzle on a felt mat, with its box. Your photo has been cut into twenty pieces and printed with the question, "Imogen, will you be our maid of honour?". When they arrive, the picture is whole for a moment, then the cuts run across it and three pieces lift out and drop into the upturned box lid, on top of the note you wrote inside it. They drag the pieces back (or tap them, or use the keyboard) and each one clicks home; with the last, the seams settle and the question reads complete. The back of the box carries the rest in a puzzle box's own words: your letter, why them as the corner pieces you always start with, what the role involves as "some assembly required", the day and place on the end flap with its barcode, your other photos as boxes in the same collection, and a note on missing pieces that makes no as easy to say as yes. They answer with one of two equal pieces: a yes snaps into place as a perfect fit, a no is set in gently, because they are still in the picture.
Colours and type
The Missing Piece comes in 3 colourways: Green felt & terracotta box, Navy mat & gilt box and Oak table & blush box, with 2 type pairings: Boxed set and Heirloom edition. 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.
What is included

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. Free for up to 10 people, with the full design.
