Koozie Invitation
When I was about 13 years old, I received my cousin’s bar mitzvah invitation. My parents were of two different religions, thus my brother and I were atypical in our neighborhood and did not celebrate any coming of age type ceremony other than our birthday. As I was saying, my cousin’s invitation was nothing short of awesome. It was a mini clear box with a basketball court inside, all the info written on the “back wall” and little chocolate basketballs that rolled around inside.
What an invitation! To this day, that invitation still sticks out in my mind and instantly triggers a memory at the mere mention of the word invitation. When we get married we want our invitations to last in our guests’ minds for years to come; at the very least, we want to create a favorable reaction. We want our guests to get a feel for what our upcoming event will be like. Our invitation is like a preview to our special day. It must be perfect, it must be creative and most importantly it must represent us.
