Film Canister Wedding Invitations

2 years ago I saw an article on Photojojo about how to turn film canisters into wedding invites. We thought that was pretty neat, so when it came time to make our wedding invitations this year, we knew what we had to do.

work in progress...

The invitation information was printed on a 10" strip. Then we secured the strip with a bit of tape to the small piece of film that's left in the canisters.

Closeup of the invitation strip rolled up. The strip was printed on a letterpress by Sweetwater Letterpress.

Sticker Design

This is the custom sticker that I designed for the outside of the canisters. Our names are Katie and Kyle.

The stickers were printed using an offset press, which gives them a high gloss & sharpness that you can't get with digital printing.

RSVP

We designed the RSVP to mimic the developing slip you get from a film lab. This was also printed on a letterpress by Sweetwater Letterpress.

Some assembly required...

There was a lot of taping and sticking, but no paper cuts!
