Wow, great job guys. Very orginal. Did you have to work with another company to get the glasses?

Thanks David! As a matter of fact, we created the glasses ourselves. Printed, die-cut and then hand assembled here in the shop.

What a clever way to announce a pregnancy! That is the most unique message delivery I’ve seen yet. : ) I just linked to your site for the first time through a site I visit often: http://www.luxecetera.com/ Your entire site is beautiful ~ I’m so LUX found you and mentioned you on their blog. Have a wonderful day!

this is great! is the text ‘behind’ the red ink a blind impression, or did you print it with an opaque white? Amazing job!!!

The underlying message is actually printed in a light shade of blue.

This is ingenious. Where did the glasses go? Were they attached to the back of the card?

Hi I am really interested in having the decoder made into a Barmitzvah invitation for my son.
I am based in the UK – would this be a problem?
