Wedding Invitations with a novel twist
Would you go for a marriage announcement in a medicine box? Novelty wedding invitations imprinted with the words Evleniyoruz Biz; We're getting married on cardboard-containers that resemble medicine boxes are gaining in popularity in Turkish society. In recent days, the variety of these novelty invitations has been steadily growing. And every attempt is being made to make them look medically realistic -- with labels, stamps, and tiny descriptive text on every side just like real medicine boxes. Only when you examine the box closely do you "get it" -- as the miniature text slyly reveals a wedding invitation to an impending high-society marriage.
But the novelty doesn't end with the outer box, because when you open it you find 6 authentic-looking sugar coated almond 'pills' and a prescription 'Prospectus" -- which describes the Happiness Giving properties of the marriage pills. And, if you hope to attend the wedding, you'd best read the whole Prospectus... because hidden away amongst more tiny text are the details of the wedding ceremony -- where the marriage will take place, the wedding date, and the time when the nuptial vows will be exchanged. |
