I'm lovin this already.  I'd like one to give to Mrs. Rayman. Oh wait, if I did that she'd probably think I want to do something crazy like renew my vows.

The paper record player is probably the best wedding invitation ever

When Kelli Anderson designed a wedding invitation for her friends  she came up with the perfect balance of nerdy and cool: The Paper Record Player.

Aside from the actual mechanics, the design of the invitation is gorgeous, with great 1950s-style graphics and lettering. Flip the pages and you’ll eventually come across a flexidisc record. Fold the preceding page in half, and place the needle in its edge onto the record. Then, turn the record by hand at precisely 45rpm and enjoy the crackly, bass-free song.

To find out just how much work went into the details, check out her blog post where you’ll discover — among other things — more than you ever wanted about the standard sizes of screwposts.
