Interesting, there seems to be Four examples in the last picture. Do you know how many were originally done and for who.

Looks like someone did them privately for a wedding function, probably for confetti or small gift, as Steve says quite good and it shows what can be done with a little bit of effort and the right equipment. This is clearly a bit of fun but it does also highlight the need to be aware of fake boxes.

Wow! Somebody really wanted to a lot of effort to come up with a really cool looking Matchbox style wedding invite.

I wonder what the significance of the 14 is?

If I was to ever get married, I think this is the sort of wedding invite I would want being sent out....

:) :D :P

No, it's the bride's 14th husband. I feel sorry for number 75.
