I'm thinking of doing a pop up card.
Have the front be the invite to the ceremony, all fancy and pretty.
Then it opens to reveal the reception info, with little pop ups of swirls and dots, maybe a cartoon drawing of myself and my fiance.
@RouleauLover: That sounds like a unique and fun approach
The only thing I'd worry about is whether or not it would feel kinda disjointed, like your invite and the popup don't belogn together. It'd fine if that doesn't bother you, I just know that I had a major thing about wanting all out wedding stationary type items to kinda go together. I would probably find something that was both pretty but had a fun feel to it at the same time.
Here are some that I think meet that criteria...

@RouleauLover: That sounds fun!
Or you could have a simpler dual sided invite. Front all formal, fancy, and proper, and then the back in bright colors (like black with neon print, or things of that nature) that's snappy and fun and conveys the party atmosphere. Depending on how many invites you need and if you're DIYing or buying, pop-ups could drive you crazy by the 20th one you make. Hahah.
What I would do is a formal invitation, and then do a seperate reception card that has fun wording.
I was actually considering a two sided invitation. It would save me lots of time and money. I am diy-in on a budget!
You could do a 2 sided invite very very (like 40 bucks cheaply) from Vistaprint?
I wouldn't go with Vistaprint if you can spare the money, but I like the double side approach. Perhaps you can check with a local printing company or other online ones. My local printing company did 100 invitations (double sided) for about $45
@ThePrincessMaggie: May I ask why? Did you have a bad experience?
I actually got my Xmas cards printed there, I designed them myself and they printed them. They came out well, but I am skeptical to have such an important project printed there.
Catprint has a bit nicer paper quality than Vistaprint. The nicest paper (I think!) is the cotton stock, at Catprint.
I like Zazzle... just throwin that out there! Double sided printing, 8 different paper finishes, comes with envelopes, and the perfect price.
And you could stick with the illustrated idea, maybe... have you both nice on the front with all the ceremony details and then, on the back, you guys (maybe you in a reception dress and him with his jacket off and tie loosened) and playing games (DDR machine, anyone??)
Food for thought!
@stefanieastronaut: Well, our reception is actually going to have a kinect and a N64 set up, so that fits very well! And he will be in a toga... as well as his groomsmen... this was his idea, obviously. I'll look into Zazzle as well, I definitely prefer things pronted professionally than printing from home!

So I'm planning on our ceremony to be be formal and beautiful.
But our reception will be goofy and fun with video games, dancing, and pizza.
I want to make invitations that some how go make the same transition from fancy to fun.
I was considering some sort of pop-up or pull tab, but I have no clue.
Any ideas??
