Little Sketchbook sample invitation for Jess Park & Danny O’Connell (and Biscuit the dog), shown on a phone.

Open it on this phone(opens in a new tab)

The opening: “Rub to develop”

An undeveloped instant photo. Guests rub to develop it (or tap, and it develops on its own): the print gains color, then a doodled frame and your names ink themselves in.

Every opening has a button and keyboard alternative and a Skip link. Guests who prefer reduced motion get a short crossfade instead.

The music

Ukulele, toy piano, glockenspiel and hand claps, bright and playful, in a 60-second loop. Original, composed for Honored. It starts only after the guest opens the invitation, and can be muted on every screen.

Layout

Tilted photo cards with tape corners, your story as a comic strip you caption, a doodled map of the day and an RSVP on a sticky note.
