The wedding invitation that turns into a record player
Karen and Mike are getting married.
As a guest, you might have found out through a phone call with friends or a chance meeting with the couple's parents – or the happy news could have made it your way via a record player shoved through your wedding invites Well, an invitation that doubles as a record player.
You see, Karen Sandler and Mike Tarantino, who live in New York, are friends with a graphic designer, who couldn't let the musical couple's upcoming nuptials go uncrafted.
"I just finished up a really fun project — a paper record player wedding invitation!" explained the invitation's creator, Kelli Anderson, on her website site this April. "In the booklet-style invitation, a bit of paper-folding amplifies the sound of a sewing needle moving along the grooves of a flexi disc record. The hand-spun record yields a garbled, but scrutable listening of an original song by the couple," Anderson continued.
It was a combination of Watch Mr. Wizard clips (a children's science show from the 1950s) and Sandler and Tarantino's musical talents that collided in Anderson's mind to create the oversized invitation that landed on their guests' doorsteps.
"They are so into music, and my relationship with them always involves music," said Anderson in an interview with the Star. "We thought about doing sheet-music invitations but realized that was kind of boring. Then I remembered from the very back of my mind a Mr. Wizard clip where they spun a record around (using paper) and it made sound, and thought, I could do this too."
With the idea conceived in early February and the wedding date set for May 22, the production time for the hand-assembled musical cards was tight.
Anderson spent weeks perfecting the design and finding the correct paper, pins, screws and flexi discs for the project, while Sandler and Tarantino recorded their wedding invitation tune.
Sandler is a lawyer-by-day/DJ-by-night. Tarantino is a Grammy-nominated sound engineer.
"It was really hard getting it to work, but we were pretty stubborn to make it work correctly," Anderson told the Star.
In fact, they were stubborn enough to assemble 150 of the invitations through the perseverance of Anderson and the help of a few friends who came over to eat and prep materials.
"Usually it is just me staying up all night on my own once all the materials were prepped," said Anderson. "In the end I was assembling 10 an hour. I listen to a lot of NPR (National Public Radio)."
Once completed and pulled from its envelope, the beige and green exterior of the booklet opens up to reveal the flexi disc, which sports a miniature Sandler and Tarantino with their headphones and guitar in place.
Invitees can then follow the instructions to fold the paper and spin the disc with their fingers to hear the couple's musical wedding attendance request.
"The warbled drumbeats and seasick guitar feel like an orchestra propelled by tiny finger movements,' Anderson wrote on her website. "There is something alchemical and magical about these humble, non-engineered materials producing sound (even though that sound is incredibly lo-fi.)."
How have their friends reacted to the posted musical packages awaiting at home assembly?
"For the most part, people have gone nuts over them," Sandler said in email to the Star. "Our design and music friends have been especially thrilled. Some of our friends don't want to mar their copies by folding and playing them and just want to save them in pristine condition. My cousin told me her son spent a solid half-hour playing with it. There are some family friends who were a bit confused by them. And I think not all of the copies arrived through the mail perfectly so not everybody was able to get them to play, which was a little disappointing, at least until they went and downloaded the mp3!"
Since writing about the invitation on her blog, Anderson has received several requests from around the world, asking her to recreate the invitation for their wedding. But don't expect to see anymore record players created by the New York-based graphic artist anytime soon.
"It is not as exciting to work on something that is a repeat if it doesn't have that personal connection; it is just not that interesting, it becomes gimmicky," Anderson told the Star.
As for Karen and Mike, they have a few other DIY plans for their wedding, but they don't want their friends to know those secrets until the big day arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions...
If a record player doesn't have a volume knob how do you adjust the volume?
This is probably a really idiotic question, but I don't know anything about record players. There's no volume knob on this record player so how do I adjust the volume?
Answer:
Are you talking about a record player or a turntable. A turntable is just the drive and tone arm to play a record. There's no amplifier of any sort so it won't have a volume control. A record player is a turntable and at least a pre-amp. This may still not have a volume control because it will need an amplifier to drive any speakers and the amplifier should have a volume control for it. A record player can also have a built in amplifier. In this case it will have to have a volume control.
