Creativity ?

Lot of dreams- butterflies- DL (descriptive Language) [This is not Webservice DL]-flashy cards- e-invite.

Did you figure out what I am intending to write here ? Yes, it is about bride and the grooms and the wedding cards.

I have seen several wedding cards and creativity of different people while designing their wedding cards. Most of the cards that I have seen are lovely cards from Menaka cards or Maya cards. Some of the cards that I have seen are designed by the bride and the groom by themselves. I know a person who had a crossword on the invitation. The person is definitely not a crossword solving enthusiast who focuses on anagrams to solve the Hindu crosswords. I know someone else who had a pictionary of different rituals on the invitation. I have seen cards where the bride or the grooms have written poems, descriptive quotes, etc. Some of the cards had photos of the bride and the groom from their engagement ceremony. Later on, the trend was to have an evite link apart from the original wedding card. For those of you who are new to evite, the top ranked search engine, GOOGLE has several links to explain about evite. The bride and the groom create a profile in this evite system. Usually the bride posts her pictures from different stages of her life. Similarly the groom does. They write stories about how they knew each other if it were a love marriage. Those who have arranged marriage write stories about how many hours they spend time talking over the phone and create subnet congestion there by making BSNL wealthier.

Recently I happened to see someone’s wedding invitation to a whole bunch of people in his distribution list. The person had very proudly written his resume in the invitation :)
Then there comes the interesting part of this invitation. He had links to both their facebook profiles and also their BlogSpot links in the invitation. I felt little funny to see that and yes, unfortunately the SNS links are references to their identity.

Of course I did not like the idea and probably will never like the idea of printing blogspot or facebook links and resume on the wedding invitation. I was wondering if this person should print his LinkedIn public profile link on the invitation instead of a so called resume ? Doesn't this make more sense ?
All I could think about this was people are very CREATIVE.

Interesting how a wedding invitation can be. I dont see a point in people giving out all the information on wedding cards. All you need is the date and the place of marriage with the names of bride and groom...that is what u call a wedding invite.
