Paper Crane: a modern origami wedding invitation
A folded paper crane, a symbol of luck and long life, opening into a clean card with faint crease lines. With Jost capitals, Ballet script and Shippori Mincho, it is artful, modern and quietly meaningful.
How it opens
Guests see a paper crane hovering gently and an 'Unfold' button. Its wings lift and fold flat, it opens into a creased square sheet, and the sheet turns and grows into your invitation while the text rises in line by line.
