◆ At a Glance ◆

Heather and Matt had lots of 8-bit references in their wedding, but our favorite was definitely their Nintendo card box. The best part was their instructions sign that read, “If it does not work on first try, blow on card and reinsert card.” HA. If you don’t get that reference, you’re most likely a youngin’. This project brings so much retro radness in a small, DIYed package that will appeal to all your old school gamer pals.
