Up your card box’s geek game by using an original Nintendo Entertainment System

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.

It’s dangerous to go alone: take these geeky “just married” car decals

I was revisiting one of our favorite geeky fantasy weddings, Shanon and Brandon’s Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings wedding, and remembered their fun as hell Lord of the rings “just married” car decal. “Just married” decals can lean a little on the traditional side of things, not unlike tying tin cans to the bumper, but when they’ve gone the way of the geek? The game is changed. In this case, a two-player 8-bit game. Let’s see what decals I could find including Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Legend of Zelda, The Simpsons, and Star Wars.

Video game-themed wedding

You HAVE to see the giant Stargate, light-up dress, and Minecraft cake at this video game-themed wedding

A light-up dress. A blinking tie clip. Centerpieces filled with D20 dice. Chicken and waffles on the menu. Kaylee’s parasol. A Minecraft cake so epic the guests didn’t realize it was cake. Mario and Luigi as ringbearers. Guests in costumes. A grand entrance through a giant Stargate. This geeky video game-themed wedding is an explosion of nerdy goodness.
