Vintage Car Pop-up Just Married Card

A vintage car pop-up just married card, 5.91 by 7.87 inches closed and 0.12 pounds. A car with tins on the back is one of the few wedding images that is genuinely universal.

Why a Car and Not a Couple

A card showing a couple has to decide what that couple looks like. A car does not, which makes this design usable for any wedding without the sender having to think about it. The tins and the ribbon do the explaining, and nothing about it assumes anything.

Leaving Rather Than Arriving

The image is of a departure, which is the part of a wedding the guests actually see the end of. That gives the card a slightly different tone from the flowers and hearts elsewhere in the range: it is about what happens next rather than about the ceremony.

Construction

0.12 pounds, towards the heavy end, where the simplest cards are 0.06 and the most elaborate 0.13. A car is a complicated object to build in cut paper, with wheels, body and a trailing decoration that all have to rise at once.

Specification

Vintage car pop-up just married card, 5.91 by 7.87 inches closed, 0.08 inches thick flat, 0.12 pounds.

Nothing is personalised, so there is no proof to approve.

At 0.08 inches folded it posts in an ordinary envelope.

Write the message yourself; the card arrives blank inside.

Cut paper holds its colour where printed ink fades, which matters for a card somebody is likely to keep.

Once opened it stands on a shelf and holds its shape.

Order with a few days in hand, since a wedding has a date that cannot be moved.

The Love Tree pop-up is the other card here that suits a wedding, for a message about years rather than about the day.

A pop-up takes the pressure off the message, which at a wedding is written by everybody at the same table.

Because the design is fixed, what arrives is exactly what was shown.

It shares its sheet size with the Love Tree, Sakura Tree, Santa’s workshop, penguin, mother’s day and birthday pop-ups.

A card that stands is also useful at a wedding itself, where cards are displayed on a table rather than opened and put away.

Made in 1-2 business days, US delivery in 3-5.
