THE INVITATION GUESTS FORWARD

Most wedding websites get skimmed. This one gets replayed.

Your guests arrive at an ornate golden letterbox resting on warm ivory,

petals drifting through the air. They scroll. The button presses itself,

a sealed envelope slides out of the slot, the wax seal breaks, and a

stream of rose petals and lace ribbon swirls into a full floral arch.

The camera glides through it into golden light, and your wedding date

writes itself across the screen. Scroll back up and the whole film

rewinds under their fingertips.

It feels like a movie. It works like a website.

EDIT ONE FILE, NOTHING ELSE

Everything you would ever change lives in a single, heavily commented

file: content.js. Open it in Notepad or TextEdit, change the text

between the quotes, save, refresh. That is the entire workflow.

You control:

- Both names and your wedding date (the film reveals the date for you)

- The four story chapters that fade in over the film

- Venue name, address, and a real Open in Maps button

- Three schedule cards: ceremony, reception, after party

- Every label on the RSVP form

- Your hashtag and closing message

The RSVP form connects to Formspree, Google Sheets, or any endpoint

that accepts a POST, so responses land wherever you want them. When a

guest submits, they get a burst of rose petals and a thank you. Until

you connect an endpoint, the form runs in a safe preview mode.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

- A real pre-rendered film scrubbed by scroll, not a CSS animation.

Forward plays it, backward rewinds it, both silky smooth.

- Names, date, and every word are real HTML text, never baked into

video, so everything stays crisp and editable.

- Warm ivory, blush, and gold throughout. No cold greys, no dark mode

leakage, nothing that fights your wedding palette.

- One token block retunes every colour on the page if you want to

rebrand it.

- Works on phones, tablets, and desktops. Guests with reduced motion

enabled automatically get a calm, film-free version.

- No frameworks, no build tools, no dependencies. Double-click

index.html and it runs.
