The Hot Air Balloon: digital wedding invitation

Hold on, we are rising.

A wedding invitation as a balloon flight. At the bottom sits a burner: hold it and the page rises by itself, or simply scroll. The higher you go, the later it gets: the sky turns from morning blue through an orange sunset to a starry night, clouds drift past and the altimeter counts up to 1200 metres. At the top the balloon sits on the ground with four sandbags: tap them off one by one, the balloon lifts and the flight plan with the invitation unfolds. The programme is a route in metres, from the vows to the moment the couple takes off themselves. In the luggage section you pick what may come in the basket (it carries 18 kilos, grandma weighs 62 and comes by car) and your choice goes into the reply form. Practical details sit in a pair of binoculars with five photos: drag them and whatever is in the crosshairs (church, farm, parking, B&B, party bus) is explained below. When you sign up, your name hangs from a small balloon that floats away.

The demo opens in a new tab, with sample text and sample photos.
