STEP 4: Insert the cassette/RSVP into the tape deck and close. I prefer double-sided tape it's strong and less messy. STEP 3: Tape or glue the entire tape deck to the boom box. STEP 2: Use a couple more Velcro dots to hold the tape deck closed. Peel off the backing to the hook dot and close the tape deck. TIP: To align the Velcro like a pro, stick the loop Velcro dot to the corner of the invitation. Opening this will now reveal the invitation portion and your wedding details. STEP 1: Add a Velcro dot to the bottom inside corner of the tape deck to hold the deck closed. Suggested soundtrack: Eye of the Tiger by Survivor This finishes the tape deck and creates the slot for your cassette. STEP 6: Fold the hinges along the fold lines into a similar z-pattern and glue about ¾” up from the tape deck fold. It's really starting to come together now. STEP 5: Take a piece of the Vellum that you've cut to 3.5 x 5″ and glue to the back of the tape deck window. STEP 4: Fold into a z-shape, so the tape deck is on top. STEP 3: Score the fold lines on the card and hinges (don't underestimate this step! You'll thank me after about invitation #25). This is definitely easier with an X-acto knife but is possible with scissors, though you may crease the invitation making the initial cut. Don't forget to cut out the tape deck window. Or just use scissors - it's really what takes your fancy. STEP 2: Cut out the deck using an X-acto knife and ruler for the straight edges, and scissors for the curved hinges. STEP 1: Download the template and add your wedding details in MS Word or Mac Pages. STEP 5: Snip each corner at a 45-degree angle for the full retro look. STEP 4: Score along the middle line just like you did for the boom box, and fold in half. STEP 3: Cut out the cassette and attached RSVP card. You can use any fonts that you like, however. If you don't have these fonts installed before you open the template Word will substitute fonts, which could make the design look a little funky (typically not in a good way!). The fonts used in my sample are Prisma and Century Gothic, both of which are free downloads, so go ahead and grab them and install on your PC. STEP 1: Download the template and add your details in MS Word or Mac Pages. Suggested soundtrack: Maniac by Michael Sembello This will help you get a clean corner cut. TIP: If using scissors, when you get to the handle, cut toward the center of the little notch beside the handle. An X-acto knife, ruler, and cutting mat works really well for this, but scissors will also do the trick. STEP 4: Cut along the outer edges of the boom box, discarding the logos and printed instructions in the process. STEP 3: Fold along the crease you just created, printed side out, and glue the boom box together. STEP 2: Score the paper along the middle dotted line using a scoring tool, or in a pinch, a closed mechanical pencil. The heavy weight is luxurious to touch, but not so heavy that your printer starts smoking, rendering this entire DIY process a complete fail before you actually get to any DIYing. TIP: Paper between 65 lbs and 110 lbs works best. STEP 1: Print the template on 8.5 x 11″ white card.
