'Breaking Dawn' Wedding Invitation: Is Jacob Black's invite laminated cause wolves drool?

Dear Bill Condon~

This is important! Do you have any CGI budget left? I hope so. We kid, we kid.

I know it's late in post production, but it's not too late to fix something my husband, who is a non-Twilight fan, pointed out to me with only one viewing of the 'Breaking Dawn - Part 1' trailer on the big screen, . My husband says, "Why is Jacob's wedding invite laminated?"

My response, *crickets*. I have noticed the laminating but didn't think anything of it. HE IS RIGHT! And not only is Jacob's invite laminated badly, but you can tell that everyone else's invite isn't.

See the Voluri or "Resident" and the parent's invites are all regular paper.

There is still time to CGI a non-laminated invite Bill! It just looks cheesey. And we don't need anything more for Twilight haters to go on about.

Jacob's invite should have been dirty on the back, since Jacob threw it in the mud. The ink might not be running because Alice Cullen didn't print this at Officemax and it's probably printed embossed high-quality raised ink, but the paper should be wet in places. Water on card stock does not bead up. Plus you can clearly see the clear film...GAH.

I am sure that there must be a perfectly reasonable movie reason for laminating this, but if my husband can point this with a fast glimpse, all the TwiFans that drag non-TwiFans to our favorite love story, will too.

Will you please explain what happened?

If I wasn't so excited and fast forwarding to this:

I probably would have noticed the wedding invite. My bad. I should have brought this up months ago. Or even during our talk of sparkles at the Summit Entertainment Comic-Con after-party (I will tell all the rest of you about this soon...mostly fangirling like Kim and I did to David Slade). I am so sorry. Call the CGI people pronto. Pretty please.

To get a laugh over this little *cough* mistake, Bill. My husband thinks it's cause "the dog drools."

Sincerely,

Alison from TwiFans.com

But either way it doesnt bother me one bit about the invite, laminated or not.

Comment by Paige D on August 4, 2011 at 8:59pm: @med ztew Alice cant see anything that involves the wolves remember. When Bella was with Jacob her future disapeared:P

Comment by Margie Williams on August 4, 2011 at 9:01pm: I’m sorry but I don't think it is laminated at all. It looks to me like a pale blue gray boarder to match the design above Bella's name. To me it is not a visible edge of clear lamination that didn’t get trimmed. The thing Aro is holding is not an invitation. If you notice, what he is opening is much smaller then the invitation. I think he is opening a letter, not an invitation. There is no blue edge on what he is pulling out of the envelope, and the design above Bella’s name is not there either. So it is not an invitation. As for the ones Bella’s parents are holding, you can only see them from the back. The blue boarder is only printed on the front of the invitation.

Also exceptionally high quality paper has a finish on it that would make it harder to get it wet. It's not the sort of paper you can buy at Staples in the stationary section. It would take longer for the water to soak in. I can’t explain the no mud on the back, other then they didn’t like the way it looked. And for me, as long as they get the Honeymoon right I don’t care if the invitation is written in purple crayon.

Comment by Alison Genet on August 4, 2011 at 9:10pm: Margie-good points. I found two pictures of the invitation. One with a border (I think) and one without. But when you see the trailer on the big screen it looks like a poly cover or like a plastic covering.

Comment by Alison Genet on August 4, 2011 at 9:12pm: Aro did get a much smaller invite or just an announcement. Look at his hand size compared to the invite.

Comment by Laylah Cullen on August 4, 2011 at 9:13pm: This could have been a question at the BD panel. BTW what after-party??? Do tell please.

Comment by Kelli Chavez on August 4, 2011 at 9:19pm: I thought it just was a silver border like the one I had on my wedding invite.

Comment by RockFan on August 4, 2011 at 10:17pm: I agree with Rose Domanque and Black Twilight. This particular detail doesn't bother me either way. Bring on the movie!

Comment by Desireé Fox Naude on August 4, 2011 at 11:26pm: I did see it, but was trying to read it not really caring that it was different... I think we will have to wait for Bill to let us know why... But it was properly because of the rain...

Comment by Chas on August 5, 2011 at 12:30am: Margie Williams I think you are correct, it makes complete sense, the whole lamination thing came out of left field when i saw this post and comments. The after party, Laylah was a Summit/Fandango/and one other company's Comic Con party. I believe it was held at Nobu's the sushi restaurant under the hard rock, my friend is a bus boy there and he said the whole cast was there for dinner but I think it was the actually the after party.
