The project is an invitation for the Mid-Autumn Festival from the Embassy of Vietnam to other countries’ ambassadors and their families in Washington DC. The event is not simply a festival celebration but an exclusive and upscale experience for the selected guests and their families.

The invitation is rectangular with the structure of a poster fold with a die cut in the middle of the “poster,” forming a three dimensional paper lantern when the invitation is fully opened. The four  die-cut panelin the middle of the invitation can be detached from the Invitation, and function as a separate souvenir lantern for the guest.

 

 

In the back of the invitation is the instruction showing how to use the invitation as a lantern.
