Well here’s a way to try and stop some annoying relatives from making it to your wedding. A German couple has had the novel idea of sending out invites to their nuptials in the form of an 8-bit video game and, yep you guessed it, if the guests can’t complete it, they don’t get the wedding information.

Don’t let that evil monkey win…

Players can choose to be either the bride or the groom in the game, which is based on Super Mario Bros. Darina Goldin and Niko Losse are the couple in question and the game itself is called ‘Darina and Niko’s Incredible Adventure’, the main goal of which is to save Darina from an evil monkey.

TG Daily reports that the bride-to-be said of the idea, “We knew that we didn’t want standard paper invites. We wanted something for people to keep and remember. We are geeks. We love video games. Why not have a video game invite?”

The wedding itself take place in Berlin, in May and if you’re a gatecrasher at heart you can have a lash at the game yourself by heading over to Offbeat Bride.
