Our high school just had Winter Formal which is a girl ask guy event. Here's the details of how Megan asked her date.
She started with clear plastic christmas ball ornaments that she separated - spray painting one side red and the other white.
Once dry she inserted one puzzle piece into each ball. The puzzle was an enlarged photograph of a local place that Megan had cut into 12 pieces.
Megan then took the 12 balls and added black electrical tape around the middle and finishing them off with a round white sticker. If you are a geeky boy or live with any geeky boys you might now recognize that what Megan was creating was pokeballs from Pokemon. We apparently embrace geekiness in our home.
All Megan needed to complete her invite was a letter from the Pokemon Center and the actual invite (little square card below) that was inserted into a pokeball and placed at the location that the puzzle revealed when put together.

To: Brock, Pewter City Gym Leader
From: Nurse Joy, Pokèmon Center, Kanto Region
Dear Brock,
We need your help!
Yesterday, at the break of pokèdawn, the malicious trio of Jesse, James, and Meowth
(that's right), otherwise known as Team Rocket attacked a pokètrainer in the Oaktree
Forest, scattering all his pokèballs. We need you, you squinty-eyed, hair-gelled
pokèwonder, to save the day!
According to our pokèsources the trainer lost 12 pokèballs, all in the vicinity of the
pokèbridge, located near the center of the pokèforest. We need you to immediately get
dressed in the provided pokètraining ensemble and locate all of the pokèballs. You
GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL!
Once you have safely gathered all 12 pokeballs it is imperative that you bring them back
to the safety of your pokèhome to be opened so as to not have any pokèmon escaping
into the wilds of the forest. The safety of these 12 pokèmon is of the upmost importance.
Their pokèsafety is in danger so please perform this mission quickly.
The pokètask may be treacherous and you may desire the company of another skilled
pokètrainer. Feel free to locate another trainer of your choice and bring them along.
In the event that you do bring another trainer all we ask is that you provide the
companion trainer with the necessary pokèrecording equipment that we have given
you so as to document the pokèmission for later review.
Thank you so much for helping us solve this puzzling pokèproblem.
Megan, Emily and Meg's friend Kenzie dropped off the letter and a Brock outfit (for those not in the know Brock is a pokemon trainer that wears an orange shirt and green vest) at the door of her intended date, rang the doorbell and ran.
Before ding dong ditching they had hid all 12 pokeballs
at this local park.
While waiting around to make sure no little kids would come by and start grabbing pokeballs before Austin got there I snapped this picture of Emily. It has nothing to do with the invite - I just like it :)
His response came a few days later. After a knock on the door Megan walked out to find this...

The back of the yes sign...
And the personalized pokemon card that accompanied it
