Our 80's Glam Wedding Invitations Are Here!

I am pissing myself with excitement because now that the wedding invitations are printed and in my possession, it means that this thing is finally fucking happening! Woohooooo!  Finding the right company to work with on your invites is crucial--especially if you are considering doing a custom design.  Here was our criteria for our wedding invitations:
  1. We wanted to give our business to a small, but super-talented company on the brink of greatness.
  2. We wanted the invitations themselves to be one page. 
  3. We wanted them to be informal. 
  4. We wanted them to exude "badass."
  5. We wanted to custom design them.
  6. And we wanted them to be a representation of what our guests would be "getting themselves into" should they attend.
And thanks to my pal Twitter, I didn't need to search very far for a talent that could provide us with the goods. Here's how it all went down. One day, I found myself tweeting with this uber rad chick named Maureen from Bon Moment! - a small stationary company that specializes in badass designs and amazing customer service.  Since tweeting with her--not about business or anything--just silly tweets for fun, I had checked out her portfolio on Etsy and was immediately drawn to the quirkiness of Bon Moment!'s work.  I mean, they have a robot-themed invitation suite, people! ROBOT-THEMED. I already loved Maureen, and after seeing her work, and speaking with her about doing a custom designed invitation, we pretty much knew we found our perfect match. So we got to chattin', and worked together on a design that would be as rockin' and as wild as our wedding itself. So we immediately jumped to Bowie 80's glam theme (surprise, surprise. hehe). Then I threw out the idea of doing a concert poster. And that idea snowballed into pure awesomeness. Awesomeness that I have been waiting to show you for way too long! So without further ado... Our Wedding Invitations!
I came up with the wording... hoping to keep it as close to the concert poster theme as possible. Here's a close-up shot:
I can't believe I actually told our guests that pants were not permitted.  I hope they don't take that too literally... or do I????
And because the 80s Glam Invites turned out so awesome, Maureen went ahead and made a whole matching invitation suite to go with it!  Check it out:


I am so beyond touched that our Bowie-inspired invitation design spawned a whole suite of 80s Glamified Rockstar awesomeness.  So now you can have your own 80s glam invitations too! I mean, how cool is that? Bon Moment! offers a wide range of stationary services... holiday cards, menu cards, thank you cards, DIY wedding invite templates, custom design, color choice, etc, etc. Just go there and check out their work. I promise you will be impressed. I mean, their company motto is this, "we create wedding invitation suites that befit a couple that dances to the beat of their own drum." Can I get a HELL YES?  So, my thanks to Maureen and Bon Moment! for being such amazing folk to work with. We couldn't have asked for a more fulfilling vendor experience.  So if you want creative, think-outside-the-box, fairly priced wedding invitations, then I urge all of you to work with Bon Moment!

  3. Those are so rad, the only thing that makes me sad is that you didn't get to use those RSVP cards! The fourth grade girl inside me wants them as her personal stationery to write to her imaginary friends.

  21. Those are super radical. I think this is also the right forum to announce that every time I see Bon Moment's {BM!} logo, I giggle. Like the way I giggle every time people use the STD's acronym.
