to make my wedding invitations in the style of old music/gig tickets?

My parents seem to think we are!

Admittedly i've not thought beyond the invite and RSVP part (that will be the end of the invite in the style of a tear off stub) and how it will work in terms of the table plan and the rest but I think the idea is sound and DP and I like it.

That really does sound like a great idea! Do it!

McHappyPants2012 · 16/06/2012 20:30

Do it but for idiots like me highlight in capitals WEDDING INVITE otherwise I would assume its junk mail and recycle without looking

Love them, you should do it.

TastesLikePanda · 16/06/2012 20:37

Do you know how you will be doing the tear-off bit - because I have a way that I read about but it sounds a bit silly!

TastesLikePanda · 16/06/2012 20:38

Ooh, btw - it sounds like a great idea - I would love to getsomething like that in the post! It would certainly stand out in the memory

shockers · 16/06/2012 20:40

I like the one that says 'The Big Gig'!

Joiningthegang · 16/06/2012 21:49

Do it!

sheeesh · 16/06/2012 22:01

Brilliant idea. I'd be delighted to receive an invitation like this.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 16/06/2012 22:11

Sounds great. Why didn't I think of it? :(:o

lovebunny · 16/06/2012 22:15

Sounds great, go for it!

I did mine in the style of an old Penguin book cover, which was nice.

Sounds like a fab idea. But make sure people know what it is. My friend sent me a birthday invite that was like a flyer, and I assumed it was junk mail and just put it on a shelf without looking at it. I picked it up weeks later and finally looked at it, and realised it was a birthday invite for the day before Blush It did look cool though Grin

rockinhippy · 16/06/2012 23:26

Its your Wedding, so your call - YADNBU - ours were done as gig flyers Grin

mumeeee · 16/06/2012 23:53

A great idea if you like it then do it, Nevermind what your parents think.

Back stage passes could be table places. Band names for table numbers.
I can see it all now! :-o

My cousin is a mad footy fan & his invites look like, well, football tickets. Really unusual & memorable.

Goolash · 17/06/2012 00:50

Nice :)

DumSpiroSpero · 17/06/2012 08:08

Brilliant idea!

For the table plan you could buy a dozen or so 7" singles and replace the labels with a coloured disc of paper printed with the names of the guests and mount them on a large board with sticky fixers- maybe a matching 7" in a holder on each of the tables?

DumSpiroSpero · 17/06/2012 08:12

mini perforating tool!

CherryBlossom27 · 17/06/2012 08:23

Yanbu! They are a cool idea and it's your wedding not theirs so go for it!
