OK to use the Boarding Pass Template for Actual Invites?


Recommended Posts

I had already come up with my invitation design ... but have fallen in love with the Boarding Pass STD's so many of you have done.

 

So ... is it okay to use those Boarding Pass templates for the actual invitations (since my postcard STD's already went out this past spring)?

 

I showed Tom what I was doing last night and he thought it was cool, but my Mom thinks some people might think its too informal or even tacky, especially for our older family members.

 

What do you think?

 

BOARDING PASS INVITE: I'm attaching what I have so far (the "Return Ticket" would actually be last as the RSVP card that can be sent back as a postcard ... but I have it in the wrong order on here).

 

MORE FORMAL INVITE: Also attached. Pretty straightforward, except it will be on smaller paper and trimmed down.

 

I would also include a single page "newsletter" type form with the more detailed information in either invitation.

I say go for it. I love creative invites. I don't think older guest will think they are tacky. I actually think they will enjoy them the most. I made some crazy invites for a wedding shower that I was worried some people would hate. Once they went out I got a bunch of phone calls from people saying they were so cool. The older ladies liked them too. They were in clear envelopes so the addresses were written on colorful paper inside. I think as long as the invites are clear & easy to understand, people will like them & appreciate your creativity.

 

My former boss got an invite that was a plastic box full of water and plastic fish. You read the invite through the water. Unfortunately something went wrong with hers & the water was dark brown & smelled bad. It was hard to read the invite through it. But she still thought it was awesome because it was so original.

That is exactly what we did Tami! We had planned to do a "formal" invite and the boarding passes as our STD's but since we have a fairly small, intimate group of family going we decided to have fun with it and send the boarding passes. I know they will enjoy receiving the boarding passes more than a formal invite.

I just finished ours (the template, not the printing...) and have our AHR info on there as well!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
