Manolo for the Brides

When it comes to unusual invitations, these have to be the most unconventional — and the coolest — I’ve seen yet. Designer Matt Terich and his wife Tere Mendez create decidedly untraditional wedding stationery that looks like sweet rock concert posters. They do a smashing job at it, too, which is not particularly surprising considering that Terich makes at least part of his living doing poster work for bands.

Each invitation created by the duo behind Poster Bride is 100% original — sketched by hand, rendered onto film, transferred to a silk screen, and printed in house. The process is simple. You and your intended chat with Terich and Mendez so they can get a feel for your relationship and your tastes, then they send you a few prototype posters for you to choose from. Of course, if rock posters aren’t your thing, they also make beautiful custom letterpress invitations.

Two more things:

• Some legit comments were accidentally deleted today during the early morning spam deletion fest, and if yours were among them, I’d ask you to repost so we can see what you were thinking.
• Tomorrow evening, I’ll be pimping iDo at the Meadow Club’s Fall Bridal Showcase in Port Jefferson, NY from 7 to 10 p.m. If that’s your locale and you’re coming to the show, be sure to stop by my table and say hi!
