<p>You wouldn’t naturally think that monkeys and weddings go together, but we think this offbeat and playful approach is just aces.  We got an exclusive opportunity to feature this brand new product from Bon Moment.<br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Things we heart about this:</strong><br />
· It has a sense of humor<br />
· It’s colorful<br />
· It gives couples an opportunity to really show off their personalities</p>
<p>We also love the home-made style with exposed stitching, funny little monkeys and hatched background that smacks of a wide-woven linen.  The color options, ruby &amp; beige, teal and beige and hot pink and red,  provide enough options to appeal to a wide color palette.  Whether they’re holding hands (like the save the date) or there’s no sign of the monkeys at all (program) there is a distinct charm in the simplicity of its construction.You&#8217;ll sve the date, and save these cards&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_2442" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 424px"><a href="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/BonM2.18.20Sock1.jpg" class="liimagelink"><img class="size-full wp-image-2442 " title="BonM2.18.20Sock1" src="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/BonM2.18.20Sock1.jpg" alt="BonM2.18.20Sock1" width="414" height="380" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">You&#39;ll save the date, and save these cards...</p></div>
<p>Another thing which we thought really stood out was the homage to toy nostalgia.  Most offbeat couples can appreciate the throw-back sentiment that Bon Moment captures.  We hope to see more of this sort of aesthetic in the future!</p>
<p>We’ve been told that a matching Thank You card is in the works as well as a Do-it-Yourself wedding template PDF will be released soon.  Also, all of their products are printed on bright white card stock and are purchased in sets of 25.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2111" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/BM1.25.10Rock1.png" class="liimagelink"><img class="size-full wp-image-2111" title="BM1.25.10Rock1" src="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/BM1.25.10Rock1.png" alt="BM1.25.10Rock1" width="460" height="422" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tattoo You when you say &quot;I Do&quot; with Bon Moment.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here at Antibride.com, we&#8217;re always on the lookout for things that are new, different and otherwise off the beaten path.  Well, we&#8217;ve honed in on another interesting wedding invitation that takes a fresh look at counterculture weddings.  We&#8217;re pleased to present the<strong> Retro Rockabilly Tattoo</strong> wedding invitation suite by<strong> Bon Moment. </strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a out-of-the-box couple and you&#8217;re looking for something quintessentially rockabilly, we think you&#8217;d give this set a second, if not longing, look.  Even if you&#8217;re just a fan of &#8220;the good old days&#8221; where your grandparents walked uphill, both ways, in the snow and still like to tell tales of sock hops, war time and silk pantyhose dangling in the shower, you&#8217;ll probably like these as well.  What&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s fresh out of the designer&#8217;s fingers (released just in time for wedding season).</p>
<div id="attachment_2112" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 470px"><a href="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/BM1.25.10Rock2.png" class="liimagelink"><img class="size-full wp-image-2112" title="BM1.25.10Rock2" src="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/BM1.25.10Rock2.png" alt="BM1.25.10Rock2" width="460" height="365" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The hippest Save the Date Card in captivity. Rock on with your frock on!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Inspired by retro tattoo artists, the invitation is available in three colors, sunshine, ruby, or white (their color names), with white envelopes.  Also available is a save the date postcard, rsvp postcard, menu card, and wedding program.  Each of these pieces has their own color options allowing a couple to mix-and-match colors to create exactly the look and feel that they are trying to create.  Thank you cards are still in the works but we&#8217;ve been told they sport a kicky horseshoe (for good luck, of course). Fun!</p>
<p>We asked the artists a few questions about how they go about creating their invitation concepts and they had an interesting take on it:</p>
<p>&#8220;We like to tell a story with our invitations. That&#8217;s why we offer a total concept rather than the standard repetitive elements you&#8217;ll find on most wedding invitations. We believe in giving the couple the ability to really craft their invitation set with color and wording to really express who they are. We try to create things that will &#8216;pop&#8217; when they arrive in a guests&#8217; mailbox.&#8221;</p>
<p>This set is printed on bright white card stock and comes in quantities of 25. This set is also available in Print-at-Home PDF template, catering to the DIY and eco-brides.  See the entire set here:</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">If you&#8217;re a bride looking for a destination wedding invitation that is a little less sea-shell and sunset and a little more vintage jetset you might enjoy the <strong>Retro Telegram</strong> invitation suite by<strong> Bon Moment.</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2052" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 440px"><a href="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Telegram_Wedding_RSVP1.jpg" class="liimagelink"><img class="size-full wp-image-2052 " title="Telegram_Wedding_RSVP[1]" src="http://www.antibride.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Telegram_Wedding_RSVP1.jpg" alt="Telegram_Wedding_RSVP[1]" width="430" height="307" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">RSVP in vintage style at Bon Moment</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">We like the fact that it isn&#8217;t your typical turquoise and coral beach scene. It&#8217;s a retro travel theme that&#8217;s a little offbeat.  It features bold colors like Ruby, Onyx and Deep sea. The invitation itself is a unique take on a telegram with &#8220;STOP&#8221; after each period, just like the original delivery. Pair that with the romantic travel-poster-esque train <strong>RSVP, </strong>and you&#8217;ve got something really out of the ordinary.</p>
<p>The matching airplane <strong>Save the Date</strong> has been morphed into everything from a moving card to a vintage Hawaiian wedding invitation.  You can get save the date cards, wedding invitations, RSVPs, menu cards, programs and thank you cards within this theme.  All of the pieces are unique individually, and tell a really compelling story when used together.</p>
<p>This wedding invitation suite is created and produced by newcomer Bon Moment, through their etsy store.  Its printed on bright white card stock and comes in quantities of 25. Interestingly enough, this set is also available in Print-at-Home PDF template, catering to the DIY and eco-brides.</p>
