recently featured a faux vintage concert poster as a save the date, and I thought it was very cool. This could be a fun way to express yourself, and you should consider making a larger size version of your invitation to frame and keep. Just to expand on this, you could also model your invite off a vintage film poster, or possibly advertisement, I think anything along these lines could be perfect. I recommend, however, that you do your best to tie the faux poster in with the motif of your event. Below is a sample from the feature on Once Wed, and then some vintage posters I love. These posters can also be great inspiration for typefaces and typography from a different era.

I’ve become obsessed with looking for more samples, there are tons of them on the web, just google vintage concert posters, or movie posters, you may want to consider including a band or movie you like. I searched for the doors and found some really iconic stuff.
