T-shirt TV: The T-shirt Invitation

I had not thought of this one before, but it is totally brilliant. Send a t-shirt as an invitation to a family reunion. Last night I was watching my newest Christmas gift - the box set of the TV show Rob & Big. It is one of the silliest things I have ever seen and I have been talking about it a lot over the holidays - so a good friend of mine ordered it for me as a Christmas gift. Rob is this professional skateboarder and Big is his bodyguard/friend, the show is about the two of them doing random stuff with their dog meaty. I am not really sure why I love it - maybe because I have a dream that I will one day be able to skateboard. On a side note both Rob and Big seem to have clothing lines and this show is filled with awesome t-shirt designs. (Working at Spreadshirt has helped me to develop an eye for t-shirts).

Anyhow, last night we were watching the episode about Rob & Big going to Big Black’s family reunion. The episode starts with the guys at home in Hollywood and Big opens a package with a t-shirt for the family reunion. Here is a picture of Rob and some of Big’s family wearing the t-shirts at the reunion.

I think this is a great idea. Most reunion t-shirts have the date on them - why not send out the t-shirts as an invite to big event. A cool idea for family reunions or for any event. If you are a business it would be really great to get people a t-shirt (or apron or tote) with your brand before the event. And Spreadshirt is so perfect for this because we can make shirts in all sizes & colors and handle the shipping too. I would love to hear about other creative invitations that you have received for events or family reunions.

PS - If you are a Rob & Big fan - there is a free download of the the first episode of season 3 on itunes - it is hilarious.
