Card Matters.......

We're (finally) working on the wedding cards!!! Okay, the entire stack of cards have been sitting in the living room for a while but I've officially lifted my marker and started calligraphy-ing on em'...

Folding cards, cutting gold strings & tying them... It's all so factory-outlet... You have no idea the no. of hours u spend just being a "machine" doing FOLD-INSERT-CUT-TIE.... :P

Then consistency becomes an issue... Especially with TITLES... some card says "Mr & Mrs", some says "Uncle", some just states their name. Randy says nobody compares cards to see the salutation you write, so it's okay... *heheh..*

And when both of u are so tired of being robotic-cardwriting-machines, your human self kicks in and start nitpicking over how long the string should be cut and how your ribbons are nicer than the other person's... Hahahaha...

I was just complaining to our wedding coordinators, Mr & Mrs Chow how my church invite looks different from the original one I designed. The colour was OFF. The printer didn't do a colour matching... Arrggghh... A lil' disappointment there... :(

Anyways, we're so thankful for the both of them... They reminded us of so many nitty gritties that we could have missed out! We almost forgot to register our details with ROM if they've not reminded us... Goodness gracious us...

Cards writing again tonite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(PS: When u receive our wedding cards, know that it's handfolded with love, stamped + licked with delight..! Muhahahaha...!!!)

  1. Yo... i know what you mean about the "factory-outlet" feeling, especially when it is custom-made! But it's only once in a lifetime! We also spent a fair bit of time on deciding what titles to use, and some had to be re-written because it was not consistent!
