Our 50s theme........?!

Most of our friends should have received our wedding invitations by now! Pls let us know if the postman took off with yours!

[click on the photo to enlarge the wedding card]

Was juz chattin' with Randy abt how we're going to tahan through 2 major parties in 1 day (church wedding for our friends + dinner banquet for our relatives), and the truth is we have no answers... Hahahaha... But we've seen so many of our other friends done it before, so we have faith (and historical experience) that we would pull through.... YEA YEA...

We would have really loved to invite everyone to our wedding dinner but due to the overwhelming response from our relatives, we couldn't find enuff gaps in the hotel to squeeze more tables in... So sorry, friends-who-din-get-dinner-invites, we still love u ok.................... ;)

Many friends dropped us an sms to say that they're got our card in their mail...! But @ the same time, we got alot of people asking us what's 50s old jazz............... So I shall do a post abt the theme rightaway...
Church wedding theme: 50s old jazz
Can-can skirts... Hats... Gloves.... Belts (worn high-waisted).... Pearls......
For the men: Dated glasses with thick frame, hats, suspenders, bow ties...
Legendary 50s icon like Good Ol' Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin....
and of coz.... Audrey Hepburn...
If you racked your brains and still can't anything in the theme, u might wanna wear MONOTONES (black, white, grey) since the 50s are about black & white movies....... ;)
(Disclaimer: the photos above are just for illustration purposes to answer some of your question marks... You don't neccessarily have to dress the part or go over the top if you really can't find anything in yours/your parents wardrobe......)

Dinner banquet: Old Oriental
Cheong sums... Shawls (for men too, haha)... Fur coats.... Chinese fans....
I was hunting for cheongsums with some of my friends and found them quite hard to find...
Dressing in Gold, Red (and all other auspicious colours) are oriental too!
Anyhows, it's just for the fun of things that we state a theme... So pls still come if you can't find anything to wear that fits the theme!!!!!! We juz wan all our guests to come and enjoy themselves!!!
