After spending a couple of hours trying to write down the names and eventually attempting to print them, we stopped when we realized DIY fail kami ni fiance in addressing the invitations. Hahaha. So today, we travelled all the way to Printcity in Las Pinas to have the names printed on our invitations. We spent 10/pc then we can already get it tom. While some can save doing DIY, it turned out to be more costly for us. Plus it saved us all the time and effort. Haha!

[belle_v2g]

10/pc sis?? That's pretty cheap!

[caleeice]

Yes sis. Hindi naman siya handwritten calligraphy so cheaper. Hehe. Fiance gave up working with the printer yesterday. Kinakain ang envelopes namin! The envelopes are custom-sized so you can only buy them at our printer at Php25 each! After a series of trial and errors, sabi namin it'll be better if we just have them printed. Haha!

Ok na yung 2k sis... sakin hiningi full payment. Buti my coord gave 50% muna (10k), tapos that night nakapag isip ako, di ako gagastos ng 20k sa invitations haha! Buti they allowed us to print something else na lang.. so sa kanila ko na kukunin lahat ng printing needs para di sayang yung dp. Ano pa ang pwedeng ipaprint aside from misalettes?

Ang mahal nga sis ng 20k para sa invitation lang... I mean ang dai mo na magagawa sa 20k.
Sis aside sa misallete, pwede din naman ang save the date, or thank you cards, or yung message cards sa registration area. Or table numbers.

^sis maukris thanks sa suggestions. I like the message card idea para pampatay ng oras sa guests while waiting for the couple.

sis, di ba KbyC din ang caterer mo? magiging surplusage lang/doble lang kung magpapaprint ka pa ng sarili mong message cards kasi KbyC provides free customized note cards tapos sinasabit sa maliit na tree. icucustomize ng AE mo yung note cards basta isend mo lang yung copy ng invitation cover or monogram mo...tapos dun nila ibe-base yung design ng note cards tsaka yung VIP menu cards.

Oo nga pala no.. medyo redundant. Hmm.. ano pa kaya pwedeng ipa print sis? 10k yung nadown namin dapat masulit haha!

pwede ba photos? why not make a photowall...

[belle_v2g]

I can ask them. saka the seating arrangement. I have a peg for that. Baka ipaprint ko na rin.

I'm a huge fan of handwritten calligraphy, but THIS is exactly what I'm afraid will happen to me. Haha! Buti nalang before I even attempted doing calligraphy on my own, I decided to just a book an invitation supplier who also prints the names on the envelopes (i don't like the look of stickered). I'll request nalang for a calligraphy-like font, but at least no more hassle and effort and wastage on my part. And yup mura lang din, my total invitation is just around P100/pc including the 3-4 pages matte card, matte cream envelope, envelope addressing, matching printed envelope liner, monogram seal and matching gift tags. Free artwork/ layout and our names will also be in brush calligraphy style. I also demanded to get the monogram and graphics file so i can translate the same artwork to my other stuff (sitdown menu cards, etc). It's not my super ideal invitation but I decided to sacrifice the pagka handwritten of it since everyone will just eventually throw it out after the wedding. Shoot me a PM if anyone needs referral

Ay ganon ba sis, haha. Di ko alam may free pala na ganon ang Kbyc.
pwede din sis yung mga prang mga hashtag or seat cards nga sis, maganda din para personalized.
Or sis aircon ba ang church mo? Samin kasi sis hindi, so papagawa din ako ng program/wedding fan.

Or if wala ka pa sis missalete, pwede din.,

[fionaapple]

I can ask them. saka the seating arrangement. I have a peg for that. Baka ipaprint ko na rin.

KbyC also provides menu cards for the VIPs pero wala sa guests. why not paprint mo na rin yun. tsaka individual thank you notes per guest/seat . so ito yung mga pwede mo mapaprint sa tingin ko masusulit mo na yung 10k mo:

1. menu cards for the guests- make sure lang na masend sayo ni Jam yung actual ni menu para match naman sa ipaparint mo.

2. thank you notes with your monogram for the guests na pwede ilagay sa ibabaw ng bawat plate.

3. photos for the photo wall/ o kaya pwede rin photo standee ninyo --yung cousin ko pinagawa niya ganito for her wedding...around 700 ata yung bawat isa. mga 20 inches yata yung laki.

4. guest seating arrangement

[belle_v2g]

I'll take note of these sis fionaapple. Thanks for your suggestions.

[belle_v2g]

^sis caleeice, I was just told by ever engraving that my invites are done na
from the original time frame na this Saturday dapat ang pick up.

[bettebette]

mga sis, regarding wink. how much pala rate nila? may difference ba yung rate kung pa-print lang sa kanila or design and print sila? Or same rate lang? thanks mga sis 

[caleeice]

^^Sis belle, sabay na sabay tayo! hehe. We're going to get our printed envelopes today.

[belle_v2g]
