Invitations (Part 3)

[mrsBuens]

hi sis @anneshirley,

our invitation supplier initially started providing soft copies lang. search mo sa FB, the pretty palette by OJ. Pero now she offers printing services na din. everything went well naman with her.

others who does the same: sweetscapes designs, 101 folk street, moki gray.

sis LingMVL, what's the size of the envelope you bought from NB? thanks!

I got 8 1/2 vellum VECO envelopes, Elit brand. It's a #8 -- but just so you know, there are 3 types of #8's: 8", 8 1/2, and 8 3/4

Hi mga sissies,

Just want to sahre my reccomendation sa kenneth uy invites, ang bilis nila gumawa, everything personalised..
Basta dapat detailed ka, kasi more if designing lang sila, pero sa spelling di na nila check, copy paste lang talaga.

Hi sis krysia27.  who is your calligrapher?  Nagawa siya ng envelope addressing?

Her name is Anne from eruannecalie.tumblr.com I'm not sure if she does envelope addressing since she only does this as a hobby. First nya kaming wedding na ginawan ng calligraphy dahil ayaw nya ng super tight deadline

Hi mga sis, im not sure if out of topic...

Im planning to have a Table seat guest list. Im not sure pano ninyo ask sa guest yung name ng plus 1 nila. Should we instruct ba the rsvp sa coord na ask din the name of the plus 1 if may provision yung guest sa plus person?

^Ako sis tinatamong ko ng direcho anong full name ng partner niya. Then some of them will respond naman na hindi nila kasama, or they will tell me the full name. 

Please use a caret instead of quoting the post directly above yours.

Came from the bridal fair and I booked my invitations =) Could not say NO to letterpress invitations! But happy to say that because of the bridal fair discounts I was able to get it within my budget. However, I had to have my entourage and RSVP cards in flat printing in order to cut down the cost.

If anyone is also into letterpress invitations, Craft Master had very good samples!! Their designs are even better and they use cotton paper. However, I chose Ever Engraving because I am too lazy to go to Binondo to pick up my invitations LOL! Plus The add-ons are cheaper with Ever Engraving.

Printsonalities of course has good letterpress designs, but even with the bridal fair rate they still cost too much. Like the are all at least P250/set main invite, and rsvp card and  single envelope no lining!

Ah okay sis, siguro pag nag reply na lang sila sa rsvp na. Though august pa kami mag send out ng invitation 2mons before the wedding.

Thank you.
Diy kasi yung board ko eh.

sis Chili1113, i went there too and was eyeing Craft Master too!

[sevenstars]

Yay Chili, I'm so glad you got your letterpress invitations!

[dolphine]

^ hi sis Chili! I visited Ever too! How are you planning to write the guest names sa envelopes? They don't have print services for that right?

[dolphine]

Can anyone also recommend a supplier that prints the envelope addresses too? Cheaper kasi pag ganun...

[Chili1113]

Thanks sevenstars!! =) Also considering having the layout done by Sweetscapes so thaat I can maximize the letterpress printing LOL

dolphine: I plan to just use a regular home printer to print names on the envelopes. I was considering hand calligraphy at first, but I like the flexibility of printing any time at my own convenience in small batches.

Annaesthetic Designs prints names on envelopes... i was originally planning to have this hand-calligraphed but realized it was either too expensive (P15/name), tedious (if DIY), ugly (if i fail to write nicely lol) so i made sure to book someone who already prints the names. Calligraphy style font nalang.

If you're printing at home make sure to purchase additional envelopes!! Nasstuck daw yan sa printer kaya a lot of invitation suppliers dont like printing on them.

[Chili1113]

^Thanks so much sparklingjewel for the tip!! I hope I don't mess it up hay!!! Ill order a few extra envelopes just in case

Hi

Hi sis Chili,

Goodluck with the printing! Maybe there's a specific printer that works well with printing envelope addresses!

Thanks for the recommendation Sparklingjewel! I'll look it up! Hopefully hindi siya mashadong mahal.

Sis, not to discourage you or anything, but try to print a few first to see if you can do it. We tried to DIY this but failed! If hindi kinain, the envelopes got crumpled. It looked really messy! Tapos we realized we could not buy the envelopes at bookstores because it was a customized size (the envelopes that was included in our invitation package was slightly bigger than the usual 5x7 ones). In the end, we decided to have it printed at 10 (or 12) pesos each. It saved us the stress and effort. Hehe
