Invitations (Part 3)

[rightback]

^sis i'm doing printing only for our invites. we did the design so its water color background with calligraphy that was digitized. we were quoted  70 per set when we booked sa bridal fair with kenneth uy. 3 sheets 250 gsm textured paper, all digital print with craft envelope. foil stamping will definitely cost more but i'm not sure how more. same with letter press. we inquired with another printing shop whom my sister knows since office suppplier nila. i was qouted around 80 per set if i remember right. i saved on the upgrades for the printing only services. i think about 20 per set din since we did the design. i inquired with global also but they did not give me discounts, just freebies which i dont need like envelope addressing etc.

finally booked Urbanista for my invites. layout design/stationery/printing all included na is 55/set.
Its a bit customized as we already had a vision of what our invitation should be. will post here when we get the output

Hi sis. May mga rates ka ba ng Urbanista? Thanks.

[zaji731]

^pm me sis your email, I'll send them to you.

If its something customized, you'll need to send them pics and specifications on stationery, so they can give you a quote. They're responsive naman sa FB messages.  Ours was booked lang at the bridal fair since we don't have any idea on stationery kaya we wanted to see it first before booking, saka to bounce off ideas na din.

ours was a tall paris black notched invitation sleeve half with embossed pattern, then 2 inserts flat print, envelope, envelope tag saka additional insert as freebies @ 25% discount

mga sis, matagal ba talaga magreply si Pretty Palette by OJ? when I sent an inquiry, it took a week for her to reply. ngayon naman, it's been two weeks after I deposited my payment, pero wala padin message even acknowledgement.

Thanks sis rightback It's nice to know na naka save ka by making your own design. I will finalize our invitation concept and scout for pricing. maganda nga yung digital print if calligraphy, si H2B lang naman may gusto ng letter press but i'm all good sa simple print basta yung design ang magdadala.. 

Sis zaji731 can you also send me an email for Urbanista's please? I'll pm you my email address. TIA

Hi everyone! I just got our invitations today. For the smooth and fast transaction, I highly recommend Print City. They were very easy to communicate with and they reply right away. They accommodated all our requests and were actually able to deliver them before their deadline.

Now, I'm trying to find a way to decorate our envelopes since I find the white envelope very plain. I'm thinking of doing envelope liners DIY style.

[tiffany24]

Hi sis chingky, can you send me the rate of your invitation supplier please? TIA 😊

[rightback]

sis tiffany24 one thing we did while scouting for suppliers is show them a peg of our invites then compare their qoutes based on paper quality, price, inclusions. some of them might not give discounts for printing only so if you think their output and price is reasonable then might be best to work with those suppliers. and if iba gusto ni h2b mo--in the end ikaw pa rin masusunod niyan

Ladies, do you know any trusted wedding invitation supplier at Recto? pupunta kasi ko dun to renew my license magtatanong na din sana ko kaso scary kasi mag isa lang ako haha. parang nakakatakot kasi eh. baka lang may marecommend kayo. thanks 

[zaji731]

all of them posted sa recto I think is ok naman.

[berryprincessy]

^ sis tiffany24, I think Im biased to say this but I tried to booked sa recto. will not mention na lang the name of the supplier. Me and h2b decided to scout suppliers sa recto for our invitation para "maka-tipid" because we dont want to spend too much for invitation na for all we know eh itatapon din. But its not wise either pala if sa kakatipid mo hindi naman smooth ang transaction mo at sakit sa ulo lang din.

First, sa mga stalls minsan makikita mo pareparehas lang din ng style and layout ng invites. minsan ganung ganun din ang style din sa mga kilalang kilala ng supplier the only difference is the paper, the fonts and quality of the printed invitation. In short hindi ganun kaayos kaya mas mababa ang price nila. pag ginandahan mo minsan ka-price na din sila ng mga supplier sa bridal fair. pero na-consider pa din namin ni h2b yung sa recto since ayaw nga namin na gumastos pa.

Okay na sana kahit ganun eh... kaso ito ang nakakainis na part... Una sabi ni Ate sa recto na nabook namin i-free na niya sa akin ang MAP and RSVP since 3 inserts lang talaga kasama sa package ko. I even asked her if she can do the location map, if I can just send the google map then siya na bahala dun. she said YES. so natuwa ako.

After more than a week of exchanging emails, draft.. edit... draft... edit... then yung map na sinansabi niya na gagawin niya pero pag pinapadala niya sa draft as in GOOGLE MAP na PRINT SCREEN PA I already asked her bakit ganun pa din yung map at ang daming errors. ang sagot lang niya is -- ma'am sa map po kung ano po ang pinadala niyo sa akin yun lang din po yung ipaste ko sa invites. WAAA!! naloka ako! ibig sabihin kung hindi ko pa siya na-confront ang lalabas sa invitation ko literal na google map na print screen pa sa desktop?! naloka ako, sabi niya siya na bahala at nakagawa na siya before ng map. ako naman nagtiwala talaga. at meron pa, sabi niya pag labas ng invites namin bibigyan pa daw niya ko ng lagayan ng name ng guest akala ko okay pagkakita ko para siyang gift card na may TO and FROM. hayyy!

Im not saying naman na lahat sila ganto sa recto. Im just sharing what I experience na sobrang kinastress ko this past few days. kaya ito kakatipid, nag-book na talaga ako ng supplier since more than a month na lang big day na namin. ayoko din maging bridezilla. Pero you can check naman sis baka meron naman maayos. mali lang yung napuntahan namin. anyway happy preps sis. sorry ang haba na. hehe!
