Invitations (Part 3)

[freelancebuddy]

Got heather paper co. for my invitations. Got them in a week. Medyo rush but she was able to accommodate me.

^sa print divas may free silang (50pcs) save the date cards and (100pcs)thank you cards if you booked yung promo nila sa bridal fairs.

Oooooohhhh! That's a good promo! Thanks for the info. 

Am attending Weddings and Debuts Bridal Fair this Feb 19 so I will be sure too look out for this or similar deals. Maybe I will find a supplier who can give more pieces of Save The Date cards, hehe.

halaaaaaa. nakakabigla ang budget nyo for invitations while mine is 3k lang. hehe.

any suggestions kung pwede pa ba ang 3k for 50pcs inivitation?

[ayouweinlove]

^ Yes naman sis, attend ka ng bridal fairs and ask them if they accept 50pcs invi cards lang.
Mine is 50pcs lang din since few family and friends lang ang invited ko.
You can also try photo invitations sa mga photo studios sa malls. Ikaw lang yata magpo-provide ng pictures na gusto mo, you can use your prenup pics.
Hope this helps.

Has anybody tried Pop Gram invitations here? We need options aside from Print Divas and Printsonalities expensive kasi sila sa style na gusto namin -- Lettepress with Foil stamp. Any review will be helpful. Thanks!

Thanks sis!

Sana umokey sa budget na 3k. Ayoko kasi talaga gumastos sa invi as much as possible since itatapon lang din after.

Hi sis, you may want to check Ink Scribbler and Print Cafe, medyo mas mura sila compared to printsonalities. Same tayo ng gusto for invitation and yan ang struggle ko ngayon. Ang mahal!

Sisses, try Unifair in Binondo.  Cheapest quote for gold foil so far from all of my inquiries. I've gotten rave reviews as well from office mates and friends who have used them.

[pinaydiaspora]

^ Thanks sis. Just saw your reply here.

Anyway finally we found our invitations supplier na. Thank God after more than 2 months of searching. Neonovelties. Saw them by accident when they were featured by our photo supplier. I googled them, stalked their FB and IG and was able to get hold of Ms Leslie yung owner. Competitive prices nila since they are new in doing wedding invites but has been in the printing industry since 1980s under Neomango Grafx. Iyon lang we have to give up letterpress since they don't have it though they're good with foil stamp and opted for offset printing instead which is cheaper. Check them for options. Good luck

[ayouweinlove]

^ congrats sis! I checked their fb page, may ongoing promo sila this feb. okay din ang works nila simple and elegant ang dating.

[Little Miss Dream Girl]

Hi girls!  Question lang… how are you composing the wording of your invitations? Coordinator ba any tutulong or yung invitation supplier? Or research na lang online for wording? 

[shygirlme]

^research online lang ako guide lang ano ilalagay sa wordings tapos ginawa namin ng husband ko.

[ayouweinlove]

^nakapag-dp na ako sa print divas sis, but I might check on them too. eyeing 101 folkstreet din.. natuwa lang kasi ako sa offer ng print divas nung last bridal fair. 1yr validity siya kaya pwede ko rin gamitin sa other occasions if ever hindi sila ang mapili ko for our wed invites.


^little miss dream girl - browsing online lang din, pero mostly may sample formats na ang invitation supplier sis. you can choose lang kung anong format ang mapipili mo.


^question lang mga sis: regarding sa RSVP ng invitation is it okay to put the wedding planner's company name? sabi kasi sa akin ganun daw yun para marecognize daw na may wedding planner ako. para kasing it's their way of promoting their business. nasa online website pa naman ang rates nila. my guests can say positive or negative things about the rates of my coord. Ano sa tingin nyo?

[shygirlme]

^inask ko coord ko about it and sabi nya ilagay ko daw. so I put her name (business name) tapos cp number.

[Little Miss Dream Girl]

Thanks
@ayouweinlove and
@shygirlme 

 

I've been browsing online. I'm sure I will see many suppliers later sa megamall Weddings & Debuts bridal fair. hehe, i hope to take many many photos of sample invitations.   

Re: RSVP contact person - if you don't want your invitation to be free advertising for a supplier/company, maybe you can just put a wedding email or wedding website you create specifically for your event? 

Meron mga wedding website builders like www.theknot.com/gs/wedding-websites.

[ayouweinlove]

little miss dream girl & Shygirlme - thanks for the inputs mga sis. I opted to put the name of the coordinator mismo and put "wedding planner" below her name. some of my guests talaga don't even browse the net especially yung mga older guests ko. Kaya it's better padin to have rsvp details sa invites.

I do have a wed blog already, I'm excited na kasi, konti palang ang details. here:
theknot.com/us/jabestdayever
I'm sharing his blog to my entourage so they can have an idea na, regarding color motifs etc.

[hermione28]

My mom says Mug daw. Para sure na hindi itatapon. Haha. But this is better naman as a souvenir kesa invitation diba.

Choosing principal sponsor? I believe super iba na ngayon. Sabi ng mga friends ko halos i negosyo na nga daw ang kasal sakanila. Haha. I couldn't disagree. Well nasa prinsipyo nyo na yun kung papanindigan mong ang kukunin mo talaga yung malapit lang sa couple. And nasa couple naman yun. Kame we can't say No naman gusto ni future MIL ko yung mga PS na kukunin nya, lalo na wala naman kameng preferred kunin. Anyone is fine with us.

[shygirlme]

^tama iba iba talaga thinking ng tao. yung iba kasi tingin sa Ps negosyo. naloka ako before nakasabay ko officemate ko sa cr sabi bat di ko dinamihan PS para balik gastos daw. di talaga kami after sa pera. kasi yung iba di alam meaning ng PS. 2nd parents para ma guide kayo and hindi pera pera lang. na off ako sa recent wedding na pinuntahan ko. since kuha ni MIL yun PS, asawa ni Vice Mayor, Councilors eh di alam ang name ng ikinakasal.

[Chili1113]

^Oh my... its so so sad and honestly in bad taste to get principal sponsors the couple does  not even know! My gosh I am proud to say in my family hiyang hiya kami sa ganyan. Which is why all the weddings in my family only have few sponsors and all of which are extremely close to the couple and mostly their ninangs/ninongs at baptism.

To each his own, but I am really proud to say I only have 2 pairs of principal sponsors in my upcoming wedding. Only one sponsor from bride and groom's mother and father side.
