Arrvied Feb 24th

My sample invites arrived today!!

It came in this morning's post and I had a grand time ripping the envelope open with my workmates crowding my desk.

I ordered two sample cards; one is Ant's choice that I attached in my previous blogs, and below is the picture.

And below that is my choice.

 

Ant's choice is shit.  It's very complicated because the 'double happiness' paper-ribbon thing needs to slide off when you read the card.  And it folds out on both sides, then you have to fold the paper insert up.  Most complicated. 
 
My choice is stunning; the card is made from red satin paper so it is luxuriously soft to the touch.   It is very basic, with your standard phoenix and dragon on either edge of the card.  And smack in the centre is a double happiness sign that is glued on so won't flap around.  Very classy.
 
I asked 6 of my workmates and they all preferred my choice.

Out of interest, I looked up the tracking number and it still said the same thing it did in my last post under Sample Shipped.  ie; it was still in transit from Feb 14th.  Nothing is more reliable than Australia Post from the looks of it!

Now I've got to courier the cards to Fiji so that Ant and his family can have a look at it too.  Then it has to be couriered to China for the relatives to find a printer.  They'll need to get the satin lining exactly like my sample or I will not be impressed.

Luckily for me, the receptionist is away today so I can slip my personal mail past the temp. Yay!!
