I ordered two blank cards from H2Cards - the first is one that I have previously posted in my post 'Officially Booked'. tThe second is a similar in design with the dragon and phoenix, but a single fold.
I was super excited and wanted to add a picture of the tracking update but I can't seem to get it to save as a JPEG so the blog is rejecting it. Bummer!
But basicaly I will holding my potential wedding invite next week!! The next step will then be the wording - in both Chinese and English - then it'll be posted to China for the relatives to find a printer.
The aim is to have the invites distributed in July - early August. This will give guests at least a month's notice which I think is more than sufficient.
Initially Ant and I confirmed we would add a little note insert with the card - a witty poem asking for monetary gifts. Unfortunately his
So we hope that all our guests will realise we don't need toasters or clocks or anything like that which will be difficult to transport overseas. Money however would be easy :)
Once the invites are out, I need to put the word out that we would prefer monies. And hopefully nobody is stingy enough to give us fj$5 like at Dom & Alice's wedding.
Of all things you remember - $5 lol. Don't worry - hopefully ur guests won't be as stingy!!! Also, this is the modern world...it is so much better to put an indication of what you want!
ReplyDeletemom & dad recently went to a wedding where requested money instead of presents! but people should realise it would be hard for you to take too much back...
