Email invitations

As our big day comes nearer, I have to think about doing an email invitations for my friends and colleagues.

How should I go about doing a nice e-invite? I think I have to do a few drafts 1st.

Our website URL also in Chinese Metaphysics Gobal Consulting URL

Last weekend, I received an email from Master Tong, a fengshui master (Chinese Metaphysics global consulting) who calculated our wedding date.

He told me that he saw and complimented our wedding website. I was very surprised and happy. As I only give my web address to the people I know, I was curious how he got to know and I asked him. He shared with me how he got to my website. He also wanted to included my web address in his website too and I'm very happy to share with others our wedding preparations!

Our wedding 90 day plan

The 90 day plan idea is adopted from my company (As shown below). As our wedding is coming close to 90 days, I have decided to use it as a planning tool to work on the tasks required to do to work towards the wedding. Hopefully my hubby finds it useful too.

Wedding card inserts printer

It was our 1st visit to Focal Ad whom we engaged them to print our wedding cards inserts. We selected our insert and wording colour (ivory and matt gold respectively). Stephen who was the in-charge also guided us on the approriate contents to put inside the inserts. He would give us a draft in three days time and would be ready in 1 week after confirming the draft.

Just selected our photos!

Together with my sis and Xiao Yun, we went to select my photoshoot photos yesterday. As my hubby had something on, he did not come along but picked us up when we left.

I heard about many horror stories from friends and colleagues about bridal studios pushing and pressing couples to top up photos and even became hostile to couples if they did not top up. I was quite worried about this. My friends suggested to bring friends along to select photos because they would be more rational which photos looks good.

We took less than an hour to shortlist and selected the photos. We selected 30 photos and 1 of which was converted from 1 of my items in my wedding package. (I was entitled to 29 photos in my package) Although my coordinator did recommend me select top up to 45 photos to do those pretty magazine style layout kind of photo album, we felt that it was not neccessary. My coordinator did not push me further; she was busy with another client (no time to entertian me which was good for me). :)

Conclusion: If you want to do your photo selection, choose a day like a weekend which bridal studios are usually busy. The staff would not have to entertian you and you can choose your photos in peace. They would also won't have to persude you to top up photos. Do bring friends along, they can help you to decide on which photos are good.

Last of all, I want to thank Xiao Yun and my sis for giving me frank opinions and help me to select and decide on photos so quickly.
