Wedding Stuff

Here I am talking about wedding stuff again. Firstly, wedding cards. My original plan (months ago) was to be lazy and just get a wedding card shop to do my invitations. That plan ended when I got the quote. It was a really nice shop (quite far away) with lots of pretty designs on the shelf. So we asked for a quote. I admit, I wasn't being very thrifty in the way I wanted it - a few colours, a few sheets of paper plus a ribbon. The quote was minimum RM5+. Wow, we did some calculations and that would be RM2000+. Moreover, I wasn't impressed with the design! Honestly, I was thinking I can do a better job than this! (so action, right?)

So with the help of a few good friends, I designed my own card. Its not spectacular or anything like that, just simple and very 'us'. I sent it for a quote at one of the printers from work and it was just RM1+! I was overjoyed because it has a few colours and is also in the packaging I like.

The moral of this is, if you can, have fun designing your own card (and get some ideas and help from friends). It will save you money!

By the way..I love the design. Not because it is cheap, but because you designed it. And to me the card would cost at least RM10 and above :)
