Printing Our Wedding Invitation Cards

Counting down 111 days (11 March 2012) to our wedding, dear and I travelled to JB to print our wedding invitation cards. We woke up early at 7 30 am and left house at about 8 15am.

It was a very smooth journey this time to JB with no traffic jam and we cleared the immigration customs with very short queue.

As usual, we had our breakfast at Old Town as it is near to City Square Entrance.

After the breakfast, we hastily search for the card printing shop as we knew that it will take them sometime to prepare the template for us to take a look. To our surprise and horror, we realised that Cty Square is undergoing renovation. I was preparing for the worst scenerio that today will be a wasted trip.

We searched through City Square and were glad that only a portion of it is renovating. We managed to find the City Square wedding shops and purchase more 喜 stickers and our wedding lamps there. We even apply for their membership. The wedding lamps we purchased are exactly the same as those we saw at AMK Jubilee which the shop owner claimed that they designed it themselves. Our wedding lamps are battery operated. : )

We took the opportunity to ask the wedding shop owner if the printing shop T&T is still operating in City Square. Much to our relieve, the owner directed us to the new location. We were so anxious as we travelled down the escalators to B1 level. We will need to replan a lot of stuffs if we do not get to print our wedding invitation cards in City Square.

Yeah! We saw T&T still operating in a very small corner in B1 level. We took close to an hour choosing the design and discussing about the information to be included in the wedding cards. We completed the basic design of the card at around 12 15pm and the designer MS told us to go back an hour later to view the layout. We went back at around 1 30pm and she was still busy working on it.

So, we decided to have our lunch at SDS cafe. Dear had Tom Yam Bee Hun and I had Mee Goreng.

We saw the design of our wedding invitation cards at about 3pm. We did the final amendment and changed the design several times. MS was patient with us and helping us as much as she can, nice designer. Finally, we comfirmed our wedding cards, paid RMB$300 for 200 cards. I wanted to print more to ensure that we have sufficient supply and keeping the excess for ourselves.

We have decided not to post the wedding card design for now until we send out our invitation cards. A sneak preview of it. : )
The next issue for us is to look for nice wedding invitation card envelope as T&T does not have any for us to purchase.
