Some Options for Our Souvenirs

I know I was supposed the pictures here. But I thought it would not be wise. I might get sued you know...

So I will just enumerate some options we liked:

1) Handcrank Musical Box from Idoido
2) Bottle of Wine Timer from The Bliss Cottage
3) Kettle Timer from July Favours
4) Gumball

Souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs...

With our CENOMAR application already on its way. And our invites revisions to be submitted tomorrow. We seem to be in pretty good shape, less than two months before the wedding. I honestly don't want to worry myself about small details. I keep telling myself, to let go and stop worrying. I will worry about the small details when it's time for it. But now, I just want to finish with the document requirements and scout for a souvenir.

Speaking of souvenir. We've been looking for a souvenir for our wedding. What are my criteria? It should be something practical. I don't like something that will just gather dust in the shelf. It should be unique. I can't choose partypics anymore since my sister is having one for her wedding. It has to be affordable. Last time we made computations, we are already overbudget. I don't want to make it more complicated.

So here I am, surfing the net and pouring over W@W looking for some ideas for out souvenirs. I'll post them in a bit ;)

A Wedding Ring Just Like Me =)

I have been obsessing about wedding rings for such a long time now. Finally, the search is over. When I saw the ring, I instantly felt something. One day when I was wandering in the mall, I went inside the store and asked to try it out. Lo and behold, the design fit well with my engagement ring! I knew, I just had to have it. I knew, deep within me, no other ring can make me feel that way. Anticlimatic, pero saka ko lang inisip ang price tag nya. Hohum.. Talaga naman.. Ang ganda din ng presyo. Hehe.

To make the story short, after talking to my very kind tita (who is also one of our PS) we agreed that we can share the expense so I can buy my dream wedding ring. Hoooray!!! Pagkabalik na pagkabalik ko dito sa Singapore, ayun. Binili na namin yun ring =) Haaay...

Let me tell you why I think the wedding ring is just like me (Sorry I couldn't post a picture. Saka na kapag nakuha na namin yun ring namin) It is two-toned and it has this delicate twist. Within the delicate twist, you can find the diamonds. I was thinking, it is so me. Kasi medyo mahiyain yun ring ko. Hehehe. Nagtatago yun mga diamonds. There's style, class and quality- all in an exquisite ring.

Wedding Invitation - Check!

I was planning my day when I realized we only have a little more than 2 months to go before our wedding. Shocks! So I called my future mother in law to ask if she can accompany me to Recto.

We talked to several suppliers. Some are accomodating and helpful while some are snobbish. We found good and common invites and we also found some below our standards. I asked my future MIL if we can go back to the store that we missed because it was one of the first ones in the row of the stores. There we found our invite supplier. The salesperson, Leni was very helpful and accomodating. We liked the quality of their printing and the designs that they showed us. So we settled on the design that we liked. Chose the wordings and the materials to be used. I have also paid a small amount as reservation fee (so we can take home one sample invite. Hehe) We still have to decide on the names of the PS and the entourage before they can start preparing the draft.

TARGET TIMELINE:
- distribute the invites one month before the wedding (February 8)
GAMEPLAN:
- finalize the names of the PS and entourage (January 4)
- pickup draft for checking (after 3 days, January 7)
- return draft for checking (January 9/10)
- pickup final output (after 1 week January 16/17)
- courier invites to be distributed to SG friends (receipt January 21)
- distribute to SG friends (week of January 22 onwards)
- distribute to PH friends and family (February 8 onwards)
