DIY: Overseas Save-the-Date

I've mentioned before that we wanted to give our overseas friends ample time to prepare (and to think if they wanted to come to our wedding, haha) so we decided to send STD to our overseas friends more than a year before the wedding. In that way, they can plot their leaves, buy luggages, check for promo fares and do their other preparations.

So, my very own graphic artist came up with this STD. :)

The luggage colors represents our motif, the places were each of them are based is represented by the planes and the concept is basically an invitation to travel... for a wedding. :)

It will be printed on photo magnets and will be sent to them ASAP. We already contacted our supplier who will print the STDs and once we have it, we will begin sending it out.

Two DIYs done, gazillion more to go. :)

DIY: The Monogram

Presenting, our Monogram.

Monogram
Noun. a design consisting of two or more alphabetic letters combined or interlaced, commonly one's initials,often printed on stationery, embroidered on clothing, etc.

I have bullied pressured wait for J to come up with our final design. I wanted to have the final monogram before we print our wedding paraphernalias. It took us a couple of months before we come up with our final monogram. J spent a lot of time squeezing out all his creative juices to show me  a wide array of samples that we can choose from. We even had a small fight along the process and I told him we'll just pay someone to do our monogram but in the end, he said he wanted everything personalized. And I'm glad I believed him.

This may not be the most perfect monogram, in fact, to some, it may not even look good. But this is us. This represents us. And the journey that we will walk on during the wedding preparations.

Finally, we can start doing our STD, WYB and stuff. One excited bride-to-be here. :)
