52 days before the wedding
as posted on our wedsite: http://chrisandivy.weddingannouncer.com
grabe, kailangan ko pang mag day-off para lang makapag-update dito :) here goes:
may wedding invites na kami!!!!! and it's pretty!!!! it's classy and something we can really be proud of. i love our invites and some people who've seen it already agrees as well. at least our hard work paid off. kudos to chris for the concept and design. he's really the man (and he's my man!) behind all the artwork for the wedding. and kudos to The Write Impression for a job well done. all invites are being taken cared of our coordinator as of the moment. the map to be inserted is still in production but the thank you cards have also been delivered as well.
other things we were able to accomplish to-date:
tablemarkers - all 25 pieces, all ready for printing
guest sheets - finalized design, 250 pieces to be printed in the phils
misalette - done with proofreading, 85 pieces to be printed in dubai
wedding bells - my mom was able to buy the bells already, finalized design of tags, to be printed in the phils
entourage dinner invites - done with design, waiting for directional map to venue and will send out (hopefully we can email the e-invite) next week
guest list - it's all been sent to our coordinator; printing of names on envelope on saturday; to be distrinbuted starting next week.
photos for AVP - compiled and will give to ruth (i love you ruth) who's leaving for manila on saturday; she'll drop by decisive moments and she'll give it to them
photos for photo mosaic - almost ready; just waiting for prenup shoot photos which is yet to happen in january.
schedule of prenup shoots: jan 4 (with mel cortez) and jan 5 (with kix tavora)
wedding ring design - we chose a very simple wedding band and we have given the design to our ninang/tita edith
caketopper look-a-like - delivered already :) and it really look like us hehehe
so many details but at least, we're slowly getting there.
with all the wedding preps, going home preps and honeymoon preps (not to mention that i still have work), it's all becoming stressful most times. i took a break from work today because i felt like i won't be able to function well for the rest of the week if i don't rest. this week is just too hectic for me.
and that's why most paperwork for the wedding i was able to do today.
and what's great about today was that i was able to talk with my wedding coordinator, angel, on the phone. thank god she was at the office when i called. we were finally able to tie some loose ends. and talking to her took my wedding preps stress away because she discussed with me some details she planned for the wedding.
here are some things she discussed that made me soooo glad i got her as my wedding coordinator:
- she had pink cocktail dresses made for her team so that on our wedding they're insync with my color motiff
- she will book our jan 5 prenup shoot at mmldc for a discounted price
- she will make our reception venue look fabulous the way i want it
- she and her team will devote their two weeks before jan 20 to our wedding alone. the last wedding they will handle before our wedding is on jan 6, after that, they will be devoted to us
- she has plans of getting our wedding published in a wedding magazine (keeping fingers crossed, if this happens, this will definitely be the biggest bonus to us ever)
one realization i have now that we're nearing the wedding date is that it's such a big help to the couple if they have chosen the right people to help them in the execution of their wedding plan. of course, there are no perfect suppliers, but what is important is that you get suppliers that really care about your wedding and those ones that are easy to get along with to the point that working with them is like working with a friend. i swear, just thinking about working with my wedding team excites me, knowing that we will be surrounded by people who have worked hard for our wedding and loves us as well.
