# FideLeon Wedding // Wedding Paper goods 喜帖

Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Hello!

Planning for a wedding is crazy but I really enjoyed planning and taking care of the little details for #FideLeonWedding but with my little crazy ideas for our wedding papergood aka 喜帖.

I have to give all my thanks to our designer James Chiam and our printers Splash Media for taking care of our every whim and all your patience through the many many changes on the designs before we settled for our perfect 喜帖!

The perfect day starts with a perfect 喜帖! That's the start of everything right?

We sent out a Save The Date about 3 months before 22 November to ask all our friends to keep their 22 Nov all for us! I wanted a postcard for a more casual feel for the save the dates, we featured the rough details and a verse of our march in song, At Last - Etta James.

The floral details were drawn by James as well, love it! We used this off white, cream paper for all the papergood thou for a vintage-y look, haha but it looks like white in the shots somehow.

For the 喜帖, James did a custom illustration of us hehe we sent him photos of the gown and suit we have pick out and he drew our bride + groom illustration wearing exactly what we will be marching in with.

I ordered a custom wax seal and the wax sticks from gmarket and customized return address stamps on etsy!

Splash Media also printed these envelope liners with really high quality stickers and inserted + stuck them on one by one, these envelope liners with our engagement + pre-wedding shots and many of our friends told us it was so nice that they can't bear to throw them away so they kept it as a keepsake! (:

Haha had to trouble Splash Media to help me print a waterproof sticker for my car decor because i ordered it from Taobao and blur me, I put the date as 22 September 2014 when i should be 22 November 2014!! Hahahaha oh gosh silly willy me!

Tealy, which is a local teashop was such a sweetheart to sponsor us with these lovely tea pyramids as our wedding favors! (We picked crytal pens and these adorable mugs as wedding favors too which was from the hotel) James designed the sticker with our Bride + Groom illustrations, isn't it adorable? Splash Media printed it on really good quality stickers so it was really easy for us to stick them on!

I was thinking that we didn't want to be the kind of couple to didn't interact with our guest but we probably don't have the chance to even if we wanted to so we decided to entertain our guest by sharing with them some silly stories of us!

So for our customized menu/thank you note we also included a section where we talked about our "silly stories" and there was 7 versions of them, so everybody on the table will have a different "story" and I was thinking that might get them laughing and checking out the stories of the person next to them and hopefully get them talking so it wouldn't be such a dull evening for them too!
