My Wedding - Church Favours

Did you enjoy the mini donuts that filled these take-out boxes?

Did the quotes that were specially chosen and put in each box speak to you and warm your heart?

I love how these church wedding favours turned out... especially since this gesture of gratitude is most often neglected or omitted at weddings.

My Wedding - Penholders

Matching penholders for the ang pow box to grace the reception table...

(These too are for sale together with the ang pow box. Personalised ribbon not included, sorry. )

My Wedding - Invitation Card

The first clue to the wedding theme... the wedding invitation card.

This card evolved from multiple prototypes and ideas throughout the months that could eventually become YOUR wedding invitation card... Just ask. :) I'm still bursting with ideas...

The wedding is over and I finally managed to squeeze out some time for myself to update the pictures of the 'handmayde' wedding items you've all been waiting for...

For starters, in a practice that is completely unique to Singaporeans - the 'handmayde' ang pow box...

With a slit large enough to fit most wedding cards as well. I get mildly peeved by ang pow boxes that don't fit even a DL sized card (for the uninitiated, that's about 10cm width) - money doesn't always have to come in the impersonal "quick-fix" little red packet.

For a one-off-use item like an ang pow box, I used material that was already lying around in the house. The flowers were the same ones my husband used to decorate the proposal venue. :)

This ang pow box is now for SALE! Or I could make you another in your favourite colour... :)
