Our Stationery Suite

Making our own invitations pushed Adrin to learn creating designs and layouts in the computer. Before all these madness, both of us have zero skills and knowledge in that department. Because of pressure his perseverance, he was able to completely layout our invites and the other print outs we need for the wedding. Here, I show you the rest of our stationeries ready for printing.

Second Monogram

Tweet

Since I am not super satisfied with the first monogram I've created, I decided to create another one. After showing this to my family and Adrin, it seems that this is the preferred logo.

I'm still not sure whether we'll consider this as our final seal, since we're also getting a monogram as one of our freebies from our OTD, KTG Events. In any case, I'll surely keep you posted. :)

Cheers!

First Monogram

Tweet

Right after my immersion to wedding preps mode, I found out about all the stationery components of a wedding. All along I thought it’s just the invitation. Never did I imagine that there are sorts like (1) Will You Be cards, (2) Save the Date notes, (3) Monograms (4) Escort Cards and the like. Since we were leaning on actually DIY-ing our invitations, it’s just fitting that these other items will be completed the DIY way as well.

First project: THE monogram. Problem is Adrin and I do not have the techie knowledge or skills to beautifully craft our very own emblem. This led me to do research on tutorials and samples. I even tried looking for sites that will create it for me pro bono but to no avail. I started one in MS Powerpoint but had a hard time since I can’t find the right design that I want. Us not having a specific theme made it even harder. The result was a stocky and weird looking monogram without a clear depiction of the style it wants to achieve. Not very happy with the result, I left it at that and just told myself that I’ll get back to it another time.

And that time came this long holiday season. After looking for the nth time at some samples, I tinkered again with MS Powerpoint and came up with this.

This is the first decent monogram that I’ve created and is still subject for Adrin’s approval. I’m so happy with it and it inspires me to create a few others for more options.

Cheers!
