invitation-happy

work has been crazy, and immigration requirements even more screwed up. the canadian embassy sent me a letter asking for my original thai police certificate - which i had already submitted one week prior to their letter. after 2.5 weeks of sending the embassy letters to explain that i had already submitted it together with the other documents they required - i never got an answer.

so no choice but to go to round 2. it's the fingerprint card - thai embassy authentication - send to bangkok - get a thai police clearance route all over again. sheesh. when will this ever end.

but i've still managed to squeeze in our wedding invitations.

The Write Impression is worth every peso they charge. Jong was able to give me the envelopes a few days ahead of time, and when i saw the invitations, i was pretty excited to give them out.

it only took Mang Lincoln one day to finish 110 envelopes - thanks to the big rally in Ayala. although hand calligraphy is extra hassle versus printing out the names using a laser printer, i think they're worth it. haha or maybe that's just me being a purist.

out of all the invitations i'll be giving out, i wonder just how many people will bother to read the poem printed on the vellum wrap, or even read the RSVP (moreso reply to it) card. then again, that'd be a perfect trivia question for our reception... the person who can guess who and where the poem came from wins something! =)

invites - check. bahala na how i'll distribute all of them without aldo here.

now on to the even more gruesome task of producing the AVP!
