娶嫁

Finally got our wedding cards on the 12 Nov from the printer (tDragon) after 3 LOOOONG weeks.


The process
After choosing the card design that we want from the hotel, we proceed to go to tdragon on the 23rd Oct 09 to discuss on the wordings... Well actually our appt with them is on the 26th Oct but we adhocly decided to go take a look at the shop on the 23rd Oct and surprise surprise it was still open after 9p.m. and the lady just welcomed us in to discuss on the designs. The lady who attended to us was not very friendly. Kind of impatient I think. Hmmph.

Customization

  • material: We get to choose whether to print on paper (opaque or translucent) or directly on the card. card printing can come in gold or copper. Paper printing has also 'brown' color wordings.
  • wordings: our names, additional words to put, traditional/simplified chinese
  • icons: cute small pics to put in the card costing 10$ per piece
  • Font: yeah, just font


Then we were told to wait for 2 weeks before the artist come back to us on the design template again to confirm on the wordings. The initial drafts didn't come out too well with error in the icons, wordings and even layout, sighhh... Had to chase chase chase to get the changes done promptly.

At card collection we had to count to ensure that we have all our 180 cards. Not difficult but tedious. That impatient lady attended to us again. There was this 1 card that was meant to be a sample taken out of the pack prepared for us. I jus asked whether the sample is part of the 180 cards cos it looks crumpled. That lady then jus commented that we opened to look at it and therefore it look crumpled. What the?!

The final product
