DIY: invite prototypes

I'm so tired from work but wedding preps is giving me a natural and unusual high so, I was able to make two prototypes for our DIY invites after work. My fiance sent me the layout for the main invite that we did so it's just a matter of me printing and assembling it into a nice pocket-fold invitation. 
materials from Binondo
I've read from w@w about this certain store that sells cheap paper products for invites and other wedding stationaries so I went last weekend. The store is called Techbros and it's located at #483 Yuchengco Street, Binondo. I bought a lot of stuff which cost me around a thousand bucks. Thanks to that metallic black paper that costs P91 a piece but aside from that, everything else was super affordable. Actually, even the metallic paper board is still very cheap as compared to the stationaries you find in the mall so overall, I really got the bang for my buck!

board papers for border and envelopes.
We still don't really know the specifics that we want for the invite. The size, border, envelope and how to actually execute it so I tried to print a sample and played with the two possible border/envelope that I've purchased in Binondo.

prototypes. i think i know which one will prevail
After half an hour or so, I was able to come up with two prototypes. I know for sure that we might still rework some of the details but these are ready for presentation with H2B later when I wake up. I have a feeling which one will he choose and I actually like that one too!!!

DIY: main invite

H2B and I finally finished designing our main invite! Woohoo!!! I so love it!!! And I'm so proud of it!
don't you think it suits our rock n roll theme?
I've scratched our surnames to keep our identities (as if our unique names doesn't give our identities away. haha!)

Lookie at our names, Ren & Glee - turn it upside down... it's ambigram!!! Those will also serve as our "monogram" since we both fell in love with it. We're actually getting a tattoo with it because we are so loving it!!!

More than a year before the wedding and our invites are already in the works. We don't plan on giving out save-the-date cards and we are DIYing our invites so we got to start early. Now, we have to figure out what the entourage card, map and directions and RSVP card would look like. We have ideas already but sometimes what you perceive can't be executed like you hope so - we have to give it our best efforts anyways at keep our fingers crossed.

Til our next post! :) Cheers to creativity and teamwork! :D
