We've been to a lot of bridal fairs, seen a lot of invitations, been to QP Designs, Printlane and inquired at Printed Matters but never did I checked our friendly neighborhood printing shop. Christian Nacional who operates Print Associates was my childhood kapitbahay and church mate.
I asked Irwin to take care of the invitation, he browsed through the internet, and seen this design of two kids holding hands and I do not know why he chose that. I was touched and pleased because of what was written in front.
Friends said that it was our mark, it was really personalized. It was really me and Irwin. We are not the conventional couple, we are hitting on our 30 years of age and still we feel like we are still children, a child. Maybe we are childish but that is how we are. And so the cover is very appropriate.
Invitation costs 60 each, laminated, with free layout, they do not really make wedding invitations by the bulk. If you want something that you see at Recto, they will have to ask Recto to make it for them. Designs came from us, the background pictures was an idea from his own wedding invitation which I copied.
He was easy to talk to and he was just two houses away, so every morning before I go to work, I checked the status of the invitations.
When you want to have your invitation done by them, be ready will all the materials, pictures, layout, designs etc. They made the invitation for two weeks, because they really do not make wedding invitations so in case na you get them, exclusive na sa inyo lang siguro ang gagawin nila.
Wish ko lang, sana mas makapal pa ang paper na ginamit, pero I was not able to see the final layout before they run it sa printing press. Ok lang sa akin yun, I trust him naman eh.
He was willing to share his ideas, wala na akong masasabi pa sa invitation ko. Maganda talaga siya at cheap pa.
For Print Associates, I gave them a 10++
