A New Date Is Decided!
For those that have been following this blog, you’d know that Al and I have postponed our wedding. In a way it was good as my dad had a really bad accident a month before the supposed wedding date.
Anyways, we’ve finally decided on a new date! It’s June 18, 2011! I’m so excited to get back into the wedding planning mode. There are a few changes right off the bat. First we’ve switched our restaurant. Instead of having it at the Victoria Chinese Restaurant in downtown, we’ll be having it at Fortune House Restaurant in Metrotown, Burnaby. The location is more central and there are tons of parking available. I’ll post more details later when we finalize the banquet contract. Another change which is not a surprise is our guest list. It’ve grown and looks a bit different than a year ago.
Al and I will be going back to Hong Kong in April. Originally we don’t plan on getting our wedding stuff there (we actually didn’t play to go back before the wedding). However, I thought since I’m heading back I might as well do some research on the wedding items there. If you have anything you’d like to find out from HK, I’d be glad to help you look it up if I have the time.
Lastly, I saw this cute 8-bit video game invitation a few days ago. Since I’m a gamer myself I thought this is such a unique and cute way of sending an invitation. Read about it here.
Wedding Proposal Using Light Writing
I was catching up on my RSS feed this week and came across this very cool wedding proposal that I thought you might be interested it. I don’t know too much of the technical details on how this was achieved but just the amount of time and effort spent can already make a girl’s heart melt! Watch the proposal video and read about the “behind the scene” here.

Handmade Wedding Invitations – 2009 Collection
I was finally able to get a hold of a camera to take photos of the handmade wedding invitations I’ve received this year. Both of handmade wedding invitations are really unique and hopefully can provide you with some inspirations! (Since I moved I no longer have a desk so I had to use the floor as the background.)
[The map is detachable and the RSVP card is behind it.]
[A close up on the flower. Very cute.]
[This is not handmade but printed in Hong Kong. Just thought I'd add it in here for ideas.]
What do you guys think? These design makes mine look so simple. Well now that I have more time to plan the wedding (apparently there are some changes…including a larger guest lists!) I just might get to redesign my cards.
