five weeks to crunch time

Some updates before the weekend hits :D

Posting of Invitation Cards

Posted out invitation cards to most of our dinner guests earlier this week! I still have one more batch left but haven't been able to find time after work to sit down and finish cutting and pasting the address labels on the envelopes. So kirakan aku nya posting ada sikit cacat ah, ada guests yang dah dapat cards, ada yang belum ah hahaha.

I do realize that the easier way is to write down the addresses but my handwriting is embarassing + I think labels look more proper! I also know that I could have printed them on sticker labels so I don't have to cut them up one by one but... I'm too lazy to go find out where and how to print on sticker labels lah okay. Haha. Actually told my mamat to do this too for consistency but he rebelled and wrote the addresses for his invites instead. Thanks eh budak gemuk.

Oh, and can you believe it - I did about 40 cards on Monday night and by the end of it, I was sprawled like a motionless dugong on my living room floor for about an hour? Dasar tak boleh buat kerja sikit! This is exactly why I don't trust myself with DIY tasks lah seriously. Baru kena potong and tampal address labels sikit je dah merengek.

Initially thought of doing something special for the envelopes jugak, like DIY envelope liners but decided it was too much work for something that people will rip off in the end. And again, aku dah start malas haha so we settled for cheap envelopes from bookshop belakang rumah je.

Oh, our guests have started tagging on to our official hashtag too, which is awesome!!! I previously mentioned my apprehension about using our wedding preparation hashtag as our official wedding hashtag but it turned out alright in the end - in fact, it's actually pretty heartwarming to see pictures of our wedding-related stuff from our guests' point of view :D

We're also starting to see a stream of RSVPs coming in to our inbox - here's one of the most annoying nak mampos RSVP we've received to date:

Ini lah the kind of penyangak friends I have eh. BAGUS.

(You see, our wedding website has all the necessary information for our guests so my smart aleck friend here is just trolling us by asking questions which she already knows the answers to, macam those suckers who suka tanya derp questions like "Where's this?" and "How much is this?" on Instagram and Facebook even though the location or price is already freaking tagged in the caption. Macam siak. Ni mesti nak balas dendam sebab aku punya wedding day is on her birthday lah tu SORRY LAH WOMAN TAK SENGAJA KAN)

First Fitting with Ishq By Nora Zee

My mat and I finally had our first fitting last night!!! 

To go for our first baju fitting 5 and a half weeks to the wedding is considered quite late since the standard period for fitting is usually 2 to 3 months prior to wedding date kan? But there wasn't really a need for us to cepat cepatkan our fitting because: 

(1) we had to wait for my KL piece to siap (the timeline to discuss, design and have it made was already tight because I only switched to Ishq By Nora Zee just before Ramadhan)

(2) we're the only couple for our date so no issue of other pengantins "choosing the better bajus"

(3) not that we have to "choose better bajus" anyway, since our bajus are tailored to fit :D

Okay, ni ada sikit preview from the testing testing:

Our MUA did his samping "sembarang sembarang" since it was only to help us see how it will feel like on actual day but her "sembarang sembarang" pun dah nampak tertib eh. Ape maksud.

And here's one of mine, sitting snugly inside its fabulous cover. Hehehe.

See you in November, sayang!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Or more specifically end October, since we'll have our final fitting then. So excitez!

My mat and I couldn't stop telling each other how happy we were with the colour, the feel and the look of our outfits and accessories on the way home - dua dua mabuk with excitezment! :D :D :D

Oh, there's something else that is also very excitez - dalam kesibukkan kita bersiap siap berriuh rendah for our wedding, tup tup tup painting works have started for our BTO seh!!!

Not sure how long the painting will take, though.

One of our future neighbours posted up these pictures on our BTO's Facebook page on 22nd September (Sunday) but Saliheen's friend who stays at the existing block beside our BTO site told us that the two levels were painted yellow on the Monday before 22nd and has remained that way since... so she speculated that "painting dah habis agaknye" HAHAHAHAHA BIADAB.
