Mano po Ninang

Here's a sneak peak of our gifts to our Ninangs (Female Principal Sponsors). What's inside? Secret! You'll find out on our wedding day :))

For the Word of God

For what it's worth, we finally found the perfect vessel for our wedding Bible. (^_^)

Noel and I was actually planning on making our own Bible cover but have no idea on how to do it. But God is really great, He is always guiding us. Yesterday when we we're out looking for boxes to put our gifts to our Principal Sponsors we found this lovely book style box! Yehey! Hope our Bible bearer will like this (^_^)

the design definitely fits our theme

Let's have some tea

Since our wedding theme is centered on wine and tea elements, Noel and I have decided to have tea as our wedding favors. However, I found that boxes for these would cost more than the price of tea itself. So instead I decided to make our own way to wrap them. I stumbled on a site one day sharing steps on how to make tea bag sachets out of gift wrappers however I forgot to bookmark the website :(

So instead I made a trial and error tea bag sachets using bond papers and finally decided on how to make one. To make tea bag sachets we used these materials:

-Translucent, transparent or tracing paper
-scissors, stapler, puncher
-clear double sided tape
-ribbons

Here's the step-by-step procedures:

cut paper in half

put clear double sided tape on one edge before folding

 

fold it in three

fold it again in half and make one more fold leaving few centimeters from top

And after hours of cutting and pasting with Noel, here's the finished product:

By the way, I downloaded the tea tag from Wedding Style Guide's website. It's a free printable that I printed and manually cut with sharp scissors then Noel stapled it through the ends of the ribbons. We also printed the monograms made for us by Monogram Hub on sticker papers for the labels.

Gratitude is sweet

After long thought of how to show appreciation to our suppliers on our wedding day without getting us bankrupt ;) Noel and I have decided to buy assorted chocolates and wrapped them. I bought some fabrics and had it sewed by one of our tailor friends. Then I found some printable tags at www.ilovemstudio.com for the labels.

So here it is:

I manually wrote thank you notes behind the tags

sweets for our dream makers (^_^)

Cork of Art

After being hiatus for a while I'm back with updates on our wedding preps. On my previous post I shared our DIY wine cork table numbers. Pero the usual me di not get satisfied sa outcome nung first na gawa namin so I decided to make a new one.

I forgot to take pictures of the step-by-step procedures I did but more or less it's the same as the previous one. I just removed the use of carton letters and didn't cut the corks anymore. I hot glued all of them together. But prior to doing that, I already arranged the cork and planned on how it will stand and where to glue them. So here's the product:
