Of Necks and Ties

This afternoon, I got a small package waiting for me in my letter box. A quick scan showed it was from the US, so I already knew what it had inside.

It was the orange gingham ties for boys I ordered from Etsy's. Here is the boy's tie together with the ties to be used by the groomsmen and secondary sponsors.

DIY Project #2: Wine Glass Charms

After more than almost 2 months of inactivity...

Here is another DIY project that Yeng and I are making in preparation for our wedding: Wine glass charms!

They're really easy to make, all we needed were beads (we used assorted orange, blue and white glass beads, and alphabet beads), memory wire, and super glue. For tools, a wire cutter was needed to cut the memory wire.

We wouldn't think of doing this for 200 guests, but having only 60 guests made it manageable.

Hopefully, these personalized charms can take the place of the usual escort cards for guests to locate their seats (if they are readable enough) and they can double as souvenirs as well. But more than just being ornamental, we hope that they're functional as well. How many times have you asked the person seating beside you to check which of the drinks in between the two of you belonged to you and which one was his? If you're as absent minded as me, then the answer is EVERYTIME.

1 month and 2 weeks and 6 days to go!
