The first invites

Well, the church invitations have been printed and delivered to me (yesterday 27/05/03). The printer couldn't do a particular method of embossing that I wanted so I settled for silver as a fifth color in addition to four-color printing.

They look great! Enrico, my artist friend who has recently moved back to Belgium, painted a lovely mallorn leaf which I used as a motif. The image turned out better than I expected.

I have to be thankful that my contact at the printer, Pixel Tech, is a terribly nice lady who gave me an even nicer discount. When Dolly came to meet me, she looked at my invitation draft and asked if I was Catholic. Turns out she's Catholic too, so our first meeting was spent talking mostly about churches in Singapore and Father Ambrose (the wonderful priest at my Engaged Encounter weekend). We did get round to discussing the print specs eventually.

Now I'm just waiting for the banquet invitations to be ready, and then I'll get cracking on that guest list!
