Jasvy - printing wedding invitation cards

after much delay, finally went down to print the wedding invitation cards.... we wanted to do it earlier but my mama said we should not give out the invitation cards prior to Guo Da Li, so we withheld the printing... but the guo ga li date is so close to our wedding, where the hell do we have enough time to give out all the cards by then... so we decided to go ahead with the printing first....

for fairmont, the appointed printer is Jasvy Marketing Agency

the place is in between Kallang & boon keng mrt but i would prefer to go from Kallang since there is less transfer for me... you can either take a bus which i think is about 2 bus stops from kallang bus interchange or walk & we chose latter....is about a 15min walk if you do it leisurely.... cant remember which exit it is, but come out from the left, walk backwards & walk along the park connector till you reach the main road... walk along boon keng road & you will see kallang place at the junction... blk 30 is the block closest to the bus stop.... take lift to the 4th floor & turn left after you come out from the lift & turn in... Jasvy is at somewhere on the 3rd or 4th unit.... 

prior to going down, we try to get some review on jasvy & there arent much.... but we do notice afew saying that jason isnt very nice, very bo chap, ivy is nicer.... so i contacted ivy but we were greeted by jason.... i think i sort of roll eyes when i saw him due to the bad review but i kept my cool.....so actually if you are rushing or not so particular about the colour & all, you can just do everything via email cause jasvy will send you the template & insert via email... but kiasu me think that it is better & clearer to talk face to face so we went down.... 

fairmont card designs

insert templates

 so you can see that fairmont only has 5 card designs & i would say they are pretty simple & normal... since my mama say MUST use red so i only have 1 choice = red.... as for the inserts you can choose either white or pink paper... so naturally i chose pink cause mama say no white... *roll eyes* as for the wordings.. i think they are pretty standard but you can choose the 2 pictures on the inserts... 

like all hotels, the wedding package will include free cards for 70% of confirmed attendance...  at the moment we have approximately 24 tables so we are entitled to 168 cards & jason suggest us to print 10% more in case write wrongly or whatever... we took his suggestion... so each insert is at 20cent/piece... then the ribbon tying is additional 30cent/card... this 1 i am still considering, again cheapo me want to save $.... although 30cent doesnt seem like a lot of $, for 168 cards, it adds up to $50.40... not say a huge sum of $, but i can get like a roll of ribbons for afew bucks.... but probably i cant tie as nice as them la.... 

the whole discussion lasted like 15-20min.... i wont say jason is as horrible as what the reviews said but he certainly isnt a very patient person.... he does sound abit bo chap & give you the whatever lo feeling... but i think is still manageable since i will see him only twice = discussion & on collection date....

the cards + tying will take approximately 1 week so we are still way ahead of our wedding in Nov... BUT i really want to DIY the tying then i guess it is better for me to start early =)
