I don't think I've done this much for the wedding till today.
Hantaran giftsPurchased some items for the hantaran gifts this morning. Mak sponsored The Book & a nice wooden box for it. Lovely.
After much nagging about me being unable to sew curtains (plus a lot more), strangely, Mak offered to sew a nice set of new curtains for my room. She sponsored that too :) (What luck?! Syukur!)
I bought him a prayer mat. I sms-ed to ask what colour he'd like, but he didn't reply. Chose the blue & beige one instead of the red & blue one. The feeling I got, when his late reply came after I had purchased the sejadah was priceless. Sms read : Beige & blue, and a bit carpety. Alhamdulillah, I'd hit the nail on the spot!
CardlinkLater in the evening, we went to Cardlink & surveyed the cards. $0.75 per card for 250 cards. $0.60 for orders above 500. (Mental note: If we send out 300 cards, it'd be $225 just for the cards). If we combine the orders, it'd be ($0.60 X 600 + $30) $390 for both of us, divided by 2 (about $195).
Gift tokens (berkats)Still undecided whether we want to give eggs (hmmm, traditional symbol of fertility....OOooohh) or chocolates (can't imagine the tedious job of wrapping the chocos).
But I think I've got my mind (& heart) set on the baskets I wanna use. They're so lovely. At $1.70 a piece (contents not included), they're quite expensive. I hope people won't just throw them away like rubbish, coz they are indeed precious baskets, hand made out of natural materials.
Overall, I think I've had a fruitful day. Alhamdulillah :)
Now for tomorrow....
