DIY Invite

Another trip to Divisoria with Inaki and my sister. We went to buy school supplies for our invites. We parked at Tutuban Center, and walked a few blocks to Yangco market.

Inaki was hopping from stall to stall along Ylaya St. In one of the stalls, we bought a roll of gold chiffon ribbon, a sheet of dark red sinimay paper (think the size of 2.5 cartolinas), and a pack of red fans (Php50/six pieces). Total cost for this: Php210.00.

After asking around, we found ourselves in George's School Supplies, where we bought ten sheets of thin (somewhat) corrugated board paper (again, the size of a cartolina), and six packs of parchment paper. Total cost: Php230. (Inaki also bought two large rolls of duct tape.)

Basically, our idea is to come up with invites similar to this:


I like this: it's offbeat, unique, and best of all, very cheap! :D
