Chinese Wedding Invitations

So... I really wanted my whimsical "Did it myself" invitation. Unfortunately, the parents set the record straight and I will be using these Chinese invitations. I really wanted to do it myself, but I will keep you posted if I do end up getting to use the ones that I made.

After a week full of defeat, my parents have nagged me enough to visit various Chinese Wedding Invitations. I have finally settled on full traditional Chinese wedding invitations. Gold and red. Can you guess which one I end up choosing?

"Double Happiness with attitude"

"Double Happiness in signature"

"Double Happiness formal as can be"

I honestly think these three invitations really define me. The Chinese "double happiness" are clearly smacked up front. Well, I have chosen #3. The one in melted in gold. It matched my "theme" =)

DIY Invitation

I decided to make my own Wedding Invitation.
After much conversation, I went home one day and was playing around with paint. My laptop being it's cheezy old crap-a-roo could not handle photoshop or any other fancy art studio workshops. Within a half hour of doodling around, I have completed something that I hope to use...

but I highly doubt I'd be able to use it because I just found out my parents want my invitations to be red and gold. Sigh, traditions.

I've really fallen in love with it. I really have.
