hmm!!! one design.. i think have to print direct to the wedding cards (unless T&T can suggest some nice design for me to compare)..

ANyway... my final decision should be two design cards onli... one for just insert all English... e other cards, both eng and chinese (the usual type).

oic, Fish...then i tik u have to ask T&T if they can treat ur printings as 1 design and charge the usual of 1st 100 pcs for RM60 liao...if not, i tik urs will be treated as 2 diff jobs...

shermaine, remember to get ur monogram in Adobe Illustrator format which is the only format tat T&T accepts for self-designed cards

Grace Lourdes - With regards to your Q about the glue to stick the insert. It's the lady from the shop who sugg to my GF. She said though it looks nice to tie gold thread to the card, it's very tedious.. and that's why she sugg to glue them... It's faster and less complicated (dun have to cut the threads) Hehehe..

Have seen my GF's invitation card.. Looks presentable and neat.. I cannot imagine tieing knots for 200++ cards.. will faint..

shermaine lim - I saw T&T has a list of Singapore Hotel (wz maps). However, it's not a full list of Hotels. Better play safe, bring along one juz in case they don't have. Oso, some Hotels actually changed names. U have to highlight to the printer.

Further info to the gold thread, a pkt is RM20.. U have to measure and cut to your desire length to tie insert to card. A pkt can tie 100+- cards depend how big/long is your card

You can request them to do hot-stamping. However, the price mentioned previously are meant for normal printing on inserts (normal colour paper).. Different paper(tracing paper) prices varies too.. I don't have the price for that... sorry...

ixoral - 3 months is enough.. The printer will do up a sample for U on the spot.. It took them 1 week to complete printing (base on my friend experience 300 invites)..

Remember, if you are printing chinese character, please get the word/name (Bi Hua) correct..

fish hu: thought the no. of cards given by the hotel card supplier is based on your entitlement x no. of confirmed tables in the contract? Say 25tables x 80% entitlement = 200 cards

Do u mean u were able to request for 10% more cards from your hotel?

benbenfish

New Member
yup.. i request 10% more... and luckly the hotel agree to give! u may want to check with them?
i'm going T&T later. shall let u gals know how is their service and so on.

Wow, Fish's hotel so good can give extra 10%...

ixoral - Your Hotel give U 80% ah... oso very good.. mine only give 70%...

The inserts are printed in a block of 100pcs... I personally feel should print more juz in case (buffer in case write wrongly)....

ixoral - If based on your calculation (25tables x 80% entitlement = 200 cards), will have difficulties to print extra leh... Unless heng heng U have alot of couples & family attending. Eg: 1 card = 2 or more person..... So that no need to waste $ for extra cards & inserts

fish hu: wow so good! maybe cos u have alot of tables?

iris: thanks for the advice of prining extra. that's a v gd tip which i didnt think of. oh i didnt know T&T only print inserts in block of 100s huh? hmm i shall see how then. but ya like u said, it boils down to tallying how many ppl to how many cards..hopefully got more 2:1 or >4:1 (family)

Exactly on the "cartoons" part.... it's FOC... in Singapore, every cartoon got to pay..Chum ahhhhh....

Call me cheap-skate... but I don't see it's necessary to "invest" so much on a piece of paper that will be thrown away ultimately.. Heheheee

Wedding already cost a "bomb" le.. must scrimp from different ways

Hi Vt

I printed mine on A6 (postcard size), 2 sided with our wedding pic at the front, a bouquet of tulip at the back with wordings ..Paper is those with a little shiny. T&T charge me RM154 for 200 copies...RM154=$64 (based on 2.4).

I dun think they charge by number of colours. Happen to see their price. They charge by 1 side page colour. e.g. Mine with me colour + colour...cos 2 sided

You can call and look for Shirley. She is very good. There is a malay guy there too, also very helpful. I was not pleased with the sample printout on my church wedding card, cos a friend of mine the designed my card had reduce the resolution of my pic.

They let me access my hotmail thru their pc and I retrieved my original pic from there. The Malay guy helped me to copy and paste and do touch up of my card, then printed for me again and cut so tat i could show my future in laws.

I also changed abt 7 times on my dinner inserts too cos never spot the mistakes each time. lol..
But they never give me black face.

Hi Vt

forget to add. The original price for printing the postcard was RM134 cos I have pic on the card so they add RM20 more for the overall printing.

But still cheap lor as compare to the shops at Bras Basah. Rude and expensive. I knocked on every door at Bras Basah. The price was abt $0.60 - $0.80 per pc

strawberry> thanks so much for sharing your experience. Can I ask if they can print out the sample on the spot? Does that mean that you went back to T&T many times becos of the numerous changes? One more qn (apologies for the numerous queries), is it advisable for me to call Shirley first before I go down to their shop?

strawberry> i forgot to mention earlier. I'm also getting a friend to design the church invite for me, with my wedding photo in front as well so very similar to yours. What program do they use to open your card design btw?

Hi vt

Nah, no worries. Glad that I could help you one or in another way....

ya, they will definitely print a sample for you. for it will take abt 1hr for the sample. Then, when you are happy with the printing, they will let you signed on the sample to confirm the artwork.

To call Shirley in advance? I dont think its necessary lor. Just go down and meet face-to-face is better cos can talk and discuss. You still need to go down to see your sample.

I saved my design in PDF and brought my thumbdrive along.

Shirley called me last evening and told my cards are ready for collection le. May go down tonight or tomorrow to collect. Yippe

Hi Fish,

I just came back from T&T last night...

Indeed, their service quality is good..

They did the layout for us to view and allow us to edit and change on the spot...

I think I change and edit on the spot for 4 times and they gladly do it...

They do not have hot stamping...they only print the insert...

There is another store on the same floor that do hot stamping, but we decided to do the inserts as we do know how the hot stamping will look like..hope this info is helpful

Hi Bryce,

Thanks for ur info.
As the card shape we choose is not square or rectangle, is tough for printing insert, that's y we look for hot stamping. do u knw the other store shop name? which floor at city square?

Hi Fish,

Think the other store is called Nagamas...

It is directly opposite T&T, across at the other side on that floor...

They are both at Level 4...

Bryce,

U went yesterday nite? I also went yesterday night to collect my cards. Ya T&T service is not bad. You can even call them to change ideas when u are back in Singapore and email them the changes. They will amend it and send back the amended copy for you to approve before they go ahead with the printing. A good service from them.

Fish,
There are some bad comments about Nagamas from the forummers here. You can browse the forum for more details.
