I am on a tight budget, but still I want to give something nice to guests on our engagement day. After a couple of months of browsing the Web + listing out my alternatives + striking all but one out of the list, which is...
D-I-Y Brown Paperbags!
(Sorry for the bad quality image. I need to get a digital camera, quick!)
I've re-engineered a few ideas found through Googling. I think it turned out quite well, don't you think? ;)
About the tag:
Malas nak cutout the 1st design so I came up with an alternative. Whoever wants to use these designs, do request the file from me (via the
Contact form) okay? =)
Well, here's the budget for one doorgift:
- Brown paper bags (Mydin || RM 3.20 / 100pcs)
= RM 0.032 / 1 pc
- Ribbons (had to buy an expensive one because of its rare color. Bought at a gift shop in Tropicana City Mall)
= RM 0.40 / 1 pc tied into a bow (approx.)
- Thank you tag printed on 230gsm Cardstock in white (yet to be bought)
= RM 0.10 / 1 pc of tag (approx. with printer ink)
TOTAL = RM 0.632 only
(Psssttt... I still haven't confirmed the goodies within. Maybe a RM 1.00 muffin. Yummyyy~)
I also bought Marvy Uchida 2 1/2" Scallop Punch (from
scrap-n-crop.com physical shop || RM 89.90), can be reused again and again..
P/S: Please buy your scrapbooking supply from
scrap-n-crop.com. Not only you'll get a far cheaper price than other craft shops, you get to help Bryant's family gain extra income to cover his medical expenses. You see, he's one of the many victims of medical-related recklessness. Brain-injured since birth (due to a doctor's absence during delivery), his family could never see him live like a normal child and doctors suspect that he would not live long. Razi and I almost cried hearing this. The fact that neither the doctor nor the hospital (which is one of the first-class hospitals in Malaysia) has any remorse towards what happened is just terrible! Siap cakap, "Sebelum ni ada kes macam ini tapi mereka tak kecoh pun!" Isk jahat...
