A moment captured


A couple requested for their photo to be incorporated into their Thank You cards. We used the monogram that was on their invitations and integrated the design with their photo. Simple and sophisticated.

Do note we charge a small fee to touch up and enhance photographs for use on invitations etc.

Thermal Embossing


Whilst we don't feel that printing effects are truly needed to enhance the design of an invitation, this one here is something that would definitely impress and not in an over the top manner.


Subtle and sleek, thermal embossing involves having raised text in the colour that your invitation is printed in.


Printing effects like hotstamping and embossing are very traditional and common, so thermal embossing could be an option for you should you wish to add a unique touch to your invitations.

They require a minimum of 100 invitations, do email us for details.

A suite of blossoms


We've done our cherry blossom design for many couples, but what we love about this one is the cohesiveness of all the various items in the set, matched together perfectly.

There was an invitation, a reception card, and an info card with map.


We did a nice map with simple lines and markings. It's perfect for many directions in places like the UK.

Radiating in the Summer


Here's a perennial favourite - the "radiating" motif - in a yellow and a lime green colour scheme. Both exude summer warmth and excitement.

Lovebirds


We recently did these invitations featuring birds.


These are from our newest collection, and these couples had completely different colour schemes for the design. Both looked great!


Whilst the yellow and brown version is sunny and cheery, this navy and pink one is sweet and spring-like.


The adorable bird couple was matched by lovely calligraphed names.

Rabbit year weddings


It's the year of the rabbit on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and many couples have taken a liking to our cute little rabbit motifs.


A simple floral plant is paired with two rabbits in green and yellow, creating a lively garden atmosphere.


This one here exudes a mystical, magical feel with a rabbit and a cat.


Bright blue and pink adds to the feel.


What do you think of bunnies on wedding invitations?

My babies' first-month gift pack


I love making beautiful gift boxes for baby first-month celebrations, so when it came to doing my own babies' celebration, I had a great time designing and producing these precious things.


Every box came with a little card with their photo and birth details. I included a few adorable animals like giraffe and bird - just because I like them - and two baby bunnies as my babies are born in the year of the rabbit.


Good friend awwesomepossum baked gorgeous chocolate and strawberry cupcakes...


...and these were included in the box with red eggs and traditional ang ku kueh. I had no time to individually wrap the red eggs, and decided on little rabbit stickers to enhance them.


At the back, we included a short thank you note to our guests.

If you would like a gift box for your party or baby first-month celebration, do drop us an email, and we'd try our best to assist you. :)

Navy & Pink


We've been loving this colour combination for some time...but nobody's been adventurous enough to try it! Until these couples came by and gamely asked for them.


There's this one with a lovely oriental pattern in navy and pink.


This one comes in a coral pink baroque pattern with navy monogram.


Elegant and sophisticated, yet with a touch of whimsy.


There's also this one with a purplish-blue and pink border...


...and matching purplish-pink orchids.


We are so very happy to try new things like these!
