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!

A wedding of grand proportions


This post is titled such because it's not often we get to do a wedding that's held in The Royal Chapel in Windsor Great Park in London. Just the location itself conjures up prim and proper English pleasantries!


An ornate baroque motif in green with touches of pink create a lovely stationery suite. We simply love the invitation, which comes with a map (one of the best we've done!), RSVP card, and information sheets.




There was a save-the-date prior to the event as well...in a matching design.

Palm trees and Beach destinations


Here's a sunny wedding in purple and yellow. The couple are a cheery bunch and they wanted a bright yellow theme to excite their guests for their destination wedding in Phuket.


They did matching placecards and menus which had quizzes on the back for their guests to play...


...and also had a cute leaf-shaped programme which doubled up as a fan to keep guests cool at their outdoor reception.

Shades of Purple


If you love purple, you'd really love these.


Purple invitations in different shades on white textured card, matched with a pale purple satin ribbon and pale purple envelopes.


One can imagine how beautiful the wedding would be like if it was shades of purple too!

Living your passion


We were approached to be interviewed by SPH for these articles in The New Paper and Sunday Times Recruit. It's a series about individuals who live and work their passion. This is definitely up our alley, having fun doing the things we love. Finances can be tight sometimes with inflation and increasing overheads, but things are worth it when customers are appreciative and happy with the work we give them.



We hope we can continue to be of service to you in years to come. Appreciate all the support we can get! :) (psst...tell all your friends about us, join us on Facebook to interact!)

Big Banquets – A Personal Experience

We’re seeing smaller weddings nowadays. But big banquets are still common, especially in Singapore where most Asian families are big, and having a big wedding sometimes signifies status and financial affluence. A big banquet, however, can pose a big challenge to your pocket. It poses many other challenges too, like logistics and seating arrangements… but that’s another story.

Having had a big wedding myself, I fully understand how any couple would panic over the costs of organising such a huge event. Here are some ideas I devised for my own wedding (and some after!) to achieve what I wanted at a budget-friendly price.

Seating Cards
Having a seating card for each and every one of your 500 guests would probably be unnecessary and excessive. Who knows if 3rd auntie or great uncle would suddenly change seats and join another table of relatives. Not to mention, 500 cards would cost more, and need more time to collate and organise. At my wedding, I had small strips of printed card stock with a message behind indicating table numbers. I didn’t want guests to forget their table numbers so when they arrived at reception, their table number was written on the card and they could keep it with them until they got seated. The printed cards could even double up as bookmarks if guests brought them home.
