Initially, we had to refuse this order since we already got too much on our hands, but the bride was so nice and bubbly, we decided to squeeze it in. besides, we always wanted to do a "tinghun" or "chinese engagement" invite.
To sum up what a tinghun is... It is where the bride announces to her clan that she is "engaged" through a tea ceremony. It starts off with the bride walking backwards. The husband to be's family brings in the goodies ( thats the dowry) for the bride to be and then they all eat misua and eggs and tea and angchio together.
The main challenge was to make it "chinesey" without making it well..too "chinesey". If you are chinese.... and are familiar with those tacky red and gold invites with the fu sign, you would know what we mean..
Here we tried to make it modern luxe by adding this floral print border...as inspired by Shangrila's condo interiors.
