We're not having gate crash too. I have 1 bridesmaid to help out/for consulting coz she helped with a few of her friends' and relatives' wedding before so she knows better what to do, then our 2 sisters to do ushering/directing people on AD. Whether to do gatecrashing or not is up to u and your htb's preference, don't worry about how everyone does it and that it means you def need to do it :)

No gatecrash, but will have a good friend to assist me on that day. I have no sisters. :(
And insisting HTB to get someone to assist too. If not, "not balanced" :p

Hi ladies, I am planning not to have gate crashing and sisters for actual day. As I want all my friends to enjoy on that day instead of tiring themselves out.
However, I have a wedding photographer on that day and I do hope to have a morning highlights (as in pictures slides). Will it be boring to have morning highlights without gate crashing?

I'm also not intending to do gatecrash. My bf said it will be too rushed if we need to do a luncheon and tea ceremony.

My tea cermony will be done after the luncheon.

Just wondering if you ladies have any activities like gift exchanges done in replacement of the gate crashing?

Me too !! no gate crash becos I wan HTB to feel happy and relax on e day of wedding, Im planning to do a staycation at hotel with the girls/sisters that's all.
 
Hi, if we skip the gatecrash, do we still need our brothers and sisters around during the morning? And will it be boring for the morning highlights?

Most likely I be skipping the gatecrash (plus the entire morning session - pick up bride, etc) and wouldn't need the JM/XD ard in the morning. Will meet straight in the hotel instead.

Me too! Mine is a wedding lunch. Just gonna stay at the hotel the night prior (I'd requested for an extra night stay) then if really wanna do gate crash just do a mini one at hotel. Everything including tea ceremony and solemnisation will be held at the hotel. I won't even need a bridal car or the whole convoy. heh. Planning to do a pre Wed video instead. But that would be more expensive to make...

Having a pre-wed sounds like a betta idea.
Everything do in hotel, save on bridal car, morning segment expenses (ie. buffet/snacks for relatives coming over), etc. Then spend it on pre-wed video.

I be staying a day prior too cos mine is rom follow by lunch. Was thinking not to haf the wedding car too cos it seems redundant.

So we use the $ for wedding car to shoot a pre wedding video instead.

Yup good pre-wed shoot videos (like with Wedding Paparazzi) costs at least $2,500 and up. But the works are really creative.

Actually for bridal cars, you can always use your/ fiancé's own car, or if not a friend who is willing to lend his swanky car to you and drive you around. Afterall, your friend would be happy for you and they can feel assured if their car is not left to anyone else to drive. My 2cents worth.

After the lunch... May I ask why you'd prefer the tea ceremony to be after the lunch? That would mean the relatives (elders) will have to wait until after the banquet right? Actually I'm also distraught on when the tea ceremony should be for my wedding lunch. Usually when people are done with eating they would want to take photos with the couple. I felt like it may not be very nice to keep the elders waiting. Still deciding. But if do tea ceremony before the wedding lunch people might be late. and our initial plan was that the bride and groom should meet at the walking down of the aisle...
Gift exchange accompanied by a card or letter would be excellent! I see a lot of western couples doing that. Good to include in the video if you have one

Mine was a lunch. No gatecrash, no brothers/sisters, no morning highlight, childhood montage , no walk ins whatsoever. I got 2 of my good friends to help out with the decor and reception table. My husband and I went straight to the hotel in the morning on our own for hair and make up and our relatives came to our hotel room for tea ceremony and thereafter proceed straight for lunch. Everything was done in 8 hours :)

I am thinking whether to have gatecrush or not.. however, I have engage Both pg & vg.. if I dun have gatecrush, was wondering what will the vg filmed And also what to show on 2nd March in..... any advise?

Maybe can get your vg to film the make up and getting dressed part. Prepare some questions that you and the groom can answer to. E.g. How are you feeling now? Etc questions that evoke emotions of what led to your big day and such. Maybe some words from the parents, siblings, close friends (let them know beforehand so they can prepare what to say before being filmed), and the solemnisation?

Hi, my htb and I are planning to do exactly the same thing as you! No gatecrash, no fetch bride, no march-in and even gonna skip giving speech. We will stay in hotel the night before. So it will just be tea ceremony and lunch. We’ve already done solemnisation last year. Did you engage photography and videography during your wedding?
