The reason why gatecrashing may be unfavourable is because of past bad examples whereby some jie meis may be too extreme or went overboard with the limits and some of these gatecrashing sessions may also run overtime because the jie meis don't want to relent so easily.. This is where...

Ah well... I suppose it'll be up to your siblings when it's their turn to get married then to make the call whether to invite these guests or not... ;)

Yes, it will always be a learning process.. Even for couples who've known each other for a long time, there will always be new things that they learn about one another once they get married.. So enjoy the ride when you both learn more about each other after the wedding and learn to accept the...

LOL!! Haha yes, economy keeps changing and we're aware of how the banquet prices keep inflating year after year so of course we'll also inflate our givings based on our calculations as well as what we've tabulated.. Some of our guests couldn't make it for the banquet but came for the...

That kind of family that you described is not rare to come by. Such families are common - they're always trying to compensate for what they lack. Since this family lacks money, they try to compensate for it by buying and showing off their jewellery, branded goods and frequent holidays. They try...

While we may want to save money, we should also be aware if we may be doing that at the expense of something else. For us, we didn't invite cousins' bf/gf but for those who are married, of course their spouses were invited along. That said, one of the cousins requested if he could bring his gf...

Ideally, a couple should stay together after the wedding.. This is all the more so in the initial stage where both parties are learning and adapting to one another as husband and wife instead of boyfriend and girlfriend - there are stark differences between the two. But of course, due to...

There's no hard and fast rules for this.. It may also vary if you personally know your solemnizer. Ours wasn't a JP but an elder from our church - can't remember the exact figure we gifted to him but I think it was somewhere around $150. He attended the post-solemnization buffet lunch and we...

I believe you have already thought through some of the points yourself.. Correct me if I'm wrong but your main concern here is financials itself right? Would it make a significant difference in terms of financial strain if you and your fiancé hold the banquet before your HDB's completed? If you...

What kind of a situation are you in? Maybe if you can share with us a little, we can better put ourselves in your shoes and suggest/advise accordingly.. ;)

Depends on both you and your fiance' schedules as well as the PG's availability.. You want to give the PG sufficient time to process the photos and you'll also need enough time to select photos, design and process the album.. Of course, if you're planning to use the photo in the invitation card...

You're welcome! ;)

This was the timeline for our banquet - we managed to stick quite closely to it: 3.30pm: Arrive and check-in at hotel 4.00pm: Bridal make-up and hairstyling 5.00pm: Briefing by banquet manager with groom, coordinators and emcees 5.30pm: PG/VG to arrive 6.15pm:Reception helpers to arrive and...

Haha no worries.. I've been a BTB myself before and knows how much work and stress goes into wedding prep so just trying to help out the BTBs here in this forum.. ;)

You're welcome! ;)

Different vendors define their timing differently so make very sure you clarify with them beforehand so you can avoid any disagreement in the future. My PG/VG's package was for unlimited whole day which meant from the start of the morning during prep till the end of the banquet. Prior to the AD...

I'm sorry to hear what happened to your friend. When was this? I know that Sito recently was called for NS reservist duty so maybe that's why he couldn't make it. Not sure about Advin though.. Yes, Advin is a freelancer and he can't really be an in-house VG for iSnap as he actually lives in...

When's your AD? Maybe it's coz the date's a peak season date so every room counts for them... Can slowly and gently try to negotiate with them on this aspect again and see how it goes... For your info, this doesn't just apply to boutique hotels but many standard hotels as well - we've had quite...

No, it's not difficult to DIY your album - you just do it online via their website's software.. We originally opted for express delivery where we should expect the album to arrive within 1 week but it came in 2-3 days' time!! If we knew earlier, we would have just opted for normal delivery...

It depends on how you negotiate with them. The helper's room was supposed to be checked out at 8pm on the same night of the banquet but we reasoned with them to extend the hours since there would still be changing of gown for the second march-in. We only requested for an extra few hours but they...
