Good morning gals,
Have an agruement with my hubby last night. Becos he told me he was thinking to do whatever "Work Scope" that his mother supposed to do on behalf, including preparing ang bao for her to distribute. I was so mad
why being kind till this extend? I will have to pay both side's buffet, prepare some drinks and of course need to buy some cakes for actual day breakfast for him. I believe most of you all need to worry abt all this and yet his mother sitting there everyday to watch TV and shake leg
. She is staying at home whole day whole night and do nothing, can't she help a bit. And now, have to use our saving to pack ang bao for her, how can I don angry?
She didn't contribute anything, don even bother to ask us whether need help or need her to do anything.
Can imagine how to stay with her together but quite sure that she has spoilt the relationship from here. How to deal with her huh??
We have run out the budget, still haven't paid our air tickets and the $1000 I changed for ang bao is not enough now, need to change another $400 to pack ang bao.

Cherly,
Sad too hear that, perhaps u can have a good talk with your hubby, urge him to talk to his mother & get her to do what she's suppose to do! She cant be sitting there & shake legs, so unfair to u & your hubby!!
Dun think so much nor be angry, not worth it!! Dun let her cause both of u to quarrel!
Stay happy & be a happy bride!!

i think it's alrite if ur hubby "bao" the angpows on behalf of ur IL. for my case, hubby will be preparing the angpows for his side, half of the si dian jin (i only got a diamond pendant from my MIL, ring is my own, so he buying me the earrings & bracelet), GDL stuff, & everything else.. imagine we still hv the hse reno & furnishing..
for my side, i'll also be paying for my own dowry, buy gold necklace for my younger brother (it's said that elder siblings muz leave buy some gold for younger siblings), big angpow for my brother during tea ceremony, prepare my (mum) share of angpows, & also not forgetting those our own share (to give to helpers, etc)
basically, the 2 of us are paying for EVERYTHING, except the diamond pendant & the gold necklace my mum is going to get me.. but then, i prob will "subsidize" her with the angpow i suppose to give her
<FONT COLOR="0000ff">btw, we hvn't even book our honeymoon (be it short or long) cos now we dun even noe how much will we be left after all expenses... so now dun even dare go book.. then hor, for our new home, also a lot of furniture still KIV cos no $$ to buy!</FONT>

starfruit, did u get my sms?? I haven't decided how many bottles... u preparing how many??
cherly... i haven't packed angpow yet... aiyah... if ur hubby want to pack for her... let him lor... u just wash ur hands off the matter from here onwards...
for my case, i was pretty angry when my hubby wanted to pay for all the losses borne by his parents... even when his savings is now running very very low... and i felt they could jolly well afford the losses... so now, I dun care how he's going to deal with the $$ stuff... when his savings is dry, I'm sure he'll still come back to me to discuss the problem...
so just leave it as it is... and dun stress urself... oke?? also, the angpows on actual days oso throw to ur hubby to pack... u should not be the one coming out with the $$ in the first place... wait he desperate leow then will beg ur help!!

cherly, don't get mad.. u get more angry lines, and pimples, not "mei mei"... I also have the problem since my MIL said "she dun know to everything". Like you I have run out of funds, have not pay contractor and many other bills, so I cut down on the amount on the ang pao. Instead of $12, I give $8. If friends thinks I am stingy, its just too bad, at least I get to see who is the REAL friend and who is the "zhu peng gou you".

Hi all,
Seems like alot of things to do.
And I seems so free leh. A bit worry now.
May I know how much hongbao should we give to our helpers? My mother says she is giving so we don't need to give. Then what abt drivers, makeup artist, photo and video grapher?
Think got to prepare different hongbao for different people if not will mix up.

hi joanne,
Nope, not too late yet
U should start to choose your card design now bcos u will need some time to go through the draft to check for errors. T-dragon or Hi-tech will have the cards ready by a few days after u confirm with them.
I have gotten my cards now but it is still too early to send out. Hope that helps.

dear all,
i'm oso a dec bride(15 dec). Can I know when will the parents discuss on the number of tables for the brides family etc.. ? Or should it be already dicussed. My MIL say they will do the ti-ching on last week on nov and send the cakes in early 1st week of Dec... it is too late.
In fact, my parents are not too happy cos it seem that everything is left to the last minute... my MIL - own-time-own-target....
How?

Hi Strawberry,
Welcome back. Everyone misses you so much. Well, I haven't got the things yet, nothing much to buy lah..maybe buy in Dec. Anyway, my wedding end of Dec, so got lots of time.
Hi Berypig,
What jiazhuang did you buy? And which cakeshop did you order your cakes from?
I'm trying to think how to make the wedding banquet interesting leh...how to have interesting slide show, without needing to engage external vendor to do it for you?

hi bery!!!
heheheh... miss me then call me lah...
ai yoh, good meh, this is the first course i attended since i joined this company u know, 2 years liao..its a short simple course on web page designing lah...
so exciting hor got cards already.. heheheh...don't panic, still got time, are u going to buy the "si dian jin" with your MIL? think give yourself a deadline for ordering the cakes and caterers loh, then you'll not feel gan cheong..
which building u work, maybe we meet for lunch?
hi choco,
wow, your wedding is one day after mine!!
well, since your MIL has already told you her schedule of ti-ching and sending of cakes, its better to stick to her timing loh, but i do agree with you that its a bit rush, things that can be done early is worth doing it earlier to save trouble and stress...maybe u can suggest to her to bring forward by one week and see what she says..as for the no.of tables she's giving your side, its best to discuss soon cos u'll need to know the no.of tables you're allocating to ur friends, colleagues etc , you'll need to work out your total no of tables, for guest list loh... : ) hope it helps!

angelia, I find this is very sickening cos if he is going to waste the seat, then I might as well invite more of my friends. I am cutting down 4-8 friends so that he can have the seats to invite the friends. In the first place when I agree to a dinner is that he will not play me out like what he did to my brother. It was agree upon that he will confirm with his friends. Somehow dun see it happening.

dun be angry.. that's how our parents' generation work.. they dun RSVP, & they dun confirm with others.. always assuming their frenz won't go tour, won't hv something else on that day, if they invite only couple, only the couple will come & not bring kids, etc.. etc...
my mum oso same thing.. so i kept pestering her to "release news" (some 1 mth ago) of my wedding date to our relatives & those people she intends to invite.. until she buah tahan & picked up the phone to call...
sometimes i feel so bad.. pressure her to do things against her norm!! but i oso no choice, restaurant only allowed us to reserve 1 table, so i muz keep loss to minimum

some info to share on Dowry
<FONT COLOR="0000ff">
Dowry
This is normally sent to the groom's family a couple of days before the actual wedding day, or simply brought along by the bride on the wedding day itself. The bride's dowry normally consists of items such as valuable jewelry, kitchen utensils, and bridal linen such as sheets, pillowcases and clothes. In some instances, the bride's dowry could also include some ornaments for the bridal room.</FONT>

<FONT COLOR="119911">
Preparation of the Bridal Bed
A man of good fortune will be hired to move the bridal bed to the right place in the bridal room while a woman of supposed good fortune will make the bed and also place certain foods and fruit that symbolize good fortune on the bed. Children are also invited onto the bed on the day of the wedding to symbolize the blessing of fertility upon the couple. <FONT COLOR="ff0000">Red dates. Oranges, lotus seeds, peanuts and pomegranates</FONT> are scattered all around the bed for the same purpose. The modern simplified way is to just change the bed linen to a traditional red colour for good luck and prosperity.</FONT>
