Hi Amaze,
I agree with Val. $$ may ultimately be one of the various reasons why we dun invite our Muslim/Vegetarian frds. But it is not the only and most important reason. YOu should really read carefully before you start to accuse anyone of anything at all.
I din invite my Muslim frds cos I can't form a full table of 10 person in the first place. But I did invite my vegetarians frds and relatives. For the Muslim, I did invite them to my church wedding though and all of them understand my situation and will al be turning up for my church wedding.

<FONT COLOR="0000ff">btw, gals.. during tea ceremony, bride serves groom's relatives & groom serves bride's relatives izzit???

Hi Jessy,
Thks, i've already sent out my cards since last week. Most are mailed out while some are hand-given. Both me and hubby either call, sms and email them first before sending out the cards cos need to get their address and at least inform them first.
I think 2 weeks before our wedding to call for RSVP should be fine. Until now, the RSVP response is not very good, so got to call them up lor.
I'm not buying accessories cos my shop will provide. They din mention for day or evening so i suppose it's both, but will check with them again.
Hi Decbride, i've sent out the link to u.
for the invitation, did you all invite more just in case of those that didnt turn up? i am wondering if i should still invite more people but also afraid that too many will turn up until no seats? any rough guides?

Hi Pinky,
Like you, I also afriad that some people which you invite might not be able to turn up for the wedding. According to my banquet executive, it is better to invite two table mroe than the number of tables you are having. For example, if you are holding a banquet for 20 tables, you will have to invite 22 tables. In case everyone turn up, you still have the two reserve tables to use. Hence, you will not have to worry about last min full attendance. Some people might also tell you they cannot come but then last min can come.

Thanks for your compliments!
<FONT COLOR="119911">Angelia</FONT>
In fact, I've emailed to Yahoo! to complain abt this proxy error a few weeks ago. However, they replied that the problem lies with our ISP. Just one of the excuses they are giving but I don't have problem viewing other pple's pixs stored in photoaccess, msn, etc? I've replied to them to rectify the problem... dunno if they'll respond.

HI Berypig,
Hmm...guess a lot of us will be facing similar problem. Some of my frds are going oversea for conferences, some got to work etc. Think when we are doing the RSVP, we might get a lot of disapopintment.

Hi Corie,
Ya lor. Now haven do the RSVP, already got some friends who cannot attend. Just now another friend told me he forgot to tell me tt he can't come cos he has promised his friend to attend his wedding quite some time ago. I have just sent him my invitation card this morning... sigh... waste my stamp somemore
I guess not a very good idea to hold it in dec huh cos a lot of friends going for holidays also.

Hi berypig and corie,
ya lor, doing RSVP is quite a headache. i just roughly ask some colleagues and some still cant confirm whether they are coming anot, which is quite disappointing cos they are like not keen to go to ur wedding.. decided to leave them out first in the seating arrangements.
also there's the spouse part, maybe should leave them out also.. so far, i've just guessed those that will not be coming and maybe will invite more to make up.
the headache also comes when there's a odd number like 9 persons, very hard to put a single person in

Agree with all, guests seating is just such a big headache...Me now tried to arrange for a full set of 10 for my tables liao but dunno whether all can come...just have to keep my fingers cross cos if we need to invite make-up they may not feel gd that they receive the invites later leh...
Hi Pinky!
My wedding dinner is on Christmas Eve this year. During the festive season, people have ALOT of programs and family commitments. Do not be disappointed that people cann't turn up for the wedding lor - I think it is normal one lor. Many of my friends told me upfront that they can't make it already. My mim no. of tables is 38 and so far I think I shouldn't have problems fulfilling it lor. Relaqtives are a sure bet, sure will turn out one - but dun expect too much from friends, so that if they come, it is a bonus. if they dun wanna come, then just take it positively
I received alot of ang paos from colleagues who can't make it - so i think they want to attend lah, just really can't spare the time lor.
ok, wishing us all the best in our wedding preps! final leg liao! very xiong!

Pinky, maybe you can invite your friend's spouse if u find that there are only 9 ppl. My friend told me to use this kind of tactic. Sigh, maybe last resort i will use this...
Do u gals think if it is kinda late if i were to invite someone now or maybe next wk if my wedding is 2 wks later?

Hi Val,
Are you close to those colleague? Maybe you can just write the person's name without the address of 'mrs' or 'mr' in front.
