Hi Vivian,
I think just ignore the extra charge for the cards.. cos charging extra for the cards is better than charging extra for the Tables!

else can u delay ur invitation card printing? for me, I need to have an earlier card printing cos I have overseas guest.. for wedding in June, my coordinator actually suggest only printing the cards in April. Anyway what i do now is to count who are my confirmed guests, else maybe u can print extra inserts first and only get more cards from ur hotel when u needs it.

oh ya..GIrls
never announced here yet.. I finished my PS pix selections heeheehee

[blue_genie]

[sabjac]

Hi,

Me not able to make it on 6/3/05.. Will be going to Bintan and be back in the evening..
sorry

 

[tou2]

Hi icy, ok will look forward to your pics

Hi Sharlene, went to Robinson last weekend. Was disappointed that they don't carry cravats anymore. Will go to Peninsula this weekend and keep you updated

When do you need it by hur? When's your PS?

Gals, by the way, how many clothes changes do the Hubbys need? I was thinking of 1 in the morning and 2 changes during the dinner. Is it abit too much? Need to get 3 shirts and ties/cravats. But in the morning sure 100% sweaty and dirty one. So dont' think appropriate to wear the same thing to dinner.

Icy and Ying, what are your hubbies wearing hur?

hi ladies,
pls allow me to do some complaining here...

my FH told me yesterday that his dad want us to change our AD date! reason being: there are better dates ard!

I was so angry! we told him abt our date long long time ago and only now when we are abt to bring the cards for printing then he voice out! To him, 3 mths like very long, can arrange for everything again! wat rubbish! I told my FH straight that I dun wan to change the date!

my FH initially told me ok not to change the date. But at night, he was like trying to find way out. He still can ask me why i dun wan to change date, issit becoz it's very mafan?! He wanted to call the hotel to check their availability on other dates. Before signing the contract, we already knew that there will be charges imposed for cancellation or changing of dates. I asked him if he is willingly to pay that $4K imposed! he can tell me he need to discuss with his parent! Wat's there to discuss?! Even if his parents say they pay, in the end my FH will pay! and that will be our money wat! To my mum, every weekend is a good date, if u dun check the tongshu, u dunno anything, then nothing will happen. So i told my FH, if his dad insist of changing the date, our side is insisting on weekend banquet, and we can forget of getting married this year already as Conrad is already fully booked for all the weekends in 2005. So is he going to change the venue? Are we going to redo our wedding favours, which have the hotel name and wedding date printed?

In the first stage of the preparation, when i was choosing the dates, looking thru the net for 'good' dates, my FH still can scold me for doing these things. The two of us not the tradition type thus we dun really believe in all these things. And now he is trying to please his dad!

Wat upset me most is that instead of thinking of ways to convince his dad, he was like thinking of way to convince me!! If he want to think of how to tok to his dad, i will definitely support him and give him a lot of ideas.. but he wasn't!!!

I can entertian his dad's request if it's reasonable.. like that time before renovation, he wanted to choose date for dongtu, by all means! he wan to hammer the floor how many times i also dun care! But i not going to entertian those unreasonable stuffs! if his dad says our house fengshui no good, is he going to redo the reno? if his dad says our ba zhi no good, is he going to change a wife???

My fh keep telling me he knows his dad is wrong, i am not wrong for being upset over this matter and he is trying a find a way to please both of us. NO WAY! either his dad happy or I happy.

i was like the bad person, causing him to be sandwich between his dad and me. BUT WHO CAUSES ALL THESE TROUBLES!?

In the end, he say ok to stick on to our date. No changes. And i will go ahead to arrange for the wedding cards to be printed. Really hope that no more nonsense

Best thing: My FH is currently outstation!

One set for night for the first march with bridal gown. One set for the evening gown + photo-taking+sending of guests.

then either maindarin collar or red shirt with pants to match my kua.

then depending on the 2nd choice.. we could get another coloured jacket for hb to changed for 2nd march in.

I agree, must change the shirt, else will sting man..

[helensim80]

Welcome Joleen,
Feel free to raise any problems. We will try to help as much as we can..

[sharlene]

Tou,
My HB only hv 1 suit, he will change 2 shirts inside.
Mostly he will wear the vest in the evening with jacket for 1st march in, then second march in, change the shirt inside. During table phototaking, Designer suggest he can take off the jacket and expose the vest to take photos instead.

[tou2]

Oh Sharlene, forgot to answer your question. I'm trying to get someone to do the tiara for me - just a simple one lar. (Not like the Chryster type) I have already spoken to a lady who's selling accessories in Bishan. Her price is really reasonable but she went to HK and will only be back in Mar

Anyone else knows of a good and reasonably priced accessories-maker?

 

[panggou]

oh you mean mag out tomorrow?? must watch out for it liao

 

[galevo]

Hello,

I'm a Dec bride too.

My AD will be on the 23rd Dec.

Hope to get to know you all more..

 

[ccteott]

Hi Princess,

Hi girls,

i m a 5th June brides too.. Need some advice from u gals.. How much angpao to give for crashing door, say i have abt 8 jiemei? and oso do my hubby need to give ang pao to all jiemei if both side of parents gave also?

thanks gals

 

[icy]

joyce,
angbaos depend on ur budget. if ur gate crashing AP is like the groom give AP to jiemei liao, i dun think need to give again.. bride might want to give if u feel gate crashing ap too little for them.

 

[ash_]

woah woah woah.. you gals sure type fast!! *faint*

anna,
oh dear.. so sorry to hear that. but well, think abt it, at least it's postponed for just 1-2months, which is not a lot considering it's alr end feb now!

of cos u can stay here!! u were the one who created this thread right? *wink*

hi winnie,
i'll not be having a collage. dont really like it personally.. like too many thgs to see. hehe.. but a good photographer's a must on your AD. better still if u can get 2. im thinking of doing that cos ive a few friends who are superb photographers..

hi caitlyn,
wow.. so ure gonna celebrate ur wedding 4 times?!? hehe..

sk2,
i'll also be having malaysians cos my fiance's mum is malaysian.. plus i just learnt she like invited the whole village down to her other son's wedding few years ago..

so im really keeping my fingers crossed..

hi winnie,
im with chrisling too!! but have signed with kelvin for PS cos i personally prefer his works. will be getting eugene to do my AD.. he's a real sweetie. he told me that john is the one who's been with CL longer, but i find .their styles very similar.. so it's really up to you. i love andrew choi's works tho.. just that i heard his AD photographer's not very good and since AD photog more (most!) impt to me, i decided to go with CL. think eugene (or john) quoted my friend 1280 for AD photog recently. but im sure if u sign PS with them, it'll be cheaper

let me know how it went!!
website for captured moments is www.capturedmoment*.com.sg - replace the * with an 's'

 

[yuuri]

thanks nana,
that means give younger cousins and siblings different amt for ang pow? agar agar how much to give for each ah?

 

[joleenk]

Thanks Esther, Wendy and Helen for the welcome.

Wonder if most of you here have arranged date for PS yet? any ideas for outdoor PS?

Vivi, I thought of botanic garden too, actually that area quite nice w the plants, orchid etc, only thing I worry is if the weather hot then my FH can't stand walking around in suit to take photo.. saw quite a few ppl take photo there b4.
Anyone thought of taking night scenery during PS such as Fullerton one at night?
