thx starmoon!
i kip forgetting when hungry ghost mth starts, so set an early deadline, coz my mum wud be super upset if i 4get and end up having to send the invites during that taboo mth....so now that u remind me, thk i wud work wif sending out during july, by the 3rd week....then request for rsvp latest by the 1st day after hungry ghost...coz sme relatives may be so pangtang that they may not give their rsvps even during the hg mth!
hiaz, looks like the week b4 AD gonna be super hectic....arranging seat plans and all.....
rgds to food tasting, thk i may try to arrange by end of june. I'll be back from PS by 22nd May, likely to call Sharul 4 an appt to discuss the details. i'm always an initiator, wud not wait for them to call....coz it may be a long wait, end up more things to stress and rush...I rather start early, get over and done wif, with a little hope that i may be able to shake a bit of leg b4 AD...
thk as for ballroom designs wud be done by them, likely the florist. u have a choice of woodsville or sir charles i thk....i likely to work wif woodsville, unless sir charles dun have to top up.....me intending to take whatever they give, but share my theme wif them, so that they can work ard my ideas...in fact, i have oredi cut out some magazine pix so show them roughly how I wud like the stage to be decorated. as for the floral arrangement, i wud oso work with the std flowers they give, but tell them how i like the flowers to be arranged. thk the std type of flowers shld be roses, gerberas, and orchids....i wanted to use other exotic flowers, but some may be seasonal, and most require top-up. got to watch the budget,so sticking to wat is avail then.
points to discuss wif Sharul wud be:
1. choice of menu.
2. date of tasting.
3. collection of invites to send for inlets for printing.
4. choosing of wedding favours (wud take watever that dun require top-up oso.)
5. flower arrangements and stage decor.
6. colour scheme( vip table set-up)/theme.
7. use of projectors/ arrange for trial use of equipment.
8. chk possibility of at least 1 rehersal (more for the screening of my montage and express highlights, to match compatibility of software with their equipment)
can't thk of more for now.....
i'm not sure who wud be allocated as my coordinator, but i feel more comfy wif Sharul, though Jenn is a fren's fren and I was recommended to work with her....but then again, i raher still wrk wif Sharul, that's y gonna call him for the appt, brief him my ideas, so that in the event that i'm allocated Jenn, I have a very valid reason to turn her down, stating that Sharul wud be more familiar wif what i want. I dun wanna upset any1...more so esp Jenn is a very good fren of a personal fren who oso works in RH....;p
p/s: heard reviews that Jenn can be quite blur....so i wud not leave it to chances.....Sharul appears more like a perfectionist, so wud ensure dat all goes well for us.
