Hi Jennifer,
The Perfect Wedding is Shangri-La hotel's new wedding store. It has wedding favours, table settings etc and showcases them in a store at the hotel itself. Don't know if they sell their favours to couples who do not hold their dinner at Shang. U can try calling them to ask. Hope this helps

Hi Anne
My GDL's going to be very simple. Only my FH coming to send the stuff over, no relatives fr his & my side..
Cards def send out earlier, if not too many things to handle at the same time. My GDL only 2 weeks before AD, so it wld be too late to send/distribute then
Hi MissWho
Q2: Cakes only 1 box per family of relative. Again this varies fr family custom to family custom & dialect group.
Q4: Pig is def carried by brothers.. Too heavy & messy for the jie meis
Q5: My mum choppped up the roast pig herself during my sister's wedding.

Normally according to Chinese customs, the invites for close relatives are given out during the GDL. And, GDL is one week before the wedding (Chinese give the reason that they are afraid their relatives forget, misplace the card etc etc).
But, according to western culture they normally give out the invites 1 to 2 months before the actual day.
Since we are mainly chinese with some western influences, its up to u to decide. For me, I am doing everything early cos I wont be around when the date arrives for GDL.
I hope this answers your question, starmoon.

yo ger/vela.... tks... did u go for wine tasting...
hi hi mikmik..
yap, usually the matt gold stamping is more expensive as the feel is diff & i think the foil cost more..that's why..but the after effect is very nice...
hi hi misswho..
i think it depends on the ji-guan of the bride & groom..pls correct me if i m wrong..i guess not everyone will practise the samething.."mei po" can be ur FH's aunt too..for some pple, negotiation usually take place when both side of the parents meet & then the "mei-po" acts as middleman..also during the day of the GDL & the day when groom come to yin-jie the bride..as for the xi bing, it depends on what else the bride's family ask for, usually if bride's family ask for no of tables from groom, the xi bing will be slightly lesser..like what mikmik suggested, 2 boxes to close relatives & 1 box to close friends of parents..but they are also some families that practised 1 box only to close relatives..others no need..regards to Q3, it really depends on each ji-guan as diff ji-guan has diff practise..for what i understand about roast pig, when given to the bride's family, the roast pig 's head & tail/bum must be chopped very carefully & after which arranged nicely in the "same" layout with the oranges filled up like the body of the roast pig, i m not sure abt engaging a butcher for chopping the roast pig, i guess it will be best if u can check with the person u r buying the roast pig from..r u a pure cantonese?

Hi Starmoon,
I'm intending to send out starting 1.5mths away fr AD, latest deadline is 1mth away fr AD. My guest list is huge, so gotta portion accordingly, & delegating ppl to help chase for RSVPs
My relatives & FH's relatives are easy to handle. No distant relatives, except a few on his side, which MIL wld gao dim..
Earlier is better, gotta keep in mind tt ur banquet's expecting u to confirm no. of tables between 1-2 weeks fr big day.

Of the the invitation is open to you all but i scared you all will be busy with your own wedding preparations leh.... but we can always have a hen's night out together!

hi hi mehmeh & misswho..
actually it's really not very nice on the roast pig issue..really..must really handle with care..bcoz if u didnt chopped properly, it's not very gd also, plus must return to the groom side so must be "arranged/decorated" nicely lor..that's why it's really very particular...

Hi Wendy
Really so ma fan ah? I think if my mum didn't ask me to do anything, she shd know how to.. Even if she doesn't, I've got enough aunts with their mountains-full of instructions to "drown" her in
Hi Starmoon
Prob think right now, you can focus on consolidating the addresses of those u need to mail the cards out. At least get it out of the way, so when u finally get the cards, it wld be an easier task.
If u've got enthusiastic gd galfrens or cousins or colleagues and have volunteered to help in any way + have gd handwriting, get them to help u on this. Makes ur life easier..

hi hi sweet..
i understand that the cakes starts from $6.20 each..actually we just got to realise that bcoz the cakes can only store for 4 days upon collection of the cakes & diff brides have diff dates for the GDL & we dun think bengawan solo allow us to seperate the delivery dates bcoz all their delivery is to one location only..when will u be having ur GDL? mine is on mid-autumn festival itself..wat do u think?

hi hi mehmeh..
ya lor, i just find that the customs itself will be soo messy & confusing enough for us..so i guess it's better for ur aunts or PIL's side to settle it, i think most impt thing is to be chin chai bcoz all these co-ordination isnt easy + i m trying to minimise the possible fiction betw my inlaws & my parents b4 they meet up to discuss in details abt such issues..it's really very scary leh...stressss...
