(2005) Brides of year 2005

my mum said some hokkien ppl give suckling pig or the roase pork meat during GDL, to distribute to relatives.. then AD, traditionally suckling pig is a must.

caitlyn.. $4 each card is very very ex leh.. some more u got spend $$ for printing.
i'm sure u can get cheaper & nicer ones outside.
 


i noe can get cheaper cards from outside.. but when i think of having to spend tt extra money.. i super bu shuang.. hahah.. some more find it funny to give 2 different types of cards..
 
jam dun use the word old leh... call old call old wait really old den chamz..
we all c ur pics u r not old la... maybe after make up looks mature & elegant ur mum say that...
with the lighting and make up shld b ok la

i think watashi right... but the meat can replace with trotter can... my mum say ok...
depending ur dialect too.. i know cantonese wan real suckling pig one..maybe a small little piggy...heh

caitlyn.. big head v clever one..haha but i think u look alright la...
pple dunno u give them different cards also..hehe...same grp u give same cards lo... give hotel earn more bu shuang...hah
but hotels all stated v clearly that they give only 70%...
ur relatives all those...1 family give 1 card cannot huh?
 
berry - hahahah.. if i clever, i wun be teacher lioz!! hahahha.. biggest mistake.. hee.. anyway, i am giving each family 1 card.. but for my lunch, i not inviting relatives.. all frens and colleagues.. tt's the prob..
 
berry & caitlyn,
hope too the pix will turn up good lor...cos spent alot of $$$ liow....when pix ready share wif u gals then give comments lor...
 
i know why u need so many cards...coz of lunch right... so ur hotel give u the cards based on the dinner only or including the lunch?
the lunch lesser pple right? maybe give them the cards u print extra one?
urs v headache hor? nvm the nightmare will be over in 3 mths time..u happily honeymoon-ing away...

jam wanna have bb after honeymoon huh? bb made in spain..keke...
 
watashi - u have the software ah? wat's the name of the software? but i very bad at all this designing stuff.. hee.. i called my PG just now, ask him whether he has done any collage yet.. then wanna just take from him and use for my card.. hee.. he v nice, offer to design for me.. so sweet hor.. but DIY also quite costly.. maybe i design then ask commercial printer to print lorz..

berry - my hotel giving 70% for each lunch and dinner but becoz i intend to invite more than my guaranteed guests sure not enuff cards.. also i dun dare to up my confirmed tables at this point in time coz alot of my colleagues most likely planning for hols so they all cannot confirm..
 
berry,
not going to made bb at spain but in NZ...cos wanted to go NZ & i alredi tell my hb if wan bb than u muz bring mi to NZ b4 i agreed to hv bb so i can hv 2nd HM...well planned leh....if not kanna bb at spain no more trip liow...
 
berry.. wah made in swiss.. branded leh .

caitlyn, my sis always use the software to do posters & cards for her teaching materials.
but i dunno wats the name of the software.
i chk with her tonite.. DIY shld be cheaper since u print everything yourself. but since your PG offer to design for u, then u no need to headache lor, just leave it to him.. later give him a big ang pow
happy.gif
 
watashi - wah... ur sis teacher ah?? sounds like a very on teacher... hee.. i nvr ever think of doing posters and cards one.. hahha.. can u help me find out teh software? thx!!

caitlyn, how many invites u need?

Daphne, u know the cost to do the postcard invites?
 
HI,
We're not having GDL. We're Chinese, not going through the "traditional" rites.

You ladies won't believe what I did yesterday. I bought another wedding gown. This will be the one I'll use for our solemnnisation ceremony. I already have one from Bridal Concept, but decided to get another one, a more simple one, for the poolside ceremony. Camellia Haute Couture was clearing some of their wedding and evening gowns yesterday and I managed to find one I love! Less than $300.

Hello gals, came in so late today. went out in the noon to prescribe new specs. i broke mi specs while washing car. haha! so made mi hb get mi new ones.

Caitlyn, invites maybe can use those transparent paper to print and paste on a coloured card. those can get cheaply fr bkshops. mi colleague juz showed mi one invite today and they did that for lunch invite.

dun thk i be doing anything much for gdl coz mi mum and mil not very on abt tiz. prob some fruits and pig trotters if we do. Mi mum only decided to ask for roast pig coz cantonese tradition for AD.

topic abt cooking now? i can cook and one of mi fave hobby. coz mi mum trained mi fr young to do it. scared i kana tekan nx time by MIL but instead nw is mi hb who tekan mi. he cant cook at all so always end up having to cook for him to eat.
so one thing gd, got levy to stay at hm and nt wk. haha
