hi stars,
for us, we will goto his parents hse for t-ceremony. Will bar them from coming over for t-ceremony except that i will go back to change kua b4 goto my parents hse. I dun wan ppl come and create a mess and not clean up for us. Coz we will stay at hotel for a night. Scare that our hse will not be locked and cleaned up properly.
Some couples might go over to hubby parents hse for t-ceremony while relatives of hubby may gather at the couple new hse for t-ceremony.
Afterall, i think the choice is yours.
Congrats to all Oct brides. Dun stress out else will not look nice on your BIG DAY.

highness, haven't yet leh..... but i got a rough idea of how i want my design to be cos my mum don't like the idea of having our pics in postcards so i will ask my BS to do some graphic design such that it looks like a sketch instead of real pics and use that as background for me postcard.....

Hi JT,
for myself, I will distribute the cards to relatives on my guo da li (abt 1.5 weeks before my AD date). before that, my mum has called them who are gg to attend the wedding so that we(bride and groom) can write the correct name on the invitation card.
as for my col, I sent out email to them on 26/9 (my AD is on 5/11) and will give them allowance to reply at least about 2 weeks (ard 4/10). for those who do not reply, I will send again to ask them by 3/10. Will pass the card to them ard 5/10 or 10/10.(abt 3 weeks +)
as for my friend, I have send email, SMS and mail thr friendster ard 28/9 and will give them 1 week to response. then, will either meet them or mail them the card.
that's how I planned.

Hi afcai, i agree with you during the celebrations you can see who can help out the most willingly... 
Dun get upset if pple do not want to help that much. Get some other friends instead lah...
Hi JT, my schedule is similar to afcai. I have already sent out email invites to all my friends and colleagues and have even called them up to check the recieve and ask if they are coming lor. For relatives I am also doing it one week before the wedding.
For the cards, I will be sending them out by mid Oct-late oct.

jam - have been doing yoga for the past one year...
I've spoken to my MIL. She said that most important issue ultimately is still happiness and love of the couple over any other things... She felt that keeping of the AB money collected from the dinner, asking for big amount of dowry etc is like trying to sell the daughter away. When my hb's sister got married 2 yrs back, she didn't keep the AB money and she even return the ping jin she has taken to the sister during the tea ceremony.... really stress now... guess will need to speak to my mum again.

amy, try not to put across the words to your mum as what your MIL says, cos to certain mum, they feel that the groom side must pay for it one. as for the pin jin,my mum is asking for 4 digit, but she has assured me she is going to take a minimum of it only, maybe 2 digit and return the rest. it is realy for good significance only... maybe your mum planning to do the same... thus, have ot be very cautious about how to put across... else mum will think that you are shielding your MIL. worse come to worse, tell a white lie....
O dear.. amy, relax.. if not, u gotta fork out the sum urself to make ur mum happy.. like wat the other gals doin.. for me, me n FH r paying the entire wedding ourselves (meaning all my pin jin too), thus mum not taking the AP collected, will give me back oso.. but sure making a loss from there too.. but i got frd breakeven tho MIL oso nvr give back AP..
think every parent got different pattern.. at first my mum oso wanna keep the AP, as it's a traditon.. talk to her again.. but do understand is terrible to sandwich in between..

Amy, my FMIL and my FH wasn't happy too when they knew that my mum was taking the AP. So in the end what i told my FH is that I will contribute part of the pin jin so that not so heavy burden on him cos he just started working less than 2 years. Then for my mum, i told her that nowadays most couple use the APs to pay off the dinner and if she is taking the APs, then i may end up needing to get a loan from her to pay off the loss and i think she relent and then offer to pay for the loss if any so makes both side happy now lor. She gets to keep AP but helps to cover loss and my FH won't take all APs from dinner but no need to pay loss. But as Winnie says, must word carefully to your mum. Maybe get someone close to your mum to talk to her and convince her too.... tell her that you want to create a good relationship with your ILs too so try to settle such sensitive $$ issue as best as possible.

harlow wendy,
Was wondering if u had the time to come in anot..
U really worked very hard till the last min leh.. Hmm, never asked for off-loading? U poor thing, really almost fainted ah?
Dun talk liao.. U zhi zhar isssit? Must preserve for the solemnization k? To mesmerise ur guests with ur beautiful voice. Drink lotsa honey-lemon water.. When I was in choir, we were fed with this before competitions & performances..
Do up ur seating arrangement & get someone to print for u lah.. U shd relax & be pretty!
Things will get better & fall into place accordingly, dun worry k? Someone will come fwd to help u do whatever u need.. APs leave to ur HB, coz prob on his side, nothing much left. Just make sure he gets a main xiong di to help him distribute to whoever who shd get.. My HB forgot to give out!
U liked the bouquet from YC?
Dun feel too excited is a gd point too.. At least u make urself tired enough, nothing will bother u, then u can have a gd rest!
Oh boy, u're one workaholic, still work after the big day! Gosh.. No more leave huh?

amy - agree w the rest.. i think u sld approach the issue w ur mum carefully.. rite at the beginning of our planning, my parents were like super upset w me coz i kept on "siding" my fh's family by telling them not to request for too much and how cme they want to keep all the APs? but for gal's parents, sometimes it's not abt the $$, but they view usch action as the sincerity of the guy's side and also wheter their precious dotter will be valued by guy's side..wat's more even if parents keep the $$, ultimately, they oso saving it for us lorz.. tt's how i see it.. altho of coz, initially i did feel like my parents were trying to "sell" me off!! =)
morning ladies.
amy hope your mood is better today.
agree with the rest of the ladies opinion...
watashi, for the cake, this morning i ate, still not thawed just taken from fridge is no nice hehehe. but i brought 2 pieces to office and now eating, i find choc macademia nicer... the walnut is not as good as bengawan cos i think they put too much essence in it till the smell is very strong... but think it depends on your preference.
