Hi blursotong,
for me, we will be having ard 30-33(to be confirmed nearer the date) tables. what's abt u? yeah, getting ppls to respond also very hard. some ppls just won't response and maybe they did not go thru this type of thing, they dun seem to understand the difficult part of it. hai.... did yr mum invite many ppls on her own?
really headaches now, cos mum is not
cos I told her most of the stuffs can be replaced by ang pows and not to buy unneccesary things(as in laws said dun need to buy). but my sister now 'accusing' me saying that I'm dun need to save $$ but to follow traditional and give 'face' to my mum and the elderly. also some things that are unlogic, hai...sad to say that at first, she told me she will be inviting my brother's gf parents. I told her ok and she mentioned maybe can place them to sit in VIP TABLE. OOPS GOSH, I told her how can I placed them to sit there, they are not related to me (unless brother and her gf are married), ppls will tend to gossip esp my traditional gu gu.hai.... I guess she also dun understand we are only the bride 's side family NOT groom, for groom, they can invited anyone cos they are the host and bills are paid by them. bride's side family only given 5-8 tables so if more than that, they might need to foot the bill. anyway, nowsdays, parents do not paid the banquet for their children liao and the banquets is paid by couple themselves using the ang pow, dun u think so?(correct me if l am wrong?)
other unhappinesss things too....
really,
and she also felt that way. hai....
