honeygem tks, if pour 1/2 filled...1 botl served 10 glasses rite? I will probably purchase 12 botls enuff liao (120 glasses to serve 65 guests). Anyway my guests mostly are gers which they stopped at 1 glass and go for other drinks. That is wat I observed when we attended other weddings together....hehehe... And out of 1 table, only abt 3 gers drink... Or alternatively, I can get gin/volka to serve cocktail coz hotel dun charge me corkage for hard liquor.
To me I dun think is an embarassment to run out of wine. Coz they r my close frds, run out I will scold them "Who ask u to drink so much and now others not enuff to drink???"...hahaha...n tats me

Ok hehehe...i think do mixers more worth Coz can mix many many glasses n no corkage charge for hard liquor mah...hahaha... Add to variety, hiakhiak. And on my AD, I wan say to my frds "Drink more cocktail" rather than normally ppl say "Drink More" hahahahahha..
I tried asking Amara to add strawberry/cherries to my cocktail wine glasses n they wan to charge me $100+++ for that. Not too much i guess but they say wan to charge me another $100+++ to serve chips n nuts during cocktail session. This one I wan to faint, I told her I will bring my own nuts den.

The Beverages List
------------------
Coke
Orange
7-up
Vodka Lime
Gin Tonic
Bourbon Coke
Red Wine
Not bad hor...wahahahaaha...
I calculated if 1 purchase 12 botls wine + corkage charge, 3 hard liquor = $644.40/65 guests=$9.90+buffet$55= $64.90 per pax for whole dinner. Ok lah, will do!!! Hahahahaha....

hmmm... i didn't catch any of the willow thingy, must be was when i'm at bkk...
just an idea, i was thinking of cutting simple cards and tying them to the ends of the ballon strings, and let them hang down with the balloons floating at the ceiling (can picture tat?) then ask guests to grab a balloon at the reception and write their blessings and release the ballons back to the ceiling in the ballroom (have to provide suitable length ribbons lah)... at the end of the event, collect them all
but scrapped tat idea cos not going for ballon-mania already... just balloons and bubbles at the recption area

Lynn, tat idea suddenly came to my mind lah...not everytime i have gd ideas, some r lousy too...hahaha..
Dazed, still got other interesting ways of doing guest book one. We will brainstorm k
If willow is troublesome, juz get those colourful notescard and a clear vase. After guests write their congrats messages, drop them into the clear vase. Can deco the vase to make it more pretty. Yours is beach theme, can place seashells ard the reception table. U know not many ppl can have that theme coz not many beach weddings ard. So make full use of tat During dinner, can get emcee to read out few touching messages if any. End of the day, paste those note cards on your album. Simple and nice!

Hi all and new Oct brides,
I have just done the ERS shares thru ATM. Just to share the news. Will be credited to your acct within the next 4 days.
Hi Karen,
We have the same AD. I will be holding my dinner in Marina Mandarin. You got to be fast though cos Marriot is a popular hotel. Most bridal studios allow rental of gowns and prewedding shots like outdoor and studio shots. you get to select abt 24-28pcs in the main album. There is this Feline Bridal in Tanjong Pagar that include free 4 rolls of AD photography at $3288nett. Most of the studio do provide AD photograhy using their in house photograhers ranging from 600-700plus.
Furry,
I just went rollerblading last week and was fun. Goin again to east coast this week. the Fila blades that you recommended is unsuitable for me cos my feet quite broad. So sad...I bought MICRO aluminium blades instead which is more exp...

Hi everyone,
Does anyone knows whether we should get nu-bra for our wedding gown in order not to reveal our straps & backing? Some people have told me that go braless better?

Hi Swangal,
Thanks for your tips re bridal packages... maybe I'll get my friend to check it out first... 'coz I will only be in SG for 2 weeks in March!!!! Not a lot of time to do Bridal package shopping. But $3000 sounds like a good deal!!! In Sydney, renting a wedding gown will cost me at least AUD$800!!!
Going to get my fiance to check out Marriott and maybe book the place when he goes back to SG end of the month... hopefully it will go smooth...
