Though I can't join you ladies on 16 Apr, just thot I'd give my feedback on that Marche lookalike place. I went there soon after it opened for dinner. The place is called V'llage but pronounced as vee-lah-jay. Personally, I prefer the variety of food at Marche. V'llage is pretty limited. Price wise, my impression is that it's abt the same as Marche. But do remember that drinks at such places are a bit pricier .. so since you all intend to linger and chit chat, must take this into consideration.
Must say I liked that part where you all were thinking of going into Dang to try their gowns!

namaste from india gals .... couldn't log in until now .... it's about 1am in india .... had a VERY long day yesterday at the taj mahal, which is a 5 hr bus ride from delhi ... and another long day at the conference today
jelly ~ thanks for asking abt me ... hehehe ... have been pigging out on indian food ... starting to get a bit of a sore throat ... anyway, how was mr lim?
duffy ~ take care on your trip to BKK .... happy shopping if you have time!
karen aw, beachygal, melodle, blur blur ~ hi there ... welcome to the thread!

beachygal ~ alamak ... wasted! i just finished all my BS-hunting before i came over to india ... i did a couple of reports for the gals here which you can check out in the earlier archives from march ... heheheh

i hv not finalise my banquet details yet...but i did ask ard for some quotes. any specific qn you want to ask? um..for me i notice that to book in the same yr makes it cheaper cos hotels tend to give disct for 05 dates in 05 and sell at high prices in 04.. so we were thinking of waiting...?? wat do you think?
if you are targeting to get a weekend date in Dec 05 at a hotel, it may be full if you do not book early. i think the hotels offer discounts for same year bookings as a way to fill up their schedule.
dinah ~ yo! namaste? Is it a Indian greeting? heh....good to see your post!
anna ~ I think you can afford to wait.......is yours a popular date in a popular month? Maybe you'd like to make a tentative booking? If the hotels allow..
hi anna... well if its a weekday it still ok... that always really depend on how KS u are loh... its true that its cheaper to sign up within the same year but i feel that the price have beening increasing every year leh...
jellytots is right...although they do give you discountif you book in 05 for you AD in 05...but every year the hotel will increase their rate..so you might be paying more next year even after the discount give to you...can you imaging my uncle hold his wedding at Marina Mandarin 3 years ago and he is only paying $600 on weekend but now the hotel is asking for $808.

um.. but even if you book in 04 for 05 banquet right, they make you book at 05 prices for the 05 banquet le... then doesn't it come up the same price?
you mean we can book at 04 prices now?
anna ~ opps...then it's up to you? Nov' & Dec' are popular months....
I guess it depends whether you can accept any other dates other than the one you chose......no harm booking early IMO
wow u all really got do homework huh... but i know sometimes some hotels allow u to pay the 04 price if their nxt yr price is not out yet... i always thought that the diff is maybe better perks if u sign up on the show if not i dun think the price will drop... further more i think for show the package price will be the same no change just that they will add more perks.... unless the hotel banquet biz is bad no much schedule then i believe that they may consider drop price or what loh....
oh anna... juz kpo why u thought of a monday to be ur AD....
jelly
my ad will be a sat cos church only do sats but fh felt that it will be too rush to do 2 tea ceramonies and 1 church solemnisation plus a banquet all in a day. we considered sun then but then thought since the price differential between sun and mon was so big, might as well do mon... ;p
anna ~ It depends on the hotels you talking to. For example, Grand Plaza's 05 price is $30 more per table while Merchant Court's 05 price is same as 04 for weddings till August'05.
Hi jellytots,
Great, u have a AD already.. me later update the chart again. The go back home timing, not stated so I think not impt. the impt timing is reaching the groom house.
The crash horoscope will be the day where the date crash and the opposite horoscope of urs and ur fh horoscope.
Hi duffybuff,
In Bangkok ah~~~ I also wanna go leh.. perhaps in May when fh have training there.. is it safe for girls to walk alone there??
It's ok.. cool.. accountant.. so guess u was in NTU previously eh? me from NTU as well..
oh.. remember to make a call down to you long zi to book for an appt cos his side is always fully packed. Dun make a wasted trip down.
Attached is a list of the particulars. Feel free to add in any more info.<center><table border=1><tr><td>
