hi soudez,
if the chinese not eating pork, it wouldn't be a problem. don't worry lah, wedding mah, i am sure your malay friends will understand. we only have 2 malay friends and they are sitting with the chinese as well, and they told us they are perfectly fine as long as they are not the ones eating pork dishes.
hai... just go word from my mom, she suddenly wants to increase from 3 tables to 4.5 tables. very frustrating! ok, losing 1.5 tables more of ang bow money is part of the probem, but the bigger problem now is that my hotel ballroom cannot accomodate anymore tables, so we have to cut down our friends. =(
and the best buy... this ex-neighbour who had been very nice to me, and treating FH very well when he stayed with them for a few months decided not to give us ang bow money but planning to get us a fridge(coz they knew we were moving in dec). my dream fridge is over $3k, but if the family is giving me a $500 fridge i'm happy with it too! so she called my mom since she is sitting under 'her table', but guess what my mom told her? "aiyah, give them ang bow can already lah..." wait a minute, since when my mom helps me decide what gifts i want for my wedding?

Hi,
Saw that some of you interested to look for MUA. My MUA for bridal studio photoshot is Elaine or Eileen. I quite like her make-up. She's a freelance make-up artist for my bridal studio. Me and my hubby strongly recommend her. Her number is 90013233.
May be helpful for those looking for corsage or intend to own diy:
Having promotion now at $2 or $2.50 for corsage but not much design to choose from.

Hi Ladies
Wow
Me too also didn't give much to my jie mei, cause still got the gate crashing hongbao and I also buying coseages for them too for them to wear at wedding banquet.
I am going shopping with them tonight to decide the dress colour code for the morning event. For night time dinner banquet, they can wear any colour that they like.
By the way, I am not working, so hope that they understand that my financial status is a bit tight. And I also need the money to get the presents for my parents and my younger brother and some new accessories when I am in korea during the honeymoon trip. Hee Hee
Time flies, now only left 2 weeks 6 days left.
How are u all feeling????
Take Care
Regards

Hi blurblur, Nami.. i had the same kind of dreams too.. i dreamt tat hubby came to my hse late.. and i realise i have not send out the invitation cards only on the AD! yeah.. i think this is pre-wedding syndrome.. ;p
hey gals.. i understand that some brides would buy things for their PIL as a gesture.. anyone doing that? I know some would give flowers on the AD. If we are buying gifts, anyone know when do we pass them the gifts? before AD or during tea session? weird to give during tea session rite?

hi charly.. haha, guess ur mum more practical bah... =p
Hi Tansy, keep your cool.. you are still new... hv confidence in urself and give urself sometime to learn..
Let's say $50 for each JM.. there will be oso other angpows received from the newly weds and both parents.. so shd be acceptable liao bah...
(e.g. $50(gatecrashing)+$10(frm newly wed)+$10(frm bride's parents)+$10(frm groom's parents)=$80) reasonable rite?

guess it is up to individual couple ba...coz i remember the last time i do jie mei for my frenz, there is no individual ang bao from the couple beside the gatecrashing but of coz got ang bao from both side parent lah....then the total ang pao include gatecrashing is abt $50 lor...
for us, i tink we are nt gifing individual ang pao to jie mei liao...coz we are gifing them in other form mah...like make up and hairdo etc...

But if any of u girls/guy know anywhere in JB does hotstamping. do let me know as well k?
Thank u!!

Hi Ling,
When is your AD? Hmm, dun be stress. Like what blur said, start with your wedding prep first. And if you really need help, maybe you can try asking your sisters for help? I am sure they will be willing to help
Hi silentelf,
I have been to dinners where the couple usually present the gifts to both sides PIL after their speech.
Hi Blur,
I intend to RSVP earlier leh coz I intend to meet up my frens in groups and give them the invites. So gotta plan ahead. If possible, intend to minimise the mailing. Coz, felt that it's more sincere that way. Besides, start of Oct will be very busy with work so no time to do all this.

yo... car
for fuel efficiency.. what about Honda 1.8 or the new 1.6.. we got honda 1.6 (that time no 1.8 yet although it was coming in soon and then COE price started to fall ... ha sian. )instead of Mazda 3 bec better fuel E and also better pick up..
pandalic: yeah, i saw their printing b4.... their so called matt gold printing looks like brown.. me not so bothered about the hotel inserts, as long as details correct can liao... me more bothered about church invite.. but thanks so much for alerting me... will keep this in mind and ask them.. hey, can do me a favour, can help me ask your friend, did he ened to bring the actual template for them to print, or could they help with the wording?
i keep thinking about the inserts, cos the samples i ahve now is rectangular shaped, but my cards are sqaure.. you think they will adjust the size or do i have to do it on my own... thanks pandalic in advance.. *hug*
cool: i dont have my template with me now.. sorry.. its somewhere... and its hard copy..

<font color="0077aa">hey prinzess, fuel consumption of honda civic 1.8 and mazda 3 sp20 is similar.. currently i know they are running at abt 10km/litre (prior to tuning).. was deciding between these two and chose the latter coz of personal preference.. but fh's fren took 1.8
you should try the honda 1.8 model.. i like it better than the 1.6.. i heard that mazda 3 1.6 is underpowered so pick up not so good.. but the sp20 model is great.. =)
ribbons, i asked.. kekeke.. he gave them the template in adobe photoshop.. coz he designed his own.. i think you dun have to pull your hair out on this.. since they are the printers and you are doing the conventional ones, they should do the layout for your approval prior to them printing actually.. =)
erm, alternatively, you may just want to print with the local printers? think the price diff is ok if it helps to reduce your load.. dun stres out k? </font>

hi ribbons,
besides TnT,did u try out another printing shop in city square?which 1 is better in terms of printing quality?

pandalic: thanks... =) but seeing our budget, i think i suffer this headache over the inserts might be worth it.. =) but as you say since they are printers should be ok.. they've done printing for many other weddings in spore too.. (fullerton, raffles, hyatt... etc)
happy: T&T was the best. there is one on the opposite side of the buildin.. but think the service there not as good as T&T...they do a lot of other kinds of printing (name cards, calenders, mugs.) not like T&T focus mainly on cards... oh, and the other one didnt offer envelopes for my church invite.. T&T does.
