(photographer,cameraman,jie mei, xiong di,purchase of wine all done).
 
Piggy, that's usually the case right? Mine's considerably better seeing how they are building new condo units on the Bukit tImah Hill like 1km away....Work almost 24/7...bleh......

happy: i think their opening hours are the same everyday.. 10:30am- 9:30pm..

just came back from JB... so tired.. but we settled on our cards liao.. but took some time.. cos they did the art work on the spot to let us see, and they drew the map themselves, following the map we gave them... umm... becos of this art work, we started at 3:30pm, we were only done about 7plus... but we managed to get all our invitations done.. not just inserts lah.. =)

are you referring to inserts? i am not too sure if they have one day service or not? and i dont think they will help to tie strings... But i can do that service for you.. i tie string very perfectionist one and i charge cheap cheap one.... heee...
 
Jean, never lah. Cos' it was just me and Pink Bunny. Then hor, I think I got to do last minute stuff and so did she so we scrapped lor.
lol.gif


So how, when Pink Bunny come back, who's on to go out for dinner?
 
hi jen, at least u hve completed one more task again, foodtasting. Some ppl r like tat they like to think so long b4 they can decide whether to attend. hve u given them a dateline to reply ? do follow up wif those whom hve not reply thru sms again. mayb they are busy when u drop them sms/email and they forgot to reply.
 
wah, all different one...hahaha, think we will stick to charly "logic" theory since tats what his mom say... dun wan her to scream at us on that day. :P
 
Hi Gals,
Same here for me....some pple just doesnt reply my sms
sad.gif
I dun know why....I wonder have they change their nos, are they in overseas? haha...but will still follow up with them hee.
Jen, that is good you have 1 thg settled. I havent had my food tasting and discuss abt GDL yet....headache man haha.
 
Hi Tingz

All are different. Guess also depend on timing bah. So all have different arrangement on actual day.


Hi Everyone

Do anyone has a " Thank You Speech" to email to me? I need to say a "thank you speech" at my wedding dinner on 7th october 2006. This is what my hubby's xiong dis told him during their meeting session last week. Can anyone tell me what is a "Thank You speech"? And where can I get a sample of the "Thank You speech"? Very anxious and nervous now. Please please help me.


Another problem is my coseages. One of my friends promise to help me to make before 7th october 2006. She went to buy the materials already, but now she told me she is unsure whether she can finish it on time or not. What should I do now? Can I pay her the money for the materials? How much should I pay her? And quickly ask another friend to make it for me now? Is it too rush???


Thank You So Much

Regards

Hi,

For me, after my HB come and fetch me, we will go to my new place 1st to 'RU FANG' then go to my IL home. Mmmm actually depends on the groom side lor, if they prefer u to go to their home 1st then u must follow, if they have no objection toward going to ur new house 1st then u can see which one is more convenient.... In my case, my new hse is in Jurong West but both our parents is staying in the east so we will do the travelling 1st then can rest longer mah. Instead of rushing to and fro of east n west of s'pore Another reason is the relatives need not have to 'report' too early :D.

Linda, i will be getting my inserts this wkend too. me har, simply too lazy to tie those gold strings, so i pay more and ask the printers to tie and fold the inserts for me...

Nami, you not alone.. i have not have my food tasting yet. anyway, i asked my mum, she say no need GDL, no need meipo, everything no need.. keke.. soooo nice.. at least i can save up a bit of my money and time too.

Anyone out there feeling very excited as The Day draws nearer? I have been sleeping lesser and lesser each day and wakes up every morning feeling very happy and excited.

Hi Maez,
I don't intend to do until so fancy. I think I want to do away with the cake cutting ceremony and champagne ceremony. Don't hold any significance leh. So only 1st march in. When I come back from change of gown, oso no march in. Just slip in and on the way can mingle with the guests a bit. Everything simple simple can liao.

Eh, got an idea. Nowadays the mooncake boxes all very nice, can disguise a bit, cut a hole, can be Ang Pow box liao!
 
Hi Daman,
Actually you can check with your muslim frens if they mind sitting with chinese and got pork dishes. I did that. My fren actually said he dun mind as long as he dun eat the dishes with pork can liao. But you oso have to take into consideration if they are the really pious muslim. Usually if they are the really open minded kind, they are ok with it.
 
hey jen

you may want to consider this option.

if you have only 10 pax per table but only 9 seats taken, you can get your coordinator to add an additional seat to that table. Thus effectively filling up all the seats without breaking up the group.

blur,

thanks for the email. will check later.

nami and blur,

dun worry. I learnt from my own preps that communication is the key. If you are around during the negotiations for the GDL, etc. Keep para-pharsing for parents from both sides.

My GDL nearly became an ugly event because of mis-communication. Am crossing my fingers that our parents would not turn against each other, due to 1 person's fault.
 
ivy, har?? sounds bad and serious leh.. anyway, keep fingers cross.. communicate more and everything will b over soon.. keke

jen T, i hope too. i hope i did not miss out anything.
 
hi ivy..
u r sayin 11 ppl per table??
i tot of tis before.. but then not veri nice.. cz ppl tend to "talk behind" ... cz it shd b 10 per table.. but when u put 11.. ppl wil also feel that u r tryin to save $ .. ;p .. hmm ..
 
Hi Diana,
Really have to say thanks to your itinerary is of great help to me. All the best for your wedding, of course enjoy!

Btw is all your gowns in order?
 
hi 318bi.. long time no see.. wedding planning moving into 3rd gear already, next week when my assignments are done can move into 4th gear liao... =) just hope i dont move into reverse gear.. haha...
how are your preps coming along?
 
jen, when you put 11 ppl in one table, you need to top up one person's share in $ to the hotel. at least this is whats happening to my hotel leh..

ivy, calm down the parents, and talk more... fingers cross....

my GDL will be 10 days before my AD, and food tasting will be 6 OCt. hopefully, both side parents can get along with each other.... fingers cross...
 
Hi Ribbons, me only on 1st gear!just done the ps on last friday, waiting to view the photos, quite excited leh!Now doing the inserts, waiting FMIL to read the chinese wording... That's right! don;t move into reverse gear!haha.....
 
Hi Jen,
This was what i heard too...that need to top up another peron's $$$...but i have not checked with my hotel yet. I have thot of putting 11 per table for those groups that i really dun have a choice...but well...see how my rsvp goes first. Keeping my fingers cross man!
 
Jen

ok lar, personal view. But if I were to choose between paying for 1 additional seat at the table and paying for 1 additional table, I definitely go for the individual seat.

Cos I feel either way, my pocket has to bear the brunt. If people want to talk about it, I have no control over what they say, but I know that they have been happy that night, cos they are not separated from the rest of the group.
 
hi gurls.. icic.. i haven chk it out.. cz i tot all along my hotel doesnt charge an indiv xtra pax if its 11 in one table.. hmm .. but mayb i wil chk it out bah..
 
hi beatrice,

u r welcome. the gown huh...last evening went to try...nw the chest portion too big, so they go amend then cum out bigger *faint* then my EG was nt return by the dry cleaning shop as per wat whitelink claim. then last evening, realise short of one jacket the other BIL hv chosen *sweating* heng in the end found the record they taken down on their fitting...

haha...beside all these small small hicups, we are still pleased wif their service lah....guess wat, they allow me to take the car which i hv opt out initially wifout the nid of additional $$. i mean, if one opt out, u get refund of $200 but if later u wan it back, u shld hv to pay $480, but they let me hv it at $200 instead.

so my bridal car settle...ooopss..ya...last min. one of the brother who is the bridal car driver cum we are borrowing his car got CHICKEN POX...so hv to look for other car lor....

so last nite, in the end, we only collect my sis and SIL gown, one black suit for my hubby + the accessories i chose from them nia.

the rest we will hv to go back 2molo to pick up liao....

xiaobai, there is no nid to prepare a thank you speech one. u only nid to tink of who u wan to thk and say nia....for us, we are nt preparing the speech coz it will look un-natural...so the plan is my hubby will say in english to thks (1) all guest for attending (2) thk all helpers for their help thru out the day then i will take over and say in chinese (3) thks both side parent for raising us up and providing us all the support thru out the years.

tingz, the most safe is to alway follow wat ur MIL say....

Mine is 30/12.

Wow the Big Day is coming but i really dunno what i still need to do leh. Sian
