(2006) Brides of year 2006

Dun tink its KS la..I had my cards ready since Aug...then have to tie the 200+ cards ribbons all by myself...cos HB not good at these stuff and friends all bz.

Have you gals ordered the giveaway cakes already? Any good contacts to share? I did some research and find that most cake shops offer the normal cakes with ugly packaging..I am thinking of giving away log cakes since my wedding is on xmas eve...keke...but not sure if there's any cheap and nice ones around..so far the cake shops I asked all told me log cakes pricing not available yet.
 


Diana, how nice! Yours is done and I suppose the rest of us are still scrambling to get more things done. Thanks for sharing the AD program. Realised that mine is gg to drag real late since hubs can only come fetch me from 9am onwards.

designfreak, feel good 'inside', feel good outside. ;-)
 
ting ting - wah that is new! log cakes for ur wedding....Have read thru - most of the ple in forum favour Pines bakery....For me, i will be getting vouchers from Awfully chocolate and post it tog with the wedding card. Save the trouble from going house to house.
 
hi jingles,

i was saying the printing process itself takes only abt 10 days to complete. well its quite late oredi. cos my hotel kickstarted the email to me mid Sep on this. So i just followed the schedule. last 2 mths are reserved for preparation of AD and also chase RSVPs!!!
 
<font color="0077aa">hi jingles, my hotel also kickstarted the process mid aug.. but we only managed to confirm the printing last week. based on the schedule, we are not kiasu lar.. you can go print cards liao.. coz you still need time to write them =)

do you ladies mean that you must give cakes along with your invites? for all the guests?</font>
 
panda - hur....hmm then this week hubby comes out of reservist must discuss liao. Cakes only for female side relatives...if not wrong lar..cos i never see male side giving before.
 
Angel~ I tot you want to do long wan, hehe! i still haven't print my insert yet, hopefully this weekends the layout can come out!
Ting, you must be clever on tighting the ribbons. I try tight the empty insert with ribbon, really hard leh!
 
ffbear, wow.. italy and switzerland.. tt's great.. how many days are u going? with which travel agent?
6 sets of undergarments?? wow.. undergarments more ex than tops leh..

seems like many of u gals going to europe.. me also want to go too.. planning for next year summer, but don't know if my pocket allows me to do so.. keke. cos really too broke after wedding

silentelf, I going to hokkaido but in mid dec.. how many days r u going?

Nami, wow.. RSVP almost done?? great... I hope I can reach your stage too.

Ivy, no problem.. if you go hokkaido har.. go during summer time.. tt's the best time to go there. u can get to see lots of flowers and the scenery should be very very nice.. My hb loves japan that he wants to go back this time. think the next time we visit japan will be many yrs later. keke

Jen T, me too.. collecting my cards this weekend.. So happy.

hi panda - the ans is yes. done during GDL. but cos i am using cake cards. so will issue cake cards with invite. my GDL is too near AD so cannot. mummy okayed it.
happy.gif


happy - 150 is ok. reasonable for 2nd look. if 150 for mummy MU will be TOO EX. but depends on ur MUA. if u feel her MU is good 150 is not too much to pay ya for making u pretty. so up to indiv.

318bi - no lah.. hee hee me waiting for template to be out also. once i approve ok.. printing will be done.
happy.gif
 
<font color="0077aa">happy, i think 150 is ok.. i knew one that charges 500.. *faint* but like wat angel said, its up to individual preference if you think the mua is worth that much.

abt the cake thingi, is it the same one that my mum asked from my bf?? but she only ask for 20boxes.. not enough for relatives leh.. does it mean i have to top up for more?</font>
 
hi pandalic...

yes..the cakes are those that ur mum requested from ur bf's family.... usual practice is only give to close relatives...

for myself... i'l be getting those cards...then they redeem themselves...so that they will collect when they wan it...

as for how many..depends on how big ur family is... usually is 1 cake/card per family... usually the gal's family will ask for the actual no. of cakes/card they need... nv heard of gal side topping up for more b4 though... =)

<font color="0077aa">hi kai, thanks for the info.. asked my mummy liao.. she said the 20boxes of teochew biscuits/sweets/cake (watever you call it) only for symbolic purposes.. i not having GDL also.. so yupz.. i guess i dun have to worry abt that.. =)</font>
 
hi angeldust and pandalic,

for second march in,is at most 15 mins only to change to EG and touch up,is there enough time?my hb think for 15mins $150 is ex,at first she 1 $200...i dunno whether to take or not,haha,once in a lifetime event,maybe i should take...
 
hi Jen, ffbear,

I'll be flying on 12 Dec (check-in at Changi on 11 Dec). Hehs...so probably can't catch u gals in here before I leave...
 
wowww happy $150 is really quite a bit.. same MUA doing for you before your 1st march in??? most likely change the hairstyle.. touch up your makeup so you will look fresh... and then change color of eye shadow/ lipstick.. hmm to me dont really justify the $,.. but then again,...its really up to individual ...

Hi Ladies

I just went to do treatment for my hair yesterday evening, that stupid salon cheat my money again. Said my hair do treatment is $75 dollar and said my hair scalp is oily do another treatment for my hair scalp end up another $25 dollar. Total $100 dollar gone from my pocket. I touch my hair only a bit soft, nothing special. I won't step into that lousy shop again.

By the way, if I feel the treatment is not good, can I go to any salon to redo again? Can the treatment be so close together? And how long does a treatment last usually? A few days, a few weeks or what.

I also intend to do a facial yesterday, but my friend advised me not to, she said after doing facial. There will be little red marks on the face and it takes a few days for the red marks to go away. I never do facial at salon so I don't know. I only use my own facial and toner to wash my face. So consider mountain turtle . Ha Ha Ha...

Tonight, I will be collecting all my gowns and hubby's suits. Excited and happy at the same time.
Time is so fast.

All the best to all 7th Oct brides and bridegrooms.

Take Care

Regards
Michelle

<font color="0077aa">happy, it depends on yourself lar.. there will be sufficient time for 2nd march in.. you dun have to use your bridal suite.. i changing in the mini function room next to the ballroom..

prinzess, i cant wait to see mine too.. wahahha.. so all's ready?

ribbons, the 150 is top up for the mua to do a second look for yourself.. usually, you are only entitled to one look for the evening.. but some brides like to have a second look so must pay extra..

angel, wah like tat, wun you have to pay a lot for the cake cards leh.. siong hor?</font>
 
Angel~insert won't take time, let printer to do it. The headache wan is tight the insert with the ribbon.....very hard for to tight the ribbon, cz the ribbon too short for me...have to ask jiemei to help...You get your log cake at Pine garden?Where the location?

Prinzess~ you are right, mostly jiemei is my ex-classmates!How about you? I have quite a lot Jiemei leh, because 1 big 'gang'. If ask one to be, have to ask the rest!

Happy~You MUA charge you second march-in $150?
 
Hi Jace

I think no one has the thank you speech. I already ask them already. I think someone reply me that thank you speech is just a few sentences.

Most probably, my hubby will thank all the guest for coming, and thanks all the wedding helpers.

I will thank our parents and his mum for bringing us up. Thanks for helping us with the moving house thingy.


I also not very sure, who else do I need to thank?

Regards

The parents are meeting only this Sat to "ti-qin', but my hotel nv do any follow-up with me lei.. =(

Guess will have to ask my jie mei how much time they need.. hehe...
 
318, am making my own invite now.. alot of work... printing using laser printer, cut them using paper cutter, stick &amp; cut again &amp; then wrap with translucent paper &amp; tie in the middle with ribbons...

am now at the translucent paper stage.... 200 invites to do at least...
 
Hi ladies, Please advise that my hubby or me to give ang pow to my JieMeis,beside my husband give the open door ang pow? Actually who have to give ang pow for JieMei? Or I need to buy present to them?
 
Diamond, *fainted*, alot of work wor... your banquet didnt provide you the insert paper? Actually I was thinking to use the laser printer since I have the inserts already(alreay cut nicely and have hole to tight ribbons), just print it. But I worry the line will out leh....
 
linda, tt's so fast.. i have not collect my inserts also..

ffbear, yaya.. wedding used up most of my wedding esp house..

JenT, wow, I think by the time Nov comes, many gals will disappear by mid nov cos most of us here going for holiday.. poor me have to count down with the rest.. keke
 
318, do not wan the normal invites. wanted something more special. something like the tulip range at www.theweddinggiftshop.com.sg

yes, u can print yourself using laser printer. but u need to get the alignment right loh... i spent alot of time on the alignment.. try it out on normal papers first

well... i have to punch my own holes somemore since i am making my own invites!
 
318bi - for ang pows jie mei..normally is given by the bride side lor. Presents is normally given after the church ceremony...or even better still heard before the bride buy dresses for the jie meis....

diamond - u print urself?? wah......very very tedious leh..
 
hi all gd afternoon.

panda - ya.. this was the arrangement I had with mum long time back. hee
happy.gif
so its ok. so as long she happy i also happy. the cake box only 8 box. wun cost a bomb ya?

318bi - eh.. think prinzess meant i gave her the link. i din order logcake from pine garden leh.. funni who said i order cake from pine garden?? HA HA HA H AHA.. blur blur.. ya.. that is the tough part.. think mummy, daddy me and hubby will sit down at dining table to do bah.. more pple more hands then form a production line. one put insert one tie ribbon one write name one put inside envelope. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

AP issue - the AP is all kept with ur hubby but for ur JMs, caterers at ur mummy hse.. u might wanna give one on ur own. so depends. whether u wanna buy pressie or give AP. up to u.

jo - i am using apple computer so if u ask me to teach u u gotta have the same software as me. so i dunno how to advise if u are using PC.
happy.gif


diamond - gd luck with the handiwork.

jungles, yes, i print myself using laser printer, cut, paste &amp; cut again... 200 invites completed so far. now is at the wrapping stage &amp; tying. once that is done, is writting the invite &amp; sending them,

angledust, thanks. as for the cakes, we only need abt 8 boxes also. BUT my mum said, got to ask for a few boxes more, as the bride's side cannot keep all the boxes the guy's side gives. got to return some. so maybe we will ask for 10 boxes &amp; return 2 boxes
 
wah diamond.... thats tough work man!!
originally fh and i wanted to print the inserts and church invites ourselves till we had two friends that shared with us their problems encountered when they did their own.... they had to do all the cutting and all.. but the most headache one is the alignment.. we were convinced. Rather pay then do all the work outselves..... kudos to you for the hard work!!

angeldust: yeah, i already tell my jie meis to be prepared to be production line workers when they cards are ready...
 
I saw the nice cupcakes on website as well..but super ex..think $3-$4 per cupcake. Maybe can consider order from those neighbourhood stores then buy your own box from those giftshops lo.

You gals saw the wedding cookies from Whitelink? It was featured on TV before..from Taiwan but super ex..$40 per box. If only here is like Japan or Taiwan where the packaging are all so nice..then can just buy some off the shelf snacks. For me, besides giving to relatives, me and HB will be bringing some to office for colleagues lo..as a way of informing them I am getting married and also take the chance to distribute the invitation since everyone will be crowding around the cakes then. Keke..

For the inserts..I printed mine with Lil-Art..$120 for 200pcs on tracing paper..not sure if its cheaper than what you gals are getting.

2 more months to dec...still got tons of things to prepare...yet to book the airtix for my honeymoon..btw, anyone going to europe for honeymoon? Like to know what are the necessity stuff to bring over since after our wedding in dec will be quite cold there.
 
Linda, that is fast. I havent send out the cards yet. Will write them this weekend keke.

Blur, dun worry I will still be here in mod nov. End nov then I will disappear hee.
