morning gals...
well, i think I still got more things to do. song selection, AD programs, emcee speech, writing invites all not done yet. I have not started writing my invites yet cos I planning to send out invites less than 3 weeks before the wedding. I agree with Debbie, this wkend is long weekend, will be more fruitful. I will be having my food tasting session on monday, and will bring my mum to buy her dress.
Jen T, you can go try zara.. I last time bought some nice shirt with slight shimmers for my HB. not sure they still carry such shirts now. Go give it a try.
as for the corsages, she collected long time cos her wedding was 2 wks ago. She still having her honeymoon now. most prob I will get the corsages from her early Nov when she return. So u can collect from me then.
By the way, what do we need to buy on the actual day eh?? my MIL asked me to buy those "long feng" candles, combs (then must tie red string" etc...
any one as any idea? can please advise me and where I can get them? Thanks ya

Sob...think i gng to faint. Juz found out that my FPIL 39 tables of guest list r all juz their intended guests! Meaning they din actually call to check if these ppl r confirm coming or not!
Don't think this should b the way rite? I don't dare to imagine if most of their guest din turn up then how?!

Diamond~wow, I wish I can finish tying ribbons soon.
Matsu~ops, I also face same problem with you, MIL guest list haven't come out yet, even the relatives also haven't inform, last 2 months I already to 'force' my hb to chase his mum to call relatives to save the date. MIL just started call on last Sunday, end up just called 3 familys because already 'talk' whole Sunday night! And come back to us said moslty relatives will travelling on dec....fainted!

samkoh.... so how? wanna consider the taiwan trip or not? the departure date u sure can make it one cos our AD the same.... email me? [email protected]
matsu/318, shld hv done a perliminary headcount for guests before u confirm the minimum tables with the hotel.
the way i did was, how many guests wld i be expecting then i multiply by 80% attendence. say come up to 20 tables, i will then confirm min 18 tables & 2 spare tables with the hotel. but, i will also check the maximum capacity the ballroom can accomodate... if i hv 100% turn out of my guests.. the ballroom must be able to accomodate the no. of tables.
hotel usually wans u to confirm the min tables & 2 spares. the actual no of tables only need to confirm 1 week before the AD after the guests have RSVP.
that was how i did it the other time

ribbons, well.. am very fussy when it comes to quality... similary, the invites are all printed on laser printer... similarly, i will do the same for the map... photocopier print one not as good...
but i will use the photocopier to photostat the wedding service booklet instead.. coz that one, no sensible person will use laser printer to print..

Sigh...i thou they have contacted their guest b4 giving us the guest list
Juz found out that they don't do save the day kinda arrangement, will juz send out the invitation & will only know if they turn up or not @ dinner!! Think the old folks consider asking their guest if they r coming is rude?!

318bi: invitations cards, iave the date cards and inserts collected from T&T already.... going to start tying and writing names soon..
gosh i am so angry with four seaosn catering man.... i initially shortlisted this company, to be a caterer for the church high tea reception..
I had sent them an email 2 months ago and countless emails from then till recently. NO REPLY from them, NO Phone call.. such 'prompt' reply... nvm.. pple say they have good food and the portions are good.. so will still give them another chance. i called gave them a courtesy call yesterday to ask how come no reply from them. I was very nice in my call. The girl that answered my call reassured me that her colelauges (any one of the wedding coordinators) will call me back within the same day (which was yesterday). No call.
Today 1030am then i get a call from one of them...
then after i tell her my date, how many guest i wanna cater for and my requests to customize a package, she say oh its new year period, cannot customize. MUST follow their set. Or take their ala carte hi tea package, but when i asked if there will be decor, she says no. then what for i take.
I didnt bother to talk further i just told her "sorry, then i will strike four season off my list then. thank u."
sigh.. i hold back all these cos i wanted to get quotes from all my shortlisted caterers first..... waste 2 months of my life waiting for them.... why couldnt they just answer my many emails? I use my coporate email and hotmail to send leh... and if the email on the site isnt a functioing one then why put it online?
they were very unwilling to do anything more for me, not even asking to hear what i needed for requested customized menu....

ribbons, 4seasons is not the only caterer who does not reply to emails prompty. Lavish also. we are using Lavish. B'coz deco is nice & food is good. but i think biz these upcoming mths are very good.. so they are very biz.. hence, response time will be slow!!
it also took me 2 weeks to get the confirmation order after we met Lavish.
yes, church booklet is 5-6 pages.. am using ivory papers to print. already bought 3 rims of that papers from fancy papers. but the cover will be in GOLD... also bought from fancy papers

318, dun wait. just call them. they are very biz. you have to push them. i did after taking over from FH. he is too easy with them & it is taking too long a time.
i just confirmed the order. hv decided to use Lavish b'coz the food is good... and the deco is pretty too.. they will be using tealights & fresh flowers to deco as our buffet is in an enclosed aircon area.. so can play with the lighings.
also, they are not charging us when we request for pre-set up the day before.
and they will be deco the place using the colour theme i wanted
