Diamond/Ribbon~I went to Textile Centre bought the ribbon and flowers. But I don't think I can do the wrist cossage nicely leh...can't trust my DIY... Ha Ha Ha
 
Hi

Can i check with u gals when do u give out the invitation cards to the relatives? Cos my MIL says 2 weeks in advance can already. she dont want to confirm with the relatives how much pple are coming until 2 weeks in advance. Will it be too late for me to make changes with the hotel if i need to increase tables?
My MIL n FIL have increased from 12 tables to 15 tables as of now.
 
Babyshannon~ it's alright for relatives, hotel allow to change before 1 week of AD. As long as your ballroom can fix the tables, no worry wat!

Hi ladies,

MY GDL is next sat... from this weekend onwards busy weekend for me le ...

went to choose my theme and wedding favour.. like my wedding favour ( cup coaster)

headache of the seating plan...

anything i miss out????
 
ribbons... oh.. i thought tie insert is easy :p ... bought silver thread liao so will do it ourselves...

318bi... i bought the flowers and ribbons from arab street to DIY wrist corsage too...also dunno how to make... the shop auntie taught me: put glue to stick the flower to ribbon can liao... simple and nice... then i add some thinner ribbon to decorate... not as difficult as i thought...

babyshannon... my GDL is late nov, abt 2 weeks before AD, then parents will give out cards and cakes.. shd be no problem increasing table just 1 week before, but better check with your hotel again...
 
gals... ask u all ah... when do we give ang pao to MUA, VG, PG? at night or in the morning? scare give in morning, if they think ang pao too small then do a bad job at night hahaha..
 
WaiWai~Actually that day I went down to Arab Street, but can't find the shop :p so I went to textile centre lor! The auntie also taught me how to glue
happy.gif


Apple~I almost bought the GDL stuff, left some 'small small things', mum will settle for me
happy.gif
 
Waiwai, I tot give then on the morning wor, bride and groom side also have to give them right?
happy.gif
How much should we give them har? I was thinking give a token only wor!
 
apples, i leaving on Jan 1... not exactly immediately after AD? =) about 8 days so we will be back around 8/ 9th jan... whenur hubby doing reservist? ask him to request lah, i had another friend, reservist the week after his AD, he request and said he just got married, they approve.... so maybe u wanna try? =)

waiwai: not easy lor...haha..

my PG has a seat cos he's a friend, so we are inviting him... but if its a PG that u are paying... he is def not going to give an ang bao to cover his share of the table and instead u got to pay him also... hmm, then i say dont invite...

ang bao for PG/ VG/ MUA.... just give them a toke sum like $8 or $10 can liao lah... just yi shi yi shi only mah..

Hi ribbon,

318bi

Yoyo all,
my wedding also finally over on Sunday!!! really enjoyed myself that day... though i had to wake up at 430am (slept at 2am), i wasn't really tired at all.... until monday! =)
 
Ribbon~ Now I still thinking want to give a seat for PG or not
happy.gif
of course no ang pow cover lor, we paid for the PG ma.. quite expensive lar for 1 seat...

Apple~my mum no need give AP for PG/VG?

Diamond~you know lar, my DIY very poor! my insert tying with the ribbons, all done by my hb, he siad never see lady can make such ugly art work leh (mean the ribbon tying not nice) ...Glue will not nice like sew right?
 
Hi 318bi,

I have heard that parent from the bride or bridegroom will give ap to jie mei as a token but not sure PG & VG.

Of course i also heard of parent from the bride or bridegroom never give. So i think it really up to individual.

Anyone can advise us?
 
Hi,

Can check with all BTB, what is the actual procedure on the wedding day? My hubby can only step out of his house after 11am to come to fetch me and the timing is really tight as I need to be back at my new house by 4pm to do make up for the wedding dinner. Does anyone has similar experience? As I'm a cantonese, we are supposed to bring the roast pig back to the groom's side? but is it to be sent back to the groom's family or our new house? Really getting a headache trying to fix all the timing.

Thanks
 
25 Nov bride,

anyone got mum's sister known as guihua? Think my san bo mo, her sister side got daughter getting married on the same day as me... so want to check whether it is the any of u
happy.gif
 
318bi... think sewing the flower to the ribbon is better than glue... in the end i sew also.. the shop is at the end of arab street, near plaza park royal hotel... but they close on sunday

ang pao for PG, VG and MUA think $8 enough liao... 1 ang pao will do fir each of them... just a token

apple... tat time when i was my friend's jie mei, her dad gave us ang pao...
 
Wow Charly

You are so strong, sleep at 2am. Can wake up at 4.30am. I cannot wake up if I sleep so late.

I also want to play MJ, anyone can teach me for free?

Regards

if i were to hire a PG..... it would be nice of us to offer a seat to him, but they def will not give us ang bao lor.... hmm... dont leave lor, since the chair will be empty anyway.. give it to another guest lor..

kai: u didnt meh? or ur printers had pre tied strings to slip in to the cards?
