Hi Gals.. my GDL went smoothly this morning. They brought loads of things to my place, 4 baskets, 3 shopping bags & others. My parents & me were busy sorting out the stuff. Lucky my hubby called & gave me a checklist of things to keep & return the day before.
Here's the checklist in case any of you need a guide, I find mine very complicated :
1) 8 cans of pig trotters, keep 6 cans, return 2 cans.
2) 2 boxes of mee sua, keep 2 boxes & return 2 boxes of our own.
3) Chinese Biscuits, 2 varieties of 4 packets each, return 6 packets & keep 2 packets of 1 variety each.
4) 18 oranges, keep 10, return 8.
5) 12 cans of abalone, keep 6, return 6.
6) Peanut biscuits, 2 packets of 2 varieties, return half of each variety.
7) 5 types of stuff (dates, scallops, dried goods, etc), return half of each type.
8) 2 boxes of scallops, return 1 box.
9) 2 bottles of Martell Cordon Bleu, retun 1 bottle.
10) 2 bags of sweets, return 1 bag.
11) 1 box of Japanese dried mushrooms, return half.
12) 24 boxes of cakes, return 12 boxes.
13) 1 pair of gold dragon & phoenix bracelets, tied with red strings. Remove red strings & return in red packet & keep the bracelets to be worn on actual day back to groom's house.
14) 2 red packets, keep 1 packet.
15) 2 pairs of dragon & phoenix candles, keep the 2 dragon candles & return the 2 phoenix candles.
My parents kept all the things that were instructed by my hubby's side & we added in more things in their baskets like 2 cans of abalone, 2 bottles of Moet champagne, oranges & candles for praying. We also needed to let them bring back some daily necessities like pillows, bolster, quilt cover, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.
thanx
