(2007) Brides of year 2007

andrea, nic....icic...I initially oso tot of having lunch but the date chosen by the geomancer's a Mon so bo bian must have dinner...
Ya $18 is fair enuff cos jiemeis n xiongdis will understand hw much money goes into wedding preparations....they wun mind hw much they get...they'll be most willing to help cos they r suppose to be the couples' best of buddies...

elch>> wow your FH xiongdis a lot leh..keke

nic>>jie mei help in the planning of the sabo plans for the gate crashing.. Not sure for yours.. I will be having one main planner where she will oversee the whole day event to ensure that the necessary jobs/stuff are being executed smoothly... on the wedding day u are suppose to be 'stress-free'.. let your coordinators and your husband do the planning and execution...
 
elch>> Since $18 is the market rate, i suppose is oki la..moreover, i believe that all the sista and xiongdis that help out wont help becos of the money.. but because of the friendship... rite??

thanks eve...now typing duty list and guest list too..so at least have a better idea of who is attending and who else does wat
hehe
 
Eve...ya lor...they noe each other since pri/sec...but dun tink all 10 of them will be present cos I believe some sure cnnt take leave or watever...

initial i tot tat ang bao for helpers quite steep then must save up first...now with the current rate...its ok ..need not worry so much
 
elch: one of my jie mei is married...i dont really bother cos she is my best friend..suppose they will call her the matron of honour..hehe

haha
 
nic...haha...hw much do u tink it is initially?

My jiemeis r nt yet married except for 1 who's getting ROMed in Dec...some xiongdis r married though...
 
i tot 50+

cos i helped in some weddings before and i recd 50 as ang bao...i was thinking if that is the case...wah...ten pple already 500 bucks leh
 
Hi xy,

I'm told in the past, good bye tea will be served to both parents and everyone living under the same household.

ACtually, I feel if your relatives bother to come to your house to "send you off" early in the morning, it's a nice gesture to give them tea too.

What does your fh say about this?
 
Yup, u really need a checklist...

I was trying to tabulate one also.... its 50% done... Just realised my tots r all over the place... Just gotta focus and get things done!
 
eve, heh heh...who knows? =)

i guess when it comes to ang baos...if let's say one of ur jiemeis is helping a lot in terms of planning the AD and stuff, then of coz she deserves more lah. But if they are all generally doing the same, then can give the same lor. Like got friends doing readings for me, some are planning my programme for the lunch, etc..so will give accordingly lor.

elch, doesn't really matter if balanced no. or not just tt balanced looks nicer esp if it's a church wedding =P Like nic said, if one of ur jiemei's is married, and she's the main one she's called the matron of honour. Traditionally bridesmaids are not married but no one really cares =P

They have beautiful gowns too and the service is really good.
 
dear xy: if ut HTB is ok wif it and he noes 4 sure his family wun agree, then perhaps u shld serve to appease ur relatives n hurry over to ur HTB hse to serve tea...

If ur HTB family say y take so long, then can say gatecrashing take long time...

otherwise u may incur the wrath of ur FIL... ur HTB relatives may feel that u dun respect ur Inlaws... even if ur FIL is ok wif it...

Sometimes gossip can kill (eg: ur relatives pressure to ur mom...) similar...
happy.gif
hope it helps.
 
yup, i will be posting checklist in my blog soon...any one wants the check list can submit their email in my blog at top left hand corner... romance-fire.com
 
Hi gals,

Seem like all of you have access to internet in office...; ( poor me can only access at home..sob sob

hey talking about ang bao...I ever receive $2 ang bao as jie mei...and until now our jie mei team still remember that...
 
hi JLee
i'm with LaVie. u need to go down and check it out wr u r comfortable with their style. kinda different, really unique gowns, and unique photoshoots.
so far, service provided has a personal touch which i like but some may feel a bit overwhelming. a different approach from some BS i went too.
it's quite subjective...
 
ok!!! thanks so much gers... i think narrow down to MBR, BV and TWP lor..
work is stressing me out so much that i need to find time to go call also man...

lolz.. so many teachers...i auditor.... hee
