Hi Ladies
Need your advices here.
Is it strange to have 2 angbao boxes on the reception table? I have a situation here.
Taking 35 tables for banquet. My PILs are paying for the dinner banquet. My parents have requested for 12 tables (for their friends and relatives) and mentioned that they are not expecting anything else from PILs or us. In this case, does it mean that we should put 2 angbao boxes? One for the 12 tables....One for the other 23 tables??
I thought it will look very weird or even BU DA FANG? This would means that I cannot separate Bride's Reception neatly from Groom's Reception, because tables for my friends and colleagues would also be parked under Groom's side, as the angbaos should go back to my in laws to help cover the expenses.
How should I approach this issue? *sulk*
If I cannot separate Bride's Guests neatly from Groom's guests, can I give guest list of 12 tables to one end, then the other 23 tables to another end? So depending on where the guest checks his/her seat from, he/she would naturally pass the angbao to the helper at the reception table? And then the helper would naturally drop the angbao into the right angbao box at their end?
Sorry if I am not making sense here. Under pressure from MONSTER SIL =( I see her as an uptight/calculative person. Keeps bugging me for my guest list...I think she is worried that my tables will still go to my parents and also very scared her parents will incur alot of expenses for our wedding. She told MIL she wants to sit at the reception table. I was still thinking of planting my lovely (young) girlfriends there lor, now the obasan also wanna join in. I dont want her to be "policing" my helpers or guests on that day =(
