Hello PSH,
I'm also having church+banquet on same day.. will be getting friends to help out as co-ordinator but mostly planning the things by oursleves.. helpers juz help to execute on day itself and ensure all things run smoothly.
Think it's the little details that take up the most time. Like guestlist, seating etc etc. I prefer to have more control over these things than to dump them to a coordinator.

Stnov, doc's prescription works but have to becareful when you stop taking it.
If can find nice cloth at Ikea, the curtain sewing service there is quite cheap. Can check it out first.
So happy! I save quite a bit by printing my own invites. Pro looking at less than $1 per card!
Anyone knows where can I get jordan almonds aka sugared almonds in SG?

Last time, my hubby's colleague's wedding dinner, they had some dancers to perfrom before the dinner starts. And again no one pay much attention.
I feel guests will still prefer the couple to interact with them more.
I actually got an interesting idea. If you and your hubby dont mind not to interact with the guests during reception, can try this:
Missing in action...
Dont appear infront of the guests during reception. Pre record a video showing that both of you are away from the hotel, maybe shopping or still sleeping at home. Then play the video before 1st march-in. Let the guests to think that the couple is missing in action. Then after that, surprise the guests by standing at the ballroom main door.. hehehe..
sorry, abit long winded.

Hi xinyi,
Good choice on favours! The choc almond pills not only look good, they taste yummy too. Attended a wedding there just on Mon, 1 Oct and the couple used that. Decor was very very sophisticated too... think same theme as the same you chose. =)
I think I will be wearing kua.. not good enough figure to wear CS... =(
Yes, I'm thinking of a live band or maybe, a harpist.. either one.. still undecided...
Wah, I feel like there's so much to do and I'm so slow at it...

hi gals! woah so many posts! see until blur haha... ok i will call the ring pillow gal and ask if she has new lambs coming in from her supplier haha.
wow sue marathon for almost 8 years! impressive!! i think i belong to the same category as polarwhite, snowypooh, meiling... cos we all started to plan shortly after getting into the r/s.
for me, i just got to know my fh in March this year. we got together officially as an item in May then after that sometime in Jun/July we were talking abt flats, marriage and our future. In Aug we apply for the HDB balloting exercise and managed to get a flat, then after that went to see geomancer for dates and tada!... that's how we got here today. All within 5mths, we had so much stuff planned. we were going to ROM on 18th Oct next year. I also like 18 Oct 08 date very much, too bad cant get venue i want. but can't bear to give up the date also, so decide to ROM first on 18th Oct
At least 18th Oct is on my marriage cert haha
So i calculated from the day we start holding hands till the day we walk down the aisle next year to say 'I do' will be able abt 18 months (1.5years) just nice keke... but, still havent get my proposal also... waiting waiting...

Hi Nicole, realised your AD date same as mine.
Have to settle your venue asap. Good dates will get snatch up very fast. Furama is one of the popular venue. You can always settle your BS after your venue has settled.
decor part, maybe you can call up some florist and ar ga find out their price range??

hmm.. mine also didn't meet up. I only saw him on the day of my ROM.
usually during the cocktail part, it's when the guests get a chance to take pics n mingle with the guests...
if the bride is hidden away...then....after that, no real chance to mingle and chat liao...
how?
i also wanna chat and take pics with the guests...
wear the EG/CS then, then after a while run up and change to WG for march in!!!
