Hi Shir,
Have u booked ur hotel for AD? usually they will provide a sample of the sequence in the contract package and even a sample of the thank-you speech right?
Actually u can consider projecting the photo-montage (old time photos) during the time while awaiting guests to arrive. cos during this time is also during the cocktail reception. i plan to do that, cos my PG&VG package has a video express highlight and also an animation video. and photo montage, we trying to do our our own.. my HTB will do. hahaha..
my coordinator mentioned that a couple she served projected their photo montage outside the ballroom instead, which entertains the guests during the cocktail reception before the doors open for seating.
and erm rest of the BTBs, sorry ah i think i over-stated my PG&VG package price. keep thinking that mine very ex. haha actually it's $3.8K la. full package -> PG, VG, video express and animation. hee.
germaine: animation is about 3 to 5mins.
cherie: i agree, for convenience and safety, i'd choose local BS since it's baokaliao and if *touchwood*, got screw ups, i got more faith in local BS to work sth out fast. n i doubt they will run away with money. not saying that in china they'l do that, but so far away, u pay already u won't get ur 5 dresses within ur holiday there lor! if i had the option of going to china, i'd opt to make an EG (cheongsam) and maybe a kua or nice knee-length cheongsam. my 2 cents worth.
