HI Jascmy,
err.. i dont remember T dragon need us to go down and view sample again before printing. its all via email when they send out the artwork for us to approve.. so printing is fast too.. std time they told me is 10 working days (exclude sat & sun). I submit only on 1st jul.. next friday can get liao.. hehe.. can't wait to see the card..

Windy, im feeling very free too. Haha! But stress up after my fren told me his printin company require 1mth+ for the invitation cards. So now, we're tryin to draft up the guest list. Confirm table den proceed with the printing.

I've just book my MUA cos my BS is from Malaysia. And i'm also searchin for Jiemeis dresses online. Hopefully can get good deal.

Hello all Nov BTBs..

Is about 4 months 2 weeks left for me
happy.gif


We are quite slow in our preparation.

Next up on my list
1. Order wedding bands
2. Prepare for PS
3. Do the printing for wedding cards
4. Draft guest list

I think we would start to do up excel spreadsheet on the itinerary and helpers' duties in Sept/ Oct.
Planning to do food tasting in Oct too.

Other than wedding, we are also quite busy with the housing.

Hi stiobes, yah... better not to go anywhere due to H1N1. I came back and got 7 days LOA issued even when I only transited in HK. At least got some time to work from home. hehe

We didn't get a new place so I'm currently staying with my new mummy. Everything is ok for me cos I have a good relationship with her. hehe

Can anyone advise when shd the GDL be for Oct brides huh? Muz we find an auspicious date for tat?
Also, is it necessary for Si Dian Jing from my in-laws? since eventually it'll b paid by my HTB.. I heard the tradition is for Teochew brides only? Both me n HTB are Hokkiens..

Bryce,
Hws ur selection? did u top up for extra pics? any pics to share??


Mer,
it depends de. For me, is i get shifu to calculate my AD date, thus he also give me my GDL date. normally is need to b auspicious date for u both lar.

Depends on ur parents whether they need or nt. Its part of GDL items. so c wat ur parents require. now SDJ not only for teochew lor. if ur parents dun require it to b part of ur GDL items. then no need lor.

Thanks Mashi, Selection was fun..

But luckily my BTB kept focus and determined on not to top up and in the end, we kept within the package...

It was tough not to top up, but we were quite delighted and felt a sense of accomplishment when there was no top up in the end....

gals! Had my photos selection too! No top up! Woohoo....infact we were short of 5 photos, so had to go through the "KIV" lot again! Haha...the photos are fine actually, juz tat my hubs & I are more neow in scrutinizing the pix! probably his little knowledge of photography helps, plus got 1 hairdo I don't really like, so eliminated most of that batch. Our coordinator seems disappointed that we no top-up! haha
