Hi all BTB,

My AD will be on 21 Nov.

Has anyone of you thought of any gatecrashing activities for the guys? Personally would prefer no eating & drinking funny stuff. Mind to share your ideas?

 

[h2hm2m]

Yalor.i oso dun understand. so initially we tot we can act take back e album liao bt they said its juz a sample. But no need zoom in oso can see everything clearly. But we oso din make any major amendments.

 

[gili]

reine, don't think so, mine is Taiwan bridal.
I realized after bringing the gowns back home. material already mao mao + quite a few diamonds dropped out.
Too rush.
cheer7, thanks.
I'm ok only. not my dream gown. I didn't know the choices are so limited.
really not wow.

Hey gals,

i have uploaded some of my PS photos in my blog. This is the link :

http://theapplediary.blogspot.com/2009/08/pre-weding-shoot-unedited.html

finally, we got down and selected the pix for album layout. One task down. Have you all paused the preparation during this 7th month?

momokun - same AD as mine

skipping gatecrash in the morning. But did thought of some games if ever doing.

1. go and find 3 neighbours and ask them for tips for long lasting marriage. Must write down on paper and ask the neighbours to sign.

2. Q and A. Each wrong answer, add another $10 to the gatecrash ang baos.

3. A whole bunch of keys and let him pick out the right one to open the gate.

no horrible food and embarrassing acts. Just plenty of teasing.

hi tulips,

nice photos u have. my album layout is not finalized yet. It is the 3rd draft and still cannot finalized yet. There is still one layout tat need to be change. i wont be pausing the preparation during this 7th month. next task will be contacting Lil’art Cards & Bridal Favours to arrange to collect the wedding card & printing inserts. How about u??? I like your 3rd idea. good idea.

 

[sparkless]

hi princessxue - HTB will be going to his reservist soon. So I'm using this time to start making the ang pow box, liase with my friend who's helping me to do the ppt slides and program booklet for the church wedding.

Have just finalised our wedding insert wordings, will be sending to print once the program booklet is ready too.

Also, am trying to put together a photobook to be used as a guest book.

meanwhile, got time have to quickly ask for friends' mailing addresses.

Hi All,

Thanks for the concern. Settle things with bf liao. Mayb I'm too stressed out by the preparation.

Do u gals have any theme(like what colour of clothes ur bridemaids should wear, etc) on ur AD morning?
Do u pay for ur bridemaids dresses?
Do u gals insert map for ur wedding cards? Any add. costs? Can jus cut and paste from streetdirectory?

 

[sun_tan]

Btw, have you girls bought the corsages for your bridesmaids? Any recommended websites?

 

[tksl]

charmaine> gdl stuff very fast can settle one.. nowadays they offer one-stop service one. the one i went at chinatown (behind the food centre) asked me wad dialect I am.. den she started putting diferent items on the table for me to choose.. took me less than 1 hr to get everything settled. of coz my mum and my auntie were there to help..

 

[fifteenmay]

xka, your layouts not bad wat. what is it tt is not amended?
Sun tan, i made the corsages myself so cant help u there

 

[saggiegirl]

yup GDL stuff very easy to settle de...

for my MIL, she already bought the pig trotters cans

then for the rest of the stuff, we already jotted down the listing, then during lunar 8th mth, just go down to chinatown and buy

and also buy my mummy's outfit

 

[rierie]

hey tulips! woah..where did u take ur pics? i like the one with wooden planks! for us, we practically stopped everything. but we just collected our wedding inserts. good quality esp for the price that we are paying for

now, we are waiting for our album and stuff to be printed out and ship to singapore!!

 

[mashi_mashi]

Eggy,
Gd to hear that...
Yup. Hv a theme. I ask my jie mei to wear white during day. easy mah.

nope. for me, i never pay for their dresses...

yup. i do insert map in my wedding cards. as mine is printed in msia. the cost is 20RM.
if u wan, u can actually print fr internet streetdirectory. so the map can smaller then go photocopy n put in in the invitation card. tink save cost. as 1 A4 size can put 4 map. if u can photo copy in ur office then no cost. haha...

 

[akino]

yeah. just 1 stop. chinatown hawker centre there got alot of wedding shops. yesterday i went to the 1st shop. she quoted quite ex. then 2nd shop cheaper alot..... so we just bought from the 2nd shop. didnt go further.
for the rest of the GDL stuff, we will be buying when its nearer to the date.

 

[dizonne]

sun,
u can get frm lovely lacey lor....if nt, theres tis push cart at bugis tat sells similar stuff, or u can go jurong point..bt im duno e name of the shop there...heard they can customise for u oso...

fifteenmay,
e not amended de, i already ask them to amend...tat day when we went down, she actuali fixed another appt wif another couple, and ended up, we waited almost 2 hrs for her lor....i tink due to tat fact, she cldnt reali concentrate, so sm amendments tat we requested were nt done...luckily i remembered, if nt, we wld hav printed e wrong one lor...

nw i veri headache abt e name..duno hw sia..we prefer names and date design, bt then got 1 line separating the names..but the other design wif names and date on 2 pgs abit weird...

 

[sunshine_baby]

For GDL stuff, my mum and my MIL haven't discuss yet.. Will discuss during the food tasting.. But I think my mum and MIL roughly have an idea of what are required.. So, will leave this to them

 

[sunshine_baby]

Have any of you been to Koh Samui before? Any recommendations for the resorts? Thinking of going there for a short trip after wedding..

 

[peaberry]

p00h > It's not so bad, 'cos out of my 4 bridesmaids, only two are wearing dresses + heels + accessories + make-up. My other two bridesmaids are butches so I just have to buy them ties! Haha it's a bit complicated...

tulips > Love your wedding photos! You look lovely!

Am not stopping wedding preps during 7th month 'cos there's too much that have yet to be done.

Can I ask you ladies one question - is the Si Dian Jin (4 pieces of gold) given by the groom's side or bride's side? Kinda got into a semi-argument with my FH over this, 'cos my mom insists it's the groom's side but his mom says it's the bride's side! There seem to be so many versions on the Net too... Which procedure did you ladies follow? Thanks!

 

[tanp]

tulips> your photos are nice & like the greenery..

peaberry> It's from the groom's side.. bride's mum needs to give a ring to his SIL for traditional

 

[roystream]

[dizonne]

SS,
not sure abt Kath, coz her BS is diff..Hers is Whitelink. For me, my names is one of the artwork la...Can buy those metal alphabets and stick outside the album if u wan names outside the album..

I will be going to Suzhou to hunt for some wedding stuff this oct, heard that there is one building in Suzhou that sell all wedding stuff and hair accessories. And prepare for GDL things after that. Getting more and more busy.

Start my facial this week also and bought collagen drink from sasa. MUST share this collagen from sasa with all of you. I believe some of know thats fancl collagen drink does wonders. And fancl collagen drink contains 2600mg of collagen BUT this collagen drink that Sasa sell contains 10000mg of collagen. I can already see glow in my skin after a few bottles.
