[journey]

Thanks gals... i will try my best

Amara Singapore lor... heehee. Have a good rest

 

[sillycouple]

Nikko, for your case y not confirm 31+2 1st? Nearer to date may hv ppl drop out. Then maybe 1 week b4 AD, if the ppl has confirmed, then u increase ur tables accordingly?

Hotels want money de so if u increase 1-2 tables a week b4 the dinner, I think they will not reject. But if u confirm too many tables and ppl pull u airplane, hotel will not allow u reduce.

 

[shyoshya]

p00h.... you have food tasting liao? how issit.. mine's next week together with ROM...

any recommendations for the noodles section. nothing @ that section goes well w me. =p

Delphine: if you are reading this (i know you are stalking this thread) my rom is next week. HAH.

 

[lawery]

Guess I'm not the only thick-skinned person in this world!!!
I always tell my friends this when some of them cant make it...
人ä¸åˆ°æ²¡å…³æ¯,礼(红包)请早到!!!
(Its ok for not coming, I still welcome AP)

Surprisingly, they agreed & they say they know what to do...
Haha!!!
=)

 

[cheer7]

nikko: agree wif paradise, u confirm lesser table now n if need to, add additional table 1 wk in advance... mayb nearer ur date, if ur guest still hadn reply aft rec'd ur invitation card, u may wan to giv them a call/sms to chk if they had rec'd e card n whether attendin e dinner or not.. i wil do tt b4 i really start to arrange my table seatin..

 

[cheer7]

i wont b askin my MUA to stay for the change of 2nd gown as i tink as it incur additional cost.. mayb can ask her whether she can bundle up for e 1st hairdo n for e 2nd one, we put it down..

 

[charlenefmj]

thank you for your reply. miow miow: i will check out will you marry me. pOOh: i actually found one at $550 for half day VG and express highlight service. think their price quite reasonable le. thanks anw

 

[angeliqueous]

saggiegirl, i was reading your earlier post that u print 300 inserts at $150 (incl 2 bags of strings and insertion of 2 icons)? was it at Tdragon and is yr print black or gold ink?

i saw many of you all getting the print works so much cheaper. not sure if i kena eaten by them, i pay $180 for 200 gold prints! and they ask me to pay for inserts of the map (not FOC as Charmaine mentioned).... ..

 

[luva4ever]

Hi December BTB, I need your advices.

Is anyone of you who will be staying with your mother-in-law after getting married?

I'm so stressed here. The problem is that I'm not close to his mother, is there any way to get to understand her better? Do you mind to share your experiences with me?

Thanks!

 

[puppet1]

saggiegirl , can help to advise where u print ya cards does it include the map and pictures. how long does it take

 

[emeraldbride]

wah.. one day alr got 3 pages of post?? So fast leh..i cannot read in time. Hahaha

all tokking abt printing inserts liao..i hv not even select my card. Tmr..yippee!!

Ohh.. whr u gals went n buy ur GDL items? I dunno if i shuld buy oso.. anyway, anyone practise decorating the bridal room?

 

[sunshine_baby]

I log in twice a day, and I can't keep up already...

Akino> For giving invites to relatives, my mum told me can give 1 to the entire group of relatives if grandparents still around.. If grandparents not around, then need individual cards for individual families...

My banquet is providing only 60% of the invites leh.. So, would have to print more copies.. Also, we have to print the inserts ourselves as they are not included in the package..

 

[saggiegirl]

Angeliqueous> i printed my inserts at t-dragon. Cards are foc from my hotel

my printing is on normal gold ink and normal insert paper

odod> hello

do see my reply to Angeliqueous

... t-dragon is located at excelsior shopping centre #03-23 (opp central fire station.. and behind funan IT mall)

if u need map/directions to ur banquet venue, do check with t-dragon on the pricing

coz my hotel is located at orchard road so dun need the map

pictures? are u referring to icons? each icon cost $10

 

[bliss_bb]

akino> wow.. ok, sorry thought u for a tour...

Von> can try ask for more invites, at least 70% cos 60% is too less le..

Oh yes, as for red umbrella, is it only applicable for Hokkien? How abt san zi (fan)which bride throw away after leaving house to groom place?

 

[saggiegirl]

emeraldbride> my GDL items will be fr Chinatown ba

as we alrdy have our own hse, decoration of bridal room (aka Master bedroom) will be simple ba...with new bedsheets, xi sticker at the door, and bedside lamps

 

[bliss_bb]

hi Doreen, u can try to bring her out for a meal with ur hubby. Once in the blue moon, you can buy some snacks for her = )

Chat with her and "speak" her language eg. check with hubby abt his mum habit and things which she may be displease of...

Offer to help her if she is doing some stuff eg. wash plates etc..

 

[pearlypearl]

Good morning ladies!!

Hi Doreen> I will be staying with my in-laws... I supposed it all takes 2 hands to clap. Try to chat with her when you see her, in tat way you can get to understand her character and her likes/dislikes..

Lucky for me, my future MIL is a very easy-going lady... as for my future FIL, he is a very stern and sometimes "attitude problem" person... Anyway most of the time they are not at home cos they have their own business to manage.

Maybe your hubby will be able to help to to understand more about them.

 

[lovingyou]

Von: oh okay.. Perhaps you might want to speak to the Ass. Director again, explained to her that that was a verbal agreement and thus, it isn't that right for them to go back on that agreement, moreover, why shld you bear the consequences of an empty promise made by the staff? Good luck ya..

Guan Ying: tried to PM you, but you dun accept any PM messages, I've signed up a PS / AD package with Bridal De Couture and X-zen, let me know if you are keen to know more about them.

Doreen: Hmm.. do you visit your in-laws whilst in the courtship? Hmm.. does your HTB has any siblings? I used to talk to my sis-in-law more, before opening up to talk to my MIL gradually.. Try to discuss on a common topic etc.

odod: Most of us printed our inserts at T-dragon. It takes about 2 weeks for my case.

emeraldbride: Looking fwd to it ya?

U aren't buying GDL items? For me, I change most of my old furnitures, get additional wardrobe etc..

 

[bliss_bb]

i agree with Yvonne about the invites. This can help to save some wedding cards and inserts cos most of us are not having 90% invites. Morever if some frens can't come for wedding, we still can use additonal cards to invite other ppl too.

 

[lovingyou]

Ling: I suppose it applies to most cultures, as my HB's maternal cousins use the red umbrella when they got married too.. they are cantonese.

 

[bliss_bb]

GuanYing> since ur wedding is next yr, you may take ur time to look ard for one during wedding fair. Dun rush into 1 BS especially it can happen when the BS coordinator try to sell u their package.

Most BS are good but it still depend on individual preference.

 

[emeraldbride]

littlewoman > buying GDL but dunno need to buy all those stuff or not.. hehehe. U noe, i alr have a son that is turning 1 years old tis coming 5th Dec, which is oso my GDL. We ROM 2years ago n accident occurred...but still hv to go through the customary cos i still wanna wear my low back divine couture gown..hehe

 

[bliss_bb]

littlewoman> oic.... how abt hand fan? I still thinking where to buy red umbrella cos some which I saw was too kwa zhang cos after wedding, no one would dare to use it again.... heheee

 

[lovingyou]

Ling: I dun think I will need a hand fan.. what is the meaning?

I think one of us did suggest getting from Chinatown or the normal red umbrella from Giordano?

Psss it down to our children? haha..

emeraldbride: Are you Kathleen in FB?

it depends if you are traditional or not? Ling and I are the "modern brides".. haha.. We are not really getting those traditional items ba? I will be getting bed lamps.. for GDL: probably the usual Mandarin oranges and it also depends if your mum requires the pig trotters?
