I see... but if some give cakes and some give vouchers, not nice ley... how huh??

Fang82> How do you split the list from those who will receive cake and those who receive vouchers? You go according to location??
 
Pearlypearl> We also hasn't finalised our guest list. Just did a rough estimate of the tables. E.g. My parents side, they wanted 10 tables and for my inlaws side, Im in the same shoes as you. My mil doesn't have the number for us. We are lucky in the sense, my bil had his wedding 2-3years ago. So he passed us his list for the relatives to roughly gauge the tables for my inlaws.

My weddings card also not printed yet. Think will start to plan next week.

For the cakes, my mum asked for real cakes as she prefers to have the real thing. Heehee.. but we hasn't source for the cakes yet. And I think my mum did mentioned lao bing for GDL.
 
Thanks Mashi, yes think I just have to try to relax myself more.

Now even mother's outfit we also need to headache for her, coz she not willing to pay more than $100 to buy a gown/suit. She want to rent at under $100, how to find? haiz... Sunday my HTB and I will bring my MIL to go Chinatown and try to find cheaper dress loh. Luckily my mom has already settled her gown at City Plaza at $140 for her gown. Not bad.

My GDL will be an exciting and happening day also coz my mom inviting most relatives to come my house eat buffet and then soon bian distribute the invitation cards n cakes, then no need to drive to each and everybody house to pass them. Save the hassle. As for the items to buy and exchange during GLD i totally leave to the two mom to go handle coz too confusing for us le...
 
Shir> wah, lucky you! My parents also requested for 10 tables... Sigh! Imagine my HB will be away for 2 weeks in Oct... so stress!

Oh just to share, I was at Bt Timah area (opp. Beauty World)that day having lunch and saw this confectionary shop that sells traditional wedding cakes..

hi girls,

Just like to check, when u say ur parents request for 10 tables, means do u pay for the tables for your parents? then ur parents will keep the ang pao from the guests of the 10 tables?
 
Hb will be getting cake vouchers.. my mom requested for 30 cake vouchers and 9 tables..

I read in another sgbrides thread on my banquet hotel.. also tdragon printing.. they printed double side, and cost them 300 bucks. Faintz.. so ex one meh?
 
Kit> The tables will be paid by the in-laws, i.e. my HB's parents and the ang paos received from the guests of the 10 tables (which will be your relatives and parents' friends) will be kept by my parents.. all these are discussed during the parents-meet-parents session, or the so-call "Ti Qing" i guess..
 
for me, hubby paying for my mum side relatives (3 tables) - lucky we r not gg back to Ipoh for my dad side coz if not we come back go bankrupt liao
happy.gif


then hubby also paying for my frens (ard 2 tables), colleagues (2-3 tables)... all in 7-8 tables...
 
Nikiko,
wow. like tat headache lei. the other day we juz bring 2mums to Toa Payoh to get their cheongsum. haha... both settled. but price is less than 200 each lor. Mums very pleased wif it. haha...

oic. mine also got call mini buffet. also inviting relatives to come to eat n also give them invites like u lor. haha...

GDL tings mostly ordered fr the Wedding Shop. so we less probs there. haha....
 
Looks like 10 tables is kinda of standard?
happy.gif
Kit: yes, for my case, my HB and I will be paying for the 10 tables and by right, my parents will keep the red packets monies.. however, they did tell me that they will return it to us if there is surplus after all the necessary deduction.
happy.gif
 
icic...

for my case, we wont be giving anything to my parents, cos the cost of the wedding will be fully borne by ourselves.

But then our parents havent meet up to discuss abt the wedding stuff yet.

Up to this point both side parents sounded quite modern hopefully it'll remain like that til after our wedding...haha
 
cubecube> The wedding cake from that site look very nice and pretty. Think my mum want those normal kind. Hee.. there was once she received something like this, she told me it look like full month one. Duhz..

Pearly> Yea.. we are lucky in that sense. Don't stress. Hee.. we only married once a lifetime..so must enjoy the process. Hee..

Kit> I think my parents also mentioned that those tables for our relatives, they will keep the Angbaos as its for them to 'follow-up' during the weddings of the other relatives.
 
Actually I thought it is very generous of my in-laws to even give the ang paos of the 10 tables to my parents, but am glad that my mum say she will just take a small token for "pin jing"... if not so pai say lor :S
 
Pearly> I think Jasvy is one of my hotel printer. Where's your venue? We have not decide the printer yet.

Kit> We also same same. All the cost borne by ourselves. So whichever side request for what, its from us. Heehee..
 
Kit> Actually they can meet up during the food-tasting too..
happy.gif


Shir> I am really very stressed up liao... really alot of things to do and I'm studying part time too! I really cannot imagine when my HB is gonna be away for 2 weeks during Oct the crucial month... wah, I really hope everything will be smooth-sailing!!!!
 
my mum and my HTB's parents actually went on a tour together b4, and they got along quite well..
so i am actually hoping that when they meet up again to talk abt wedding stuff, where money is concern, they will still be able to maintain the good rapport.
 
Kit: same for me.. My HB and I are bearing everything ourselves, that's why my parents didn't really ask for a lot too. I input the mindset into them: keep everything simple; so that no stress and everyone will be able to enjoy themselves.

pearlypearl: dun be stress or fret, do a checklist to list down all the o/s stuffs, you will be able to do things better.

Pearly> Mine is at Marina Mandarin. Hee.. you are much better than us. We didnt even have a checklist yet. Hee.. still shaking legs. Think nothing much to do for the time being except to print the cards, finalised the album layout and confirm my gowns? And yes, we haven't complete any of these yet. Hee..
