(2009) Brides of year 2009

[sunshine_baby]

Littlewoman> Ya lor.. That's what I am trying to do as well... Else, I will just keep telling myself "Ommmm......" haha....

Shir> Woh... Your cards are nice and unique.. Mine are ivory as I don't like bright red... It's good that the ribbons are already tied.. We have to start from scratch - fold card, fold insert, tie everything together.. Luckily the strings have already been cut, else need to spend more time.. Hoping to finish tying all the cards by this weekend, and will start sending them out next week...

Saggiegirl> Our timing is quite similar.. HTB targets to reach my place at 7am, so that jie mei have half an hour for their games.. Then we will leave my home about 8 to 8.15 and reach his place by 8.30 or 8.45.. Cause I have to reach his place by latest 9am..

 

[babylina]

halo.. anyone can help abt the cutting of songs n playing it during the dinner?? i tot i read abt some copywrite thing.. but i cant find it. can anyone help??

 

[saggiegirl]

Shir> ya all my colleagues invites have been out except for a few

Angelina> cutting of songs??

 

[blurbaby]

omg... mil said that hubby relative can't come over so early... it's bishan to jurong... had to go against my aunt to enter the house after 9am

 

[cluelessoink]

Shir, you cards very very nice!!! Two thumbs up.

Saggiegirl, i got the timing from the shifu. if not side doing, no need to follow to the tee with the timing right. coz let say he put there anytime from 5 - 7am. As long as we both do within that period can liao, right?

What if hubby dont want to go thru the fuss? Can it be just the bride do?

 

[taime81]

Shir > I'm ordering the jacket liao. You wanna anot?

 

[saggiegirl]

Clueless Oink> dunnoe

both sides are a bit particular about the timing etc, so we just follow lor

 

[octo]

Charmaine> You can go ahead. Hb thinking of borrowing some of the winter stuff from bil first. Thanks for asking.

Yvonne> Thanks. We are also initially worried about the ribbon tying. When we collect the cards @ the hotel, we are soooooo glad that the ribbon are all nicely tied. Hee..

Clueless Oink> Thanks. About the shangtou, we also heard that if want to do, both sides must do together. Cannot 1 side do, 1 side don't do. Thats what my mum tell me. Even my mil also say the same and kept asking me if my mum will shangtou for me as the previous time, my bil didnt do this shangtou thingy cause the bride side not doing. So if my side doing, must let her know inadvance, so that she can do for my hb.

Saggie> Er.. do I have to ask my colleague whether they are free before giving them the cards? Im feel paiseh to ask them, esp. those that are not too familiar ones. I don't know if you have this dilemma,ie. I am inviting this particular uncle from IT and I am only familiar with him in that section. But its like not so nice to invite him alone. So probably will invite another uncle from IT, but..... I am not familar with the other one, so I feel quite difficult to ask him.

 

[saggiegirl]

Shir> ya i dropped all a BCC email to check with their schedule. Only those confirmed, will get my card.

i also faced this issue as my dept itself has 50 ppl

i cannot afford to invite all, so i only invite those whom i deal with most of the time

 

[happygal1]

shir> totally agreed with the rest that your card is nice.

help! gals!, i have to "chu jia" from hotel. but could my brothers' and sisters' be so noisy during the morning gate crashing on AD? what are the other options ? headache now

 

[octo]

saggie> wow.. your dept so many people. My new dept is around 12pax but alot of conflicts within themselves. I discuss with hb last night and he think just invite them. Only after they confirm on coming, then plan the seating, don't headache about the seating first. For this new dept, they have weekly meeting and during the meeting this week, the big boss actually ask some of them if they got personal matter to share. I wonder if I can take the opportunity next wk to invite them to my dinner. But hb think not so nice and ask me to ask them individually. But I feel more oddward to go 1by1 to ask, esp. not very close type. Initially I think then I don't invite, can save the trouble to go through this. But.. the sickening part is.. I don't know if people will feel offended if I don't invite, something like don't look up to them. But the other hand, I am concerned if I invite, will they think that we are just eyeing for the ABs.

 

[purple_rain]

Just a little note: remember to ask ur jiemeis to bring ur bra along if u wana change to KUA after tea ceremony at groom's place. I forgotten mine! but heng cant see anythin cos kua ia quite thick.... kekeke...

 

[saggiegirl]

Shir> no lar... those nice colleagues who agree to come will give u their blessings de

do plan early for seating arrangements

... now having headache as hubby side some overseas relatives may not be coming back...aaargh...

 

[octo]

hello> Thanks. I ever watch a wedding video of the bride chu jia at the hotel. But they booked a bigger room with living room, so the games are played at the living room and the bride stay inside the bedroom. You may want to consider that.

Saggie> Thanks for sharing your ears. Always feel better after reading your reply. Eh... do you think its ok if I 'msn' my colleague to ask them whether they want to come for my dinner. (we got an internal office 'msn'). Do you think its appropriate? Hb thinks that its better to ask them face-to-face.

 

[saggiegirl]

Shir> haha

no worries

we brides need to de-stress mah... listening to each other also can de-stress

... hmm... i tink it is OK to use internal office MSN to ask

that is more personal than dropping emails...

if u can lar

sometimes asking face-to-face a bit "tang tu" (as in impromptu)... so probably email/IM sounds better

 

[cherie81]

hello> I just attend a wedding that my friend chu jia in the hotel. There is no problem. You just let the hotel know and they will put in a more quiet unit that wont disturb others. Like what Shir say all games are play in the living room.

 

[emeraldbride]

I will oso chu jia fr service apartment. Games will b played inside the hse so can b noisy abit. Haha..

Shir> I not inviting my new colleagues. Feel awkward cos I juz joined the comp n my situation is tricky. They'll prolly tink y got don liao still going through customary. Haha.. Hb say juz tell them we're Hollywood celebrity n soccer player. It is norm..

HOwever, for me chu jia fr hotel oso ok..cos i will be booking at least 6 rooms..so even if noisy oso all relatives..hahah
