LW: Ling & i are in same situation for banquet.. i guess we wont know how many empty seats till the evening of our AD bah.. cos cannot ask them rsvp, so will only know how many eventually turn up on that evening lor.
For my case, the family all v big one. one family abt 5-6pax. so if only the husband and wife come, but no bring children, it will b minimum 4 seats empty lor.. and this is just one family.. got total 8 families. i cannot imagine. the more i think, the more sian i am.. so i rather not think.

greentwinkle: I see.. they didn't RSVP? My in-laws are rather fast in this aspect, my parents are the one who dily daily... They told me that they will fwd the invitation cards to our relatives on my GDL day... but so far, we only invite close relatives, hence shld be rather okay for my side.

having cold war with HTB now
he doesnt seem to realise how bad he was. =(
like when i asked him to take down those old photos and i scan them. he gave me attitude.
when i told him i was feeling unwell, he said i was thinking too much and was sulky with me. i went to the doctor. and i really had a relapse of my old sickness. =(
I wanted to tell him what is sha-Tou and showed him the stuff, but he refused to walk over the 3steps (we were at a wedding shop and he juz stood outside. refusing to walk in when i wanted to show him) he told me to tell his mum, cause he doesnt need to know any of these.

LW & Charmaine > close relatives la.. ie. dad's siblings.. just that we wont know if their children coming anot.. sometimes the children dun follow, sometimes will follow, we wont know.
greenwinkle > From day 1 i ask hubby to tell his parent banquet very expensive, per table $888. I told my parent same thing too. So don't anyhow do it cause we paying for everything ourselves. So they do care for our pocket, so my mil did call and ask their sibling, how many pax they coming per family. But that is provided they do not play us out... My side family very small, my mum got 4 siblings only so we are really close, all coming for sure.

LW & Charmaine > my parents' mentality is that they request the no. of tables that they need. So hubby must give them the no. of tables that tehy requested. ie. they request 9 tables. so whether the 9 tables fill up or not, we shld not bother cos it is given to them..
like that lor.. i also cannot say anything to them liao. leave it lor, if turn up only use 8 tables, i also cannot do anything.

greentwinkle> haizz we in same shoes for the banquet issue.
Littlewoman> yes, we will know only on that day..It doesn't work even thopu we tell them abt "faces" issues. What was told straight into our face is that we got to face it if they dun come so be it and since it a wedding banquet, just paiy and let it be = (
Charmaine> wow ur mil is good, at least she care for your pocket.

I see... Ling... Sayang... Hmm.. are your parents / in-laws close to them? If they are, probably they will come..? Gals, how many tables u est might be left empty? Frm the attendance list, can roughly gauge?
I was faced with this issue last week. My HB's cuz informed us that her BB is too small, thus, can't make it... 4 seats; I immediately turned to my friends for help.. My GFs told me good that they can't make it, so that they can replace them.. I was a little touched by them..

greentwinkle > At first my parent got that mentality too. Then i told them my in law are not paying a single cent, everything is out from our pocket. If they do that, they are burning my pocket. But i did ask my sis to help me speakup too so they agree to give me back the ang pow money to cover banquet cost. Afterall, hubby and me are broke for the wedding...
Ling > At first not so good. She wannt give 1 table to 1 distant relative etc. Then my hubby complaining how can? So we told them insufficient tables. So she got lesser table to play with, so she call and ask all those she inviting to confirm no. That's make all our job easier. LOL cause we wanna keep it to 25 tables, didn't want it cramp. Anyway xmas many people are away on vacation, i didn't want to be playout by too many people.
Hubby & me still haven't send out email for rsvp.

charmaine> oic. For us, last time before we bookm current hotel, we've booked another one but the place max is 32 tables thus they complain and said "why book so less table", in the end, we manage to sell the package with a lost of $800 and secure the current one.
Now i also too tired to talk to them cos they never listen, no point. At least, my parents understand and always lend a listening ears to me.

Ling > Actually we can increase but we just didn't want to unless really needed. So we just tell them cannot be done loh. But i always ask hubby to talk to them better. He is quite firm on that so the parent no choice. My mil also say why we book so little tables, hubby say per table $888 leh. Bil also make noise say just invite, can increase blah blah, hubby tu him say wait till yr turn you invite loh. Then bil zip liao cause i think he planning his wedding soon. Haha...

All of you are having a lot of tables.. I am catering to 24 tables... My HB and I cut a lot coz we wanted the Pananoma room..
My parents was grumbling that they leave out so many friends and relatives.. but they tone down eventually, coz they said so long my HB and I are happy and have a blissful marriage.
Most of the left-out relatives are coming for the GDL instead..

Von > Don't be overworried. To me food not a very big issue, people are there to give blessing, witness the most impt moment of yr life. True friend will not be bother about such minor issue. I went to my frd wedding at ritz, per table 1.4k, food wasn't good too, worst soft drink is super diluted. After i complaint to manager they still serve me diluted drink. But those are all minor stuff to me.
Doll post here you mean? Or facebook?

i went back to my parent's place on Sat.. my mom told me straight into my face that FT actually sucks.. the food not good enough, arrangement sucks.. still so expensive.. ask her to confirm the no of ppl first.. she kept on saying that 12 tables will be filled.. told her straight to her face.. if not filled, i will get my coordinator to re-arrange their seats... OMG.. I wana bang wall!!! ask her do things like killing her.. always say she is busy & GDL stuff.. she also bo chup... ask her what needs to buy.. she say nothing.. definitely there is something that needs to be buy???
My auntie was asking my grandma if my cousin got seat anot?? if not they don't come along!! OMG.. They are my direct cousins... lucky my grandma was perfect.. to tell her that there will be seats for them as they are my siblings...
Invitation: Check with my frens/colleagues, they will say they are working & not in SG... I will keep to the fine side that probably they are busy with work or going o/s... OMG! this is killing myself..
I just hate the comments that people will give but I will simply ignore that...
Arrangement for JM to meet up is a hassle.. my fren always busy.. when my sis sms them for Hen's party.. they never reply.. told my sis to ignore them if they don't reply then we shall left them out..
so stuck with GDL, seat/table arrangement/distributing of invitation cards/montage (which i will need to gather more of hubby's photo & pass to Lam)..
now is coming to my peak!! I have a few selection boards to clear & will be in-camp...
make appointment for mani + pedi for myself & hubby..
but must do it 1 day earlier.. as they are close on Christmas..
think this is a passing phrase for everyone here.. we got to hang on & ride through it...
i got 31 tables.. but i am scare that the turn up rate will be lower than this.. OMG.. fret too much that I am having out-break.. not obvious but can feel my face is not smooth... got to plan for my 2 facial treatment...
anyone know how much will CS get this yr end??
