Doll > We have requested our BS to do something like Enchanted Forest for our PS layout for some of the pics that were taken inside Studio with plain background. Hubby's fren did her PS and gave us the copies of her Photos for reference. We like the theme and layout as they are unique = )

Ling,
For my case, the bedsheets are to be used on the an chuang and till the actual day.
The towels can be kept at your new place, but those for the In laws will pass to them. Slippers, my mum told me to wear it on the night of the wedding, planning to bring it to the hotel, wear for a while and keep it. =)
Toothbrush and toothpaste and keep it for later use. Actually i still have alot, like soap containers, basins, bathtub, powder puffs. Grandma told me to keep those for later use.
What's gonna happen is on that day of GDL, hubby will bring all to my in law's place and then bring it back to our own home after 3 days.

Ling & all> all the items for my dowry will be presented to in laws on the day of GDL. Thereafter everything will be transported via my FIL taxi to Woodlands which is our love nest
Hi Ling,
My GDL takes place before an chuan so the bedsheet for GDL will be used for an chuan a few days later.
I see some brides selling off some of their GDL stuff at the buy and sell thread but I think this shouldn't be done since it is our parents who gave these things to us as dowry and they can be used in the future - things like towels, basin, etc. Heh. Or maybe I'm sentimental.
A lot of the items are already at our new house and we ll just put it here. On GDL day we will just bring the Teochew biscuits and cake vouchers to my parents place. From there we will start to go to relatives' house to distribute the items

Garfield,
As for the candles, i think it is bought by the groom's side and they are suppose to give one set to the bride on GDL day( leave the "long" candles and bring back the "feng" candles. And some brides will return another set of red candles in exchange of the "long feng" candles, which they call "花烛" so that it will still be in pairs. My mum bought it from those wedding stores. Don't think the candles are for hair combing day... thought its for the AD. But some ppl might be doing hair combing early morning of the AD, hence they light up the candles too. (i think so la...)
Charmaine,
No worries on not knowing what to get for GDL and all, for my case, we were blur as well. All we did was, we went down to the wedding shops at chinatown, asked the person and mentioned that we are getting dowry, they told us what to get. Most ppl will use angbao to represent certain things like the spittoon, basin, bathtub, etc. Some still prefer to get, like my mum insisted to get the full suit.
The items are actually not cheap. Spend about $500 odd just getting those items.

hmm.. anyone has emcee script to share?? thanks
akino: My HB and I are paying for the wedding dinner... But I am still giving my parents 10 tables; meaning that all the hongbaos for that 10 tables will be passed to my parents instead of my HB and myself.
