Good Morning!

Clueless Oink> Yah.. do take care.. don't stress too much, I also have alot on my list and my wedding date is 6days before you. Hee..

Umm.. Think Saggie have reached cold cold Korea already... guess gotta booked the manicure & pedicure that I used for my rom last time.

We spent some time to do up the guestlist/table arrangement last night. Settle all the relatives of hb's, friends and colleagues of both of us.. managed to fit everyone into the tables of 10 (except 1 with 11), but hb will call mil today to check any changes in the attendance. We left with the list of relatives for my side (pending my mum to provide me with her list).

Also spent some time on Angbao planning and we realised like not much angbao to bao, not sure if we have missed out on anything. Below are our list, please share with me if I missed out on any.

Angbao for
a) opening car
b) opening door (for JMs)
c) bridal car driver
d) XDs (one Angbao each, plus additional 1 if they drives)
e) PG & VG
f) Bridal MUA
g) Hotel coordinator
h) Banquet Manager
i) Mini band (include emcee)
j) Tea ceremony (bao 3 packets for single bro, uncle and his younger bro)
k) 20 mini angbao packet (incase those young kids want to offer tea)

i know there's one at IKEA for $29.90
but i bought some boxes and stuff from daiso (costed me abt $8) and already finished 1 tier.

im FRUSTRATED and ANGRY with that caterer cause the cupcakes doesnt come cheap. $3 each. and they KEPT adding rules I dont rememeber nor were written in blackand white.

Hi Littlewomen,
how did u manage to do 3 entrances? Wat time was ur 2nd and 3rd march in?
I'm thinking of having 3 march ins as well but i'm worried there is no time to change makeup for the 3rd and whether guests will stay.

Babyfaery> I don't think I'll send sms reminder to my colleagues cause I only pass them the cards 2-3weeks before the wedding. For my friends, I only invited closed ones who will definitely come. For our relatives side, I think we ask our parents to confirm with their guest again.

pinkpt> I also think that three match-in will be very tight in timing. Not to mention change of makeup/hairdo. Will you be changing your makeup/hairdo for your 2nd match-in? I thought usually no change, unless we pay the mua to come back to touchup and make slight changes to the hairdo? For us, probably just go with two match-in. Me just thinking whether if I should change to kwa to send the guest off. But that would means less 'show' time for my evening gown. Still considering. What will you be wearing for the 3rd match-in if you going to have it?

pinkpt: yes yes... Timing was perfect... just that I don't get to eat throughout my whole dinner... I change my 1st EG for 2nd march in after my 1st dish... change my 2nd EG for 3rd march in after 4.5 dish...

Ling: My mum did the AN chuang for me 3 days before my AD, HB and I weren't ard... my mum closed the door to my bridal room after that, my HB opened it on my AD (when we go back maiden home)... We on the table lamps together after he opened the door.

Littlewomen: Thx for the info. So did u just go around the tables for phototaking with ur 3rd EG or with both 2nd and 3rd EGs? Anyway wat videos did u show during ur March Ins? How did u squeeze 5 videos?

Shir:
For the 1st and 2nd March in, the wedding gown and evening dress is in a similar colour family. However, for my 3rd , its totally different ie blue. So probably i may have different hairdo/headgear and darker makeup. The problem is i wish to have phototaking of both gowns, so was thinking of spliting 20 tables vs 20 tables, but dunno whether have enuf time to makeup which is at least 15 mins to half hr and whether the guest will wait till then.

Ling: rem not to step into bridal room and it has to be close after An chuang.... HB has to be the one opening it on our AD, symbolises that the room is his.... Also, ur HB has to pass ur Mum and Dad a red packet to thank them for doing the an chuang on the an chuang day...

Pinkpt: I wore my 1st EG while taking the table photos for my HB's side and some friends... I wore my 2nd EG while doing the shoots for my parents' side and some friends.
happy.gif
BEfore 1st entrance, I show off a fatansy photo clip of my PS taken in Phuket... (done by my BS)... before 2nd entrance, I had 3 videos: 1 montage on our growing up yrs, 1 montage on the courtship times and of coz a fliming video on how we met during sch yrs...
happy.gif
Last but not least 5th video before my 3rd entrance on my express highlights... a SMS system is running throughout in between...

Hello all! finally my wedding is over and although there were hiccups here and there, it was rather smooth.

A word of advice, get your family members involved in the ushering, such that you can combine tables if needed. i wasted quite some seats, due to some last minute pulling out. Could have saved a table but it was too late by the time we realised it. I had a table that had only 5 people, some tables with 7 etc.

Cherie > Wow kaoz, wrote u a song with animate, envy si ren le.

Shir > Thanks

Ling > In the end, i need to pay for the 5 unopened table cost as i couldn't meet the minimum table requirements. Made a small loss of abt $2.8k bah ... cosidered blessing in disguise. Some tables got 5 empty seats, mostly got 1 or 2 empty seats.

Hi Littlewomen,
I have 40 tables so thought of splitting the phototaking- 20 tables for 2nd March in and 20 tables for 3rd march in. Only problem is i might have change in make up for 3rd which takes up time. So wondering whether i shd have 3 March ins. Anyway, enjoy ur honeymoon as well.
