Hi pauliyanna, good luck and hope you'll enjoy your mani/pedi session.

[amethystc]

Hi my AD next year 7 march. Anyone falls on the same day???

Got my wedding advisor from World of Fortune. U may chk out their website @ www.worldoffortune.com

They provide a wide range of service for wedding couples. U may also get all the bethrothal and dowry stuffs frm their shop at chinatown. The advisor, Mr Sean Lui is frenly and u can ask anything that u're unsure abt wat to do before, during and after the wedding.. all those myths n legends..

 

[raine24]

haha.. benjymocha we share the same AD.

1st May: Benjymocha, Raine
3rd May: poohise

 

[sparkless]

Miss Vivi - i am not going to have banquet. Going to be a Church wedding and a dinner reception. Currently, doing the paperwork for the church venue. For BS, we visited most of the BS thru wedding fairs and generally have a feel on what we like. For housing, we have been trying for the balloting exercises since 2007. But we have gone to view resale units for a feel on the procedures.

Mashi - thank you for your encouragement. I still have tiny weeny hope that I can get either Tanglin, Dover or Holland Drive. haha... *cross my fingers*

Looks like our thread is getting more lively keke.

 

[vallous]

i trying out on my own..cos tot of buying but some too simple so decided to go spotlight to just DIY.

my mum was telling me to wear pink pyjamus not red leh. I dun think hb have to wear red lah. Just a new set of pyjamus will do with new set of slippers. Depends on the customs. This is for the hair combing session night before AD.

 

[shice1]

woah.. u all so active liao..

hoshi, the $$ that ur in-law give u, u know how much? What's the "market" rate?? tml our parents meeting for lunch and i don't even know wat my mum is going to ask for.. and she dunno what she wans too?? then i ask her tml lunch how.. she say she will just ask my in-law what they wanna give us.. -_-" got liddat one meh?? sob..

btw, for printing, my colleague recommend me this company Hi-Tech Hotstamping,
ht_hotstamping @ pacific.net.sg

Normal paper with gold printing
First 200 = $80
From 201 to 300 = 20 cents each.
Price exclude 7% GST.

Cheaper than T-dragon, even though T-dragon don't charge 7% and hi-tech charge..

btw, what are the stuffs to buy ah?? the teapot set, pyjamas, etc? who should be the one buying? my in-laws or my mum?? if it's my mum, then i cham liao.. coz she dunno anything.. and is "chin cai" one.. sob!

[bubbly19]

christy i know how u feel. of late i have been feeling stressed, jittery and moody also.. dunno why feeling this way lei...mixed feelings in becoming a bride on MOnday!

 

[vallous]

Hi Shice,

Most Guo Da Li got differentiate female and male side. Female also got things to buy such as teapot and stuff. Hair combing stuff is from the Jia Zhuang which is prepared by the female side usually our mums will buy. They will also buy for us our red Xi word bedsheets, side table lamps, sewing kits, pyjamus and stuff.

Comb cannot anyhow buy. Must be the traditional wooden comb. Got a lot of customs to prepare. The bridal forum also got the link to Guo Da Li and Jia Zhuang things.

Here is the link. Just for reference. In the end its up to both sides of family what they wanted.

Wedding Proposals (Usually is the meeting where the male side meets the female to ask for the hand in marriage) - http://www.tianlufengshui.com/chinese-customary-marriages-part1.htm

Betrothal Gifts (Guo Da Li &amp; Pin Li) - http://www.tianlufengshui.com/chinese-customary-marriages-part2.html

Return Gifts to Male Side and Bride's Dowry (Jia Zhuang) - http://www.tianlufengshui.com/chinese-customary-marriages-part3.html

Setting up Bridal Bed (An Chuang) - http://www.tianlufengshui.com/chinese-customary-marriages-part4.html

This is just a guideline..but so far..I did most of it to pacify both sides of the family in case anything happens they blame on us saying we dint follow traditions and bring bad luck. hahahaha.

 

[vallous]

Hi desjO,

I bought most of the materials from Spotlight at Plaza Singapura. The flowers are about less than $3 a bunch of 6 pces. The ribbon i think its about $0.59 for how long i forget liao. But all in all. I spent $20 and I made 6 pieces but have remaining flowers for another 4 pieces. So means in total can make 10. I felt its very worth it. I sew them onto the ribbon so it doesnt cost for needle and thread if you buy glue. It only takes me 2-3 hours to get it done.

 

[deariebride]

16th May

 

[desjo_11]

wow..vallous..sound easy ya?material cost also very reasonable..must find time go down to check it up..

Those pyjamas,bedsheet,comb, teapot set can I buy myself or my mom must buy?

 

[vallous]

hi desjO,

can buy on your own then say your mother buy lor. I also doing that..but i going out with my mum to hunt for it. heehee..we mother and daughter do things together.

 

[guinguin]

[natalie06]

wow, thanks Jaslyn!
this definitely serves as a guide for me to look ard. we will most likely be using our own car as well so that can be taken off n replace by prob photos.

 

[meiwei83]

Hi May,

My AD is also on 7 march 2009. where is ur banquet?

 

[guinguin]

hi xiaokeiai, thanks..

my budget is below $800, i do not need express/montage. my montage will be my photos..

hope anyone could help on this. actually i view few VG but personally i dun like it

simon video
forest video
academy video

any1 know some1 could present work like fabian and vocare standard with my budget?

sigh..

 

[dizonne]

hi guinguin

im in e same position as u. Didnt like those that i saw, n those tat i saw were abit ova mi budget.

Now, it depends on u n ur htb le. Are you more concerned ova the documented video of the dae, or are you more concerned about the highlights of the day(as in the trailers)?

 

[christinawong]

Wow!!! Really shocked to see so many weddings on the 21st Nov.. My master also gave me this date but I haven book any hotel yet.. wonder will it be difficult to secure one now or not

 

[belindabelinda]

Hi My AD is also 7 March 2009.

 

[guinguin]

sigh, i wish everything captured in a nicely down video.. but those i saw so far, doesnt give me any 'feel', u understand wat i mean right?

i have 2 weddings, 1 in Sg and 1 in Msia.. therefore both side i engage VG and PG quite shag for me

the msia 1 more scary, u knw hw much their superb video? RM7k!! i cant believe it..

even in SG, those nicely done charge about 2.5-3k above.. sigh, quite headache now.

 

[jaslyn288]

hello hello.. me too.. my AD is also on 7 march 2009.. wahhh... hot date leh.. =D

 

[dizonne]

guinguin

so far, i presume that what u hav seen are all the express right? Have you tried seeing the raw video?

From my own experiences, e $$ tat we are paying are more for e trailers. I found all the raw videos to be the same.

If your video is juz for you to capture ur special day, n not for u to 'show' your frends, then there's no need to overblow your budget..

Bt, if you reali like the feel type, u can consider hiring the vg for a lesser no of hours...

Juz mi 2 cents worth..

 

[sparkless]

Mashi - i dunno still have any leftover.. that's why i said i still have tiny teeny hope. Never said never until the very end!

Grace - Thank you! what about yourself?

 

[guinguin]

hi xiaokeiai, thank u so much for ur advice.. yup, u r right, the moment that capture our feel is the trailer, the raw full version all the same..

if possible, of coz i wish to have a nice trailer as well

sigh.. still need a longer time to survey on the market, quite tired of searching with a budget constraint... stress.

u? have u done wif ur VG and PG?
