Huisi: Yup yup... it's RM19.90 less 20%: RM15.90.. After conversion, only abt S$6.90??They have alot of stuff like teapot set, bowls and spoons, pottery sets, wedding lamps etc..
If you are preparing your GDL items and like those traditional cartoon bedsheets, can buy from malaysia too. Wide variety to choose from. I bought a few sets. The cheapest king size one was only abt $15.. v cute.

Ev3: hey, I'm getting a live band for my wedding. From Yours Truly cos i heard them (Kexin on vox) during the Raffles wedding show last year and I think she's good.
Kewei is the more popular cos of her public perfomances on TV and in taiwan. But I think they are just as great. =)

morning all... it is monday again... so fast!
I went to view my PS layouts yesterday, looks quite good. And the PG made the changes on the spot, so this part more or less settled. I am thankful for this cos there are so many things that still remain undone. Food tasting and collecting blank invitation cards today too. Having to do so many things for the wedding once again reminds me that we're only 3 months away.
Jiayou with the prep everyone!

thiasy: The bedroom slippers are cute.
I bought some of my GDL stuff from KK Marriage @ Chinatown recently after some forummers said that it's the cheapest of all the stores that they have visited.
How did u all manage to lug all those bulky items back to SG? Later the custom wants to inspect and they take out the potty and raise it high high how?
Don't think can shop with ease of mind if we would to drive in to JB. Scared later return to carpark only to see your rearview mirror on the floor.

bluey: i took my PS early May, just viewed layout on Sunday, so about 6 weeks? They fixed the date for us to view the layout on the PS day itself. Hmm... if your PG didn't fix with you, i think you may want to call them to fix something? At least get them to commit to a date. Don't worry, it will turn out fine, just need to push them a little i think?
When did you take ur BS by the way?

Hello All,
It has been awhile since I last came in. Hope everyone is fine. How's all your preparation?
I will be having the ti qing session during second weekend of July. Any advise on how is it like? Any 'procedures' that me or my mom should follow?
Same time, during ti qing will be the food tasting, selection of cards and also color theme.

can anyone advise me on what hotstamping is ah? haha... sorry, cos a printer quoted me for matt gold print and i think that doesn't include hotstamping ba. And i read about hotstamping online and it sounds like the cards will look nicer if use hotstamping. thanks!
lawli: hotstamping is printing directly on the card...
hotstamping looks nicer but will be more expensive than printing inserts. Also, if write wrongly insert can just throw, card can reuse but if write wrongly on card, whole card gotta throw. So if u settle for hotstamping, gotta factor in extras to print in case u write wrongly otherwise they will not entertain u if u just wanna print another 5-10pcs.

thanks both. think i will prefer to print on inserts cos hotel did provide inserts and like thomas said, at least won't waste the card if i make any mistakes while writing the card.
i had food tasting yesterday... quite satisfied with the standard.

hi all...
started counting down to my AD.. ausipicious figure of 88days left..
lawlipop, hotstamping is nicer, but pricey as well..
My initial plan is do hotstamping on cover of e card then normal print on insert, but since supplier do wrongly, i have hotstamping on cover, & normal print on card. It is possible to do hotstamping on insert. But the rate is higher.
Do remember to count the number of cards/insert required, as e aft printing is higher & they dun entertain small qty.
Glad tat you r satisified with the food tasting.
We are skipping food tasting.
Bluey, i took about 4weeks to view the 1st draft of the album layout aft the photo selection.
Belinda, there is no fixed rule with regards to tiqing.. for us e meet e parent session, we jus book a rm in e restaurant for dinner.. then my in-law were e ones who started e conversation for wedding..asking my parents if we have any special custom/things tat they need to do/provide.. then jus discussion n casual tok.. nth much.. e dates for GDL,anchuang mi n hubby has checked and got them ready b4 e dinner,so we jus inform them when & time..

hi everyone.. been busy with work to come in recently..
decided to forgo the cards from Dreamweavers.. most probably will go JB to print everything in beginning July... usually how much extra is enough ar?
food-tasting and "ti qing" tmr... hope everything will be fine...
bluey: I waited for abt 3mths before the 1st view of the layout.. personally I think its too long... and naturally I expected something good.. but turns out a diaster.. will probably view the layout the 2nd time next week.. think u shld call up ur BS to check if you think its too long...

Jolene: Oh dear, if they made the mistake, then they shouldn't make you bear the costs? think i might skip the hotstamping after all cos it is quite a lot of difference.

huisi / belinda: i think don't worry too much. it will be fine. for mine, our parents didn't really insist on anything. Also started by asking what customs each other have. But the thing is they all say no customs, but suddenly when AD is approaching, all the customs start "coming out"...

huisi, mayb u try the per lot printing from e printer then decide? Cos i understand normal print usualli is 200copies for the 1st print. I only got 155 cards, so 200 is enough.. i din print extra.. JB, we checked with T&T, they are quite cheap, but they dun do hotstamping.
belinda, dun worry too much..jus go with e flow..
lawipop, they did not charge mi extra,cos they printed wrongly & since printing on card is betta, no extra charges we jus accept.

bluey: haha... i can understand why you feel anxious. But i guess don't hurry them too much also cos they might ending up rushing it and making more mistakes! I think about 1 month plus is reasonable time to wait.

huisi: have fun at food tasting tonight! my experience was good and i hope yours will be too.

hey guys, i went to this shop at AMK central "The Wedding Shop" and check out their GDL and dowry package.
GDL set (for hokkien bride) cost $188 and dowry set cost $198. Is that consider expensive ?
But its rather convenient cos they prepare for u all the necessary items required.

Wah... This shuangxile.com's GDL and dowry items look nice! I like that heart-shaped sewing kit!
I bought some of these stuff from KK Marriage at Chinatown Complex last week. The lady boss, though not pushy, has a glib tongue. Be careful! We were almost hypnotised into buying a few unnecessary things from her.
Her teapot sets not very nice. I told her my opinions and she said she would ask for other designs from her supplier next time.
