Darrel - I agree with you on the time and worth part thats why me also still comtemplatng whether shld go JB to print my inserts or not...
Alicia - That time I bought them a gift hamper from Crabtree & Evelyn cos his gf which is also my fren also help me at the recep so well buy gers related stuff easier ma haha... the guy fren also know I buy with the gf in mind lol... cos my fren is not professional PG, photography is only his hobby...
Jaq - I got free flow beer then will be bringing hard liquor on our own so not sure wanna order more or not... likely will just ask SMC to charge per bottle if more required..
Jaq - Great... let me know k... what design of the invitation card did you rec? If possible, can you scan me a copy of the insert cos I wanna see the chinese name for SMC as I will likely use another printer instead of their tied-up one so I need to have the details...
My card printing will be inserts (pink paper) with regular red/maroon colour link. Cos my card is dark red / maroon colour.
So cos i'm not printing on the card itself, or using gold inks/hotstamping, the printing costs should be no more than $150 for 300 inserts. that why I'm still thinking. I need to start calling up a few printers though. I have a softcopy pricelist of hi-tech and American Wedding Treasures that my coordinator forward to me. But hi-tech got a lot of mixed reviews. so thinking of alternatives.
Thomas > WPJA is a bit overrated now i think. Seems like the standard dropped a lot... and this is coming from someone inside WPJA =P
Jaq> I will be ordering from those consignment basis one.. I drank this La Minga wine from Chile as well.. It costs less than $20, so should be ordering that..
Thomas> Think I might even do card printing from T&T le... The card from OH that I have temp chosen need to have card printing instead of insert printing.. The cost of printing on the card at t-dragon is more or less similar to the card printing from T&T (plus getting the card from them).. So I might just get the card from T&T..
is there anything that looks like wine, smells like wine, tastes like wine, but is actually ribena and when people sabo me, i won't get drunk one ? ....
darrel: I know what card u talking abt le..coz my fren was ex staff there n attend 2-3 weddings there b4 as well..u compare the prices with JB de lor.see how much difference n the quality.
jaq > aiyah .. u want to see the card issit ?
lemme upload the image somewhere. My coordinator sent me the photos ... but actually i got 1 set liao ... =P
ah no la..me juz feel tat is better to compare the pricing with JB's printing..juz the hassle..for me is no choice coz is direct printing on the cards so gotta be tdragon.
i can't drink vodka for some reason .... everytime i try i end up going a very good impression of our national symbol .. (i.e. merlion)
dun have such problems with tequila or burbon though ... but that was very very very long ago liao.... been years since i drank more than a glass of wine
booy> yah lor… will def cfm with my parents again…
thomas> ehh… got mix feelings leh… heehee
colleagues here r great but not the management…
jaq> enjoy ur food tasting…. =)
yes, u muz specifically instruct the waiter/waitress during the briefing on hw to serve the wines & hard liquor…
but usually it’s ur htb to inform them as u will be busy getting dressed up at that time…
maybe u can chk with the hotel if they hv consignment for red wine?
BTW, did u manage to get the tuition job from my colleague??
alicia> usually will not gv AP to PG, VG & MUA le… cost ardy amortised in their charges le…
unless u really like their svc then gv them “yi si yi si†lor…
darrel> jaq’s method on eating butter is effective… but becareful of the after effect…
heard it’s worst than getting drunk
ds_gerl: ya we told the coordinator liaoz, will have a briefing on AD itself also..me decided to wear my teadress during the cocktail session coz my AD gown train is like 3-4 m long lol..
All> Jus curious. If aircon spolit liao and need to change to new set...need to undo existing piping and run new one? Or change the aircon unit can already? Anyone know?
my PS in dec 30 .. cos either the gown not ready ... or my photographer not in SG :S
val > it depend. if the piping is ok, they can just replace the compressor and the air con units. My house change 3 aircon liao, still using the same piping.
Chrissy> Then you need to employ reliable blockers..
Valerie> 70% is a safe gauge.. Or else you can count one by one like me.. I'm counting right now..
Usually you will change the piping together with the aircon.. The piping can be reused in some cases (e.g. same aircon brand), but not recommended.. If the piping leak in the future after you move in, it will be a super messy affair esp. if you cover up those piping.. Better to change now together with the aircon.. In this way, you can also plan the route of the aircon in accordance to how you place your furniture..
Moreover, the insulation of the piping now is also thicker, this will prevent condensation which resulted in leaking..
actually to be safe, cards/inserts can print more.. cos printing always got a minimum quantity. so if you print too little, then need to reprint, u need to meet the min quantity again. i.e. short 10, but need to print another 100.
hMm i thought usually printer will print extra based on the quantity print.. that's what T&T told me and they did for me too..so i count the no. of cards need and round up the inserts ..
ds/ellen: yup, no joke, that's what I read from the thread. Its a lady banquet manager somemore, i think she can hold her liquor quite well. That's why I want her to be my banquet manager haha
