smilem (smilem) > OCC replied, 1 room (non NTUC member) $300++ 1 night, exclude breakfast. If add breakfast for 3 pax, total cost will be over $400 (after ++). Like that, not much difference compared to I stay with Marriott (after 20% discount). Everywhere is so ex. Wuwuwu...

Let me try National Service Resort later

I also hav a nephew but I am staying at resort, if he needs to come early in the morning maybe a bit inconvenience for him. Moreover, after the groom fetch me home, my family will have buffet breakfast provided by the resort. If my nephew/aunt's family no breakfast to consume a bit funny hor?

smilem (smilem) > Yes, my mum's sisters & my dad's uncle also here. My nephew is small, I guess abt 5yrs only so sure will need his mum (my mum's god daughter = my 1st aunt's eldest daughter) accompany. 1st aunt's eldest daughter come, 1st aunt will sure come; 1st aunt come, 2nd aunt sure come also. But they have no transportation so their sons may come (fetch them) also. Ha^^ (mayb I think too much).

ivy>> u chose ur invites already? I've not contacted my hotel to get the cards earlier.. procrastinating..

I think they will give u the cards and the printed inserts all at one go? I'll be printing elsewhere, so I think i'm just gonna get the cards from T-dragon..

hi ivy, according to my hotel coord, u have to go down to T-Dragon to select the card, they will need 3 days to collect the cards from their warehouse.
the printing of inserts can be done with either T-Dragon or somewhere else for printing. the printing will not be completed on the same day but of course u can cnfm the printing with them on the day u select ur card. u need to get the name of your parents etc etc right first before printing mah.

=.= > Yes, but I didnt check out other stuff, only tea set, I found it slightly cheaper. AMK selling the cheapest set is abt $16.90 (if I rem correctly), but I bought the more ex one, with 'xi' deco @ S$29. I saw JB City Sq similar design, ideal collection & another accessory shop at Tun Aminah selling RM79.90.

=.= My colleague told me, she did her tea ceremony at her parent's place using her mum's teapot (which was last time her mum's jiazhuang), she only bought 1 set to her in-law place. That's mean next time if her daughter chujia, at home also using her current teapot... I checked with my mum, she said she doesnt have any last time,ha... initially plan to do tea ceremony at hotel (for my parent) then can use hotel one, nw mayb need to prepared another set.

hi stickytape: if ur BS MUA is going to do make-up for ur sisters & mum + MIL, got sufficient time?
for me, i engaged another MUA for my mum & MIL.
my 2 sisters enagaged another MUA for themselves.
cos i have another hotel room, the other 2 MUAs will do the making up & hairstyling in that room. they will start ard 4 - 4:30pm. if 1 MUA do for all of them, the MUA has to start ard 3.

hi edwin & smilem, have you tried contacting moving pics? my frd engaged him. the video not bad & rate quite cheap.

smilem: i asked my colleagues directly if they wanna attend... haha if they cant or dun wan i can invite other ppl.

weeeeeeeeeeee have i said this before?? you girls are THE BEST!!!

so helpful always!!

I haven't really thought about the time issue.. cause I had my PS and i thought my MUA didn't really take a long time to do my make up and hair. I'm going for another PS this friday so maybe i'll time how long she took. hehehehe.

btw, any additional charges for the MUA? e.g., ampoule, lashes.. etc?

my BS MUA charges me extra for ampoule, falsies and to tong my hair. i feel abit ripped off sia. but boh pian. need to be pretty. pay lor.

yes! i felt very ripped off!
my MUA charged me $25 for ampoule & $20 per pair of falsies.
she used ampoules on me & my hubby thats $50 bucks.. and i had to use 1 pair of falsies for each eye that makes 2 pairs of falsies at $40 bucks! i had to pay $90 for my PS... & u noe what.. the falsies she used can be bought for less than $10 per box of at least 10 pairs of falsies!! how i noe? cos i have at home... haha, but i remembered my colleague once told me, just pay ur MUA so that she will doll u up pretty.. if she nt happy nvr "yong xin" make-up, the photos wun look nice, the regret is worth much more than ampoules & falsies...

rina/stickytape>> my MUA (who is also the designer and the owner) does not use ampoules and doesn't charge for the falsies, his rate for per session is $150.. but he doesn't charge me for PS, so dun feel so bad cos' all included in the bridal package..

i think it all adds up to the same thing.. as long as u feel pretty without ur own effort, think it's money well spent!

rina/stickytape> My BS MUA also charge me additional for amp and eyelash during the PS. But it is mentioned by the consultant before I signed the package, total RM155 (abt S$60-70) for both me & my hubby. So I m feeling ok... My friend last time take those personal album, she brought her own fake eyelashes, the MUA looked like not very happy.
