Jasmine, ya I know shd invite her in-laws, thats y I'm ok with that, but I'm nt ok that they nvr tell us earlier.. how would we know that she need 10 seats for her in-laws.. u also have the old folks problem? our parents havent met officially to discuss abt all the details, but so far my htb n i have been checking with our own parents on wat they roughly wan.. I asked my mum abt the no of tables she wan n the amt of pj.. she say see how much in-laws wanna give them lor, is it my in-laws pay or my htb pay, if my htb pay then see how much he comfortable la, if she ask for ridiculous no or amt n he cant afford also pointless ma.. she also told me if we cn only give her 5 tables, then the other 2 tables she'll pay for it lor, n if he give tables le pj she wont take much, juz yi si yi si lor.. if she really keeps to it, then I'm lucky! as for wedding car, I shd either be borrowing fr 1 of my jiemeis or use my dad's car.. my jiemei drives a BMW 125 coupe n she rents out for wedding.. if u all interested, cn let me know, i cn help to chk with her..
Ivy, yes I agree my sil nt easy.. n I dun like it that she's gd at acting blur n try to push her way thrgh, even when I'm sure she know one juz act blur nia.. but banquet most likely gonna b a shared cost between me n htb.. n even if my htb paying, she shd also have the basic courtesy to ask or inform us earlier.. btw, I also nvr hear b4 guy side muz send someone to fetch them for the banquet.. nw modern days le ma, got own car then go ownself lor.. I only hear b4 1 of the xiongdis or jiemeis who drive go pick up parents if they dun drive.. wa, your mum like quite traditional hor? that time she also ask abt the 3 days u go back hme serve tea one rite?
Deby,ya I agree with Jasmine, u try to grp them into tables 1st then if got changes u just update along the way, if everything wait til 2-4 wks b4, u'll b v stressed one.. then like for my case, I also decided to do it early cos I'm worried I wont have enough tables, so heng I've done it already, nw I really know I dun have so many tables so those nt so shou frens I wont b inviting their partners even if I sort of know their partners.. ya, where u going for honeymoon? we also havent plan, waiting to see wats the damage to our pocket aft hse reno 1st..
