Hows everyone preparation? It's getting nearer!! *excited*
Hi Clara Lin,

I also dunno what else to prepare as the past 2 mths was too busy with the hse reno and start to bring some stuff over to new hse too.

As I am more of a DIY person, I made my own props and intending to do a simple backdrop so that everything can be captured using polaroid films.

How about ur preparation so far?

Wa. looks like it will be very stressful for you as the reno starts in Oct and wedding in Nov. Just my reno itself is already draining me n htb.. Hmm, I suggest you better go for food tastings (if both your parents don't like lunar 7th month). Since you will only be collecting keys in Sep and starting reno in Oct, maybe you try to schedule or plan a draft itinerary for your Wedding first..

Ytd just spoke to htb to have a draft of the itinerary. Haha.

It's gonna be a stressful one.. hence start getting stuffs that meant for the hse.. the rest will just leave it with the contractor. Phew, just cfm the food tasting on 5 sep & alot more to do and prepare esp GDL. Wedding itinerary had aldy done beforehand just need to make amendment as date is nearer. since it's lunch banquet we also do it simple.

Hi hi...I'm also Nov BTB..jus finish my hse reno n now start to plan for my AD. I've alrdy booked venue, PG. just tt my HTB n I not intend to hv gate crashing n no VG. Will it look "empty" during the lunch banquet? Advices needed... Thx thx :)

I doing gate crash but not engaging VG. Htb says it's waste of money.. anyway, we had attended many weddings.. most of the guests are there catching up with each others rather than watching the video.. hence it doesn't matter whether it's empty anot.. the guests normally can self entertain..

Hahaha yes that's about all. I think we are all on the same track!! That's great! Guodali can order from the Chinese wedding shop.. I haven't ordered yet cos it's still 7th month now.. Table arrangements and guestlists i heard is the most time consuming.
 
I bought my sewing machine miniature set @ $35.90.. Not sure about the pricing for the pic I shared earlier.. Coz I find the sewing machine is those traditional type & unique..

Sorry I do not have the pic to share.. Coz its 7th month I can't search and share..

The pic I shared earlier is I took when I bought my guo da li stuff before 7th month.. :)

No they are not the cheapest... but I like their things and the 2 others shop best.. heard that the more cheaper ones is at Chinatown.. not sure about other areas as I stay in the east, I only look at guo da li shop in the east side and Chinatown.

yup I understand haha... there's 2 I went to at Chinatown.. 1 is the cheaper de which I don't really like the design of the things.. the other that I went to the salesperson keep telling me stuff like 'if I confirm want to buy she will go take other design of the things which is not on display' & 'next time u come u bring your mom come and I explain more in details to you' which I was pissed off coz I went to see first is to shortlist those shop that I like..

And I have visited the shop at city plaza (paya lebar) their package do not have the face towel if I recall correctly though the salesperson is quite nice..

Hope it helps.. :)

For the shuangxile, is actually online shopping right? Quite worried if the items delivered are broken or not complete...

they have a physical shop at square 2 (novena). better see the things that they sell before you make a trip down.

you can order first, they will ask your guo da li date and arrange a date for you to collect or deliver (delivery charges applies)...

Hi hi if you are using iPhone, can try to search for invitation cards under the apps store. There're many apps for you to choose and design your Save the Date. I just downloaded the app Quill, will be trying it later...

anyone has experience with going down to the bridal studios to look for gowns individually before signing any packages?..

I went down to the bridal studio to see the actual gown before signing package coz I get to try the gown.. btw when is your wedding date?

seems like many people do that. i'm not sure why i had the impression that it's better to secure package at fairs before going to the studios, hurhur..

my solemnisation is nov'15 :) AD is mid 2016!
