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!

going to fairs is get better perks.. I prefer to try the gown before signing package..

 

[tulipkiss]

fixed a lunch meet-up for both of our parents, so nervous! what's supposed to be discussed before the solemnisation?

 

[cherrieseason]

Mostly is discuss like pin jin, guo da li stuff if previously have not discussed before

i asked my parents what they wanna discuss, they also dunno.. -_-

 

[cherrieseason]

Like guy side what they want the girl side to give them (e.g. Pants?) or is both side going to do comb hair tradition? How many tables they going to give to the girl side etc..

 

[j0y]

Is the a list to choose from for GDL? Haha

 

[tulipkiss]

Like guy side what they want the girl side to give them (e.g. Pants?) or is both side going to do comb hair tradition? How many tables they going to give to the girl side etc..

actually intended to discuss these only nearer to AD date.. heh. but if they really, really have nothing about solemnisation (cos alr booked and arranged) to talk about during the meetup, then i guess can start asking them about the "customary traditions" they want... GDL stuff actually advised by the geomancer too le.. now most importantly, do i need to follow geomancer timing and wake up at 3am to prepare on the AD?

our banquet cost is gonna be shared by me and htb, so i guess giving of tables doesn't really apply.. we have compiled guest list alr anyway, haha. included all the friends/families both sides' parents want to invite..

 

[tulipkiss]

any recommendation for wedding hand bouquets?

 

[floralovee]

Any recommendation for cheap and good photobooth or instaprint?

 

[tulipkiss]

thinking of getting a friend to help take photos for solemnisation.. gonna last around an hour + half hr of reception.. how much should we give as token of appreciation?..

Hi Tulipkiss, maybe can try bqueens? I saw some of the btbs (from one fb page) recommend bqueens. Tho I didn't try them as I have my own bridal studio that provides me with the gowns..

 

[j0y]

I'm wondering if it's alright for friends to attend my wedding or us to attend weddings within +/-3mths. Anyone knows?

 

[Clara Lin]

[Mila99]

hi all!
its exactly two months to my AD!
and omg.. i think i still have many things to do..starting to panic already!..

btw do u all have any recommendations where to buy dress for jiemeis?
also, any idea what to buy for GDL and an chuang?
i havent print invitations cards too! how long does it take to print?

 

[Jotys88]

My AD's one day before yours Oh better to get the printing done fast! Cos they take about 12 working days for mine. I haven't gotten the GDL and an chuang stuffs too.. I know Chinatown has a few shops. Will check them out soon! For jiemeis dresses can go to city plaza to check out wholesale ones..

 

[Mid0r1]

I don't have Gdl though....

Hehehehe....

I will try to start writing and sending my invites from this weekend on ba.


By the way can anyone explain how does an Chuan work.

Coz my new house not ready and I will be using my bed for the an Chuan temporary.

Can that be done? If so, what's the format?

Was thinking of doing the night before AD

 

[Clara Lin]

An Chuang u need to choose an auspicious time and date for both urself and htb.. adjust abit of the bed and change a new set of the bedsheets will do since u are not doing GDL... unless u are doing a full set GDL then an Chuang have to get the an Chuang stuffs to place on the bed etcs

Mine is on 23 November, Monday. Having it at carpenter and cook cafe. Yours?

Statutory declaration is done at rom a few days before your rom, where u need to swear some stuff and sign the declaration doc. That u haven't been married etc. u will be doing that before u collect your cert.

 

[LHC]

Yup.. Raffles Marina @ Tuas

YAY. Finally found someone who are having their banquet at Raffles Marina too! Haha. Hi! How was your wedding?

 

[dumboec]

Hi All BTBs, just ended my wedding. To share my experience with Zwedding was a mixed feeling. Definitely Grace Liew my consultant made my experience with Zwedding nothing at all pleasant and a total nightmare if I were to say. I will never forget how blatantly rude she was and her aftermath attitude. And to think that she was one of the senior consultant. However, not to fault the rest, I have to say the rest of the team who helped me along the way was brilliant and that made my remaindering journey with them a breeze! Hope no brides to have to go through the same horrible experience as me.
