Mine start at 8am till 4pm. Include make up. I only ate breakfast and then eat again after the shoot. It's really hot and tiring and the gown is also very heavy, so I don't have any mood to eat ha ha : )

Oh by the way do you gals ask your gf to acc you during your pws?

Quite rare pple will ask friends or family to tag along during the pws. Usually just the couple involved, the couple and Photographer may feel more easy if lesser party involved.
Anyway, at yr comfort lvl lor.

Hi girls.. Feeling quite stressed now. We suddenly decided to have our dinner banquet on 30 Dec 15 (yes this month!). We already had rom last month and my husband wants to just get everything over with (+ other practical reasons).

It's kinda late now so I need to decide asap who to invite. I personally would like a small intimate event (don't like parties and large crowds). Our ROM of 20 pax was perfect. However, my husband wants to invite his colleagues.

My biggest headache now is should I invite my colleagues?

I really hate the feeling that some ppl will feel obliged to come. Worst of all, I am thinking of resigning soon. My department is quite large, about 70 ppl. Based on the last few weddings, only about 3 tables r needed. I think I cannot choose who I want to invite, must invite all. If I don't invite, I'm not sure if ppl will think they r not impt.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Hey dear, firstly u need to discuss uss with your hubby on the budget and come up with a preliminary guest list of maximum how many ppl will attend.. Then from there zoom down. If budget allows, invite your colleagues. If budget doesnt allow then don't invite them..

Wedding is for ppl to bless u. Not for u to worry who u offend becos u didn't invite them..

Yes actually hotel is booked already. Min 120 people which is not alot.

We have budget for colleagues, as we are not inviting many ppl anyway.

I am facing slightly similar scenario but not a rush banquet.

I have 30 colleagues but i am close with 10 only. So now feeling confuse whether to invite the other 20. Yet some where during work we will need each other help. If invite all, they might be "force" to come.

Yet to come to a conclusion, but most likely I will tell them not enough tables to invite all then bring some cakes for them to announce my wedding :) Happy and simple for everyone.

Yours is so rush, personally, it would be better to invite some close one. No need the rest to be "forced" to go since your wedding so rush. Perfect reason not to invite all!

Hi BTBs! Any reviews for Grand Copthorne, Regent Hotel, Orchard Hotel and Hilton Hotel? In terms of their service, food and venue!
Also, I am quite keen on Z Wedding. Can anyone recommend any good wedding coordinator, PG, MUA and hair stylist from Z Wedding? :)

I was at Hilton two weeks ago. Food was not bad, service was prompt and courteous but I felt the ballroom was kinda claustrophobic. And it was a rectangular one.

Some btbs pay for the food tasting first and sign on for the banquet later on. I decided to carry on with the banquet first and try the food tasting next month, so I really hope the food is good too!

Skyve
$45++ (canapes), $60++ (buffet lunch)

Spruce
$35 - $56 ++ per pax (western set lunch)

Cafe Melba
$45 - $60 ++ per pax (buffet)

Found this based on the research I did when venue hunting, hope it helps! I think there should be more options out there as well.

That's nice of your gf! I'm hoping that my MoH will be able to come along and help with mine as well. Helium would be good if you want your balloons to float and I think they will look more romantic since they can move with the wind. Failing that, you can use those balloon sticks to hold up the normal kind of balloons.

I worry is the time constraints.. but most importantly is to source AD PG&VG first.. actually we hav another option is using our bridal but only decide after the pwd shoots r out n we satisfied... or maybe decide using my sis's one since her is in next jan...

Hi all BTB 2016 :)

Anyone has any advice and recommendation for VG? My BS suggested us to get 2 VGs... but it cost about $2.5K for 2, excluding cab fare and OT charges.

Also is it norm to pay for cab fare? it would be 4 trips of cab fare in total, which would cost like $120 estimate...

I only heard from others that the cab fare for morning.. Shouldn't be whole day for all the cab they take? Maybe it depends on each BS also.

It's whole day. So will need to pay
1. To my place in the morning
2. After morning's session
3. Come back hotel
4. After dinner

Alternatively we can get brothers to send them back.

I met up with a few company haven't heard of the need of paying for their transport.
We signed up with Forest Productions, was really comfortable chatting with them and looking at their works.

Any of you planning to get a dessert table? When and where are dessert tables usually set up during a wedding? My first instinct was to have them as part of the banquet, so the table would be set up in the main venue but my coordinator advised that I hold mine during the pre-reception. The reception only lasts for about an hour or less though, and only the early guests will get to eat anything.

I see. Mine is just early surcharge but no taxi.

But yah. I think getting ppl to send them would be better. Check if they are ok with such arrangements.
