Jengcc...
yes, the next one is me...now like "ken cheong spider" liao...ha ha ha
For Ping Jin, its very individual, some will ask for more cash, less table etc. As long as both parent meet up & discuss, should be all right to settle it.
I am cantonese, hence my hubby will buy a roast pig (will buy in malaysia when we hold our wedding dinner there), that is additional cost. We dont have Xi Dian Jin, so save money there, but my in law did bought me jewellry ( happy that i choose the design i like).
I think i am consider lucky to have such understanding parent in law and my dad also easy going, although i need to prepare for actual day in Spore and another banquet in Msia, but not very headache afterall.
The only headache is too many guests, not enough table, and mother in law lost count on her invitation guest list.
Anyway, i will settle it as i have 3 more tables can be added to the ballroom. This is my strategy as already foresee this things happened, so still within my control...
