Hi LIlian....yest, amara changed the design...It is now much plainer than the one before.
Hi Minssy, Do you have photos of your invitation cards? And how much did it cost to print on colour paper and with photos?
U had only wordings on one side? Then what about the Chinese and English wordins?

hi littlemay,
printers go by either full color printing, 1 side or 2 side. it may cost the same, depending on printers. the amt u pay depends on the paper cost as well. my paper is normal paper so my square inserts,full color 1 side is only $0.80. there is no standard price.
i only have english wordings.. u can PM me and i can show you a copy of my card..

hi hi,
Had my foodtasting last wk liao. Overall is alright.
BBQ Suckling Pig Combination
== No suckling pig for food tasting, disappointed. Like wat sockham commented on t braised duck, it has too many bones. T jelly fish salad is too bland (neither spicy, sour nor sweet)...
Double Boiled Shark's Fin Soup with Bamboo Pith and Crab Meat
== Good. Sufficient ingredients.
Sautéed Scallop and Asparagus with X.O Sauce
== Scallop cooked just nice, QQ! T asparagus is crunchy too.
Steamed Red Garoupa with Preserved Vegetables
== V disappointing. All my guests dun like t fish texture. Dunno whether it is over-cooked or not fresh, t meat is v hard.
Coffee Pork Rib
== Hmm... It's good! Tasty enough. Coffee taste not too strong, just nice. T pork rib has a layer of fat on top, hope those health consious guests wun mind.
Sliced Abalone and Sea Cucumber with Oyster Sauce
== Not bad. Sea cucumber big enuff. But i think t abalone sliced too thin. kekeke...
Ee Fu Noodle
== Too salty. Saltish until it tasted like maggie mee. T texture of noodle is nice, QQ.
I decided on the red invitation cards.
Ching, how's Hi-Tech? U took them? Can I know where do you all get those golden strings to tie inserts to cards? Do u all tie them urself?
That's all for my report. hee...

hi lilian,
i printed inserts cos i had a picture and printers cant print color stuff on cards directly cos the wastage will be too high and the hotels cant provide you extra cards beyond the 80%.
if you are just printing normal words, then you dun even need to print inserts and can save yourself some work for tying the ribbons.
so it all depends. i decided not to put the map cos i indicated that amara hotel is just NEXT to the mrt.. so its clear lah.. no worries

reismion,
2 pcs of inserts means double t printing cost lor. I was actually thinking of printin t map at t back of the insert paper (double side). But t printer also charge $ for tat. So tats out of my plan right now.
Mayb i'll copy minssy's method - indicate tat Amara is next to Tanj Pagar MRT. keke...
Yes! T sharkfin is yummy yummy! I love it!
minssy, i'm printing english & chinese wordings lor. So need inserts rite? Dun really get wat u mean lay
Focal-Ad is providing t service of tying gold strings to t card, at 10cent per string (including t string)
So for 200 cards, we pay onli $20, & save us t time & effort. Considering....

hi mikmik,
oh i am not worried! in fact, i will get my emcees to 'appetize' them with the coffee pork ribs! *slurp slurp*
hi lilian,
ok.. put it this way:
1) No inserts
english wordings on the left of the card and chinese wordings on the right. direct printing on card using either hot stamping or single color text. the printer will explain to you more when you meet up with them.
2) Inserts (like what i am doing).
the paper has 2 sides rite? so the front side can be your english & chinese wordings like the above, and at the back of the insert, you can use the right side for the map. but i tell you its not necessary lah.. its amara hotel and its NEXT to the mrt leh.. if the guests dunnoe how to go then i dunnoe what to say
if u wanna see my card, you can PM me...

Hi gals,
I'm having my banquet at Amara in Dec. I have the following questions which I hope you gals can help me with :
1. How long does it take for the march in? My march in song is only 4 mins, is it enough? The ballroom seems quite long.
2. As the ballroom is so long, will pple seated behind have problems viewing the screen in front. I have 25 tables for my wedding.
3. The aisle seems kind of narrow...is there enough space for a very long gown....my gown is very long and wide...don't want to trip over the tables and chairs!
Would be great if someone out here can help me out! Thanks!

hi lilian,
thanx... i am doing sales but i think i have a slight drop of creativity in me i guess.. i like to make cards though...
u can print the map on another piece of paper but i tell you it may not be so nice... what size paper are you going to print one? will the paper match amara card? are you going to use extra time to cut the paper to size yourself? cos printers cant do it... do mock ups first to see the effect yourself yah..

hi lilian,
nah.. just hoped to do a card thats different from the typical ones....
ok if you wanna use the amara card, you gotta use a square insert just like mine. ask the printer to shun bian print the map for you.. extra cost but at least you get it done. dun DIY unless you are very way ahead of time cos it will be quite a bit of work.

hi socksham,
my square insert with 1 side color printing is $0.80. quite ok....
yours is 36 tables ah? should be quite tight leh.. but of cos they will not eat into the march in aisle space.. just that space between the tables will be quite narrow...
i guess old songs are ok so long as its something meaningful to you guys

hi sockham,
kpo kpo liao.. then muz write some comments mah.. keke...
Think t normal price of printing 200-300 pcs of inserts (normal ink and paper) is $80 to $100. How much is ur hotstamping?
Yours is 36+2 reserve?
I had a peek at last Fri's banquet which has 40 tbls. They opened t L-shaped function rm but it's still quite crampy.
Anyone noe how much tbl then they'll open up t L-shape?

hi minssy,
;-) heehee, ok!!
hi littlemay,
Q1 : was told that a 3min song would be sufficient.
i find that the song is even long enough for cake-cutting on stage. hehehe
Q2 : so far no such feedback abt the screen from guests. so can't really feedback much.
for 25 tables, there will be sufficient space. can ask if amara can help shift the tables further up front? only thing is that, there will be more space created at the back
Q3 : long gown no prob. i had a long train. no problem with that.
big gown ~ will be a little squeezy. cos my WG has a ballgown skirt. space was abit narrow
;-) heehee, ok!!

hi lilian,
IMO after having the banquet there, i feel the ballroom is capable of handling up to 32-34 tables comfortably. anything more, might feel squeezy cos the ballroom is long and narrow.
if i recall correctly, above 38 tables then the L-shape can be opened.
think the max the long ballroom can hold is 38. to increase to 45, must open L-shape.

Hi Gals,
Thanks for your reply....
Good! I chose "Only Time" by Enya, 3mins plus, so should be enough
Mikmik, my gown is not only long, but its also a ballgown..My gown from Divine, with the long long train one....
Hmmm...concerned about the screen...u know if they can place the screen elsewhere or do they have 2 screens?

hi littlemay,
Yes, they have 2 screens. U can place one next to t front stage, and one at t bak of t ballrm. Other than tat, dun tink there'r other places spacious enuff 2 put t screens & projectors.

Hi Lilian,
They have 2 screens? That's great!! But does that mean we need 2 projectors? Will Amara provide that?
Oh, and just wanna know if you gals think that the bride and groom mannequins and the wedding table setup at the lobby looks OBIANG? U think if many of us complain, they will remove that?

Hi gals!!! I'm most likely going for Amara for next March... hehe hope to bargain more stuff with michelle, seems like a very nice lady.
reismion, was looking at the thread earlier, how come the pic you uploaded looks different from the pics michelle shown me? The setting in your photos look much nicer... How many themes do they actually have?
Also who have seen their bridal suite? nice?

as for the bridal suite, i've been there b4. michelle took us up. it's 2 deluxe room joined as well. quite spacious. u can ask her to bring u there.

15cm x 15 cm closed card. open will be of cos 30xm x 15cm.
envelope is just 0.5cm wider so it will be a snug fit.
hi diana,

2) food and service not bad. most comments here are positive.
