Michelle: yup, i saw SG bridal, not bad, but i am kinda more keen towards Fables, but wanna go take a look at a few b4 deciding though.
i am jst concern whether it will be too rush anot, hehe, but if i were to have my solemnization, it would be only arnd nov or dec 2011, so only 2-3 mths diff, might as well save the money. LOL~

Michelle: keke, but i haven gone down to see, im waiting for their wedding fair in JB though.
im still considering btw the 8 n 9 course, well, 9 course def look yummier but i think the previous brides here mention the 8 course food is gd too.
i think i will decide later ba. hehe.
as for candy buffet, i think i would be getting some cuppies and maybe other light snacks like chocolate eclair or something to place for the reception. but, does amara allow? i think i heard that some hotels do not allow. =/

hi ladies, i think small item choc eclair should be allowed. can try asking them first.
i think 9 course food is better looks and taste better too i think. what do you think?

shoegirl: hmmm, i also think so too. i'm quite keen on getting the 9 course too~ hehe, but htb seems to be "considering".. anyway, my list of guests seem to be increasing as the days goes by... my very first initial count was only 23 tables.. then when i was abt to book amara it was roughly 25.5-26 tables.. now seems to be 28-29tables alr.. >.<""
Hehe agree that 9 course menu looks yummier, but think i'll only upgrade the menu if i've extra budget
Shanna, good thing that Amara is flexible on the no. of table...at least u still can stretch from 23 tables up to 43 hehe Usually the no. of tables will increase nearer to date..i'm worrying the max of 43 is not enough for me hee, currently my plan is 40 tables ^.^
I'm wondering if we want candy buffet at the reception...will our coordinator helps to arrange the table setup & stuff like containers & scoop..we'll need to prepare ourselves right..?

michelle: i am actually setting my max at 30 tables though. hehe. maybe will relook into my dinner. its like, some ppl, u dont intend to invite (since not so close) but just tt they happen to know u r getting married(maybe heard from other ppl) then they like ask u, then tell u: ohh, must invite me when the time comes ok?? kinda thing n then u cant go, no~~ then if say only inviting relatives n close frens then they will go like: huh, then im not your fren meh.. bla bla, so abit hard to reject! haha but of cos, gg to act blur la when the time comes. =X
as for the candy buffet, i think u can get the coordinators to help ba. shldne be an issue, afterall u r the bride very busy alr, how to take care of such details. but i guess best to check with the coordinator ba, if they say no (which i think low chances) then get your frens or relatives to help?

i think normally is ask own coordinators to help. hotel maybe give you some plates to display or something nicer? haha can try asking.. but dont feed your guests until so full, if not food will be wastage and may not enjoy.. haha. my htb wanted to order canapes and even a candy bar to make them full.. crazy.. ahha

me dun intend to spend so much on the recept thingy le.. anyway, they will b enjoying the dinner shortly after the recept..
my no of tables also seems to b increasing..omg..!!

tink these 2 items are quite headache for us.. any lobang, share share lah..

haha, yup, im just intend to order abt 100 mini cuppies and get abt another 100 pcs of mini eclairs.. others, not very sure, maybe some mini tarts? cos dinner usually starts arnd 8pm onwards, so i was thinking to "feed" some guests who arrive early or my helpers (friends n relatives) can just nib abit here n there while they r helping out.
as for printing, im still not certain.. might jusst get amara to do it for us, to save the hassle, unless i can get very cheap from somewhere else. i think JB hv some places very cheap for printing right?? hmmmm, i think i read it from other threads b4. red wine wise, i think i hv 1 btl per table, shld be more than enough alr. hehe~ =X

to share, for e red wine, recommended is 1.5 bottle per table. for myself we budget 2 per table. intend to get those consignment so if nv open can still return. our thinking is having extras to stand-bys is safer den not having enough. =)

Hi Josky>> so where u get the consignment redwine?? care to share?? hw much per bottle u getting??

Jo: hmmm thats my intention to, will prepare extras and only pay if open n used. but hv to give clear instructions that only after the "free" btls are finished then open the new ones. as for my relatives n frens, most of them dont really take wine, as most r driving so prob wont be drinking much, so shld be quite safe, but nevertheless, will prepare extras.
For the candy buffet arrangment, will check with Afifah few mths later hehe
CH, oh ur no. of tables are increasing...hope it won't exceed 43 tables, hope i won't have this prob too, else it will be quite headache for us
How many btls of wine to u intend to buy?...i'm thinking of 50 btls.
Shanna, I'll be going to JB for my insert printing, mostly at city square T&T, at least can save $100-$200 for our pocket

Dear All,
Need some advices here.
I m oso a Sept BTBs.
CH>> Just to check, how's ur wedding prep?
I hope i m not too late?
I m doing a theme wedding and intend to start prep after CNY.
I had my pre wedding shoot during Dec last yr and the photo is almost ready.
Is it advisable to go for another pre wedding shoot in singapore or a vintange style of family shoot with my mom n two sista?
Than again,how early should i start looking for my live bands and to decide to have them or not?
I do have a few contacts on hands but not yet meet up with them.
Anyone has meet up with the florist on the discussion of the deco for your big day? If yes is how many months in advance we need to do that?
I wanted to do everything earlier cause i have a candy bar also but till now i m still in that situation of want this n that n not everything can squeeze into one big day... Phew.. so confusing haha.
Sorry for my very long "complain"
