hi junie
i had mine at SFX as well this month...its a very beautiful church hence minimal floral deco is required.. i engaged the church florist vincent.. YES, please call now to book philip lye, i booked him a year before , he is very popular..
lyons,
as for the choir, someone on this thread mentioned they are expensive, 1000 if im not mistaken, they are an award winning one(browse thru the archives for more info)
The church has got an organist as well..... think she is called mabel...
as for mass booklets , i started doing mine 2 months before the wedding and started printing about 1-2 weeks before... its good to start early as you need to send it to the priest and philip for checks...
all the best!

tks ladies!
I don't even intend to do any decor in the church cuz it's already very nice on its own
adel>> were all lights in the church switched on during your wedding? Cuz my sis had hers last yr @ SFX & they only on the front rows and the place looked kinda dark.
lyons>> R U getting Fr Ho to preside over your wedding? Cuz Fr Ho said he has a few for Oct 2007, hehee.
Not getting the choir. Very much out of my budget & I want to keep it simple.

junie,
errr... i cant remember cos i was too preoccupied with not falling, but SFX has many windows with natural light coming in so maybe they might not have switched it on, but no problem, if you want all lights on then make sure you get your helper to inform the church sacristan catherine or francis on the actual day..
diamond,
he charged me 500 plus for 16 pews, alter flowers, bridal chairs deco, lectern deco and unity candle arrangment...

whoops I figured the "PM" thing... BTW is anyone here having mass at 2pm? I was wondering whether to have a reception after that at all, cos it's fairly close to dinner, and everyone will prob be late for dinner if we have a reception! any opinions? can anyone pls share your mass booklet soft copy with me? Do PM me if u are willing... thanks!!
hey klesis,
I think it also largely depends on your crowd. If it's a small group of guests (esp mostly family), perhaps you can do away with the reception. Just do some small gift for them (eg. chcolates wrapped in nice tissue wrapper, or apples with those "Thank You" tags). My fren had a really small group (think it was 20 pple). She just gave out chocolates and the mass booklets. There was no reception...

klesis,
I guess it's entirely up to you as to whether you want a reception or not. Rather, it may be your parents' wishes to have a reception. That's what happened to me. I didn't think I needed a reception, but my mom insisted with her "How can invite people to wedding and no reception?!"

i thought of buying nice color papers and DIY myself (i.e. print from office...SSsshh, hehee) since I think the qty is not a lot.
Fifi>> yup, good to include the map of your church location for guests who do not know how to get there.
i'm intending to do that too

Hi Fifi,
map is for invites...think the mis-comm arose when everyone was talking abt mass booklets when Diamond started abt the maps. But she was probably trying to inform what else she DIY-ed.
Hi Shine,
erm, I think $1 is a bit too low. I mean, our mass booklets is ard 24 pages. Well, maybe if yours is a service, it might be less? My friend's service was 16 pages...so that's like 4 A4 pieces. So shd be less than $1.

shine, u may want to get papers from paper suppliers @ "fancy papers", located at North Bridge Road Centre. 1 rim of papers for printing can get abt 10 bucks (500 pieces).. they sell other types of good quality papers at as cheap as 10cent/piece , u can use that for making invites.
Hi Fifi,
maps ah...I drew using MS Word.
Booklets...u can use MS Publisher or MS Word. MS Publisher...just follow te steps for new publication, I guess. I used Word. Under page settings, I used "Book Fold" settings, and adjusted from there. Then I converted to PDF format and printed it lah.

Hi ladies,
Just happen to browse through your conversation.
Fyi, if you require to use the map, you can download from the website, but need to seek approval frm the authority to use it for printing & distribution. It's a very simple procedure, just send an email to the authority that's all, they would reply to your mail with approval.

hi CSI Fan,
I tried to find Book Fold under MS Word but can't seem to locate it. Can you kindly let me know under which header can I find that in?
Is it under the Page Setup of FILE header?
Tks!

Hi Junie,
It's under "File" -> "Page Setup". Margins tab.
Under the Margins tab, there's <font color="0000ff">"margins"</font>, <font color="0000ff">"orientation"</font>, <font color="0000ff">"pages"</font> & <font color="0000ff">"preview"</font>. Under <font color="0000ff">"pages"</font>, click on the drop down thingy and select "Book Fold".
Hi Fifi,
Margins-wise, I'm not too sure myself. It was trial and error for me. But I think you might have to adjust the Gutter margins (that's for the middle part of the book). My comp's default settings is for the margins to be 0mm. Think it has to be more than that...

hi there,
i have a few questions to ask the brides here. hope you all can help me.
1)if home church is booked on our date, can we do it in somewhere else. eg. non-church places like ACM?
2)is it a must to attend the marriage preparation course?

hi evian, i think catholics must be married in a catholic church in order for it to be recognised by the church. You can look for alternative catholic churches. Places like ACM cannot celebrate mass and give out holy communion.
It is a must to attend MPC if you want to marry in a catholic church
Hope this helps!

hi evian,
(1) Nope, can't do it in non-church places...unless you can get ur priest to agree. But don't think they will agree...
(2) Yes. Either MPC or EE. But can also be priest dependent. Coz I know of 1 couple that didn't attend. Best to check with the priest celebrating your mass/service...

Hi girls!
Can i check with you with regards to what we need to bring when collecting our certs from ROM?
It states in the efiling instructions that we need to have a copy of the solemniser's consent form. However, when I asked the priest from my church, he mentioned that we only need his license no.
Did you girls need any consent form?
Thanks in advance!

hi kyrie,
hehs...what was the question you put forth to the priest? Guess sometimes it depends on how the question was asked...
Yes, you definitely need the consent form. Not sure if the ROM officer will refuse to give you your cert if you turn up without the consent form, but it happened to my friend...and they took a really long time to get their cert (not sure what happened there...they didn't go into the details when telling us their story. They just kept reminding us to bring consent form! haha). The whole process (excl. waiting time) shd take about 7 min (incl. making declaration), but the friend who didn't bring the form, it took them 30min.
Just print out the form and pass it to the priest to sign. If really dun need, the priest won't sign either...hehs. But otherwise, he'll just take and sign. You only need his license no. when doing the efiling (and when filling up consent form). Subsequently, they dun ask for his license no. any more. Maybe the priest thot that you were referring to the efiling, and not the collection of documents (VD/SD).
