erm, well, Select told me that they usually will prepare 20% extra on top of what you order. In case last min got extra pple, and customer didn't say...and also, they prefer to give extra food, so that wun have situations where there's not enough food - wun look good on caterer also. That's what the sales person told me lah. heehee...
I think asking for 10-20% less is ok. Some are kids or old folks who wun eat as much as the average guy, kinda thing...
Sorry ah bride, very busy at work. Haven't found the pics for you yet...

<font color="119911">hi minssy, spoke to another person in CJS and the service was different
She sent me a package with so many choices to choose from but it's lesser than the number of items in the $12 menu la. As expected. But at least she gave a choice so it's much better now. I like CJS' variety in choices for each item (e.g. they have at least 5-6 different type of choices for vegetables even!) but they give lesser dishes than other caterers like Mum's Kitchen and Four Seasons. And their package also not as comprehensive. Really torn between these 3 caterers... HELP!</font>
Hi everyone.. I am planning my AD in Dec 07. Would like to do it on a Mon eve, but it seems that all Catholich Church weddings hav to be done on a Sat/weekdays.. Any idea whether can church ceremony b done on Sunday ? I prefer not to hav a lapse of 1 day in-btw my church wedding and AD.. Thx
hi bride,
go with the one that has nicer food... cos that's what the guests will remember.. not as comprehensive nevermind. ultimately, you can only choose that much..dun get too vexed with it.. go with recommendations and whom u r more comfortable with
hi bebel,
typically churches DUN do church weddings on sundays cos its mass day mah.. anyway, my wedding was a monday morning.. church weddings are normally in the day time.

<font color="119911">hi minssy, you're right! People usually remember the food, not the deco hor
Ok, can't wait to taste the food... CJS' new quotation is really good in the sense that they give you so many choices! I'm trying to convince them to give us a tasting but seems like they don't do such things. Did you do tasting with them, Minssy? Cos if not by word of mouth, how would we know if their food is good leh?
Hi bebe, most churches don't allow masses on sundays. Perhaps you can consider saturdays? If must weekday then you must consider also the guestlist cos people will have to take leave.</font>

hi bride,
normally caterers dun provide fodo tasting, except some really big ones during the bridal shows.. thats why go with recommendations or food that u had tasted yourself personally... for me, i dun have food tasting either. i got a recommendation and went with them after comparing CJS with a few others...

But thanks for the assurance
If my wedding in oct, when would be a good time to file for ROM? Then after filing must go to ROM to collect issit? Then bring to the priest? Does this happen before or after the inquiry? Alamak, blur about these things...</font>

Hi bride,
Don't panic. Mine's 2 months away!!! *PANIC* Haha.
You can file anywhere from 3 months before, but not less than 25 days. Once file, ROM will give you the date/time on when you are suppose to collect (usually 3 days before AD). Then bring to the priest/church immediately for processing. After AD signing, must bring to ROM for MORE processing. Inquiry is independent of this filing so you can do the inquiry any time.

after AD still bring to ROM for more processing? My priest did that for us leh...so you might want to check with your priest if he would be sending the docs back to ROM on your behalf. But before you file online, make sure you have the priests' license number on hand...then can just key it in straight away...makes the process faster...
Regarding food tasting for caterer, Select didn't state that if there is such a thing, but I called to request, and they did prepare (had to go down to their office in ulu Senoko) a spread for us (we ta bao-ed quite a lot home too...hahaha). So maybe you can try to request for food tasting too?

but 1/2 correct. normally the priest will submit the documents for you Hi ladies,
Anyone need to buy Unity Candles? There is this shop in Chai Chee Ave which I bought my candles for less than $40 and it was customised.
The shop is having a moving out sale now, 30% to 50% discount, think it will be worth to go take a look as they also sell wedding stuff like Ring Pillows, Ang Bao Box, Wedding Favours etc.
Do let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks dears. Great to hear that the priest can help send back. Thought had to do it personally. Makes one less place to run to after the whole AD. Now only need to go to the bridal studio to return all the stuff.

Hi girls,
Got a question. If my church doesn't allow confetti (I think most churches don't), what is my flowergirl suppose to do?

So basically just walk and look cute hor?
Haha.
Don't think I will ask my flowergirl to do anything, only 2.5 years old. If she actually manages to make it down the aisle, I'll be very grateful already.

hmmm...my flowergals just held on to a bouquet of hydrangea each, looked pretty, and walked in time/rythmn/to the beat of the march-in music...that's all.
Kids will be kids lah...dun give them too much expectations. Just let them appreciate the importance of the event, and they will outperform themselves...

Hi CSI Fan,
Yup, kids will be kids. That's why I'm not expecting anything much. In fact, many people told me that many kids get stage fright on the actual day. So I'm already prepared to walk in on my own (with my dad of course).
This way, if the kids DO perform, it will be a nice bonus! Did think of carrying my cousin's kid in with her holding my bouquet, but everybody say I crazy. But she very cute one mah...

Hi CSI Fan,
Ya, I sorta gave up the idea after at least 5 people pronounced me crazy when I suggested it.
I need to get a tiepin and/or cufflinks for my BF as a tea ceremony gift from my parents. Anyone have any suggestions where there are nice ones? Looking for simple classy designs.

I saw nice ones at Anthropology yesterday. Thought of buying these pair of cufflinks with the "XI" words for my FH, but still contemplating.
Also, there's this shop called Roff at Bugis Icon, designs of ties are cufflinks are nice, but the quality of ties is quite short of expectations.
