hi ashlady

i will suggest not to use CJS. I received very bad attitude in their services for my ROM, when I engaged them. Besides, hot food were served cold.

Among the few in your list, I would greatly recommend Smiling Orchid. They are very good in their dim sum...

ashlady · Apr 13, 2006

Thanks a lot, Ivy!

wyy · Apr 13, 2006

hello....i am back

mehmeh_lim · Apr 13, 2006

hi Ivy,

Hmm, i listed it down for u in an earlier post.. It has been archived oredi. Check the latest.. I haven't added any links of late, so i can't quite recall if the steps i mentioned are correct. Think u need to play ard with the settings on the site

hi Ashlady,

Suggest tt u start narrowing down ur options.. Sometimes too many options aren't tt helpful too. Since u prefer having melamine ware, then gear twd those which provide u with such. But i do find melamine ware kinda heavy if there aren't chairs or standing 'bar-tables'

Just continue to keep a lookout..

hi YY

*waves* welcome back!

small_one · Apr 15, 2006

mehmeh...

tried liao... can't find anything that even allows me to upload links in the first place... was wondering if you upgraded your mlitply site though...

mehmeh_lim · Apr 15, 2006

hi Ivy,

Oops.. I def din upgrade my site. Is there even the links options showing up on ur site? Head there, then i think it shd show an option to 'add links' on tt page.

Or maybe coz my site was set up a long time back, the option was available to me. Some of my other contemporaries who also started using last year, i think did manage to have links..

small_one · Apr 15, 2006

hm... shall check out again...

currently playing around with disney's website... hahaha

small_one · Apr 15, 2006

it doesn't have any add links options on the home page contents page though...

nvm, will continue exploring.

small_one · Apr 15, 2006

mehmeh

i have finally found out how to add links liao... but really thank you for trying so hard to help me... so sorry to keep bugging you about it.

mehmeh_lim · Apr 15, 2006

hihi Ivy,

Greatgreat! If i set up Multiply the same time as u, then i wld be able to offer better assistance.

No worries abt the bugging.. heheh, i cld only offer so much info though. *oops* Haf a gd weekend

childlike · Apr 15, 2006

hi ladies,
its me again. wah being very stressed each weekend preparing the stuff.
anyone has a sample copy of thank you speech to give during church wedding and during wedding dinner? mehmeh, anyone?

mehmeh_lim · Apr 15, 2006

hi ericia,

so sorry.. i din have a thank you speech prepared. mine was heart-felt words tt came to mind

U cld try Wedding Acts under Advice by the Experts: http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/messages/404/158544.html?1145096188

childlike · Apr 15, 2006

ok thanks mehmeh. i am just too lazy and tired to think of sth... just wanna copy

mehmeh_lim · Apr 15, 2006

hi Ericia,

No dun think u're lazy.. It's okie to have a prepared speech, coz some ppl do get tongue-tied when they are in front of a large crowd.

the general guideline wld be to thank ur parents/ILs/family members/guests & helpers. Of coz any other relatives who had played a significant role in assisting/encouraging u 2, can also be included in the thanksgiving speech

Maybe ur banquet coordinator fr the hotel wld have sthg to offer u too.. My hotel did give us a guideline for the emcees, though not the thanksgiving, so ur hotel must just have what u need

Hmm, but in my honest opinion, i think it wld be great to craft ur own speech, coz it's sincere & tt u can only say it once! So u might not want to forget the ppl u want to thank, and the prepared speech wld come in handy

ggjj · Apr 17, 2006

hi gals,
my wedding day album is ready.. but only for day.. night still in process.. same link as before..

tried to tidy up the pics sequences.. but that is too time-consuming.. so some of the pics not in sequence.. have not received my coffee table album yet..

count · Apr 17, 2006

Ericia
Re thank you speech, i think mehmeh has covered the contents comprehensively already

Maybe u may want to include the couple (if any) tt conducted PMC for u both

Ivy dearie
So sad. Don't think can visit Greenpoint with u anytime soon, unless u can wait until late May. Still trying to tie down caterers with the other BTB before she goes overseas, and must hunt for EG shoes before 1st fitting which is in a months' time. Sigh. And have to help FH move house as well as change in boss and job scope. The changes at work are quite drastic now, esp the proposed changes cos they will triple our workload. Just hope admin realises tt the proposals are unworkable and need modification

Btw, what dishes did u like fr Smiling Orchid? Heard another BTB praising their desserts too?

Ashlady
Tried dropping u a PM but can't do so. Perhaps u cd drop me an email at [email protected] so we'd know each other's names and identify each other at PMC. Can't believe PMC starts on Thu. Wkdays are surely gg to be even busier now...

Ggjj
Must share pics when they're up ok? Btw what is the original link? Want to see ur flowers and deco cos i recall them being very pretty hee

Hey all
Would appreciate prayers and advice on how to handle the situation i'm in now. FH's parents suddenly decided to increase no of tables for dinner, and insist on inviting more guests and relatives. We originally agreed on 25 tables for them and FMIL even showed FH a detailed breakdown of the guest list. Tt's why we went ahead to book our venue. Now they claim tt they nv intended to invite so few only and wanna increase the no of tables. While our ballroom can accommodate perhaps 5 more tables, it'd be a tight squeeze and my parents would be miffed cos they wanted to increase and i refused cos of space constraints. FH's parents also want invites with English and Chinese words, as well as Chinese announcements during dinner...

So now in a dilemma cos on the one hand, it is not in my place as FDIL to interfere but on the other, it may mean tt FH and i have to exclude our frens altog fr the dinner juz to accommodate the increase in nos. Kinda worried abt how this will turn out cos i don't wanna spoil relations with the ILs, nor serve as a bad testimony for God (FH's parents are non-christian)

Really need tact to deal with this, and for them to be understanding abt limiting the guest list. We suggested excluding children and inviting some of their frens to church but they seem resistant to the idea...

mehmeh_lim · Apr 17, 2006

hi ggjj,

*yipppeee* finally can peek at Kuang's works for ur wedding.. Hmm, like what count mentioned, u din post a link (as far my memory takes me). But u did post some pix here & there which ur VG had given u.. Those were pix of ur Conrad deco & some pix of ur gowns made by Kim

mehmeh_lim · Apr 17, 2006

hi all,

*sorry* for not updating the table faithfully.. Does anyone have any updates? Any of the new sisters here have any details u wld like to furnish?

Thanks dear

Ashlady, see u tm at PMC! Hope we can make it on time and get off work punctually. Heh

sandsand · Apr 19, 2006

hi ladies!!! I'm back!!!! *hugs everyone*

i'm so bushed from work man.. today i refuse to work.. i shall take some time off from my work now and type in this forum.. hee.. wah.. the thread move so fast i cannot catch up..

Ivy, glad that everythings settled for u..

count:how about you tell your parents about the space constraint? then tell them they can haev their increase in tables if they dont mind their friends and relatives COMPLAINING about how tight the place was, how uncomfrotable they were, etc... see if it works lor.. If they dont care, maybe they will suggest looking for another hotel, then u tell them about the deposit, ask them to pay for the deposit if u book somewhere else. see how lah.. just a suggestion.. keep us updated ok..

i went for my gown selection on saturday.. quite fun yet tiring.. hee.. managed to try on quite a few gowns..

U're finally back! Really hope ur work lightens up soon. Will get FH to talk to his parents, hopefully things can be worked out. In the meantime i must stay positive!

What gowns did u pick? Update!

Welcome Mona and Shann!

Shann, i've been looking for florist and caterer but not much progress so far cos i've no time to go down to visit them. Only visited Woodsville with Ivy so far. As for Lavish, thinking of using them also but they've been v slow in responding to emails and trying to coordinate a food tasting. Have u tried their food or met them yet? What other caterers have u shortlisted?

Mona
Westley is a very very pretty church! I love their red ceiling and chapel cos it looks v cosy. My fren got married there and her photos turned out really well. The entire ambience there is fantastic! U must take the classic shot of u and FH kissing with ur WG train in the foreground, the stained glass in the background and the red ceiling. All my girlfrens were gushing abt how pretty those shots were

Ivy
How come u decided to change church? Is Trueway nearer for u? Do u still need a church florist, cos u said ur frens are doing church deco for u? Really sweet of them, thank God for His blessing in this form. I also wish i had frens to do deco for me but too bad, all my frens are not inclined in this area

small_one · Apr 19, 2006

frankly I am still abit blur with regards to the church florist issue... I am thinking about getting a basic package and for my friends to do up the organza links between the pews... Really thank God for a very creative friend. She flows quite well with me, in terms of decorative ideas.

We decided that Trueway was more ideal, as it was nearer to our banquet venue and it is parked alongside the MRT station. And last but not least, we could invite more people for church.

ggjj · Apr 19, 2006

hi mehmeh and count,
sent already..

mehmeh_lim · Apr 19, 2006

hi ggjj,

Saw the mail... Will peep later

sandsand · Apr 20, 2006

IVy, Trueway will also be quite comfortable for ur guest... did and attended a wedding there b4.. nice place..

count: remember i told u b4, 8 gowns too many? that day i felt like it was too little.. haha. I got blues, purple, peach, cream and whites.. and mainly bustiers and 2 halters.. got one off shoulder but the more i see the more i dont like.. so wanna change it.. but i am so happy. I went up in march and tried on this blue satin bustier... very nice but too tight. THis time round i went up and they altered it smaller!! (Cos someone else wore it) but i can still fit in leh!! can zip all the way up!! Yeah!! Thank God I lost weight!! now got more motivation liao... haha..

Thanks for sharing ur photos! Really pretty! I always liked Kuang's style and i think he did a great job of capturing the emotions of ur wedding. Did u make an effort to stay out of the sun before ur AD? Cos u're so fair like Snow White, and it goes really well with the ivory colour of ur WG. I sure wish i had such fair complexion. Sad to say, i'm a bit more "yellow" boo hoo

Ivy
Trueway sounds like a gd choice, esp since it has a greater capacity and more convenient location. IMHO it is a smart choice to get a basic package and get ur frens to do up the organza links. Cos Woodsville's charges for the organza are too ex, even Mehmeh agreed. So letting them do part of the deco will ease the load on them and also save $

Ribbons
Wah so many gowns to try, exciting! Congrats on ur wt loss! How much wt did u lose? Have u been dieting and exercising? I think i gained wt instead. Cos i've been eating a lot of late dinners and suppers, and snacking a lot. Don't know why, maybe it's cos of the changes at work so subcons feel a bit more frazzled

Ashlady
Was hunting thru my stuff and both FH and i can't find the marriage prep workbook. Argh! Which means we'll have to go empty handed tonight to PMC! How many caterers have u looked at already? I emailed Angeli asking them if they had a $10 wedding tea reception and they said min is $12. Sigh. Budget constraint. Don't know how also

Mehmeh
Saw ur church invites and love it! Very very nice! How did u do it up? In MS word or pdf then send to the printer? Did u use Axxa and how much are their charges for such invites?

ashlady · Apr 20, 2006

hi count,
what marriage prep workbook?!?! heh..i dont have lei! *opps* Nevermind la...we go empty handed together

Oh, i've only talked to CDCS & four seasons. Just realised actually i no need halal coz the muslims are having fasting during the Sept month..as long as no pork/lard (for the Hindus) can already. I'm going down to Rasel this weekend to take a look. See you later!

monyetnakal · Apr 20, 2006

Hi Ggjj, if you dun mind, could you send the link to ur photos to me too? Just started preparing my wedding, so need to see other people photos to get some ideas. Thanks. my email: [email protected]

small_one · Apr 20, 2006

Ribbons

yup, do agree that Trueway is pretty comfy for guests and the hosts. Cos Trueway is just 10 mins away from my in-laws place, 15 mins from my parents' place and 20 minutes away from mine. and it is so near to my banquet venue. Think about 10 minutes can reach liao.

Count

Yup, really am thinking about taking up a basic package and my friend will help with the organza pew links... but must get confirmation from my hubby first.

mehmeh_lim · Apr 20, 2006

hi Count,

Thanksthanks! I did my version in MS word, got a gd fren to translate it into Photoshop format

I not so IT-savvy! kekeke

Yupz, used Axxa.. I think for the 360+ cards i printed, i was quoted $0.70 (inc envelopes)

sus_sus · Apr 20, 2006

Hi All
I am newbie too.
Solm in June and banquet in Aug.

Pls add me and i also have some qns for more experienced BTBs:

1) Proposal ring given by FH is too big and slip off even when i wore it on my middle finger. So i am getting it changed but wonder to how much smaller. Is proposal ring supposed to be on middle finger or ring finger?

2) For us christians, is there a need to go thru GDL? If so, what to or not to follow?

3) FH must go out personally hand deliver invites but thats so tiring and time consuming. What did you gals do for this extending of invites? Mail or hand deliver? You tink its ok if i get our retired parents to do the road running of hand delivering the invites instead?

Hmm ... tats all for now but i may have more qns, i am a really clueless BTB.

Thanks for sharing if any! God bless!

ashlady · Apr 20, 2006

hi Ivy,
can teach me how to create "links" at multiply? hee..

small_one · Apr 20, 2006

you just insert the following into your URL address

http://(yourmultiplyID).multiply.com/links/compose

small_one · Apr 20, 2006

Ashlady

remember to change the bracketted area to your multiply ID leh

ashlady · Apr 20, 2006

Wow..cool! Thanks a lot, Ivy!

sandsand · Apr 20, 2006

mehmeh.. share u invites with me too leh..

Ivy: if u wanna save more cost, u can try getting the florist to provide the pew flowers and u put it up yourself. Since ur friend is doing the pew runner already, might as well have one group of pple doing it.. Then florist wise, they will cut the labour fees for that lor..
I dunno lah but u can try..

mehmeh_lim · Apr 20, 2006

hi Ribbons,

It's on my site

heehee..

hi Ivy,

U have to add links as such ah? Hahha, quite interesting

hi Sus,

Welcome! Bz at the moment... Drop my comments later on

small_one · Apr 20, 2006

mehmeh

yar lor... very troublesome, cos you dun see the link creation links anyway, so got to typr in for insertion of the first link...

i did a search on multiply and found someone who had the same problem. only difference was he found the solution and shared it with everyone else.

sus_sus · Apr 20, 2006

Thx mehmeh!

Look forward to any clarifications.

I am real lost now and almost fighting with FH. Sigh ...

lilic · Apr 20, 2006

hi sus sus

my personal opinion to your questions

1) I wear my proposal ring on my left ring finger and also intend to wear it with my wedding band after the wedding on the same finger.. there is no hard and fuss rule.. it depends on wat you like

2) GDL is not a need per say.. its merely a custom for the groom's family to show how they valued the bride.. usually the bride's parents will request for certain items of gifts (like oranges, cakes, pin jin, si dian jing, etc)

depending on your family's customs, GDL can vary across families.. for example, my parents will only be requesting for some traditional cakes from my bf for GDL.. while i knew of frenz had hundred and one things for their GDL.. i din know of any GDL customs that will contradict bible. (ladies, do correct me if i am wrong)

3) why do you say that your FH must hand deliver invites the invites personally?? i dun think this is a must.. rather, this is a form of courtesy to your guests and an added personal touch to the invite... but it also depends on your relationships with the guests.. getting your parents to deliver for you defeats the initial purpose why your FH want to hand deliver the invites personally unless those are their frenz or relatives..

alternatively, you may want to call your guests and render the invite via the phone.. then tell them that the paper invite will be mailed out to them.. and mail out the invite on the same day.. this is personalised but less time consuming..

these are small matters, dun need to fight over them.. take time to communicate and keep your cool..
