i so blurAll ladies here, need to seek some opinion... For the wedding favors, there's only the stamps option and the chocos available. My hubby and myself were v inclined to go ahead with the stamps. However, my dad (being v conservative) was telling me that it arent safe to put pics of ourselves and give it away. Just in case got some funny people do weird stuff behind our backs... Does anyone here have advices to share?

mawie, i initially wanted stamps, but i tink most them will juz use the stamp n throw our pic into the bin. so i'll juz get the chocolates. am tinking if i shd get cupcakes as additional favours.
kks, i went for my food tasting on 21oct, it was quite disappointing.. of all the 8dishes (i changed mine to romance menu, lugi one dish!!) oni the shark fin n scallops+asparagus is good, the rest all kenna so-so comments fm my in-laws n family. the worst was the lotus rice, we barely touched, left more than half. we had tis changed to ee-fu noodles for our AD. tink for my own wedding, my expectations was high coz the last two times i attended wedding a club chinois, the food was great.
i haven choose the flowers n table cloth colour yet, eric told me choose one week before can liao.
now i'm in the midst of writing my invitation cards, hopefully can send it out over the weekend.
my PS album already collected in aug n some of my frens n relatives had already viewed it during my housewarming in sept.
my GDL will be on 09dec, MIL haven even go shopping for my SDJ. she said she's getting me white gold n not yellow gold coz she tink youngsters dun like yellow gold liao. i dun tink she's bring me along to choose. i prefer yellow gold though i dun wear coz it's more valuable. now the price keeps going up lor.

Hi Agnes,
If you plan to have cupcakes, will there be too much sweet edible giveaways? Not planning to have any momento? Just my personal opinion
Sorry I cant recall the two other menus other than Romance. I chose Romance for mine, change to vermicilli and yam paste for dessert. So which one did you initially had?

mawie, i'm still unsure on the cupcakes la...
my iniital menu was Regal, which was the old menu which still has 9 dishes. mi so stupid, my MIL wanted cold dish n my mum wans suckling pig, so i changed to Romance menu. i shd haf oni changed the 1st dish. *bang wall
for changing to yam paste, did u top up?

mawie, Regal was the previous menu before they introduced Valentine, Romance, etc. it's the 2nd expensive one but i dun tink the suckling pig was a whole one.
i dun really like the mango cream, so i tot of changing to yam paste but my my hubby dun allow. is the yam paste good?

Parmida, yup.. Romance menu is nt dat bad, juz dat it's 1 dish lesser than the Regal menu which i had for chose earlier when i signed the contract with CC.
Mawie, yam paste is my favourite too! nw trying to pyscho hubby to let mi change the mango cream to yam paste. i tink still haf time coz i haven fax the confirmed menu letter back to Eric.

Agnes, I guess with anise's assurance on the yam paste, we should be ready for a great sweet note to end our wedding dinner
Btw, how many tables are most of you expecting? cox they could seat only 17 tables in the restaurant main hall, so who do you guys choose to sit in the private rooms?

my hubby said not many ppl wan to eat yam paste leh
but he said if i wan i can go ahead n change the mango cream to yam paste.. but i tink my MIL sure say i beri lay chey lor
mawie, i am serious considering to change the mango cream to yam paste.. but need to consider wat MIL will tink.
i'm expecting abt 27tables but i'm using the Antica ballroom n not CC itself.

i was at the wedding show too. tot the carpet inside CC full of black unsightly spots leh. Food was ok. The ballroom looked plain but I guess for the price, CC's offering's reasonable la. Could anyone kindly suggest the next best alternative? I dun mind paying a bit more.
Hi Cindy,
the last time when i went down to place the deposit, the ballroom carpet had some stains too, on the contrary it was CC's side which was clean. I guess the next would be Orchard Hotel or Traders Hotel.
Alvin, care to share what dishes you had tried during the wedding show and some reviews please.. cox i guess i wun get the chance to try any until end of next year

Hi, there was the suckling pig cold dish, Sautéed Prawns & Scallops with Asparagus, Fried Marble Goby, Braised Shell Mushrooms with Chef’s
Spinach Beancurd, Crisp Roast Chicken and Chilled Aloe Vera Jelly with Lemongrass.
Haha..mostly all right I guess, sounds like a full wedding menu hoh! Prawns were a bit small. Dessert was unique, quite refreshing.
Didn't notice the stains on the carpet as lights were dimmed most of the time, haha..

Hi, all
I went to the wedding show yesterday too. The food was ok.. Already confirm the banquet to them few days ago before the wedding show.
Me too also never notice the stain.
There was live band at the wedding show too. Just wonder if taking the live band is worth it or not. Kind of expensive when asking how they charge...

kks, maybe dat day the cook nt in a good mood, so our food tasting nt good.. i also dunno y i felt it was nt up to our expectation. my youngest BIL said the lotus rice like home cook fried rice.
i juz KS la.. so i printed my invites in mid sept n collected them 1st week oct. but we haven finish writing them...
i chose the invite with a double xi embossed on the top center. printed an icon, our names n wedding date at the front cover bottom. we need hotstamping on the invites itself to save $25 fm nt having strings. total paid abt $242. the oni thing bad is the envelopes given was grey color.. dun feel like for wedding lor.. stephen fm focal-ad said it was to match the invites colour.

hi agnes
don't worry, i think the food will turn out good
Club Chinios is known for their food ma, so
probably u feedback to eric and maybe he can help u tell the chef ?
I chose the squarish rose design, i had 50% red and 50% beige cards.. hehe cos my parents preferred the red and my in-laws and me the beige ones, i didnt do hotstamping.. i printed on paper and tie gold string.. string cost me 8 bucks and the printing was quite cheap.. hehe all in all less than 100bucks... keke..
the ballroom underwent some minor reno and i think it looks brighter now ?
just wondering anyone having their dinner in CC itself on the same day as me or not... cos if have, then guests might be confused and i afraid the reception area might be cramped...

kks, we nv seek our families for the card opinion
we chose wat we like, my mum oni complained abt the grey colour evelopes. $8 for gold string? u buy fm focal-ad and tie urself? i was told the strings are $0.08/card if u tie ur own n $0.10/card if focal-ad ties for u.
how many tables u have for ur banquet, if it's nt alot, will CC let other customer coms in anot.
i'm oni afraid dat our guest will get confused n drop the AB into other couple's AB box.. coz i was told by Eric if there are two weddings on the same day (CC and Antica ballroom), some guests might get confused n go to the wrong reception table. the reception table near to the toilet is for couples who booked the ballroom.
