"Guo Da Li (过大礼)" ??
- Thread starter trihok
- Start date
yah, my mum was pretty upset. i mean both my parents have been looking forward to my customary for so long and was so happy before this incident happened. my hubby still blur blur, dunno what happened until i told him after that. you see, how guys can be so insensitive to this kind of thing.
only my mil and matchmaker came cos my mil "scared" my fil say the wrong things. anyway, they're always not on good terms. think doesn't really make a diff cos it's always women who make decisions for this kind of occasion.

Hi PPgroom
Normally only give to those relative of higher or equal 'rank' as ur parents. Thus per family one lor
By the way, there is a shop in Beauty world, Bukit Timah area which sells the whole GDL things in package. I think it save time n effort n blurness
and charges r reasonable according to my PIL. Hubby's brother bought from there during his wedding
Cheers

Wait! Which custom u from?
Me, although dad is cantonese but mum is teochew, thus buy teochew traditional cake for relatives cos dad says most of the traditional cakes goes to mum's relative plus he also like to eat tt
Each box is 1.5kg (tradtionally, weight is impt) and consists of some very nice peanut canny and tao sa bian (salted and sweet mix). Each box is S$16.00
If u r taking about normal marble cake and so on... i think it varies from S$6 to S$20... Dep on wat style u wan. Those more than S$10 sometimes come w fruit tarts.
Cheers

Good morning ladies!
Hi Panda, nice to see you here
I think we toking about the same shop...Jus tt, my PIL not yet bring me and I dun know the exact location
PP groom, ya... follow ur FW
Hmmm... traditional biscuit are not easy to make and more exclusive. Thus cost wise need to be justified...S$16 is still ok for us cos we are making 15boxes...Those are for the 'higher' rank relatives
I am also getting those marble cake kind for close neighbours which we are not inviting to share the joy
For assorted ones, I dun really know how much lei...
Kite, panda and i toking abt same shop cos there is only 1 shop like tt there
GDL day, if relatives not so many, can deliver the cards and cakes to them. IF not, spill over to nx day lor.
Lala, the shop I went to also do Hokkien. U may like to call and check:
Shop name: Thye Lee
Tel: 62889514
Last sunday I went, it was a bit mad rush for they are rushing for mooncake production. If u can wait, maybe aft mid autumn then go
Cheers

Hi y'all!
Are grooms supposed to give all the abalone, shark fins, dried scallops, bird nests and etc to the brides' parents during "ti qing" or "guo da li"? How much should we spend on these?

I've just bought mine..excluding the two bottles of martell, and ping jin and wedding cakes...Its approximately $150 for both groom and bride side..also include an chuang stuff..oh yeah, didnt include the oranges which supposed to buy on that day. We got it at chinatown market..My mum commented that they hv the whole range. You just need to tell which dialect you are, then they will teach you what to do, and buy.

Hi,

The address is:
Blk 335, Smith Street, #01-229, S050335.
Chinatown Complex.
Name of the shop: K.K. Antique Centre.
Tel: 62251185 / 98483013 / 94362058
There are 2 sisters tending the stall, very friendly n helpful. My mum spent only $98 for my Jia zhuang stuffs.

Hi Kite,
Think we bought from the same shop as yours but my mum have to spend $150. I find that they are quite pricey cos' we found similar stuffs later at lower price. My mum bought two set of gold teapot set from them at $28 each and I found the same set of teapot selling at $22 each at AMK.

Hi,cutepigs
Hard liquor for GDL is up to the groom side to decide. Like for me, we settled on red wine, cause my parents don't drink hard liquor. This can be discussed during the Ti Qin, if not any hard liquor will do.

btw,
I bought my GDL stuff at jurong west and bukit timah...both are good coz they explain clearly to you what the items u buy are for...
but jurong west one is much more expensive but more presentable coz they do everything nice nice for u (eg. tie red ribbon)
bukit timah one is much cheaper, but u gotta do your own tying of red ribbon.
