Aiai> for us we all ordered from outside as we all are observing clock work timing
Hi gals, i just realised for Dec's BTB AD is almost one day after another one. Getting excited over it... few mths back, i still tot nothing much to prepare.... now every weekend seemed too short for me...
littlewoman: 5 Dec
saggiegirl: 6 Dec
Me: 27 Dec
Ling: 28 Dec
saggiegirl> did u source the info fr many frens? Or u were the coordinator for yr frens before? can consider to take wedding planner as sideline. I am serious abt it. Really well planned. Yr hubby is very fortunate to have u to plan things ahead.
Aiai> I will have buffet at home. Home cooked food could be good but it's a hassle. Initial plan is to get the uncle and auntie to attend the ceremony at one of the function room. But i realised it will be too troublesome for them to travel to Orchard then come to my place at Pasir Ris for buffet lunch.

hello girls,
just like to check, for those who have already prepared 7788, the format for your montage is in wad format? .wmv or .mpg?? u save to DVD n pass it to the AV guys? or play it on ur own laptop? think i'll be makin 2 copies of it jus in case..
Also, for the march-in songs, i know we'll have to burn it into CD or DVD...? but for the entire night, if we choose to play our own songs, what format is ur songs in? not .mp3 right? but in 1 CD, only can have maybe maximum 20 songs, then you will have to prepare 5-6 CDs of songs for them to play continuously?
think i've asked rachel bef, but i forgot... now time to get serious and prep my stuffs after seeing all ur preps.. haha

thanks saggie, cher and littlewoman..
so u prepare about 5-6 audio CDs of music to play throughout the dinner (if u r intending to la?)
saggie,
for the montage, i dun think urs is in JPG format leh, cus JPG is picture format, not video format.. im doin our montage using photostory 3, think the only format allowed is .wmv...
littlewoman,
as far as i can remem, i think .mp3 format not allowed too leh..

AmrasEnelya> our slides are in JPG format created using GIMP
then we convert into DVD Slideshow and add in music (using our own PhotoStudio Expression software) to synchronize to the length

Looks like the brides here are very hardworking to do the photo montage. I am very pai seh as I am going to get my VG to do for me though i did think of doing it myself. But after seeing their work, mine is just like Primary sch standard... so i better let the professional do the job. I do things that i can handle like writing cards and deco my cards...
Does anyone know the sequent to play the pre weddding photo, photo montage and express highlights? My plan is to play the pre wedding photo as slideshow... now think of adding music. Then first march in, we will play the photo montage with childhood photos, then follow by express highlight in the second march in. Some told me express highlight is to show before 2nd march in.... but another said it's to play after 2nd march in when we are seated then can join guest for their laughter.

hey joyjoy..
i think its really up to individual for the sequence.. theres no right or wrong..
as long as u like it!
ive seen sequences like
1) play childhood, together photos and pre wedding shots the entire night
2) pre-wedding shots bef dinner commences, childhood n together shots bef 1st march-in, express highlights bef 2nd march-in..
3) same as no. 2 but express highlights after 2nd march-in..
yes, i agree with u that if we can join the guests in to view the express highlights after the 2nd march in, it'd be very fun... and one of my friends' VG even captured their expressions when they were viewing the express highlights..
so its really up to u!

followed by cake cutting, first dish etc... we will go up to change once we eat finish the 2nd dish as instructed by our emcee...
3. bef 2nd march in: play express highlights
after that is champagne, yam seng, table phototaking
we want to end our dinner on time...sui sui as our dinner is on Sunday

saggiegirl> I think outside the ballroom, the plasma tv cannot play so many slides... I remember Rachel said ask me to go look for 12pcs of photo in JPEG format... So i guess it's a separate disc from the ballroom. I also hope to end the dinner by 1045pm. My dinner is also on Sunday. Some co choose to shut down during the xmas period while many still got to work the next day....
AmrasEnelya> Reno can drive u crazy... i go thru mine in 2007.... so now i can relax a bit.... But as date draws nearer, i get worried not sure if i miss out anything. If I were to go thru everything, wedding and reno together, i'm sure i will be stressed up.
