Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre

Hi spiderbaby, someone did mentioned here before that HIPV has quite a wide selection of songs but think u better double-confirm with ur co-ordinator again.
For free flow beer, it depends on whether it was offered in your package when u signed up.
I think its better for u to provide red wine coz i feel nowadays alot of ppl are drinking red wine rather than hard liquor n beer & red wine is becoming v common in weddings, so better to provide coz it might be quite embarrassing if some of ur guests request for redwine & there is none....Just my 2cents..
 


Hushy, I will most prob be adding some simple decor on the reception table & maybe cocktail tables at the reception area.. For the staircase, dont think i will doing anything there liao.. How bout u?
 
hi jesdreamz, wanted to decorate the stairs but hv no clue of how to go abt it.. haha.. prob will put some tea light candles. yup, will also decorate the recep table, think it's the minimum work to do.

was just wondering if i should just ask for a barrel of beer and more wine corkage waiver.. any comments?

hi spiderbaby, it's true that many pple are going for red wine these days, unless you're quite sure most of your frens dun take wine, it's still better to standby at least 10 bottles of red wine..
 
hi jesdreamz & hushy,

thanxs for the input ..yea, was thinking will order some red wines too lor ..juz in case ...my package has free flow of beer hence beer is taken care of ...but i was wondering if u gals can advise me if it's better to get the wines fr outside suppliers or fr the hotel itself huh?? ...& what ab white wines?? no need huh??

recep table must decorate huh?? the hotel not doing it??...err, sorry for the so many questions hor ..i very sotong one lah ...kekeke

when's both your AD btw?? =)

are u gals on multiply or friendster by any chance??
 
spiderbaby, me me..my nick at multiply is bubblepearl...my AD on 15 Dec 07..

As for the red wines, i order from winebos as inside my contract, if order from them, i can enjoy waiver of corkage...i order before GST. i got 30tables, so i order 2 cartons cfm and 2 cartons consignment(which u can return back if u nvr consume them). The cost is abt 18 per bottle? I saw the list of wine provided by hipv include gst and service charge..so a bottle abt 20++? I think hamham also got hers from winebos..

Jezdreamz, ur ad in nov? when u collecting ur cards?
 
hi spidebaby,

buy from winebos can on consignment basis but if buy from hipv, there is no such basis. so I bought from winebos, can taste the wine before ordering too. I on multiply, wat is ur ID so i can add u.
 
My AD's on 18 Nov 07.. :-)

Spiderbaby, i'm on both multiply & friendster.. U can add me at multiply though.. My nick is jesgal.
Reception table they will setup the basic for u.. So if u wan more decor, u can DIY abit urself.. As for white wine, dun tink its necessary bah.. I think not alot of ppl will ask for white wine during wedding banquet, so u can safely skip the white wine..hehe..

Bubblepearl, Shld be collecting my invites the week after chinese 7th mth is over.. U collected urs liao?? My contract dun have this perk that order from Winebos will have free corkage waiver.. So most may order from other alternative supplier.. Ur AD is nearing too rite?? Hw's the rest of ur wedding preps?
 
Jes, not yet collected...i am sourcing for cheaper printers..keke. But if u order from suppliers, u need to pay corkage = $10 per bottle rite? why dun u get from hipv instead?

I am getting just 2 bottles of white wines..maybe during my solomanisation..before dinner..which is like for only 30 pax?
 
hi bubblepearl,
added you over at multiply liao ;o) ...
thanxs for the red wine tip ...will check with my co-ordinator ...who's yr co-ordinator btw huh? mine's Vasanthi.

Bubblepearl, me also sourcing for cheap printing.. Most prob will collect fr T-dragon the cards 1st then go JB to print the inserts.. I did bargain for some corkage waiver when i signed up.. But its not many bottles, so think i will still kena charge corkage for the remaining bottles that do not have the waiver..

spiderbaby : No lar, i dun mind.. I myself also everytime anyhow browse n kaypo at other ppl website..esp those with nice wedding pics..hehe..
 
I got my card printing from T-dragon.. the insert is 200pcs S$100. make it done in s'pore save the several travel to JB eg. sourcing, choose printing, collection...
 
Hi gals

Busy recently... collected my cards.. and busy tying the strings now ... I get the printing from T-dragon to save trouble but heard others might be cheaper .. and JB is cheap by half.

I have not choose my wedding favor yet.. and not even food tasting. will get it done after the 7th month ... And also have not get things for GDL yet too ...

Think will get the wine fm carrefor cos their wine can be return within 14days..

we havent done our PS as yet coz of hubby's culture...he's not supposed to see the wedding gown before the AD...that's why PS will come later ... :-/

& of course can chat lah =) ..my msn id's [email protected] ..i wait for u to come chat ya ;-D


hi dearris,
yr hubby v smart lor....lol ;-D
 
Dear all,

I still have about 40+ red invitation cards. For those who are running short of wedding invites, email me and I can mail them to u.Postage charge applies.
 
Dearris,
my FH also left most of the stuff to me. I have to handle the stuff + deal with my parents + deal with his parents.

My wedding is in Jan 08 but I am already feeling the stress now... Sigh.

Hey any of you want to get together on MSN so that we can chat & give each other tips? My msn is [email protected]
 
Fifi, have added u on MSN.. :-)

Hushy, thanks gal! I just went down to T-dragons to select card design... Sigh, the card i chosen OOS liao, so gotta settled for another design..
 
Fifi,

I also add u into msn. jesdreamz wat is ur Msn ID so i can add u as well. i collect ard 2 mths before AD for the cards.
 
jezdream, can chk w u..when u collect from t-dragons how many cards u collected? based on the contract tables or wat? Do they need to get approval from HIPV before they issue the card to u...on the spot or what?
 
hi.. the nos of card is base on the min. nos of table that you are that taking. I think you need to get HIPV to inform them that you are collecting from them.
 
hi gals.. u can add me in MSN @ [email protected]

Bubblepearl : No need to get approval from HIPV.. U just go down to Tdragons, tell them ur venue is HIPV & u want to select wedding cards..They will pass u a file full of wedding cards sample to select. Once u select ur desired card design then tell them ur estimated no. of tables & the %tage that HIPV is giving. Then they will call u again in a few days time for collection of all the cards..
My card is the "Jia-Qu" ones... The initial design i wanted is out-of-stock, so i selected the Jia-Qu series in the end... :-)
 
hi jesdreamz, i added u in my msn liao.
btw whr u intend to print ur invite? i wanted to do digital print, with coloured designs but recently so tied up with work.

hi gals, need ur comments here. do you keep the invites u rec'v or see & throw? would u think coloured ones are more unique than hotstamping or vice versa? i dunno if i should spend more time wking on the cards or just do the normal hotstamping... arghh... fan ah...
 
Hi ladies,

I am considering to print my cards in JB cos I need to print church invites.

Would anyone want to make a trip together? More people i think safer.

hehe.. after answering hushy question, i forgot to ask what i wana ask!!!
LOL..
Anyway, have u gals ordered your GDL cakes? Any recommendations for nice confectionery or bakery that i can order from? I want cakes, not the chinese pastry type..
 
Hi gals,i'm signing the contract tis coming sat with Vasanthi,anythings that i should look out for or wat other perks can i request? Btw i saw alot of great comments abt Vasanthi,i must admit that she is a very nice & accomodating lady.Great to have her as my coordinator.
 
bubblepearl : Havent collect my cards yet but it should be provided coz T-dragon did asked me what color envelopes i want & indicate in the order form..

Dearris : Thanks for the info.. Think i most likely will order from Pine Garden coz i went & bought their cakes to try on tuesday nite & its tasted v nice.. hehe.. Great that u got the discount from Prima!!

Queenie : Yes, Vasanthi is really a great lady.. Very friendly & accomodating as well..
 
Hi Jez.. Ya i heard their cake is nice. How much is their cake ? what you order ? whole cake or slice one ?

I would like to give those slice butter cream cake cos it is quite boring to give those butter or walnut cake. But it is cheaper and more pratical
 

I will likely get my cakes from Bengawan Solo cos I want to get some cakes & some vouchers. They got a lot of shops so redemption of vouchers easy for my relatives.
