Huiling, Krystal told me that we can do our invitation cards earlier.. the norm is prob 3 months in advance but if you are planning to avoid the 7th month and distributing it before that period, can make appointment with T dragon to select your cards and decides on printing...

Jac, but I thought the design is given from HIPV? Thought we chose the design in the hotel then go down T-dragon to print? Cos i remember my cordinator Vasanthi told me that she will approve the total number of cards we required for printing..

hi EL,
this is a tough one.. I dun know how to express in nicer words.. but definately can consult T-dragon since they always print wedding cards for couples...
All> So we just make apt to T-dragon and choose our wedding cards isit? if the cards are different from the card design which hotel is giving, then we need to top up right?

Hey EL,

"This is the happiest day of my life! Pls be punctual." ?

i already.. usually even if put timing or saying dinner at commence at (certain timing) sharp, no use de.. ppl will still come abt 8 or 830... somehow after so many years it is the trend.. i also wish to start early but the guests... they will have reasons and excuses.
and no way to start when the ballroom is only let's say 50% occupied right??
kit hat, can.. i request my coordinator to show me the room, but of coz its upon availability. so they cant confirm also but u might wanna give them a date so they can try to arrange. i feel that the bedroom is pretty small and no way to do ur make up and hair in the room. Need to do in living room.

Hi Janice
Yes u right, even though the card is written, some ppl will still taking their own sweet time!
Hi Jacqueline Chia
Thanks foryou advise, coz my sista staying pretty far.. is impossible to ask them go home n come to hotel again.........
how many months in advance did you request ur coordinator to let you view the room?? coz my AD is on Nov. is it too early to ask my coordinator now?

Kit Kat, my AD is Nov 2010... i saw the room on Monday... what ya think? haha!!
basically it's a 1 room suite. so they would decor the room to make it like a bridal suite. if u wanna see the room with decor, dun think quite easy but maybe u can request ur coordinator to send u pics of room decor.

i think maybe huiling's suggestion might work. sounds not offending too...
"This is the happiest day of my life! Pls be punctual."

i think it would be gd to put early... so that at least u have some time to play around with... if they are on time, gd coz dinner can starts early. is they come late, at least u are prepared.

hi Janice,
seldom see you online during daytime on msn..
HIPV will based on 25 tables, 80% which is 200.. im also counting the tables now.. haven confirm with T-dragon also cos they need 4 days time to send me the artwork of the printing on invitation cards...
this is a big headache.. Last time i thought i cannot hit 25 tables and was quite worried.. target is 27 tables.. but seem like now it exceed over 30. Don't want too much tables...
Quite alot but then, some designs are old fashioned which i dun like loh.. red too boring.. in the end i choose a pink color card instead.. sweet sweet.. when u going down to choose?
By the way, how is your PS shoot? I wanna see your pictures le.. if you are on msn during daytime, ping me ok...
Alicia,
yeah.. there is a reno on the ballroom, for suite, not so sure.. We haven go for food tasting as there is no chinese restaurant in HIPV so no comments on this. But based on past thread, its not bad with big portion.. Not much to worry.. By the way, let me know after your meet up with the co-ordinator if they are renovating the suite. Who u meet up with @ HIPV?

Had went to HIPW yesterday & met up with Adeline. It was hard to bargain more perks with her & did not succeed to change the day room to a additional night stay...Adeline is nice. Felt comfortable in siging up with her. !!
Was surprise that most of the Sats in 2010 are taken up..thought I was KS...but guess I am not..hehe..
Anyway we notice quite a no. of Indians in that resturant. Not that we are racist but were just wondering why... Anyone can enlighten us?

hi Elbarc,
i think firstly, they also held indian wedding and maybe they employed more indians to work there ba.hahaha... Me also felt that there are alot of indians working but then, with the price and services, its definately worth signing up with them.. especially the price per table did not increase even after the renovation.

hi cecilia, actually the package details for HIPV can be found on the singaporebrides.com website itself...http://www.singaporebrides.com/hotels/hipv/
and I think the 688nett price is for weekday dinners =)
I personally booked my banquet in dec 07 because I wanted a Dec wedding and I knew tt Dec's a hot month for weddings...typically banquet venues are booked at least 1.5 years in advance...(on average)
maybe if you're that keen on HIPV, you can ask how filled up are their weekends =)

Elbarc, your co-ordinator is Adeline too? She's really nice but firm on the perks. Doesn't make you feel shortchanged..yeah...I booked my banquet in april for next feb and that sunday nite was taken already! went for lunch banquet with an upgrade instead.
Hui Ling, yeah, weekend dinner is $888 but it'll change soon. Weekday dinner is $788...at least for this year...supposed price suppose to increase for next yr (or after refurbishment)

HuiLing,
Perks now is as per online, 1000 off for Crystall Ballroom or 1 table off for Orchid Ballroom. 1 wine per table.Actually didnt manage to get any. Gota rejected for changing the day room to extra night stay..haha...any luck when u sign up?
Cecilia,
If u are interested guess u better decide on yr AD first.. Checked with them for Sats in 2nd half of 2010..Those tat match our dates all taken up.. So we got to settle with having it on Sun... If possible, sign before the road show. Perks now will be the same as road show as per their advise. And during roadshow the dates would be gone fast... N after their offical launch of their new Crystal Ballroom they will increase the price.. Hope this helps
Sobe,
Agree...Adeline is very nice & prompt. but very firm on perks. We send her a whole list..she rejected all giving us all her reasoning.. We were convinced so didnt get anythg more out of it.haha

HI Elbarc,
mmm.. i dun have the 1000 off for crystal ballroom.. mine is either:
1)Complimentry food tasting and free day room (3 to 8pm) for helpers OR
2)Free 1 table...
As for redwine, last time when i sign up, dun have.. but i keep push for it and they give me loh.. haha..so i think your perks are not bad..
I suggest u to sign up now if you are interested... cos 1000 off for crystal ballroom is really good, not to forget you are actually booking it at current price rate. It might increase after reno thus the 1K rebate might not worth as much loh...
By the way, my cordinator is vasanthi.. hehehe..
