Hi Carol

Your package is really good, comes with so many pictures. How much did you spent ?

Hi Stars
So excited for you, photo shoot in June, mine will be in August, not so busy period, lah.
Remember to be like Carol, have lots of rest , so can be 'mei mei', lor.

Hi Bubble
When's your wedding ? Have you got a venue yet ?
You can always check with Eugenia at 6730 0121 for the dates.
I saw in the Female magazine that they are having a bridal show on 5 May 2002. You can check whether they are having any promotion just like last year. It's a good deal, lor.

Hi Blue Ocean
Oh, your wedding in Jan 03, long way more to go. Can take your time to plan. Have you got the bridal shop already ?

regards
SP : the busy one :X
 
Hi SP,

Thanks for asking abt me, pple here so nice
happy.gif

I hvnt decided on a bridal shop yet. Hope to get one within my budget, so still looking around. Which bridal shop did u engage?

Carol and Star,
Nice to meet u here again
happy.gif


Bubble,
How's ur hotel hunting? All the best and keep me posted.
 
Hi SP,
We spent over $2500., we upgraded our frame &amp; intend to get another frame for a series of black &amp; white photos.

So how's everything for you huh?

Hi Blue Ocean,
Great to chat with you too.

Carol
 
Hi All,

Just wondering did anyone managed to get an additonal night stay in holiday inn for sunday's banquet?

What are the good deals to expect at the bridal show?

Thanks!
 
Hi Bijou

Myself did not manage to get. Did try to ask but cos it is at a promotional price so I guess can't.
When is your wedding? Have you signed up with Holiday inn?
Hi Carol
Did you top up $2500 to get the extra photo? What is the original price of your package? Curious to know as I see some of my friends paid 3k for the package and end up spending in total 5K.

Hi Blue Ocean
How's your preparation?

Hi SP
So what do you do to prepare for photoshoot?

Ask u all something. What happen if pimples pop out on actual day or photoshoot, me so scare..
Any precaution take?
star
 
Hi Star,

Thanks for asking
happy.gif
I hv planned a series of bridal shops hunting this weekend.

Will be going down to SanMike, Moments in Life and Lezen on Sat. On Sun, i'll be going down to J&amp;M, Silver Cloak and Wedding News.

Any comments on these shops? Still trying to find one that suits my budget.

I guess the extra cost in the bridal package usually comes fr the extra photos they choose. A 15R photo is not cheap, it cost around $55-$70 (depending on how much u can bargain with the shop, one of my colleague managed to bargain for $55 a pc). So if u choose extra 100 pcs, it'll be abt $700 more!!

When it comes my turn, i hope i can stay clear headed, not to overshoot too many photos :P

Maybe u can check with ur make-up artist how to deal with the pimple. Or u can pose the question to the expert in the forum. I believe they can offer good advice.
 
Hi Bijou,

My package is a normal package, so dont know what is in the promotion.

As for the extra nite of stay, maybe u can check with ur co-ordinator. Is there anything u dont want in the package? Maybe u can try swapping it for an extra nite of stay.

Have u signed up with HIPV ?
All the best
happy.gif
 
Hi Bijou,
I didn't get the additional night stay.
You can check with Eugenia regarding this.

Star,
my orginal package cost: $2900, &amp; I top up $2500 for all the other additional stuffs.

As for the pimple, I think the make up artist would know what to do.
Try drinking lots of water &amp; avoid heaty food pior to your photoshooting.

Cheers:
carol

Hi Blue Ocean,

I signed up Wedding News. If u are recommended by someone, they are likely to give u promotional price.
 
Hi All,

Thanks for your reply.Me checking out the ballroom setup this sun. My wedding is probably Oct/Nov 03.

Still hunting around for banquet...deciding btw sheraton and HIPV.
 
Dear Carol

That's quite a bit you spent on the photos. My package is quite Ok, but most important, one must feel comfy with the people there.

Hello Stars
I've been going for regular facial &amp; massage and manicure, pedicure to stay mei mei actually. It's good, you'll feel refreshed after each session and have to pamper and stay happy (that's what Eugenia says, &amp; I agree ). As I am on a tight work schedule, it's always good to have a good massage to relax. I do feel much better and less hot tempered nowadays, even my the other half noticed the difference in me. Thanks to Eugenia for her sound advice.
Pimples and dark cirles can be easily covered up with make up and even if it shows slightly on the wedding pictures, the bridal shop will do fantastic touch up jobs to give you smooth skin and radiant white teeth, lor. Don't worry too much, but inner beauty is always better than make up. If you feel good, you'll glow and it shows. So now I'm on a program to keep myself good and mei mei.... hehehehehe.

Ho ho ho Bijou
Welcome to join us ! It's good to take a good look at the Ballroom when there's a wedding setup. The feel is different. As for the promo package, additional nite stay only comes for the Saturdays' bookings for a confirmation of 35 tables and above. You can try but I find the package is good enough alreadi, lor. Maybe this year's offer is different, give Eugenia a call to check if the promo package is out yet and what are the perks. Her no. is 6730 0121, email : [email protected]. Happy hunting for your venue and hope to hear from you soon, better still, be a HIPV bride !

Dear All
I have a question on red packets,lor. How much should I give to the various people who have helped out in the wedding. I have listed down the no. of persons already but how much to give is giving me a headache. One more thing, is it Ok to give our wedding consultant a red packet ? Mine has really helped me alot and I wish to thank her even though it is her job to co-ordinate weddings, but she has been more than just a wedding consultant, a very good one and understanding friend too. Well, just need some advice. Please help, hor.

regards
SP
 
Hi Enid,
Thanks for ur info. I will chk out Wedding News, and see whether I like their gowns and photos. R u a bride at Wedding News? Care to share with me abt their services, gowns and photography?

Hi Bijou,
I met up with Eugenia today. The promo package is not out yet, it’s coming out soon. I think the promo package is a 8-course dinner. The normal package is 9-course. Like SP said, just give her a call or drop her an email, so that she can keep u posted when the promo package is out. Eugenia is friendly and helpful, so dont worry abt calling her.

There is a bridal show at Sheraton Towers on 30 Mar. Maybe there is a promotion there also.
Maybe u can check it out also.

Hi SP,
There is a thread in the forum talking abt ang pows :
How much ang pows to give for helpers

There are some suggestions on how much to give for who in the above thread.
5 yrs back when I help out in my friend’s wedding (sat at the reception counter to assign table nos. for the guests) I got an ang pow of $18. But I don’t know abt the market rate now.
 
Hi SP

Thank you for your precious tip.
Two years ago, when I was an Ah Yee, I received the open door $ and ang pow from bride's mother $12. Then there was once my hub and I helped out our friends at their dinner, we did not take their ang pow,so they give us a treat. I guess if they are your close friends, they will not mind the amount.
I once attend a weddiing seminar, the speaker says about $20 is the norm. Not sure is still applicable. It was last Oct that I attended this seminar.
Hope is useful

Hi Carol
How's your sat meeting with Eugenia? Did you see her photo?

Hi Blue Ocean
My friend had her photos taken by Wedding News last year. Her photos are really nice. She likes them. She spent about 5k in total cos she top up her photos.

Hi Bijou

Happy searching

stars
 
Hi everyone,
Woh, so many messages over the weekends.

SP, yap, we did spent a sum on the photos, &amp; hoping that they are all worthwhile. Hey, we are very happy with my bridal studio, especially the photographer &amp; his asst. We are like friends....
happy.gif


So happy to hear from them that my ablums will be ready in mid June... hahaha. really very excited about it.

SP, if you really think that you want to thank your wedding consultant, you can opt for a Thank you gift instead of a red packet, it's more personlised &amp; more meaning, since you'll choose the gift for her personally.
That's just my personal view.
hahaha... talking about red packets, I've not think about that issue yet. hahaha.. you are really fast leh.
I think that's a thread in the forum about his topic.

Hi stars,
I've met up with Eugenia on sat to collect my invitation cards, &amp; in the same time look at her wedding photos, &amp; actual day photos. I can say that Eugenia really look very radiant on her big day, she smile a lot.... very happy
happy.gif

Stars, you really must go down to look at her album.

Cheers:
Carol
 
Dear Happy brides

Thanks for the tips and suggestions. Have not really go through the rest of the forum topics actually, not much time and only interested in this thresd here, lor.....
Well, I totally agree with Carol that I should get my wedding consultant a gift but on the other hand CASH is always the best gift. I also don't know what to get for her, maybe teddy bear ? I'll discuss with my partner and see how later.
Well, it's always go to start early on the planning on money matters so we can start saving, otherwise, we got to squeeze here &amp; there when the time comes. Headache!!!!!

SP
 
Hi SP:
You are always welcome....
Maybe you can get something she like?
Anyway, Please take care while busy preparing for the wedding.
Yap, I agree with you that we should start saving early, like me we have spent quiet a lot on our photos, &amp; if we don't save we'll have big headache in the future.

Carol
 
Firstly, let me congrates all couples of HIPV. I am also looking at this hotel for my coming wedding. It seems like pple here are frequently chatting only among a few of you'll. So does anyone here ever hear bad wedding experiences at HIPV? Since not many pple knows abt this forum so i thought we may not hear enough to judge on things. By the way, will pple from HIPV get to see what we have written and commented here? If so, will they try to please us more after reading it? Sorry, basically doesnt want to look stupid and ignorance to them :p
