I'm having a church ceremony too, but will not be catering food at the church as I didn't secure the booking for the foyer space. Will be catering food at home though! I haven't made any bookings for the caterers, but shall look into that maybe next year in Jan/Feb? I think that's very much in advance, no?
Hi fellow July BTB! So far I've only booked the banquet venue, and I'm going for my overseas photoshoot in 10 days' time since they need about 6mths to send over the album and stuff. With that done, I just need to source for AD wedding gown and photographer I think.
Saw that butterflious already booked a JP? When do we start sourcing for one? Think some of them only take bookings 3 mths ahead?
Oh really! 6-8 months!! Hahaha I don't think we've even secured caterers for CNY (which we do yearly for gatherings at my grands)! Ok as Aj.tan suggests, perhaps sometime in Jan we should get these done. It feels like there should be a lot of things to check off the list in the coming few months...That is quite cozy haha yea but I read somewhere we should secure the caterers 6-8 months before so I got a bit worried hahahahahah

I wasn't sure about booking them so early too but I asked around my peers who had church weddings too, they all told me sometimes if your date is popular or you just suay the caterer you want has too many jobs on that day, they will not take your order... So better secure them before other people doTell me about it!! Hahah yes indeed!! We can slowly check off the to-do lists ^^
Hello Aj.tan! Are you printing the cards from taobao, or the inserts? I'm thinking of sending out an e-invite to friends first and only giving the hardcopy invite when they indicate that they will be joining us.I wasn't sure about booking them so early too but I asked around my peers who had church weddings too, they all told me sometimes if your date is popular or you just suay the caterer you want has too many jobs on that day, they will not take your order...

I'm using a checklist to see what I need to do! At this point of time, the recommended checklist says to start designing and wording your invites. I thought it was a little too early but since I'm buying from Taobao I might as well do it now. my church invites turned out nice so decided to print my banquet one from there too

What do you mean by writing the names?Ahhh now I feel like I need to chope my caterer too! Haha shall start sending emails.
For your church wedding invites, will you be writing the names of your invitees? Just asking around because I'm not sure what's the standard for church weddings.
What do you mean by writing the names?
I printed "Dear ________" for me to fill in the names
I took reference from other church members' wedding cards
Hi ladies, have you all discussed decorations details with your venue coordinator yet?
I might want to get my decorations stuff on TaoBao so wondering is it too early to discuss now?
Hello! I'm July BTB too. I'm new here. Anyone can refer AD wedding coordinator. Thanks!
Hi there, what date is your AD? Have you decided on venue and stuffs?

Do you have a location you're looking at? Or are you looking for wedding planners?
Hi phirahh.. Wedding coordinator can assist on wedding day. Thanks
Your hotel or venue should have a wedding coordinator assigned, unless you're looking to hire planners who double up as that too? A friend used wedrocks weddings, perhaps you can check them out.
To answer my own question, I pm Mr William Cheong (seems like a popular choice for JP in this forum) and he accepted my booking! So its not true that we can only source for JP 3 mths in advance (although some JPs dont take booking too early). Glad that its one thing off my mind!
Hi @akane81, glad that u are having fun!
I think it's important that all of us enjoy this process (though it might be stressful for some)
Anyway, do you all do a site visit for the locations which you will take the PWS in Singapore?

Hi, I'm July BTB too and also new too! Could I check which bridal studio you booked for pre wed shoot?
Mine at 2nd July
Hi! I am getting my gowns from BQueens. Decided to do ala carte instead of having an all-in package with one bridal studio so that we can pick and choose what we like for gowns, photography/video and make-up.
Bqueens have associated photographers and MUA too. So far their service has been v good and they got nice selection of gowns as well. Reasonable price too. Great experience so far!
Oh anyone getting married on 29th July like me? According to Master Tong in the other thread, it is a leap month (repeat of the lunar 6th mth) starting from 23rd July 2017 so traditionally people do not get married during the leap month.
Hmm.. nevertheless I guess I'll still go ahead as my fiance is a non-Chinese and my parents plus myself not the pantang kind.
I have just contacted my pre-wedding workshop to help source for a solemniser as they said they will be able to provide when we signed up for the workshop. Their response a little bit slow... So I am abit gan cheong now myself and wondered if I should email some references myself in case they are not able to get for me....Hi everyone, hope you fellow July BTBs have booked your solemnisers!
