Starfruit, urs on MONEY day??
hehehe...
Anyway, I dun think I will be preparing much... maybe just ask Pauline how many DFS they can let me bring and I just bring those few for standby... dun think many of my guests will really drink... Only a handful... dun want to encourage them to become roudy after that...
Furthermore, the beer is free flow... so I dun think will need that much liquor...

JenJen, really can bring a few? i ever checked wif Pauline and she sounds beri firm dat no duty free liquor is allowed...if really can then i need to stock up if got frends go overseas...
tink the number of bottles to bring depend on wat kind of people u inviting...somemore nowadays more people like to drink wine...dun wan to bring too mani hard liquor when people start asking for wine! also, usually people who drink beer dun drink liquor and vice versa...but u got free flow beer so shiok! me onli got 1st barrel free

Hi Starfruit,
Like what Jowie has mentioned, it will really depend on your guests' profile. Mine was heavy cos of FIL's temple frens...I finished abt 13 botts and all my beer and opened a 20L barrel with was finished halfway....and they didn't charged me for it!
A word, if you asked for permission to do 'illegal' things you will never get it. So bring secretly lah.

If no one see, chances of them asking for wine is low. You get one or two but just let the service staff know that you dun intend to serve lor.
I did not allow beer to be served during reception time. Even if the guests are in the ballroom then. Beer is to be served only after dinner commences. Safer. For you Starfruit, no scare no scare!

jenjen: u sure they dun server beer during the reception? hmm... i better go check my contract too. u planned to serve liquor during ur reception? i would discourage cos u dun wan ur guest to be drunk even before ur dinner start.
I think i will not have liquor at the cocktail cos I dun want the crowd to get rowdy and start heaving stupidly.

hi Linda n MM brides
got something to ask u..
the inserts provided by MM are not normal paper..its like tracing paper type.
went to the printer over the weekend n they said tat for tat kinda insert, better to use hotstamping coz normal print the ink may smurge.
work out the price..hotstamping is double the amt of normal printing.
the printer will provide me with the normal paper insert if i m doing normal printing..
so juz to find out wat other MM brides did 4 their cards ie hotstamping or normal paper inserts.
Thks.

Hi Yvonne,
I used the tracing paper type of inserts from MM, plus I purchased somemore of the same translucent inserts from my printer to print a few extras in case of mistakes during writing. In all cases, I used normal printing only. No problem leh......
Hi JenJen,
I chose a reddish brown for standard printing. It matches both the red and ivory cards perfectly
Actually, you can bring your card down and try to match the samples the printers' have with your card to see if the wordings stand out or not.

hi starfruit
i went to Hi-Tech. However, i dun think Hi-Tech is in MM's list.
hiya...so much hassle juz over cards..
think might as well juz take Hi-Tech n print on normal paper can liao.
coz i think i m quite late with the cards thingy and hubby is too busy to take leave during weekdays..somemore this Sat gota work..*sigh* if not can go Acepro n check things out.
but come to think abt it, my dad said tat he will send out invites only after the 7th mth..tat means early Sep..still got some time lah hor?

starfruit, i've called Acepro, the diff. is only $20/-.
hi-tech quoted $100/- for 350 inserts n Acepro's is $80/-.

we decided to juz use normal paper inserts provided by Hi-tech.
find it very troublesome to go to Acepro...hi-tech is nearer to my place.
oh ya..tat means i will have 350 tracing paper inserts tat i dun need.
if anyone of u want, i can pass some/all to u..but must be after my wedding in Sept, dun think i have time to meet up for now.

HI Starfruit & JenJen
AcePro quoted me $70 for min 300pcs and I've 200pcs of inserts only. I purchased another 50pcs inserts from them at $0.20/pc, which I paid $80 in the end. They took 2 weeks to print upon confirmation of artwork.
Jasvy also quoted me $70 for 200 pcs and $0.20 for each inserts too.
Starfruit: I think they quoted u $0.10 cos u've more inserts?

Starfruit: I think they quoted u $0.10 cos u've more inserts?
oho: u mean the price will differ if u have more?? i was wondering when she quoted me the price, cos 0.10 per extra piece of insert together with printer is a good price. It is the same price as compared to her charges of $10 for printing extra 100 inserts.(i.e. i get the inserts free and she is omly charging me the printing cost. i tot if she might have made a mistake.
jenjen : if this is the case, then u dun need to get the inserts from yvonne. can purhcase straight from acepro, cos its still the same price.
hope i am not confusing anyone here.

kylie: wha.. good that u got beng khoon. Mine is also beng khoon. He is very easy guy to talk to and can negotiate a lot of stuff with him as well. However, maybe becos he is a guy, i find that certaind details like flowers etc, he could nto give me too much advice.
Dun worry, u r in safe hands
MM's package is quite comprehensive, i didn't ask for too much other stuff.. just exchange the cake for another room i think. cannot remember already. Is urs a 2003 package?
Yvonne : ya i liek the silver theme too but opted for the gold in teh end cos the silver theme too white and westernised scared my Mum adn MIL unhappy.

Hi Starfruit
I've bought the Her World Brides Sep issue and flip thru the mag looking out for flowers. Realise most hotels have a combination of white and yellow/Champagne flowers (could be lily, orchid, rose etc). Think MM suggestion on champagne rose with white lily quite ok. just my opinion.

Kylie: u gotta really try hard to bargain for an extra night in the bridal suit. MM don't usually allow u to exchange the deluxe room for the bridal suit cos the delux room is smaller. However, if u can hit more tables, i am sure u MM will give u another extra night at the bridal suit free on top of ur night in the delux room.
dap: Thanks for ur feedback. so excatly what colour is champagne roses? a light tinge of pink?
Ohno: i can't find the champagne roses in the new her world brides.
