totally understand lor, Meiling..hahah...so coincidental tat we rec invites on the same day which adds salt to our injury..hahah =P
but from another angle, if the theme of ur dinner is v oriental, then prob the card will fit in nicely. unfortunately, mine is nowhere near oriental...
prob they will change the design closer to your wedding? not sure how long they change the design of their cards coz the previous batches are better. prob by time ur turn, will be so veli nice le? =)
but anyway, i hope tis is just a minor dissatisfaction. my food tasting's in a couple wks time. will keep u updated. =)
My fren's experience wif a certain hotel in cityhall tat has recently changed mgt is horrible. think both she n her hubby quibbling wif the hotel now for compensation coz there were alot of screw ups n her wedding is in a mth's time. poor gal.

Hi Ladies, let's not fret so much k. Having too much choices for the wedding favours is just a plus point. What's the most impt is having just 1 good and unique wedding favour. Sometimes having more choices not necessary be gd. Just 1 gd wedding favour is enuff. I looking forward to the glass coaster. Think it has not been finalised yet right ?
Since we have signed with MM, we try not to think of the neg side of things ya, it doesn't help but make us worry or upset. This is the least a bride wanna feel. So long as we are happy generally with their svc, food, themes etc.
I also wish for more new themes and wedding favours next yr. Think the card is v diff to change loh. If they really change, then good.
Add on unhappiness build up Negative forces and this will end up making the MM thread so miserable ! Let's have some Positive forces instead ! heehee...
* cheers *

Meiling, I think the durian is not in our choice for 2008. So, even if we want, also dun have.

Meiling,
Ya,I have checked with them. They do not provide this dessert starting from next yr cos the response not so good as Durian is v subjective. Some may like, some may not.

Hi Meiling,
I din call to check. Happen to talk to my co-ordinator abt foo. I also prefer yam paste.
oh ok. I have few VG recommended by frens too. Hv not done comparison on price and quality yet. Will do it next yr ba.
I have not done much yet. Just did a tentative guest list head count, book banquet and church. Will book my BS these 2 weeks. Most prob taking Wedding Present. Find the quality and designs v nice.
Meeting some tie-up PG to see their artwork and discuss the package b4 signing up with Wedding Present. Thats abt all. Have collected some contact no. of VG, florist for church etc but have not shortlisted or call them up to discuss the package. I have to settle my WG & EG design by end Nov. Will leave the rest one by one. You seems to do much more than me. Everything booked. heehee... I like to do comparison slowly and do 1 thing at a time.

Hi everyone!
My AD will be held at MM too .. 11 Nov 08.. Think I'm missing out quite alot already..
I was told the pineapple tarts are yummy but haven't got the chance to try it.. My hubby, I've ROMed, prefers the bears as favours cos he feels that it would seem more like chinese new year to have the pineapple tarts as favours.. Anyway, I shall have a taste of the tarts first before making a decision..
Anyone using the vanda ballroom? It's pretty small but I like the cosy feeling. But, I'm afraid it might be a little cramped if I increase the number of tables.. Any one has any idea of the max number of tables to have so that it won't look too cramped?

Hi Ladies, there may be new favours. So, no worries for our AD next yr 08.
Hi HappyMrsKoh, how many tables u have ? If you exceed 33 or so, you gotta use the ballroom downstairs. Think the max tables for Vanda is 30. I think it shd fit well with 23 - 25 tables. Too many will look bit cramp, thats my personal opinion. I using the downstairs ballroom cos I need more than 30tables.

hi happymrskoh,
i agree wif wendy dat vanda ballroom is better for tables between 20-25, d max is 30 (28+2) but it'll seem a bit cramped as there's v little space for movement if it's packed to d rim
i was having d same prob deciding between d 2 ballrooms, but finally i was able to confirm 35 tables so i took d grand ballroom
hi yoyo,
ok sure, i cant write well so dun think i'll set up a blog...u can add me on multiply, friendster or facebook at [email protected]
do keep me updated of ur food tasting...
hi jolene low,

hi wendy,

Hi Berrybear,
MM will not allow Grand ballroom for 30tables. Weekday is already not possible, not to say weekend. Why dun you try to increase another 3tables and see whether your co-ordinator can compromise.
Who is ur co-ordinator ?

Thanks Wendy,
oh...so it's different from the recent wedding show whereby all of us are individually served...huh, then will it b very messy if we take the fish ourselves, and the lotus rice, and my mango sago pudding...haha.
anyway, then i'm beginning to wonder if the set of crockeries will be the same as the wedding show

Hi all,
Heehee i'm actually the groom-to-be instead of bride-to-be. Had booked Vanda Ballroom as me & my wife feel that it's quite cosy.
Actually, when we booked MM,we had not actually walk into VB to take a look but juz having some peeping through the doors after few visit together with my wife.
On the recent wedding show,we at last walk in the room & we felt reali cosy & something like our own function, our own space...
