Yeah, MBS also told me to self make my own candy bar if I want, instead of getting a vendr to do it because they discourage me from bringing cream items too.

For my pre wed and AD photog, I'm using The Happy Fish. Quite happy with their service so far. Not sure if it's the common practice but the photog actually went to scout the locations I had in mind for photo shoots! I'm pretty impressed. Gonna meet up with him again this weekend. So far they've been pretty professional.

I'm just not sure if I should engage VG for my AD. Is it really necessary? Any opinion/tip welcomed!

Hello beautiful bride to be for this Oct! It's good to have found this group as great support network!
HTB and I have done the meet the parents discussion. Had it at one of the Putien outlets.
Discussed about expectations... Like level of superstition and number of tables (both sets of parents are somewhat traditional and have their own superstitions) to "give" to the bride. The rest was more of chit chat for them to get to know each other so it'll be easier when we do things together down the road, eg buying of 四点金 & other wedding stuffs.
Mine was alright. The typical dinner one would expect when the folks are around.
Hope yours would be fruitful as well.

Hello!! I'm also 29 Oct 2016 Btb! Proposal made 1 Jan 2016 and in that month, we have decided on venue + bridal boutique + JP + MUA + bridesmaids.
Not much of a choice actually as we are going to collect the keys for our house early Q2. Gonna be a year of wedding + house planning...
Am glad to be on this forum to get some support and encouragement along the way. <3
Thank you! Hope he'll agree to be my jp!You can email him at [email protected]

I'm a 16 Oct bride!!
Same here!
Hi all! I'm a 29th Oct Bride too!
I have seen so many brides mostly all the things settled. But I have only settled with venue, and BS. OMG
May I ask your price range for AD PG + VG + Photobooth?
I'm looking at 1 at round $3,588 - Is it too pricey?
And what decorations should we actually prepare? Only for reception table? I'm so lost! Haha

Hey I'm a 29 Oct bride too! Where did u settle for BS and venue?
The one that's $3588 includes AD pg and VG and photo booth?
I've also just about settled the same stuffs as you. Not sure if I've left out anything. But don't feel there's anything else I need to do until pre wed shoot draws near leh.
Oh I've also confirmed by JP cos my ROM is in May.
Depending on the bridal boutique you plan to go. Some allow gown fitting some don't. I got mine in JB and they allow you to try on the gowns first. I didnt wear nubra then, but it is required when you go for your photoshoot and AD!
I am also hunting for VG and PG! Also about that range if you want good ones. My friend got hers from at $1k each but they are like Freshies... I am contemplating too, saw the results last year but not too impressed. Totally the art of balancing cost and expectations...
I am doing my Solemnisation together (already secured a JP) with the AD on 29th Oct. But because our house is coming in Q2, I need to sign cert at ROM with the man. Any idea who are needed to be present / the required dressings / who to invite? Do we also need to book a JP? Or just book a slot on ROM website and pay the fees can already? Thankful for advice!

If u want to do it outside, u can book a JP. If u want to do it at ROM itself, just book a slot. You need 2 witnesses.
The solemnisation is like a quick ceremony done before my wedding banquet commences (same day). It is more of reciting the vows and exchanging of rings. We have booked the JP for this already.
Because we need to collect our house keys, so we need to head down to ROM to sign the marriage cert-> do we need a JP and 2 witnesses as well? Thanks!
bluepaperrose
Member
No need for JP because there will be officers there already. But yes you still need your witnesses.
bluepaperrose
Member
But because you have already signed your cert, is your JP ok with just doing the ceremony without the whole signing?
Got it! Thanks a lot... How about dresscode? Anything in particular? I imagined it to be pretty casual but not sure if it is too sloppy for the event...
I didnt thought of that! Would he actually mind? Omg, thanks for alerting me on this lol. I better let him know that it is just for vows and exchanging of rings...
bluepaperrose
Member
Because technically a JP is present because we need them to marry us. But for your case, you've already signed so his position is quite redundant.
I think smart casual at ROM ba. Even though it's a simple ceremony, it's symbolic as well.
So you'll exchange rings + vows twice? Why not show HDB your receipt that you're getting married in Oct so you can get the keys first then submit cert after?

Oh I didnt know we can do that. If yes, that would be even better. So a receipt of the wedding venue deposit will do yah?

Yes you can. A lot of people do this actually! Email your HDB officer and let her know that you guys have booked your banquet already. Submit all the neccesary receipts (with the dates) to justify your reason. If you took grant, it may be a lil more difficult if you meet strict officers.
Got it! Thanks a lot babe!!
Shall go try!klijing_sg

You can inform Hdb and normally they ask you to get it done within 6 months if approved..
Yes it will be! Hehe, thanks for the info!You can inform Hdb and normally they ask you to get it done within 6 months if approved..

I don't know mine is lucky or unlucky.
The auspicious date for us in 2016 is this 1 date only. Lol. Sooo no choice but to rush it. We only started planning early Jan 2016!
