Hi Avatar 82,

Your GDL items look cute. Where did you get them from. I would like to get them as well. BTW, my AD is 4/11/10 @ Orchard Hotel.

 

[txl]

thanks avatar =)

 

[thiasy]

Hi Ck_cher: I got the GDL items from city square: ideal collections. If you are the member,can enjoy 20% discount... which ballroom u taking? hehe.. My AD is on 23 Oct 2010, at ballroom 3

 

[ck_cher]

Mine will be held @ OB3. U mean member of ideal collections / sporebrides to get the 20% disc. BTW, have u select ur wedding theme already. Any new theme / wedding favours @ OH.

 

[thiasy]

Member of ideal collection will get 20% discount. Because i always buy things from there, so i paid for the membership card at RM10. quite worth it.

Yup.. Selected the wedding theme already. Going for the dazzling dream theme. The one with alot of pink roses? hehe.. My table cloth for VIP tables will be purple and for the other tables, i chosen pink cloth. Never see any new theme leh.

Wedding favour wise, I chose the oven glove and chopsticks. Very pinkish and suit my princessy theme. hehehe...

 

[ck_cher]

Wah... So early confirmed the theme & favour liao. Last week, I called my co-ordinator and she told me that is too early to confirm. She ask me to meet up with her 1.5 - 2 mths (b4 AD).

 

[thiasy]

I confirmed the theme and favour last mth. At the same time, i did the following

- Confirm the music
- Confirm my menu and fix the food tasting date
- Collected my angpao box and guestbook.
- Collected invitation card from T dragon & sent to JB for printing.. Will be collecting my cards this coming sunday.

Currently my tentative invites has been sent out to my relatives and friends. 70% has reverted. So can starting doing table arrangement in July.

Now left AD programme to finalise.

how's ur wedding preparation?

 

[ck_cher]

Hows the design of the invites from T dragon. Cos i am thinking to print all the cards & inprint from T & T (JB). BTW, i have only gather my tentative guest list. Rest still danling here & there. So fast, OH can let you do the confirmation already ar. Who is your co-ordinator.

 

[thiasy]

hmm.. Got alot of cards to choose. But all not v nice. I end up chosing the designated card by Orchard Hotel. The design same as my guest book. Maybe i can upload for you to have a look nxt week together with the wedding inserts from T & T (JB).

My coordinator is Xueling.

 

[felshan]

Mine's Xueling too! But she said one or two months before..Haha...

 

[thiasy]

Haha.. she also mentioned 1 or 2 mths before. But i wanna clear my wedding stuff and do other things, so i brought forward the finalisation meeting.

Once i finalised the items, i will not be making any further changes. Super lazy. hahaha...

[michecwy]

[thiasy]

Michelle: haha.. yar lor.. decided to print my colour photo on it so that my card won't look too dull. hehe.. price quite reasonable

 

[happybride12]

avatar: for ur invitation card, how much is the printing of the colour photo? the insert is the map of hotel?

 

[txl]

woah!!! your wedding card is indeed very nice. Great Job Avatar!!!Going to persude my HTB to settle our card in City Square hee hee Btw the how much is the insert alone?
Btw, my coordinator is Xueling too hee hee
she allows you to seetle your stuff so many months in advance?

 

[thiasy]

happybride: My insert never include map.

Xinli: The insert with colour photos - i paid RM275 for 200 inserts. (it's about S$119 in total). Per piece will be S$0.60)

Yup, doesn't really make a difference whether i settle many months before the wedding or 1 mth before the wedding. Because once i fixed it, i'm lazy to change it. hahaha... I will try not to make any changes.
