Qing, put your helpers at the so-called lousiest table position. They will be the people who would be understanding and wouldn't mind. That's why you choose them to be your helpers right?
Arrangement from stage should be relatives followed by boss/"important" colleagues followed by friends/colleagues.

Angie, I believe the general guide is if the couple pay, they get to keep all the angbao. If the groom's parents chip in, they can get to keep some angbao too. This is apart from the bride's parents tables. The tables for the bride's parents are considered part of the pin4 li3 package. Have I confused you?
Angie, not necessary that bride's parents keep all the angbaos. It should go accordingly to the tables specified during the guo da li discussion. For eg, if your hubby give your parents 10 tables, then all 10 tables angbao your parents keep. But if your parents eventually need 12 tables, then 2 scenarios arise. Your parents pay for the cost of the 2 additional tables and get to keep angbao for all 12 tables. Or the couple pay for the 2 tables and keep the angbao for the 2 additional tables. The confusion with the 2nd scenario is which 2 table angbao goes back to the couple. For my case, my parents said they will pay for the additional tables if necessary. Thankfully the final guests count for them is 10 tables. So easy way out for us lor.. Cos to take $$ from parents also paiseh right.. hehehe
Brambles, we didn't think of doing an average leh... Good idea. Maybe I should do that. I recall majority fall under the $80-$100 range. Of course there are a fair share of $60 and $120. Even got $200 from close friends.
Btw, how much do you all usually give? I typically give $88 cos it sounds good.

Baobao, you mean you also wish you lose too?! *confused* In any case, just manage your tables carefully and you should be alright. Don't worry unduly...
My mother thinking of returning the red packets to us but we refused. In fact, they didn't even ask for 10 tables during guo da li but we just thought that 10 tables would be a nice number. The wedding is just a one day event.. so transient and also, money can be earned back. The most important thing is for parents to feel good about their children.

cutiebear,
Ya lor, the photos.. I told my fh i will try to keep to max of 4k or at most 5K including the 3K that we pay for the BS. Will try lah, but fh keep want me to guarantee.. yo.. how to guarantee. Later so happened i like it so much then how.. I even consider the possibility of buying back all the sample photos.
For dinner side, I think I will get fh to give back all the angbaos to my fil. Unless we really make profit which I doubt so.
blim,
I am prepare for a loss becos my table cost abt $86 per person. then mine ad on friday.. so high chances people bao $80 or even lesser.
Just hope the loss not so much.

Just hope the loss not so much.Our own personal experience and from survey among our friends: Most wedding album ended up in the drawer collecting dust. Hehehe... So monetary-wise, it's more prudent and cheaper to get your AD photographer to take more pictures, be it at your home or at hotel or at Esplanade or at Lallang fields. I mean I'm talking from the standpoint of a budget-constraint bride lah... In fact, for us, several AD photos came out even nicer than studio shots! Our AD photographer threw in special effects for the end results.

As for me, cos my reno we use hard earn money to pay for everything... And my mum noe we are quite stress too.. Thatwise she told my hubby she will give us back all Ang bao... As my Hubby side oso din fork out a single cents so they will return all money to us too...

Bao Bao... whoa.. from your posting, can feel the maternal love your mum had for you leh.. My opinion? Hubby side is ok cos for guys don't have pin li mah.. for bride side, at least give a token sum of $$ lor... little bit also can... it's just an appreciation for raising you all these years.

Ladies, I learned this trick from other threads. Try this - Schedule a few rounds to select the photos. By the 3rd or 4th round, you should have cooled down somewhat and could easily eliminate more photos liao... And before you step into the bridal shop, keep repeating and reminding yourself that you have budget constraint.
Brambles,
Oops so sorry to leave u out. cos this morning too many things to do liao so not able to catch up with the previous thread.
Baobao,
Me same same situation as u lucky our mothers are understanding if not very siong one hor.
in fact my mum also want more tables to invite her friends but i will try to persuade her later to keep to the minimum as i do not like the feeling of too many unfamliar faces lor.
Miata,
thks for sharing yr photos. still hav no time to c but i believe shld b nice as u n yr hubby is quite beautiful couple.
