Recession coming. Any1 worried abt banquet for 2009

[tingting1000]

hello,

heard that recession next yr.
which means guests will tighten their red packets.

Care to share the avg for banquet per table?
Do u think guest will tighten their red packets?

 

[vallous]

its still depends on which hotel and how close r u to the couple.

if in recession..it doesnt matter the table or the hotel..ppl give as they can afford.

yes guests will give less.

If you not ready to give ppl a treat then forget abt asking how much ppl will return you back. Its a wedding dinner treat. If knt afford, perhaps find a cheaper option or hold it till later can afford. Dont rely on red packet.

Jus went to my friend wedding which is close to $700 per table and she jus breakeven so I think tables more than $700 is more prone to make a loss..

I think dun think how much ang bao will be given cos feel very stress that way..

Jus accept their blessings n be prepared to make a loss..

I guess nowadays everybody tightening their pockets.

Think of just to break or minimise loss. To earn profits is considered very very gd n fortunate le.

sian sian... i very scare i didnt break even... wedding end of the yr..

 

[purinne]

actually ... best to treat it as u will b makin a loss ... else mite b disappointed ... also ... will hav additional stress to weddin plannin ...

but of course gotta find sth tat fits ur budget

 

[comatised]

Yes, am preparing myself for the worst. hopefully our loss will be less than 5k.

If can breakeven I'll xie tian xie di!

Good luck to all 2009 Brides!

 

[purinne]

if my mum not returning e ang baos to us, we are already negative 6 tables even before e wedding..

 

[purinne]

hav u chosen ur venue, lai?

coz after taking into consideration of the angbaos we have to give to my mum for the tables she took, FH and I decided to go for a hotel tat fits our budget better instead of goin for our fav hotel ... hopefully it will minimise our loss

 

[daffier]

hi gals,

think we shouldn't expect too much la..especially since in the first place, we have decided to go with a banquet..

my table is around $900+ on a saturday..don't expect to breakeven also..just treat it as a happy occasion to receive the blessings from our frens and relatives

 

[comatised]

Hi Purinne,

Yep, signed up for Conrad last month...my mom haven't say anything about tables she wants so both FH and I act blur...kekeke....

But I kinda dropped some hints to ask my parents if they want anything but they didn't say anything so far...hopefully they don't change their mind. But FH and I already prepared to give them big big ang bao!

Cheers!

 

[purinne]

... i had wanted to hav mi weddin luncheon there ....
