my birthday

like us

i received this precious moment figurine from my hubby. i had always wanted to get it. the every first time when i saw this figurine, i told him, that's us. we always laze around on the sofa just like that. hehehe..... 

bed frame arrived

finally, our bed frame is here. our master bedroom no longer has the empty space. our expensive simmons mattress will be in tomorrow, i can't wait to sleep on it. but its a NO NO to sleep on the bed till ad. :(

extra invitation cards

finally, shirley from american wedding treaures called me to collect the extra invitation cards that we had requested. our extra inserts is also ready for collection. will be collecting them tomorrow.

album layout confirm

went to graceful image to confirm our album layout. next is waiting for them to develop into photos then we go down again to arrange the paginations.

i tried on the kua too. since kua is standard size, no alteration is required although i find it loose.

ad theme

went to fullerton to select and confirm ad deco, flowers and colour theme. met up louis the new coordinator after evelyn left. guess what, he is from merchant court, the coordinator we met up with previously. its such a small world! the meeting went fine. he will send us samples pic of what we have confirm today.

invitation and banquet

i have printed all the guest names (for my friends/colleagues and hubby's colleagues) on our inserts and now the invitation cards ready for distribution to guest. i printed some for fil's friends too, that will save him a lot of time writing them. then we realised our cards and inserts are not enough, need to inform louis to prepare another 100 cards and printer to print more. its so scary to know that the tables for banquet had to increase from hardly 35 tables to 48 tables now. must check with louisi on mon if they can take in so many tables.

count down..... 44 days

the date is drawing nearer and nearer. i think i didn't complete anything except for food tasting and printing inserts for invitation cards. help!!!!!

e-invitations

my cards and inserts are ready. going to prepare and input the guest names. i have also done up an email version for friends who don't need the card.


how to address our guests?

i'm going to send out invitation cards to our guests this or next week since i'm collecting my cards later. i'm thinking of doing away with mr whoever and ms whoever, just write their name. this arrangement will be ok if i'm inviting individuals. but if its a family or husband/wife, how should it be? headache....

invitation

both invitation cards and inserts are ready for collection. will collect them on mon. 2 more things off my list. phew!!!

ang pao $$

as i was listing down the amount and nos of ang pao we need for ad, then its strikes me, what is the politically right amount? any advise?

1. jie mei - max $288
2. xiong di - $48
3. children that are around - $4 each
4. driver - $28
5. mua - $28
6. photographer - $28
7. open door boy - $68
8. tea serving lady - $28
9. younger sister who serve us tea - $28

do we need to give reception helpers, main coordinator for banquet, emcees, etc???? :(

photo story 3

photo story 3 is a better programme for ad montage compare to windows movie maker. i just complete my version 3 of the ad montage. it looks better now with photo story 3. thumbs up for photo story 3

songs confirmed.

we have confirmed our march in songs:

1st march in - From This Moment (Shania Twain)
2nd march in - 小夫妻（欧德洋）

preparations continues....

yeah!!! i have finally bought all the non-food stuff for 'guo da li'. phew... another thing off my list. next is to bring them to my aunt's place for her to tie them up with red ribbon. hope i didn't leave anything out. will get the food stuff a few days before 'guo da li' but need to find out where to buy them. heheh.....

finally....  we bought our bed frame today after a long search. although its not exactly what i imagine it will look like but its the best we can find so far. at least when our simmons mattress arrive end of the month, there is a bed to place it. i don't think i will find the perfect one unless we custom made it but its really out of budget now.
