Ok……..we are now printing our wedding card insert, so that after the 7th month, we can start giving out invitations le……1st day of 8th Lunar Month is on 1 Sept 2008……..which means i got abt 6 weeks before wedding. Jus nice right?

Anyway…….i’m quite pissed wif the wedding card insert printing….Actually we were referred to T-Dragon by our banquet, and we did went, but by then it was already 4 days before 7th mth start and my mom says no decisions are to make during 7th month, u can plan but not decide……EVEN DECIDE LET WHO PRINT also cannot!!!! so we oni got 4 days to decide~

So…… we went and then was quoted 200++ for 300pcs. We actually wanted since they already got the layout and everything just that THEY ARE REALLY VERY BUSY LAH, tat gal was actually attending to 4 couples at one go. See how busy she is? Cuz she really got alot banquets/restaurants tied up wif them.

Anyway, I was printing inserts, not onto the cards, so….200++ k for hot stamping lah.

And before leaving at 5pm, the guy who used to print namecards for my co finally called back and i did told him i wanted to print, so he was eager to meet me the next day. Thus we didnt confirm on the first day! we wanted to compare and see how.

So this guy, G, he quoted me 140nett for 300pcs, but it’s jus printing, not wat hot stamping lah, which i think is good enuff… so of cuz take right?

in the end, we were told we have to provide everything for him lor…… the english and the chinese. And while at TD, i saw ppl jus need to change name, then add 10 for 1 logo and another 10 for another logo. so 20 for 2 logos k…pay more do less?

okok, i tot i can jus copy and paste so i send him the first time. he says cannot  come out will be blur, cuz i scanned the sample i had and cut and paste the 2 samples he gave me.

2nd time……i finally did a very nice one and retyped the whole chinese part for him (spending the whole night)……. he says ok, but cannot insert clipart cuz my clipart not 300dpi……KNS, wah biang, u early say lah, u think i know the clipart got how much resolution meh.

and also, in betw he was MIA-ing for 3-4 days or 1 week?

Finally, last night, dear robin worked his night away to rearrange and making sure that all are in 480dpi, and all fonts/characters are editable, so no lost of resolution.

he did send us a copy of the insert and super imposing onto our wedding card. so far it looks nice……

Now wif fingers crossed, i hope he can deliver to us on 1st sept 08 wif wat we expected!

Please bless us!

Updates

• Today, just confirmed my solemniser, i invited the one that solemnise my relative as I think he left me a great impression, hopefully he will make my day well. Had a great talk with him and am grateful for his gentle reminder. For more info on filling for solemnisation, please to ROM.
• Btw, Solemnisation is after 1st march in, would really hope our guests wont be late so that we can have everybody in the banquet hall to withness it. =P
• Photoshoot had been done on 24th June 2008, it was a great experience though it was tiring…quite fun actually, just tat by the end of the day, my jaws are too tired to even open. Am waiting for them to call us up to choose photos!
• Room-wise…. Wardrobe, Bed + Mattress, Curtain, Lights all installed! Now is to get a night table, a chest of drawer, a fan and a computer desk and our room is complete! Thought no renovation was done, but so far we are quite satisfied with the outcome. Especially i see the “happiness” through robin’s eyes.
• As August is approaching (the 7th Month), preparations may come to a halt, so invitations will oni be sent out in Sept.
• Food tasting scheduled on 22nd July 2008 (Tue), we would be choosing our theme, wedding favours, invitation card as well… (or i think so)
• The most problematic thing – Guest list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or rather RSVP, cuz inviting ppl is easy, but checking the confirmed attendance would need some approach.
• We already booked some rooms @ Copthorne Orchid for our relatives (from KL) as that is the nearest as the exit of the hotel is facing RTC.. heee

phew……lengthy text post. Jus to update you guys what we had been doing…

Extract from their website :

Pan Pacific Singapore presents the perfect option with two pillar-less ballrooms for grand banquets of up to 650 guests complete with a private foyer for pre-wedding cocktails.

• Customised menus of world-class standards to befit the occasion. Regardless of the venue chosen, 
• the wedding couple will be able to custom-tailor the ambience with the sophisticated lighting system and floral decorations with their bloom of choice.

This hotel really left a very good impression for me, as its ballroom is very grand that till now i still remb it! heeeee the wedding i attended is at least 10yrs ago.

As it’s the 2nd day of year 2008, more couples are eager to get wedding banquet packages to book their special day!

If so, gonna be hurry……though it used to take 1 year, but now booking may take up to 1.5 yrs.

As I had a nephew(my cousin’s son, but he’s elder than me =P) getting married in jan 09, so was passing him all the packages that I sourced and found that I actually did not post all of them, so decided to share~

• Furama Riverfront 
• Grand Copthorne [Location: Outram, Havelock Rd; Near Zouk]
• Orchid Country Club [Location: Yishun]
• Pan Pacific [Location: Convention Centre, City]
• Regent Hotel
• Rendezvous Hotel [ The ballroom is quite nice, and we managed to talk the banquet manager(not the coordinator), we found him to be quite nice]
• Rendezvous – Promotion for year 2008 
• Sheraton Hotel [Location: Orchard]

Hope it helps~

Here are some of the wedding banquet packages that I had sourced during my search:

Amara Hotel Wedding Package

Carlton Hotel Package

Holiday Inn Atrium Package

Holiday Inn Park View Wedding Package

Intercontinental Hotel Wedding Package

Rasa Sentosa Wedding Package

Swissotel the Stamford, Singapore Package

Suntec Convention Hall Wedding Package

Traders’ Hotel Package

Hope it helps……but all of them are for year 2008, so only just for reference.

The above pics are the themes for Holiday Inn Atrium….Lavender, Starry Night and Bronze Bondiour respectively…and also the dmmy wedding cake!

We took them during their wedding show on 15th Sept 2008.

Anyway, same thing, the coordinaters didn’t care much us, so as usual, it’s a big no-no for us….. we need some attention too k?

Since I have already taken, so share the photos, in case there are interested ppl….

The grand ballroom can hold up to 46 tables i think, and the walk-in is an L shapre (this is according the wedding tat i attended in dec 06)

Anyway one problem is the reception area, as there might be a case of 2 weddings on the same day and  they shared the same corridor, so guests might go to the wrong table on the Actual day! (because it actually happened to me) but food wise is quite ok and decor not bad…thought the ceiling is abit low (such tat we can notice) else the banquet package is quite good and attractive, jus that mayb we don’t look potential enuff, so nobody attended us!?!?!?

• Our date is confirmed!
• Our Banquet fixed!
• Parents Meeting Up Ok!

Date: 11/10/2008

Banquet: Raffles Town Club – Dunearn Ballroom

Parents Meeting up……. actually they only end up chit chat and catch up…..since the last time they met is may -.-” but of cuz they did discuss small details and that leave everything to us……..

 The Bridal Studio – GH Tamp jus told us (after we made all the way there) that the designer is Tanjong Pagar @#$@#%^@$^, but ok it’s nearer as it’s central and it’s D. G. anyway……. haf to update them the date and then design shd finalized by the end of this yr~~

V tired but finally can heaved a sigh of relief because now the main outline is out!

Amara Hotel

We attended the Wedding show on 18th August 2007….

It’s on our list of potential ones…..but the wedding planner is too busy to take note of us, which left us abit unhappy.

Anyway, here’s the pictures…

There have 2 stage designs, this’ one of them as we didnt manage to take the other one because we are avoiding the BS.

This is one of the 4 themes, they haf 2 major color themes -Gold or Red

Tat’s all about Amara…..

Today it’s our first time to visit ballrooms.

1. Amara Hotel
2. M Hotel
3. Rasa Sentosa

We declared M hotel and Rasa Sentosa out of our list.

M Hotel

(Out at the moment, we may consider if there’s no option – maybe the function room)

• For ballroom, the price is $898Nett on weekend, there’s a 700+++ for function room but the co-ordinator is not around introduce to us.
• Out of the place, further from the MRT station than the Amara
• Lobby abit messy

Rasa Sentosa

• Not convenient, have to change train to bus then train and bus….
• The solomenization place seem stuffy (it’s at the lobby pavillion)
• The hotel looks old…..
• and always seem packed with company functions

The Amara…. (It’s in the list), shall edit tomorrow and post up photos.
