Its been almost 2 months since my wedding.

I've decided to update about the process of my wedding for the benefits of those getting married soon, like my ai ren. LOL.

Lets start through the process of booking of Bridal package, Hotel, Cakes etc.

We started off with the booking of Hotels first. Looking at various hotels, we compared the prices & package they offer. Most importantly is whether the hotel charge corkage charge for the wine & liquor you bring in. NEVER EVER choose a hotel that charge corkage unless you have too much money to spend on a bottle of wine that will cost you at least 30 bucks.
Of course, calculate how much additional cash you have that allows you to pay up for the balance after deducting your ang bao.
Since we are at the ang bao issue, never ever calculate the best ang bao you can get. For me, to play safe, I calculated each ang bao at the rate of $40, $50 & $80. I'm sure you can do this simple calculation. For me, I think $40 is the worse you can ever get, hence if you are able to top up the remaining cash, you are very safe already cos Im sure you don wan to land urself in debts after you wedding right dude? Of cos, if everyone gives you $80 you are most safe.
My parents requested for 10 tables and the angbao from the 10 tables will be kept by them. Hence, your table cost x 10 tables = $ that you confirm have to fork out.

Next will be the bridal shop.
Remember to do your research well. Really, I learnt my lesson the hard way and we were really lucky that we manage to settle it. Dont rush into signing any package. Shortlist a few & then do your research on singaporebrides.com.

Next will be the cakes for "guo da li"
Cakes may look cheap individually. but 40 boxes as requested by my parents dont come cheap together. Same, shortlist a few and compare on the looks and no. of pieces offered and of cos, the service; whether you have to do self - collection or they deliver.

Next on the list will be the buffet to serve.
Shortlist a few as well and do your research online. See what are the comments offered by the people who tried the buffet before. Of course, compare the package and the price to see if it is worth while to order from them.

Hmm.. Ok, I shall cont' when Im free on the actual day and the day before.
