Met up with a close group of chums for lunch and coffee.... Haven't meet them regularly since our event 2 years back. Definitely miss each of them a lot and I really enjoy the time together and while we were updating about each other latest progress, excited Bella dear pecah lobang me and the cat got let out of the bag. =P
Well did feel a little paiseh since I was denying the "cat" earlier on while chatting with GF and TT. Kekeke! But I know they will understand... and sweetie Bella and Sketches were so excited to arrange a Hens and Cockadoodoo Party for me. hahahaha!! Why Cockadoodoo?? Only Sketches will know the answer. =P
Well, the invitation was really a tough decision for us since we wanted a small wedding of 100pax but between the two of us, we have much, much more friends than we wanted to invite...
It was a very tough decision. Well the experts said...
Step 1. Sit down with your intended and list everyone you can think of to invite.
Step 2. Use the one-year rule for friends: If you haven't had a meaningful conversation with this person within the last year, don't invite him or her.
Step 3. Ask your parents on both sides to help you cull people from the list.
Step 4. Avoid the "If I invite this friend, I must invite all friends" trap. And don't feel obligated to invite people who invited you to their wedding. Relationships change.
Step 5. Exclude children if possible. Suddenly a family of six is a manageable party of two.
Step 6. Address the invitations only to those you intend to invite. If your single friend rates an invitation and isn't seeing anyone seriously, you don't have to include "and guest."
Step 7. Keep the list limited to personal friends. Do you hang out with co-workers away from the office? If not, don't invite them.
Step 8. Make sure that the same number of people are invited from each side. This will prevent in-laws from feeling cheated.
Step 9. Keep in mind that on average, about 25 percent of your guests won't be able to make it.
Step 10. Make a first and second list. Put the absolutely-must-invites on the first list, and as the RSVPs come in, send an invitation from the second list for each regret.
Well, I did get a little upset while trying to "balance" my guests with Moocow and his mother, especially everyone got their OWN "MUST-INVITE" people but I am really glad we are able to accommodate and compromise to one another. Well, some close chums will still be "missing" my really exclusive wedding ...sorry pals but I do hope they can understand and we can always do a little small separate party later.
Hugz friends!!

Mini-Impostor will be our wedding car... =P kekeke! It was never Mini-impostor to be what she isn't but then she too often got mistaken as a rich super cousin, Mini-cooper. I was lucky enough that Mother Cow will be helping us with decorating Mini-impostor. And I went over to Spotlight to get some basic materials and for S$9.90 each, I got a tigger and a piglet (to be imposed as bunny bunny) as part of the decoration. It took me less than 15mins to piece them up.

Was searching high and low for the good old days chalkboard that we used to have as kid as part of my DIY ideas for the wedding... I couldn't find it even in toy shop... so decided to DIY myself using a photoframe and chalkboard paint. I had lots of fun. Kekeke! Photoframe and chalks from IKEA and Chalkboard paint from Spotlight

Someone passed me this link . Found it quite interesting so sharing it here... do checklist against YOURS. kekekeke!
1. Marry a man who has friends
2. Marry a man who uses money responsibly
3. Marry a man who is not a mother's boy
4. Marry a man who whose life you cant run
5. Marry a man who has a sense of humour
6. Marry a man who is willing to forgive, praise, be courteous
Most important, remember when you marry, you marry the man and his problems. Dun expect to change him after marriage. It's impossible.
Take note of his family and his ties with his family and this will be basis shaping his character and values that will continue into yours.

Recently visited the Marina @ Keppel Bay and Moi thought it's really a lovely venue for a simple, cosy and small wedding where the sky and the sea meet... and definitely a lovely spot to pop the special question. *wink*

The good thing about keeping the wedding small is that it is possible to personalise a lot of things ... basically because it's easier and one thing that I really wanted to personalise is the Wedding invites.
With less than 30 invitation cards to send out, it will be really a waste in terms of resources, materials and money to get the printer to print and so I went to type out and do the alignment for the wedding words (both english and chinese) onto 70gsm translucent paper, paper cut each piece nicely, fold them and tie the wedding inserts onto the provided cards by RH.
Well, the chinese wordings and greetings can be rather complex.... e.g. the youngest daughter is called "幼女" but the only daughter is called "小女".
Here are some useful resources :-

I even designed a "logo" and printed them onto each envelope. hahahahha!
Despite all the careful planning, ONE BIG IMPERFECTION, there is a typo!! GRRRRRRRR!!! See, if you can SPOT it. =P
