Hens & Cockadoodoo Party

Written on 11:50 PM by Moobells

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!!
