Arrangements...

Arrangements for the venue have pretty much been sorted... Managed to negotiate the price down a little (RM 20.00 down per table before tax may not sound like alot but factor in that we're looking at 35 tables minimum, it adds up to rm 700.00... the price per table is still a grand though... but hey everyone loves wedding food hahahahahahaha) just need to sign some documents on the 8th of next month and it will be done... The ballroom is cozy and can accommodate 450 guests, so we're good... Might decide not to search sharks fin during the banquet dinner as I think some sharks need to lose their fins so that we can get married and have a good time... The decision might irk some but hey, are they really there for the food or spend time with us??? Also made some provisions for the our Jewish and Muslim friends by ensuring that all the food served is kosher / halal... Have not forgotten about the vegetarian friends and have managed to get a quotation for a 8 course vegetarian menu... RM 698.00 better buy alot of veggies!!! Sampled some of their Chinese food during lunch at it seemed alright...

Had a look at some wedding cards as well today... Had a look at the wedding favours as well... Most of the cards were excessive, befitting more a grand VIP-ish affair unlike our cosy and reserved event with no fanfare but, we did find a couple that we're more toned down and matched our tastes... Basically the cards (inclusive of printing of 2 pages, envelope and design work) will cost approximately rm 1200.00... As for the wedding favours (for the ones we have in mind) that will run for approximately rm 1800.00... The guy however did advise us to go with the run of the mill complementary ones if we managed to get em from the hotel (we are squeezing em for it but we haven't got word back yet... hell I'll squeeze them on the day I drop off the deposit... that way they can smell the money and it would be harder to say no... I hope) and use the money for wedding favours instead...

We're going to scout for some bridal studios tomorrow as upon further review the initial one that we decided on may not necessarily be the best choice for us... Am also trying to squeeze in a visit to a renowned wedding planner to see if they are all their cracked up to be... If they are and we can afford it, they might be the best thing for us...
