August updates

What's up this month? My Birthday, of course!!! :p
2011 August is not about my birthday ONLY. We have other important things to do as well.

There are few wedding preps need to be settled by end of this month :
  • pre-wedding photo shootings
  • invitation cards printing (Malacca + KL)
  • wedding heels
  • wedding favors (Malacca)
  • groom shirts - Singapore shopping and before Mega Sale ends
p/s : Wish to complete above list by Raya break.

Our photo shootings are scheduled on 12th and 26th August. Yet to finalize the props to bring along. Thinking of getting minimal, focusing on the scenery and of course we are the main characters in the photos. NOT the balloons.

Getting my heels next Wednesday (10/8) - right before our PD photo shoot. My very first custom-made shoes. *finger crossed*

I need to slot in an appointment with Hawa to further discuss on the wedding favors and cake. Mummy is planning to order cuppies for GDL as well. Erm... Minor change for the favors and cake.

Can proceed with our card printing once we get the photo from Lasposa. - confidence level HIGH (fail big time if we can't get these simple task done. Haha)

Now I see the importance of hiring wedding planner.. I am not saying couples MUST hire planner to survive. Here is an article "Is A Wedding Planner For You?" for those who are planning a wedding in the near future.
Planning for the big day can be the most stressful part of a wedding. Make your own time and appreciate every single moment - like we do.

Honestly, we never think of getting a wedding planner for our big day. We still manage to get most of the things done as planned (satisfied, although not as perfect we would like it to be). Wedding budget is absolutely essential and should one of the first things to do. (we have an excel sheet to keep track of wedding expenses - at least we don't use 555 notebook. LOL)
We enjoyed preparation process despite the stress and tiredness. Can't really remember if there is any argument in between.
Some good practice to be shared includes - plan ahead, prioritize and communication. :)
 
Apart from the wedding preparations, there are other activities/plans coming up this month. Excited about paintball, party with girls, birthday celebration and Raya break. *woot*
