Are you available?
Posted on March 12th, 2008 at 11:23 pmOur banquet manager, Jane, contacted us last week to inform us that the wedding cards were ready for collection. Over the past few days, Evon and I had been busy sorting out the wedding dinner invitation details. One thing for sure, this ain’t no easy task because it involved lotsa considerations and encompassed lotsa complexities. Eventually, we had to make some painful and difficult decisions.
Our starters went something like the following …
“Will you be in town on 2 June 2008?”
“Do you happen to be travelling during the period 2 June 2008?”
“Will you be back in Singapore on 2 June 2008?”
For the longest period of time, sending out wedding invites to relatives and friends have been ranked one of the toughest tasks in the entire wedding preparation process. If the Chinese characters are not written correctly, i.e. additional or missing strokes, it may mean we are probably not going to expect this guest at the wedding dinner. Such situations are more common in traditional families or to folks who are very particular about such details.
Evon and I managed to get a on-the-spot confirmation from some of our friends and ex-colleagues. A handful of them will only be able to respond closer towards the day. That’s understandable because some needs to travel while others may have other programmes planned out during that period. In anticipation of that, we decided to kick things off early so as to give others ample time to decide.
As we count down, we are like about 80+ days to our wedding dinner. We are slowly feeling the rush of adrenalin already. Pray for us that everything will go smoothly. Cheers!
