Money Saving Techniques

[Genesisz]

Actually wedding banquet, if you don't too extravagant, simple one at restaurant etc, the angpow will cover the cost one.

If you invite bosses etc, they usually will give bigger amount. Peers usually will give at least their own "seat" price. End of the day, might even have net gain.

I had my wedding around 2010 and it was held in a restaurant. I was fortunate that mine was a breakeven.

Ya lock in then they close within the two yrs means can cry
Installment not a gd idea at all for these things
Don't learn the bad things from yr sis
If under installment banks wana charge u annual fee u also can't say cancel card
Save the money before house ready. Then use the money buy furnitures etc

Well, the fact is that my bro-in-law and my sis managed to clear them off within 2 years for all instalments. Even renovations as well. My sister want to keep the cash flow without getting stucked on large purchases for fear for any sudden purchases during wedding; which I might agree that it do happen quite oftenly.

Save $$ first before hand and then buy furnitures is really a good idea, but 2 years is pretty long for things might increase in prices.

Wedding banquet the most ideal mindset is expect to lose.
That way you don't feel bad when your friends and relative pay you very little.

That's why I think I will not want a banquet next time when I do get married. Just a small gathering will be good enough. Part of the point is, not everyone is there for the wedding willingly too.

Prepare so much, spend so much just for the sake of going through the motion. March in, montage, eat, march in, yum seng, take photo then show ends. Wedding photo album few thousands also hardly touch in few years.

I have friend who spend a lot on diamond ring, wedding banquet and in the end divorce in 2 years. It is not the money or thought that counts. It is the heart that matters. Marriage is all about give and take if you want a sustainable relationship.

I even told my parents that there will be no banquet.
Cos we have been to those relatives one, it is really very mundane and it seems to be it's really just for show. Like an official thing to tell relatives that one is married.
So at least parents wise it's settled.

I totally agree.
Rather spend those money on physical stuff, like house or renovation or stuff that can enhance life of both parties. Those are just memories, and who will remember after 10 years down the road?

Unless you are my good friend, if not really not worthwhile to invite you.
Then again, this kind is the unexpected type lor

The banquet is all about face.

rather give ppl laugh say low class than having to shoulder all the debts and no money in bank. use the money saved for the kid and better honeymoon in europe.
