mystee SG thats the rite attitude manz.. try & save more.. by spending only the necessarities from now onwards.. buy the needs... not the wants... & your big day will be here soon..

sunny6110 SG around $800+++ per table in Hotels at orchard area.... downpayment 20% loan for $120k for 3 rm flat... cash $12k cpf $12k wedding dinner one is an investment... can take back one... U calculate properly... should earn some $$
Xcert SG dunno why most people seem to factor in the ang pows to minus the cost of the wedding dinner... there is no 100% that ur ang pow money can cover the cost of the wedding dinner...there is a chance that U will make a loss...then how?owe credit card company(24% interest hor)?dig,borrow,steal from somewhere? Throw ur wedding dinner only when U are sure that U can cover the costs without ang pow...then ur ang pow money will be something "extra".

honeymouse SG Just be realistic with everything you do. Getting married is not all about the wedding only, it's a love union between you and your partner. Because you see others have a glamorous wedding, you don't necessarily have to have a wedding like them. Why stress yourself to save money for an expensive wedding (1 day event) instead of trying to save $$ to provide your partner a comfortable life after you're married? Money is one of the causes of marriage breakdown. So if you really love each other, focus on how both of you can maintain a healthy and happy marriage rather than the wedding itself. Just do what you can afford. Happy planning and good luck!
mystee SG anyone from ntu can talk abt inflation... cos all of us must study a module on econ.. but the way he speak.. sound like insurance agent lar..
Urroh SG no money= simple wedding/ROM Rich=Grand wedding For not so rich people, do a simple 1.. then spent money on honeymoon even worth it..
BufPuf SG spend within yr limits i got friends who burst their accounts becoz of their wedding and spend the next few years slogging to repay the loans Must plan early if want to get marry. Really must force yourself to put aside some part of your salary.
dcx SG Tell your SO for the next 2 years, NO LV, Prada, Gucci, Piaget, Mountblanc, Coach, Cartier can liao...
shinta SG wah everyone must take econs so cham.... sounds like insurance agent meh? the insurance agents i see dun talk abt inflation one... the only time i heard that was when i hear ppl tryin to make u deposit money with them to invest in risky stuff like commodities or futures
