settlethekettles first.

onto the updates of projecthun as of May 2013, for personal tracking purposes -

pre-marriage course:
reserved and paid. hoorahhh.

venue and catering with waiters and waitresses:
approximately fifty percent secured - went down to site to discuss about the dates/food/settings/etc, and i was pretty much confirmed of the place. these, add in the kendarats in the package - sukaaaaa! deposit have been made, im a few thousands poorer for the next few months.whats left is menu confirmation and food tasting. food? yummms.

photography and videography:
settledthiskettle, yeay! browsed their works, liked their packages, downed the deposit, sealed the deal.

bridal henna:
it wasnt a headache to select the vendor. having shortlisted three famous vendors - Syraskin, Saheli Henna and Pesona Belle, i did a little comparing here and there. anyway, Saheli Henna charges sooooo high. in all honesty, its not something i need to deliberate, because each vendor have their own strengths. within the week, i decided to go with one of them, placed my deposit and stroked this item off the checklist. hoorah!

wedding emcee:
lazy btb on a budget decided to not wait so many quotations time to find an emcee. it was a headache initially. i dont want to call any of my friends to be an emcee, because the boleh pakai ones are in the guest list. yet, i find nobody suitable for this role. sourced out a couple of companies, got a reply and decided to just go ahead with it. price-wise, still okay lah. below four-digit amount.

wedding car:
no need lah. we have our own already, no need to throw moolah on another, even for a couple of days. perhaps just throw in some flower arrangements, give the car a good interior and exterior polish, and voila! a wedding car! jimat cermat, yo!

on the other hand,a list of stuffs to start sourcing and find quotations:

• bridal service
• bridal bouquet
• dais and decoration
• kompang
• wedding cake
• wedding favors
• dessert bar (maybe)
• photobooth (maybe)

and the list of things to come up with:

• nikah guest lists
• receptions guest lists
• nikah itinerary
• receptions' itinerary
• nikah's invitation card details
• receptions' invitation card details 

may other btbs' planning so smoothly as it can be :)
