on financial plan for wedding

Recently there's too many mixed feelings. In term of financial, family and dream wedding. After wedding is very important. I read before there were cases where because of wedding, couples applied a lot of financial loan. There was one story where this one couple since they had a lot of money on their hand, they lavishly spent on the designer items. Bought the new wedding outfits (send to designer), giving the other half items like ipad, blackberry, spent on expensive dais and a lot more. And after the wedding event ended, they have to use all of their salary to pay the loan. Sigh.

Girls out there, always remember wedding day is a one day event. The most important thing is after the wedding day. Pls don't care so much about what other ppl think. Ppl will always talk. Saying things like '' oh simplenye wedding dia'', '' sikitnya duit hantaran'', '' xcantik pon makeup die (well I did say that. but I blamed the MUA)'', ''xcantikla hantaran dia'', '' eh kenapa no hantaran xgenap'', '' sikitnya menu dia'', ''nape sikit sgt org dtg wedding dia'' , ''doorgift bagi ni je? bekas bukan main besar lagi'' bla bla bla. Some will hurt your feeling so much but its not like they are the one who will feed you afterwards. In fact the purpose of wedding feast is to inform people that we are getting married. My brother even said, if you don't have enough money, just invite small number of ppl but use the kompang to announce your wedding. I couldn't agree more. Its true.

So for my wedding later, only small number of ppl will be invited. Definitely will not reach up to 1000. Nope. And I wont spend a lot on the doorgift. Especially the packaging. You know ppl nowadays love to use the glass jar for the doorgift? I was also tempted with the idea. But when I showed to my mom, she said 'so bekas akan lebih mahal dari isinya?" hahaha. Its true. Its not like the glass jar is so gorgeous.

Back then during my sister's wedding, she just gave muffin. Her muffin was expensive. 1 muffin = RM1 but together with box. And for kids, she gave marshmallow. And ppl loved the muffin. And the extra muffins we saved it in the fridge and they can last for more than a week! Yeah, talk about being practical! Hahaha.

Okay I've been rambling a lot now.

Before I stopped, I already bought candies for my small candy buffet. Hihi. My candy buffet will have this:

1) apam polkadot
2) fruits i.e grapes
3) marshmallow
4) gummy
5) mini pudding
6) candies
7) corn pudding (which my mom promise to make)

Only 7? I don't care. I don't want to add more. lol

So to my friend who will come to my engagement (so sad my tukang buat hantaran omay cannot make it (T_T)), this is my candy buffet arrangement. Please help to arrange if happen to be I am busy on that day.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.
