this usually for girl's side. We did Tim Hortons for meh friends $10 bucks, close aunties, we got Lido cake gift certificates. Since we were 'closer' relatives, we did $25.
* Dried seafood (and other dried goods) - were all from T&T packages.. maybe don't get the T&T ones but you get the jist. We did the wet cans of abalone.
the MOST important part was to WRITE ALL THIS SHIT DOWN. I talked to my mother in law, if you expect $8888 you can kick rocks. If you're ok with $888 or 1818 etc.. Please agree so there are no miscommunications.
We almost had too many guest with my cousin. They said 20 tables, but ended up with 26 and they thought it was "AROUND 20 tables" FFS
