y not sincere?? since u've alrdy book buffet, the cake is optional.. if u give the cake voucher ppl will be v happy.. cos lik wat stonston said, they can choose the cake they want... if got ppl dun wanna take the cake hm or what, ask ur MIL to finish the cake.. maybe give her 2 slices before her meal... ask her finish the cake before having the meal (lik wat she did to ur BB) :001_302::001_302::001_302:

sincerity is from the heart, not from actions.

voucher is more practical. ppl can choose wot they like to eat and WHEN they wanna eat. imagine u give cake then they dun eat, damn wasteful!

Think of all these as outsourcing when planning events with inherited relatives.

I had my bb shower at hb's grandfather's house. They wanted to do everything, including buy cakes etc. So i didn't get invovled in the planning or anything. On that day, me, bb and hb went to the house. No clean up, no payment nothing. haha

Same for bb's first birthday. I did 2 parties. One at my mum's place, one at my mil home (unfortunately i live with mil). The one at my mum's place settled by my mum. The one at the house all paid and organised by mil I didn't do a single thing nor could I be bothered. Didn't even do any cleaning up =D Just be there with bb that's all.

u mean they pay they decide right?

my hubby got mention to me b4 tt FIL might want to sponsor BB's buffet... but I straight away say NO! cos i know once they "sponsor" means they decide everything from the catering to the foods.... unless he dun mind paying and let us join in the discussion lo.. afterall it's my BB's full month.. :tlaugh:
