In a TikTok video that has since garnered over 50,000 views, TikToker user @sl33pydumpling documents how she and her partner had their ROM after-party at their HDB flat with around 30 guests.

According to her, there were 3 main reasons why she and her husband decided to have such a unique celebration:

  1. They had just bought their flat and did not want to spend even more money on a grand wedding
  2. The couple aren’t fans of grand weddings to begin with as those are usually held in the interest of parents and family
  3. It’s less energy to entertain a smaller group of friends

Altogether, the couple spent around S$1,500 to S$2,000 on food, flowers and alcohol, with the bulk of the expenditure going towards the alcohol.

Their cheese section cost a total of S$120 and was from The Cheese Shop and Fairprice Finest, whilst the flowers cost a total of S$200:
