[astarte]

[twinxz]

nice sis! continue reading lang ng reviews. dahil dito sa GT madami ako naging learning!

maybe because probationary ka pa lang or maybe madaming textspeak? di ako sure sis e..

[blackgreen]

^ganyan kami sis simple lang yun wedding mas splurge kami sa honeymoon, meron kaming domestic and international honeymoon. Hahahah!! 40% of our total wedding budget honeymoon expenses

[blackgreen]

^hahahaha!! Natawa naman ako sa post mo sis Oo nga tama ka diyan. Yun iba kong friends comment ng comment bakit daw tinitipid ko masyado yun wedding eh once in a lifetime lang daw. Eh sabi ko mas gusto naman namin na mag-splurge sa honeymoon kesa sa wedding reception. Sabi ko nga ke h2b, kung mayaman lang kami at papiliin niya ako ng bonggang wedding pero tour around the world, yun tour pa rin pipiliin ko. Hahaha..

[Crammer Planner]

^ Me too. Even if I win the lottery before the wedding, I wouldn't spend so much on it just to make it bongga. There are some things I'm not really willing to spend much on, like my wedding dress.

BTW sisses, what are your thoughts on having your friends host the wedding? I have really great host friends but I'm not sure if I should get them to host kasi baka they won't enjoy. Although we plan to have a very short program lang naman. Ayoko kasi din gumastos for host. Kasi intimate wedding na nga, meaning closest friends and family, tapos may random person na maghohost.

[blackgreen]

^same here, wala din ako gastos sa wedding dress ko. Maybe you can ask your friend if they are willing given the pros and cons, tapos wala na lang samaan ng loob if they disagree. My sister will host my wedding. Ayaw ko na rin dumagdag ng gastos. Hahaha

[simang]

I'd personally choose a friend to host my wedding. Mas gusto ko ang atake ng someone who really knows us as a couple. Given our wedding theme and pegs, hindi kami formal at all. Yung factor na yun ang kinoconsider ko in getting a host, someone who can be goofy with our guests. Ayoko talaga ng super formal program eh. If your friend is willing to do it naman, go for it, let them. Sure, may concern na hindi nila maeenjoy ang party, but if they're willing naman it shouldn't be a problem. Nakaattend ako ng wedding before, bff nya si Thoffy of Events by Thoffy. Sya yung host nya mismo. And kahit na supposed to be eh guest lang sya, im sure nag enjoy pa din sya sa party kase kaibigan naman nila yung guests. Ang downside lang is may mga inside jokes sila na hindi na masyadong makarelate yung mga ibang guests. So masyado naman naging personal. Hehe.

Sadly, yung barkada ng kuya ko who used to host for our family -- debut ko, wedding ng sister ko, birthday ng nieces ko -- wala na sya 🙏. Sya talaga yung gusto ko mag emcee for our wedding eh.

[blackgreen]

^sorry to hear that sis.

Kami rin ayaw namin ng formal program.

[yannuh]

^older brother ko ang emcee ko and yung hs close friend ko. Bukod sa tipid na, mas personalized yung dating ng program for me kasi kilala nila talaga kami:)

Hello!
So glad to find this thread. I agree with most of the brides na nasa taas nitong post ko. I'd rather spend on the honeymoon than on the wedding.

Then originally ang gusto namin for our wedding is immediate family and close friends lang tapos ang venue yung parang malaking bahay lang. We wanted to limit our guests to 50. Perfect sana yung Rosemont Gardens sa Tagaytay pero di na available sa date namin. 😣 Then we want na something laidback lang where everyone's just chilling and we have time to talk to out guests. Ayoko din mastress sa dami ng tao.

Pero we adjusted our plans ng kaunti. Medyo nadagdagan ang guets. magiinvite kami ng konting relatives pero strictly 1-2 people lang per family. Up to 80 guests lang gusto namin kase may mga suppliers pa so around 100 na tao sa wedding namin. Nalalakihan na kami nun. Hehe.

Sa financial side naman- kung ano lang kaya ng budget namin, yun lang. Pag di kaya, alisin ganyan. We decided na dapat happy ang wedding preps at di stressful. ☺️

[smile22]

^hello sis. same din tayo. originally 50pax lang dapat kami. kaso, anlaki ng family ko. nasa 40+ relatives ko. kay hubby 20+. lahat lahat na yun both mother and father side namin. tapos yung immediate family namin and then yung mga common friends lang namin dalawa as in mga best friends namin na mga abay namin. 10 sila. so we had a total of 85 pax, kasama na kami.

its great to hear na maraming practical brides here. sabi nga nila, its not about the wedding, its about the marriage.

[astarte]

Tama mga sis ok lang na simpleng wedding lang. Kami din nung kasal, konti lang suppliers na booked and wala ng nice to haves. Pati honeymoon hindi rin naman talagang bongga pero okay lang din kasi na execute naman ng maganda at maayos. Ang talagang pinaglaanan namin ng budget yung property kung saan kami titira kasi ayaw namin na mag stay sa kahit kaninong side na parents, dapat bukod talaga heheh.

[sakura30]

Sis smile22, laki din ng family ko compared sa fiance ko. Kaya trim down talaga ko ng guest list kase ayoko namang parang family ko lang andun. Yung mga relatives namin na wala naman talagang pakielam samin, di ko ininvite. hehe. Tapos puro close friends lang talaga.

Sis astarte, kami din we considered agad kung saan kami titira kaya simultaneous tuloy ang gastos. May wedding tapos yung sa bahay naming titirhan. Pero okay din para mas wise kami magspend ng money.

At wala naman yan sa mahal o mura ng kasal. Nasa execution rin. Yung isa kong friend gusmastos ng almost 1 million sa wedding niya last December. Almost 300 ang guests. Pero grabe disaster! Ang gulo. Mainly kasalanan ng coordinator niya. Kaming mga guests hindi namin alam kung ano na yung nangyayari. Iyak ng iyak yung friend ko pagtapos ng kasal. Friend pa naman niya yung coordinator so ngayon magkagalit pa sila.

[120515]

oh no, i feel sorry for your friend  she had so many guests, that would require a really experienced coordinator to handle

for me, "quality" never equated with "expensive" that's why if we look hard enough, we'll find great suppliers at half the cost of more well-known suppliers

enjoy your wedding preps!

[smile22]

^oonga. kawawa naman sya. a bride is supposed to enjoy her wedding day.

couldnt agree more regarding 'quality not  equal to expensive'. nagugulat nalang ako sa ibang thread yung mga splurge nila sa preps nila. but anyway, kung kaya naman nila, why not. kanya kanya namang preference ng bride yan ika nga.

[Maxim04]

Sis sakura30 correct! Yung iba mahal talaga ang gastos pero madaming utang after, or ganyan na may disaster.. May isa akong kilala kinuha nila p/v yung sikat sa mga artista, pero dahil "hindi" sila sikat e junior photographers daw ang pinadala. 
Ok naman yung video pero hindi daw worth 6 digits na presyo.  pangit ang pakikisama at feeling nila, compromised. Pero since maganda naman talaga silang couple, maganda pa din pictures nila! Bawing bawi. hehe. Ang babantayan nalang raw nila e album!! hehe
