Had my son's baptism last Feb 2 at Twin Hearts church in philam then reception at Tramway. Here are my ratings:

Parish of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Fees: 1k for baptistry, 100 per head of ninong or ninang.

Ito agad ang naisip kong church after kong malaman na mahal sa our lady of pentecost. dun sana kami kasi choir si hubby. pero twin hearts is near restos tsaka very efficient na sa binyagan. air conditioned pa.

Tramway Garden buffet Timog branch
Fees : 215 / head plus 58 per head for bottomless drinks, 1500 for sound system, 3800 for center venue rental.

Right after namin mareserve ang church, a week after dito kami naglunch to make sure na ok ang taste. Di kasi mahilig si hubby sa chinese food pero nung malaman nya ang presyo, naconvince ko naman sya. Hindi ka na madidisappoint sa lasa, busog talaga ang guests.

5750 for one layer of cake and 100 pcs of cupcakes with additional gumpaste and candy top.

This is one supplier that I was so happy to get, moist ang cake and yummy, hindi nakakasawa ang tamis! I just gave her an image from the internet for the one layer cake, di kasi namin type ang super heroes na usual na pinagagawa sa kanya. Pati yung candy and gumpaste topper, copy na copy nya.

2550 for 10 centerpieces, 2 pillars, tsaka yung nasa ceiling
Ok din sila, sa fb ko lang sya kausap, delivered as well!

lapit na binyag ng baby gurl ko... i already sent the save the date ecard to her godparents and some guests. formal invitation to follow. di ko pa kasi nafinalize yung guest list ko. i want to keep it at 60 pax lang cuz the venue for reception is small.

btw, sa ctk pala you bring the candles for the sponsors. gusto ko sana mag-DIY pero baka wala na akong time. can anyone recommend a supplier for candles with design?

with regards to the food, i'm about to finalize pa lang my caterer. sana ok yung mapili ko.

Parang ok to, sis. Super mura! I'll inquire nga for my daughter's baptism. Yung supplier i got before, 6.5k na package ngayon, promo pa yun and 50 pcs lang yung cipcake. Thank you for sharing!

[daveigh]

^ you are welcome sis! i got her naman from smart parenting forum.

[funky f]

I see! Nag-inquire na ko. Masarap ba cupcakes nya, sis? Yung dati ko supplier, super ganda but not so yummy.
On a different note, we're considering Racks El Pueblo for the reception. Malamang kasi sa Mary the Queen kami uli coz it's really nice there.

[daveigh]

^ Well ang panglasa kasi is subjective pero for me, it was moist and yummy.

[funky f]

Thanks, sis. I'm just waiting for their reply. May pa naman plan namin na binyag.

Hello! I'd like to share lang my daughter's dedication last Saturday.

Venue: Ysabel's Garden in BF Resort Las Pinas.  Originally dapat small function lang kaya my first choice was Cafe Mary Grace in SM Southmall.  Kaso kahit anong gawin namin ni hubby to limit number of pax to 30 di kaya kaya we looked for a different venue and ended up with Ysabel's.  Good thing na din cause the venue is near home lang and may name recall.  Ysabel din kasi name ng anak ko, so parang "san nga dedication ninysabel? sa ysabel's" haha. kulit lang.

Food: Queensland cause queensland owns ysabel's garden. we got the standard menu lang at 300/head.  4viands, 1 pasta, salad, and drinks.  So far, ok naman ang feedback sa food from my guests. 

Cake: We got cakes from Conti's.  2 Viennese Mocha Torte, at 995 each and 4 choco walnut torte at 625 each. 

Treats and Giveaways:  For her ninongs and ninangs, homemade polvoron in cute brown boxes, for all other guests marshmallows and choco chip cookies naman. 

Inivitation: i did it myself in photoshop with the help of my hubby.  send it to my guests as e-cards

Baby's dress: She had 3 dresses.  yung dress she wore during the ceremony was a gift from my mom, yung other two i got from peppermint.

Ballons: i gotpink helium balloons from lola didz catering in Zapote.  I printed pictures of my kid attached it to the balloon strings for balloon chandelier.  gotnthe idea from weddingchicks.com

all in all 40k yung expense, cost effective na i guess, and happy naman ang aming little sweetheart ysabel.

Sis, ano nasa standard menu ng queensland? May minimum number of pax ba sila?

[m_lim]

pwede ba magpabinyag sa church ni Father Pio sa eastwood banda?

[ysabelsmom]

Sis, ano nasa standard menu ng queensland? May minimum number of pax ba sila?

standard menu: 300-370/ head depending on the function rom or garden you'll choose as venue in Ysabel's. packaged kasi yung food and venue.  standard menu includes, rice, choice of pasta or noodles, chiice of beef, choice of chicken, choice of pork choice of fish, (madami naman pagpipilian) then choice of salad or pastries, and drinks.

yung kinuha namin included baked mac na binalikbalikan ng guests ko, roast beef w gravy, roast pork asado, fish fillet in tar sauce (cooked on the spot) buco pandan, and iced tea for drinks.  you can upgrade pala yung pork to lechon, add 40 per head yata.

we only reserved for 80 pax, i guess there minimum number of pax is 30.

different rate yata pag catering lang yung kukunin na service.

here sis yung contact nila 5192611. i wasassisted by mylene
