ALL ABOUT BINYAG V

[goddess_diana3584]

Hi,

sa mga mommies na nagpabinyag na, kindly share your suppliers and budget. I am planning for my daughter's binyag on March sabay sa birthday ko hindi ko pa alam kung magkano ang i prepare ko na budget.

Hi mommies,

If you're looking for a location in Makati, you can try Santuario de San Antonio. You can have your baby baptized there and they have a function hall so you won't need to leave the venue to go to the reception. Here are the details of my son's baptism

Church - Santuario de San Antonio - P3000
Reception - Santuario de San Antonio Function Hall Bay 3 - P7500 (with refundable security bond of P10,000)
Caterer - Queensland - P24,000 plus for 60 pax
Stylist - Cuteprints - P14,500
Cake and Desserts - Chef Doks - He's my brother so it was free, but his rates are reasonable in case you're interested
Photographer - BigSmile Photography - Covered by my brother-in-law
Godparents' Giveaways - Papemelroti - P1,100 plus

From my experience, all of these suppliers were easy to work with. I had no problems at all with any of them

I wrote a detailed post about this recently on my blog. Feel free to check it for pictures.

Hope someone finds this helpful! I remember having a hard time myself when I was planning my son's baptism! Good luck, mommies!

Gusto ko lang i-share kung paano kami nakatipid sa binyag ng anak ko nung Dec.14..  all in gastos is around 7-8k 

Church:  Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Pasig (No single baptism) fee: P500 with 1 pair ninong and ninang then additional ninong/ninang P50 = P1,200
Documents like Parish consent, birt cert)  = P300
Reception:  Pizza Hut (Big Group Deals for 30 persons) = P6000+ (we did not avail yung additional P2500 na party fee, dine in lang talaga kami wala ng deco-decoration pa.  Pero need pa din magpareserve and downpayment na deductable naman sa bill.  Dami pa naming naiuwi) 
Photo & Video:  nag ask lang kami sa friends and families na andun din sa event
No cake
No giveaways
Invites thru facebook

not bad diba? Sobra-sobra pa ang allotted budget namin.  Close friends and family lang din naman ang invited namin kaya siguro no need na mag effort ng bonggang-bongga, naiintindihan na nila yun and sila pa nag suggest na wag na masyadong magarbo, ilaan nalang ang pera sa bata  

Next project first birthday naman pero sa September pa naman..

hi may nakapagtry na ba sa inyo ng Old Vine resto sa Eastwood? Nakita ko kasi sa blogs pwede maghold ng reception doon although i'm not sure if it could fit more than 50pax.

[shooting_star]

thecluelessmom, wow buti you were able to book Cuteprints at that rate. I talk to her before, she told me her minimum styling fee is P30k

Gusto ko sanang theme ng binyag ng baby ko is "Traditional Filipino Binyag". hehe. Parang gusto ko ma-feel yung back to culture and tradition ng Filipino. Everything is native sana. Parang nasa probinsya lang. Puro modern na kasi ang mga parties and baptism na naaattendan ko kaya parang gusto ko na buhayin ulit ang tradisyong Pinoy.  The problem is, paano ko kaya yun ma-aachieve kung nasa Metro Manila ako? hehe Wala pa akong maisip na venue. Hahaha

[meandmyhoney]

for april 5 naman nautical theme naman event namin

choosing between Zen tower condo or Shakeys U. N branch

[rhed]

kung saan pala ang address ng mommy sa birth certificate ni baby, within that area lang din ang baptismal sa church e yung niece ko iba ang address na, ayaw na niya sa dating address niya because of family issues (ayaw kasi ng ex niya pabinyagan the kiddo)

complicated mag pabinyag

[trishevil]

^really sis? Hindi ba dapat sa kung saan ang official na residency address nila? Paano kung nag-lipat sila ng bahay di ba?

may nakita akong pinoy blogs about their filipino themed weddings.. achievable naman. yung nakita ko usually kinakasal sa UP Holy Sacrifice Church tapos yung reception may nakita ako na sa Adarna (lapit sa QC hall) or sa mga resto sa UP ginawa. Baka pwede mo din gawin sa binyag. I even saw one na pinoy breakfast ang food which is nice.

^^ you need to get a brgy clearance or certificate daw

[Micaaa]

Hello! My son's baptism is this coming March as well. Pero nabook ko na lahat ng suppliers. Can't give my ratings yet kasi di pa tapos yung party pero lalagay ko na dito yung total costing so far para sa mga mommies na nag pplan.

Venue: North Greenhills Clubhouse (!2k or 15 ata to? Not sure kasi sagot na ng isang ninong yung payment. Pero maganda yung venue and 200 pax yung capacity.)

Caterer: Passion Cooks- 690 per head minimum of 100 pax. (Mix and match menu) Sobrang nasarapan kami ng family ko during the food tasting kaya excited na ko matikman ulit food nila sa party, hehe.

Church: Santuario de San Jose- Di ko maalala magkano binayad ko kasi reservation fee palang nababayaran ko di ko pa nababayaran yung full payment pero less than 3k naman. Tapos 50 per ninang, ninong. Kelangan mo lang marriage license and birth certificate ni baby.

Photographer: For Keeps- 3.5k I've read so much good reviews about them kaya excited na ko! Jet did not ask for a downpayment rin.

Dessert buffet and cake: Simply cups n cakes- Around 10k kasama na large fondant cake with cupcakes. Di ko pa nattry desserts nila pero maganda yung styling nila when it comes to dessert buffets.

Photobooth: The faceplays photobooth. 4.5k for 2 hours. Maganda sila mag layout and maganda rin yung quality ng pictures. (Kinuha na namin sila before.)

Giveaways: Hand sanitizers- 40 each. Mabango pa kasi you can choose your own scents. I got 120 pcs tapos 5 scents inspired by Jo Malone.

Gifts for ninongs/ninangs: Personalized tumblers- 150 each.

Invitations: Sponsored by my baby's tita kaya free. Hehe.

Stylist: Little red riding hood- 18k. I got ceiling decors, entrance decors, wishing tree, letter standees. Pwede mo sabihin sakanya budget mo tapos kung ano gusto mong kasali sa package. Ms. Che is very easy to deal with. And maganda styling niya since my cousin-in-law got her for their baby's first birthday last month.


Hope this helps mga sis! Will upload pictures pag tapos na yung event. Good luck sa mga mommies na nag pplan pa.
