Of course stressed out lol jk ok lang naman. It helps a lot to have a coordinator lalo na wala ako doon. Kelan wedding mo sis?

@sis missus o, my package of DIY stuff finally reached home today - it was well within schedule and there are no hiccups

[Missus O]

^Yey!! Good for you sis 120515!!   Wish us luck. If everything goes on schedule, I'll be sending my box by the end of February or early March hehe. Malapit ka na!! Excited for you

[itsdoctin]

So far iyan pa lang lahat. ang dami ko pang kulang. may suggestion kayo sa coordinator? Thanks

 

Hi sis, May bride here too from Dubai. We booked Mavie Events, since Tagaytay based na din siya. We took her all in package na since we are both abroad and hirap magayos. Our coordinator arranged most of our suppliers. Invitations and wedding favors na lang kulang namin. Please let me know how I can help, and let's exchange ideas please. Happy preps sis!

[120515]

good luck on your box, sis missus o! just track it so you know what's happening to it, which was what i did

thanks! we're just doing the final countdown now!

[Missus O]

^Thanks 120515. One month to go ka na lang, then you are officially retired from wedding preps. Good luck sis.

Count me in mga sis! Overseas Bride from Dxb. Ours is an Intimate Tagaytay Budget Wedding, and we're a hands-on couple. One year and 1 month to go pa wedding namin, but booked na namin mga major suppliers. Na-excite kasi ako ng sobra nung na-book namin yung church. HAHA!

Now, continue lang sa ipon, then by next year na ulit scout for minor suppliers. =)

Happy Preps mga sis!

Hi sis thanks ha, pwede ko malaman ang PF niya or ang package niya? sinabi mo pa ang hirap talaga mag ayos. sa invitation ko pinagawa namin siya sa singapore since mas mura ang laser cut doon. sa wedding favors naman dito kame sa abu dhabi bumili, bath and body sis. bumili kami noong nag sale.

She has 3 packages: full coord, semi and on the day. we took her full coordination service sulit naman, kasi most of the suppliers she got for us nagrange sa budget. Send me your email sis i can pm you her rates na lang. Iniisip nga din namin na dito na bumili ng favors, pag ipapadala ba don, matataxan pa ba or mas mahal sa customs haha. alam mo naman may issue tayo sa BOC ngayon. imbey! hehe.

[rowan]

hi girls! hope you could help me out with this issue. my fiance is overseas kasi. Hati kami sa expenses. Question is, pano kayo nagssend ng money to pinas for downpayment? right now i can still pay for the downpayments but as we go along baka kailangan ko na yung share nya. do you do it via bank deposit? he's from canada pala.

thanks:)

[marge070407]

hi sis! saan siya sa canada? same situation tayo before. My hubby sent me thru LBC.

[shygirlme]

^^through bank kami sis. Before [textspeak!] umalis pareho nag open kami ng Kabayan savings sa Bdo. Don lahat pumapasok pera namin na pang gamit sa wedding.

[marge070407]

yes meron na nga kabayan sa bdo saka meron din [textspeak!] ofw savings sa bpi. walang maintaining balance

[rowan]

thanks marge070407 and shymegirl! vancouver siya:) malaki ba charges sa lbc? yeah good idea nga mag open na kami joint bank account! for proof of relationship na rin sa spousal visa application ko dun. thanks for the tip!

[Missus O]

^ Hi sis rowan, check mo if available ang xoom sa Canada.  I'm in LA. That's how we send money to the Philippines. Plus they get it rightaway. Alhough sa first transaction eh it takes about 4-5 days clearing time kasi they verify everything from the bank. We only pay about $5 per transaction. Direcho na ito sa bank account mo.  I believe the transaction rates pag bank to bank eh mas mataas.  Plus you wait for 3 days for clearing time as well.  Hope this helps.

[rowan]

thank you Missus O! Mukha meron based sa net search ko but ill ask him to confirm:)

[itsdoctin]

Same here, we opened a kabayan savings account sa BDO. ok naman and maactivate lang din yung atm when you go home but you can already start depositing the money overseas.

[ANJFinally]

^same here sis. h2b and I opened a joint account in Kabayan Savings sa BDO. We're both here abroad. Then lahat ng savings namin for the wedding, dun namin nilalagay para hindi magalaw. Mau-update mo lang sya kapag umuwi kana sa pinas at pina activate. =)

thanks:)

Mag bank depo ka nalang sis. Mag open ka ng account mo, I don't know if pwede kang mag open ng joint kahit wala si h2b since they need both ID's and signs dun sa registration form.

[pinaydiaspora]

Sis rowan both fiance and I are overseas. What we do for downpayments we ask for the suppliers bank account and dun namin pinapadala un pera. Then we kask for contract with e-signature nila since proof yun n bayad na kmi plus we also keep our remittance slip. As for extra money, pinapadala namin sa BPI bank account ko na may online access para ma monitor namin un pera. This December uuwi ako so we are planning to enroll the suppliers bank accounts (majority BPI din naman) as third party account so kapag dun na payment mag online transfer na lang kami. Expensive din kasi pag separate remittance fee eh.
