For the female ento naman, we gave VS kikay pouches in black and white stripes (pasok sa theme) that I found on Ebay.

We got rifle umbrellas for the PS (para pasok pa rin sa theme), also from Below SRP:

During the ceremony, we gave out black round foldable fans from Divi at P5 each.

At the reception, we also got prizes from Below SRP.

For the main favors, we gave out Fortune Plants from Jeff's Garden and Landscaping in Sulit at P40 each for 150 pcs.

Transacted with Jazzel and they're super nice! Since the wedding was in Tags, sobrang big help that they had a branch in Sta. Rosa. The plants were in glass na and sila na rin naglagay ng ribbons, unlike dun sa unang pinagtanongan namin at Manila Seedling na plastic pot lang ang kasama.

For the suppliers, we got big black eco bags and filled them with mints, munchies, sandwiches, and chocolate. We gave them fortune plants also.

^ Sis, ask ko lang kung deliver snyo yung lucky bamboos or kayo nagpick up sa kanila? I've seen lucky bamboos on some wedsites na din kaso hindi ko lang alam san makakabili sa Pinas. hehe THanks for sharing this!

[leynathan]

sis nutata, san banda yung 5 pesos na fans sa divi? o halos lahat ng foldable fans dun 5 pesos lang? pina customize nyo pa ba?

[eternalpink]

Sis Chuchubels, nagreply na din sa'kin si Made in Candy pero hindi ko pa nabigay yung details kaya wala pang price, ang bilis mo hehe. I guess, kung nakareply ako ganyan din iq-quote saken. Medyo pricey din kase kukulangin yan sa guest namen so magdadagdag pa kame.

Sis nutata, nice idea nung USBs. will take note of this & show to H2B.

[yhangisla]

Mga sis, alam nio po ba kung saan makakabili ng murang lanterns? yung white garden lanterns po? yun kasi ang naiisip kong giveaways. kasi ang theme ng wedding namin.. 'lights. camera.. I Do!' hehe I am also looking for camera stuff giveaways. yung parang mga keychain. kaso ang budget ko lang each giveaway is 100. thanks in advance sa sasagot!

[earthangelivy]

Sis yhangisla, yung white na garden lanterns meron sa 168 Mall, yung store pagka baba ng escalators kasi di ko ma recall yung specific floor eh. Cheapest I found dun is php 150.00 yun yung smallest. Dalawa yung makikita mong nag titinda na store sa 168 Mall ng ganun pero same owner lang sila. Yung sa keychains naman I am guessing meron din siguro malanag sa Divi not sure where lang.

[nutata]

@chillyne
We picked them up in Sta. Rosa kasi on the way naman to Tagaytay, just along the main road. Alam ko they do meet-ups, pick-ups, and they also deliver. Ask Jazzel na lang

@leynathan
We got them at 168, ikot ikot lang. Normal price per piece is P10. We got 150 pcs. Tanong tanong lang kami from different stalls, and most quoted us P7. Nung may nagsabi ng P5, game na agad

@yhangisla
You mean yung parang ginagamit as centerpieces sa reception? earthangelivy's right. Saw a lot of those in Divi too, meron din sa mall na katabi ng 168, around P120-180 each sila, 5th floor. The keychains I saw din mga camera ones, ikot ikot lang in Divi din

[yhangisla]

sis nutata and sis earthangelivy, actually nagugugluhan parin ako. para kasing ayaw ko magbigay ng 'dust gatherer' na giveaway. tas yung iba nabasa ko pa, photobooth lang ang giveaways nila. huhu. Pero thank you sa mga sagot ninyo! punta din ako divi soon. Meron din po ba kayong alam na masarap gumawa ng red velvet cake? thanks again

[nutata]

^Hahaha! I felt the same way too so we opted for more useful things kung gagastos na lang din naman. Naisip ko my mom kasi and mga oldies na kilala ko adik sa payong so we gave the PS umbrellas na based sa theme. Tapos USBs nga for the boys (kasi techies naman lahat) and the suppliers (kasi for sure magagamit nila).

The plants were last minute, but it made sense that with all their well wishes and blessings may mabalik kami (lol, superstitious din kasi ako). Here's what the thank you note said:

I'm sure you'll find one that will suit your preferences, like the others, they gave something edible, or donated to charity in the guests' names

HTH!

[earthangelivy]

Sis nutata, the message of your note is really nice. For me naman I really want something environmental and promotes good health. So for the guests I had canvas bags made for them with our monogram printed on it. For the PS naman, I initially wanted to give them watch storage boxes, but I think it was you who said nga din that it looked empty? So I decided to order either of Everyday Mom's Healthy cakes. For the entou's naman, my cousin ordered these cake type soaps from Back2Basics Pilipinas for her sister's bridal shower before. Am thinking of getting those for the entous. Kasi they look like real cakes! But they are actually soap. Ang ganda! Sa boys wala pa.

[yhangisla]

Sis nutata, kakatapos lang namin magusap ng sister ko. I've been thinking about this na din kasi for a long time. haha! since hilig namin ni h2b ang kumain, we decided to give edible favors. haha. My sister is in the US and she sent me the link for personalized m&ms! I went crazy! hahaha! super cute! Since h2b and I loves M&Ms we are going to opt in that nalang then lagay namin sa bottles. May nakita na rin kasi ako divi na mura lang naman yung bottles. then print nalang kami ng thank you card. But definitely, I can't compete with yours! Our wedding kasi would be a mix of shabby chic/rustic vintage eh. I want it colorful but relaxing. Now, my only problem is anong ibibgay ko for the ninongs and ninangs :\ huhu. I am also having problems with my gifts for my bridesmaids. I am thinking of giving them something they can wear sa wedding. maybe a bracelet or a necklace. Baka you ladies know where I can buy turquoise stones (yung hindi naman orig. mahal eh ) and bare necklaces para I'll make it nalang. DIY nalang para mas mura

[earthangelivy]

Wow yhangisla, am inggit! I initially wanted yung personalized M&Ms but super mahal. Have you seen how much it is? Like thousands and thousands!

[yhangisla]

sis earthangelivy bali sis ang gagawin namin hindi nalang kami maglagay ng sweets buffet. bali yung desserts nalang ng caterer for that h2b got really excited nung nakita nya kasi, kaya okay na sakin. mostly kasi ako ang nasusunod sa wedding plans. ahahahhaa. pagbibigyan ko na

[earthangelivy]

Oo nga naman, sis yhangisla. Ako din if H2B wants something sa wedding since normally ako nag dedecide pinag bibigyan ko narin. Share pics of your M&M give aways!

[yhangisla]

sureness sis earthangelivy! nakakatawa nga kasi sabi ko wag nang palagyan ng picture, names nalang sana. kasi may additional pang $20 kapag may picture. eh ayaw pumayag ni h2b. hahaha

[Leighboy]

For general giveaways, we gave guests  2 macarons packed on round acetate plastics. For godfathers, we gave them 2 parker ballpens each. For godmothers, toni and berne pouch bag. For entourage ladies, victoria secret perfumes while the men got bath and body lotions. For the games, starbucks gc and the spa gcs

[j.adore]

I'm thinking of buying paper boxes and put edibles inside pero di ko pa maisip kung gawin na "place cards" or "escort cards" to put each guest's name there

For sponsors, wala pa maisip

[iamivyTABA]

Mga sis, ang naisip ko ibigay sa guests namin is round foldable fan. sa PS naman ay umbrellas. Bukod pa sa wine for  male PS at box of pastries sa female PS. Sa entourage naman, since close friends naman namin sila, ok lang ba na hindi na namin sila bigyan? maintindihan naman siguro nila na budget wedding kami. Tee hee!  Pero kasi sila may sagot ng suot nila, kaya iniisip ko, baka dapat ko sila bigyan talaga? 

Hindi ba mukhang company giveaway ang round foldable fan at payong na giveaway? LOL.
