Entourage and guest list questions

[ENVIEMV]

Hi!

just an input
we will be having 5 bridesmaids, 3 secondary sponsors and 1 Maid of Honor. Close relatives na mga pinsan namin at ako kasi unang ikakasal sa aming magpipinsan. pero gaya nga ng sabi ng mga sis wala silang ginagawa so para naman may gagawin ang mga bridesmaids ko at dahil din madami sila, sila na din ang flower girls ko.  may kukunin lang akong isang cute little girl na magdadala ng here comes the bride sign. hope this helps.

Sis sa entourage feel ko wala namang proper kung pantay o hindi, yung mga nagmamatter sa inyo ni h2B yung mga isali regardless kung saang side galing, magiging meaningful

Thanks for the answers sis Chilli & Juwie! Tama ganun na lang. I'll allow her to sit at the VIP table but I won't get her as a PS. Tama kayo e, I should respect the legal family. Also nagFactor pa rin na alisin ko na si tito sa PS.

1 MOH, 1 bride's maid (both my sisters)
3 female secondary sponsors
3 flower girls (pamangkin namin ni h2b)
1 best man, 1 groom's man (bestfriends ni h2b)
3 male secondary sponsors
3 bearers (ring, bible, arrhae -- pamangkin namin ni h2b)

Ang totoo hindi ko din alam kung anong role ng bride's maids haha ang saken both my MOH and bride's maid will be act like my MOH.

May question ako dito, some of our PS kase are single and yung iba naman ay wala dito yung partner. Pero we reserved plus ones for them para may kasama sila. Should I include them sa VIP table lahat?

[Chili1113]

^sis, I think if hindi spouse yung plus 1 ng guest pwede sila wala sa VIP table.  As for me I haven't decided yet what to do with the guests plus ones of my siblings and  VIP friends. Hehe I plan to consult my coordinator on what is better to do.

[simang]

^thanks sis. sino lang ba dapat ang nasa VIP table? haha clueless lang. plan kase namin ay PS lang, and family. most of our entourage kase ay immediate family din namin. so naisip ko yung mga part ng entou na friends ay kasama na lang ng regular guests na friends. okay lang kaya yun?

[Chili1113]

depends sis... usually may choice ka of the ff for vip table seating:
1. Principal Sponsors
2. Entourage
3. Immediate family
4. Combination of any/all of the above

Sa 1st wedding ko I only included my family members. Ang uso naman before sa friends ko is entourage ang nasa main VIP table with bride and groom , while PS and parents stay in separate VIP round tables.

This wedding of mine, Ill include Principal sponsors (since I only have 2 pairs of principal sponsors) and entourage =) I dunno lang kung isasama ko yung mga bf nd gf na date of my bro and sis sa VIP table, and dates of the 2 bridesmaids. The rest are all married naman. Hehhe super konti ng Principal sponsors ko and I want na mahaba yung VIP table para maganda tignan sa setup na very long VIP table with lots of flowers.

[smile22]

^sis simang i had 3 VIP tables 1 for our immediate family ni hubby. 1 for PS (5 pairs. hindi kasama dito yung spouses nila) kasi puro tito tita naman sila so magkakakilala sila. and yung spouses nila nakatable with the relatives dahil puro naman namin sila relatives. 1 for secondary sponsors (3 pairs), bridesmaid and groomsman (1pair) MOH and bestman. there.

^sis simang,
In our case, we have 2 long vip tables. reserved for family, bishop, and principal sponsors and their partners. My secondary sponsors will be seating with the guests together with their families and loved ones. 40 maximum allowable vip seats, ilan sa iyo sis? May mga PS kami na singles pero so far wala silang mga plus 1s which made it easier.

[bzbee]

problem ko din to because we only have 24 seats sa VIP. with 6 pairs of PS na may plus one, then our parents and grand parents pa, hindi na talaga kasya. iniisip ko magpadagdag ng VIP table pero parang hindi na balanced kung 3 long tables. d ba?

[120515]

we won't have vip tables nor will we have a couple's table

[Chili1113]

^Ako din I didnt want any VIP tables sana heheh But then I changed my mind just for the sole purpose of having a long table the stylist can decorate hahaha Yun lang habol ko, yung styling...

[120515]

^hi chili1113, i think you're also planning for a really formal, elegant wedding so a long beautifully-styled VIP table would be perfect for it...i want a more rustic farmhouse kind of vibe...very laid-back and relaxed 

[Chili1113]

^Awwww that sounds really nice 120515!! I don't want na sana something too formal hehe and really wanted to have everyone sit at regular tables. Hehe but my weakness is really floral arrangements haha hence the long VIP table.

Hmmmm but come to think of it. Baka nga Ill change this and just have all regular tables. I just want a really lush looking setup. I really like the idea of having no VIP table also kasi.

[120515]

well, if you're thinking about it then how about you just have all regular tables then just have them all styled with lush flower arrangements...you can set up giant vases overflowing with flowers and greenery and place them strategically on the floor around the reception area...just some random thoughts

[simang]

Thanks for the replies sis Chili, smile, and belle Really appreciate it! Reviewing our guest list, parang aabutin ng 30 pax ang PS namin including their plus ones. Then immediate family namin ni h2b tig 9 kami so 18. So that's around 50 pax na agad (half of our guests na). Haha! Maybe kelangan ko muna tanungin sa caterer namin about this. Salamat salamat <3

Sis 120515, so if walang VIP tables, regular round tables lahat? We initially wanted long tables lahat, pero yung may sit down buffet lang is the VIPs. Pero lahat ng centerpieces pare parehas lang.

yes, i'll just have regular tables with 10 people per table and all table centerpieces/styling/design are the same. then we'll just sit together with our immediate families.

there's this one wedding i saw where they had long tables going around the dance floor in a square but then this does not really promote dinner conversation because you can only talk to the people beside you in this arrangement.

Point taken sis. Naisip ko din yan. Kinonsider ko lang kasi yung venue namin is poolside, and it definitely looks better with long tables.. But, you have a point. Haha. Thanks thanks

oh simang, so sorry, i wasn't critiquing your initial plan to have long tables...i was actually thinking of doing it myself but then i realized that it won't work for me because i want my guests to talk...the one that i saw was that they had people sit on only one side of the table so everybody was facing the dance floor...this is one of those cases where i'm really talking to myself almost and i forget that i'm posting on a forum

hi mga sisses pasensya na kung baka Off Topic un tanong ko, ilan months from the wedding date ba dapat mag pa sukat un mga bridesmaid, MOH, Secondary Sponsor?

Jan2016 kase kame and I was asking un mga abay kung kelan sila pede magpasukat or send their measurements to me. btw, we will be paying for their attire kase.

Ang sagot sakin ng 2 abay: too early pa daw na 9 months before the wedding ay magpapakuha na ng measurements...un sa friend daw nya na inattendan 2-3months before the wedding saka daw sila nagpasukat and nakuha naman daw on time and to think daw na dec2014 ang kasal so peak season pa..

un isa naman sabi sakin too early pa e magdidiet pa daw sya. I asked her kelan ang estimate nya ang sagot mga october or november pa daw sya pede magpasukat para na achieve na nya un desired waist nya...

to be honest sisses, gusto ko lang naman sana mas maaga magpasukat para makuha din agad un damit.. sinabi ko na din un sa kanila and sabi na bakit ba ako nagpapaka stress for their attire.

i relayed that to H2B and sabi nya na better to have their measurements taken and have their attire done ahead of time. His ate got married 2013 and inantay pa nila on the night before the wedding un damit ng 1 abay.. to think na knee length lang un at walang beadwork un. ate nya 20 months nag prepare ng wedding nya..

i need an advise.. TIA
