Mga bagay na pwede tipirin sa kasal

[karenmaechua]

Super Agree!  Tipid din ako sa bridal car budget kasi mas important sakin na mabigyan ng bigger budget ang photo & video (for us) and food (for our guests to be happy). hehe

[Frenchmeasles]

Kami walang Prenup. This is a personal preference naman. I don't see the point kasi parang nagpicture ka lang tapos ipopost mo sa facebook?  baka ako lang yun. Tapos ang gastos pa nun

We usually post photos naman of our travels so kung sa picture lang, marami kaming stock haha.

We will also rent our entourage gowns since di naman din nila gagamitin after and para mas makatipid. Ayoko rin kasi ng infinity gowns and I don't want to sacrifice naman din the gowns kahit pa maliit ang budget.

LED wall gusto ko tipirin kasi parang ang gandaaa haha. Pag iisipan ko pa

[kdramaholic]

^ We didn't get a led wall para makatipid instead hi-res na projector ang nirent namin Happy naman kami sa kinalabasan

I'm currently thinking about this.. Walang prenup yung package that we booked w/ our photog, although he's encouraging us to think about getting the prenup na din (+php 10k ish to upgrade). Sabi niya more than the pictures, it also allows us to establish rapport with each other para on the actual wedding day, sanay na kami sa kanya and vice versa.

H2B seems sold with the idea, but as the "budget monitor" i know that a prenup shoot would also entail location, styling, transpo fees etc.. If you add all those costs in I dont think spending 20-30k is the cost of our rapport with the photographer.

[sparklingjewel]

^Rapport? It's his job to take pics on the day with or without rapport because he's paid to do it! Lol he might be upselling you. Do it if you really want prenup pictures or additional content to show for the program.

I think it's obvious that it's his job to take pics on the day with our without rapport because he's paid to do it. That goes without saying. 

He's just saying that the upside to having a prenup photoshoot shot by him is 1) so that he gets to know how the couple prefers to be shot or directed (minimal, versus assisted, etc.) 2) the couple can give feedback based on the shots he shows them. Rapport isn't just being comfy with each other, it's also about working well together. Obviously, you'll have better chances of having photos you like if you're not complete strangers on your wedding day.

I think that Pre-nup photos aren't necessary, and it's just a perk that some people have if they are able to shoot with their photographer before the actual wedding day. And different people prioritize different things. If you hire someone like Pat Dy, obviously you're going to have great beauty shots on your wedding day because he's been shooting for a long time. But if you have a mid-range photographer and you're not familiar with their portfolio, maybe it's worth it to try a simple engagement shoot. Photos are forever and it would be sad if the couple is unhappy with their wedding pics...

Hi mga sis! share ko lang mga tipid tips namin during our wedding last feb 2018

1. prenup - yung reception garden kasi namin nakipagbargain kami na baka pwedeng isama na sa freebie nila yung prenup photoshoot sa villa nila and sa buong place. then wala kami stylists. sinuot lang namin yung mga usual naming damit
2. invitation - we do not want to spend so much on this kasi nga kalat lang naman sya after mabasa. i just did the layout, my hubby drew the map and printed it in our office paper, i just bought a cardboard sa may ust then cut it to letter size para matigas.
3. wedding shoes - i have an old pair of payless blush heels na hindi ko naman ginagamit kasi im alwaya on flats and sneakers. then bumili ako sa carolinas ng lace to design it para may wedding feels. i also painted the sole with blue nail polish mahal kasi magpacustomize ng wedding shoes so i thought, ako na lang
4. wedding gown - my wedding gown is only 15k from a local mananahi may extra tip pa dyan si ate kaya sobrang sulit and i really love my gown. pinagaya ko sa kanya yung top design ng gown ni jennifer aniston sa friends and nkuha naman nya
5. souveirs - since we?re both from batangas, bumili lang kami ng bulk coffee and kami na nagrepack
and gumawa ng label
6. suit - we bought lang sa uniqlo for the white longsleeves para pwede pa gamitin then sa local na seamstress lang din kami nagpatahi
7. wedding wands - yung tirang ribbon na ginamit ko sa invitation lang and chopsticks from the grocery
8. wedding signs - humingi lang kami ng wood sa office. yung mga scrap na nila then kami na nagsulat and nagpako
8. cocktail foods - since sobrang bait ng caterer namin. pumayag sila na kami na bahala s cocktail food and pahiramin na lang nila kami ng utensils. all foods and drinks bought at snr. sobrang tipid kesa iavail namin yung cocktail ng caterer namin na ang equivalent nya halos is just one pastry
9. host - di na kami nag hire since my husband?s cousin already is a good host. super close din sya samin so iba yung feeling na yung nageemcee ng kasal mo is kilalang kilala ka
10. bridal car - hindi na kami nagbridal car since mahal sya for a few hours use. sasakyan na lang namin
11. mobile bar - marunong magtimpla ng cocktails  yung mga barkada ng husband ko so sila assign sa bar. pinahiram kami ng caterer ng table and mga glass for the drinks
12. photobooth - hindi na rin kami kumuha nito since immediate family and closest friends ang bisita namin, hang out kwentuhan and bonding sila while eating during the cocktail hour nagplay na lang kami music

we just get all the basic package of our caterer and flowers really important lang talaga is to find a great supplier na sulit and hindi magmukhang nagtipid. we decided kasi na most of our budget should go to
photos and videos since yun talaga yung magtatagal and investment na rin sya

For us, we scrimped on flowers and invites

We opted to have DIY faux bouquet arrangements for the entourage since I'm allergic to flowers. For our invites, although we hired a graphic artist for the layout, we sent out e-invites and printing copies only for the PS and my fiance's relatives in the province.

[ohcmon]

Hehe, me naman admittedly gumastos sa prenup. I didn't want to at first, but I realized sayang naman 'yung chance to work with a great photographer (since included na sa package) kung half-baked na prenup lang gagawin namin. H2B and I are not ma-picture so we need decent photos din for display. I want something really nice to look back to years from now so sige, sulitin na ang prenup.

However I'm also scrimping on flowers. My theme is greenery so my bouquet will be about 80% dahon upon inquiry with florists mas mahal pala 'yung dahon dahon lang so hindi ko na inupgrade to imported. I don't think anyone will be able to tell the difference between local and imported leaves.

Will also not be getting a photobooth. Hindi namin type ni H2B, feeling namin pang-birthday haha. Will be getting a mobile bar and a snack bar na lang in lieu of this. May flower wall naman kami so guests can use that as a photowall. 

Bridal car din, kung hindi binigay ni caterer for free, I probably would've just asked my dad to drive me, sentimental pa.

Ayun lang. Wala akong balak mag-DIY nang anything, I'm the opposite of artistic so baka imbes makatipid mas mapamahal pa ako sa DIY haha.

[simang]

Nagiging corny lang naman yung prenup if it's too staged, IMO. We didn't spend a ton on our prenup photos (included na sa package ni Efjay Deleon back when he was starting) but we enjoyed the experience. Wala kaming stylist, no HMUA. And I don't remember posting the photos on facebook either... Hehe. Sa ngayon our photos are displayed on our wall together with some wedding photos.

Natuwa ako sa prenup photos nyo sis, ang saya Sa La Finca ka pala kinasal, we were supposed to get married there too (yun ang personal choice ko na venue) but we ended up in Baserri (choice ni husband).

Thanks sis! sobrang simple lang ng pre nup namin, halos 6 lang kami nyan. yung 2 photog, 2 friends and kami. hehe choice ko rin sana si Baserri kaso mas accesible kasi sa guest and mas madaling hanapin si La Finca 

[simang]

^true napakalayo ng Baserri haha ang instruction ko nga sa photographer namin noon, pag feeling nya nasa gubat na sya, malapit na sya sa Baserri. Haha!

Ganda rin ng La Finca pag naayusan. Dyan rin kinasal yung cousin ko.

[tomatostellar]

Eto mga balak ko tipirin:

Invites - baka mga 30 pcs lang pa-print/bigay namin out of 100-120 guests
Bridal car - isa sa entourage na close friend namin ni h2b ang naka assign
Souvenir - Photobooth na lang, yun na.
Bride's shoes - di na ko magpa customize, hanap lang ako comfy shoes na formal, pwede na yun

ang onti! hahaha pero mga mid to low range lang naman most ng suppliers namin

[cbj021]

1. prenup photoshoot - we consider this a 'nice to have', and from the current state of our wedding budget mukhang we won't have enough savings to allocate to this. The only value we see in doing this is that we learn how to be comfy in front of a camera. I guess we can just figure that out on our own without an actual professional photoshoot

2. entourage - our candle/veil/cord sponsors will double as bridesmaid/groomsmen para tipid sa entourage bouquet/boutonnieres, hmua heacount and favors

3. bridal car (since same lang yung reception and cermeony venue namin)

[jentotmd]

Got married in 2015 pa in Tagaytay and here are our tipid moves:

1) invites - diy. sponsors lang meron physical. the rest digital na sinend.
2) no prenup , no album
3) bridal car - we used our own car. sakto kasi na white naman siya
4) we had mismatched ento gowns - we sent our abays the peg tapos sila na bahala mamili or bumili basta same color and sabay sa motif, sumunod naman sila and maganda naman kinalabasan
5) shoes - sa sm lang ako bumili mahigit 1k lang
6) souvenirs for sponsors only

don't tipid:

1) flowers - weddings are flowery dapat for me. enough said
2) dress - need not be expensive. the simpler the better. pero make sure na sakto ang cut. di maganda talaga pag parang nakapatong yung gown and indi fit. ang awkward. may mga nawitness na kami na nagkaganito
3) photo vid - madami na photog ngayon unlike before na iilan lang sila and ang mamahal haha. so ngayon just pick the style you want and set your budget
4) FOOD. please no.

[iceheaven31]

Got married in 2014 Ito ang mga naging "tipid" moves namin:

1) Airfares (ofw couple): piso fares ftw! if i remember it right, some of our tickets are only MYR600-800++ for 2pax RT KULMNLKUL with baggage pa.
2) Shoes namin: wala pa yatang Php1k per pair, basta kung ano nakita naming mura na maganda, binili na namin.
3) STD: DIY (soft copy lang)
4) Invites: we only paid for the design (< Php2k), kami na nagpaprint
5) Missalette: DIY plus kami na nagpaprint
6) Church: hindi airconditioned, and hindi "super sikat" na simbahan
7) Attire: may kwento pa to (which I probably posted somewhere around here), pero excluding that, nasa mga nasa a bit more than Php 10k lang yata gown ko + wedding accessories, pati yung barong, slacks, and camisa ni hubby.
"Cheap" suppliers: Entourage flowers (GT find), wedding rings (GT find), emcee (friend namin), L&S (GT find), even reception venue and caterer (around Php80k food for 150pax, including tents, chocolate fountain, wine glass rentals, chandelier rentals).
9) Crew meals: good ol' McDo.
10) Ento / Principal Sponsors attire: kanya-kanyang bili, wapakels na kahit magkakaiba. We just sponsored i think 2 ladies who were not financially able to pay for their own.
11) Prenup: Groupon photoshoot, own clothes, DIY make-up.

~Engagement Shoot - di na ko kumuha stylist
~Dress - 15k only! buti may nagshare sa waw - luckily within my area
