Wedding Reception Program

[yannuh]

Hi sissies,

I will be meeting our OTD coord next month and basically formulating the program for the reception yung magiging focus ng meeting namin kaya nag iisip na ko ng pwedeng maging flow neto. Baka naman you guys can suggest/share yung timeline ng program proper nyo, games, intermission numbers (if any) na inadd nyo sa program para i can have an idea what to discuss na din sa kanya.

Tenkie in advance. Happy preps steng lahat:)

^ naku kami rin next month na ang detailing at wala pa rin kami maisip! Although nagbigay ng program si IE, we can incorporate naman daw right?
So ours goes like..
Pagkatapos sa church, some guests mauuna na sa reception. Then cocktails and pica will be served naman.. It will start by 430pm. Andun na rin ang registration. And since tagaytay naman kami, they can have pictures with taal muna.  Photobooth will be opened by 5 pm-6pm while waiting for us. Our catering will allow us to eat first kaya busog kami during the program proper. Which is ok dba! Kasi most of the feedbacks from the couple e sila itong hindi nakakain ng handa nila! Ahahaha.. So techincally eh 430-6pm ang cocktails. Meron ding table games na provided so they wont be bored naman. May nabasa ako here nagpabingo pa sila! Hehe. So dapat din pala tayo magprepare ng prizes!! Then ipplay yung pre nup photos kaya?

Sa program, Entrance ng entourage, with dance kaunti, then newly weds, .. Next is opening prayer will be led by MOH. Tapos yung mga traditions na.. Cake cutting, first dance, Pinaprepare namin ang food by 630pm eh. Sakto na ba yun sis? While eating time e ipplay naman ang Growing up photos namin. Mag prosperity dance din kami pero after na ng dinner. Para ganado na sila maglabas ng cash kasi busog na!! Nyahahaha  habang prosperity dance e ok kaya iplay ang onsite photos naman?

Then speech from parents. Then couple..
Last will be the SDE. Or the other way around? hehe

[yannuh]

Yay same tayo sis! Although yung dinner ng couple baka di na namin maaply kasi 1 hr lang ang cocktail hour namin e. Pero parang nagugutom din ako sa idea mo sis hihi. Sasabay din namin photobooth sa cocktail hrs tas magpeplay yung strings ng music:) [textspeak!] anong games ang ipapagawa mo sa kanila and anong prizes ba sa mga ganon usually? Thank you sis!:*

[Maxim04]

Heheh papakainin daw talaga muna dapat ang couple kasi sila itong mega pagod nyahaha!
I dont want to end the program then gutom kami before midnight and we will end up hunting for fastfood outside the hotel! Worst! Hahahaha. Then the suppliers dinner time d ko pa alam san iincorporate! hehe. But the singers will eat kapag nagpapagames na.

we have few games actually. My coordz gave me few games which i can choose, and some of them ginawa namin sa bridal shower nung friend ko naman. The games will be depending on the guest pa! Kasi kung may mga kids, hindi pwde yung for "adults only"  na games namin. Nakakahinayang naman kung maomit yun kasi ang plank namin isali e mga couples na matagal ng married!! O dba! Pray lang na sana eh cooperative sila. Hehee.

Planning to buy palang prizes siguro mga 2-3 months before the wedding ☺️

this is one of the reason kaya kailanga ko mag hire ng coordinator..wala pa akong program!waaahh!

[miss_coder_04]

it's ok sis. Let your emcee create your program. kasi meron na silang template niyan. u'll just need to approve and add. by then makakaisip ka ng mga idea or customized their own programs. tip do not forget the prosperity dance. its so fun and big help..financial wise. God bless and enjoy!

[Maxim04]

this is one of the reason kaya kailanga ko mag hire ng coordinator..wala pa akong program!waaahh!

Hahaha go na sis.. Parang i cant imagine a wedding na walang coordinator. If you will assign a relative na magcoordinate, hindi nila maeenjoy yung wedding day ninyo kasi they are also busy. Its ok to involve them in the pre planning and stuffs. Pero if ok lang sa kanila, you can ask them naman what you want to be executed. Hassle lang talaga siya.

My coordinators are not the best of the best in terms of tagal and bihasa. They just started few years back.  But my wedding singers who happened to work with them sooooo many times, she told me my coordinators are awesome and hindi scripted.

Can anyone share a sample program flow/ template/ schedule? This is something we'll have to start thinking about in a few months, wala parin akong ginagawa for this. But basically we do not plan to make it a grand program, i dont like kasi weddings na parang concert yung pinuntahan ko andaming performances, ang tagal, tired na ang guests. Does anyone have a sample 2-hour program?

[lippiequeen]

Hi sis sparklingjewel booked kana ng host? Sa sister ko sa host nya kinuha yung sample nya ng flow ng program. Try ko tanungin sa kanya kung nasa emails pa nya . Tapos pm ko sayo if ever meron

[xsugar]

ah ok, pwede pala emcee mag isip nun..thanks sis miss_coder_04!

naisip ko din yan sis Maxim04, i want my sisters to enjoy my wedding too since this will be the first in our family:) all girls kasi kami and 2 of my sis married thru civil, kaya first namin to sa church..nag-prisinta sila without any idea anong gagawin nila. they just said bigyan ko sila ng list then they'll execute daw kasi naman daw noon walang coor-coor but this will be another task for me since i have to research pa dn.this is a big help kung iisipin kaya lang...do you mind sharing who's your coor?

sis lippiequeen, share it to me too pls:) thanks!

[Maxim04]

si sparklingjewel, xsugar, i have a sample program i can email it to you. whats your email add?

coordz kasi they use walkie talkie to coordinate things. lets say they will be a group of 6-7. on the day of the wedding, one or two of them will be in the church na. they will oversee the flower decorations, dating ng guest. usher ng readers, prepare sa mass, distribute misalette, mga offer, overlook sa choir, parking ng VIP, and so on.

one or two of them pwdeng mauna sa reception to assist naman yung mga delivery ng mga bagay. (balloons, set up ng photobooth, set up ng lights, etc) pwde ring may mga pinagawa ka pa for them like add tags to the chairs, additional decorations if you have stylists, some details na you added, or prepare some game stuffs for the program during the reception.

2 of them will assist the bride and groom. prepare the things, the dress, assists photo and video team, assist sa dating ng flowers, buttonieres etc, assist sa needs ng couple.

imagine if you dont have coordinator, your guests wont have anybody to ask. like directions, saan ang toilet, kanino pwde ibigay ang gift dahil aalis sila ng maaga, paano magcheck in sa hotel under a discountd rate ninyong couple, mga ganun..  you wont have "kanang kamay" to assist you.

i am not encouragaing you to get one. some weddings i knew had no coordinators and sariling sikap nalang ang mga guests. but having a coordz for me makes my day 'easier' as i entrust the flow of the day to them. i dont want my relatives/friends volunteers to be ngarag on the day. hehe.

hope this helps.  Happy preps!

Korek ka sis xsugar, kailangan meron din tayong say kahit template na yan ng emcee natin.
Wag naman madaming surprise performance kasi baka magmukhang concert.
Wag din madaming games baka magmukhang game show. Hahaha.
Kaya nga alangan pa ko sa games kasi may mga teenager kami at kids. Heheh
