abot na sa wedding expenses? May I ask kung ano naging problem nyo?

Sagad din kasi kame sa wedding expenses. Though happy naman kame sa resulta. Ayun lang, di talaga sya don natatapos, sa bahay palang, ang dami pa nameng mga kailangan. Though mostly puro decor nalang naman.

Pcos, diabetes and low sperm count sis. You can find me on other ttc threads baka kasi masaway ako ng mods dito. Ot kasi. Basta malaki gastos sa pagbuo and to keep my pregnancy pati na ang estimated cost of delivery kaya abot na ang wedding budget.

Hindi pa din kami nakakapag-DP kay L&J kasi ang dami ko pang questions na waiting for answer/clarification pa kay Kuya Willie. Indoor or Outdoor daw ba yung Casa de Corazon? He said 15-20mins daw yun from Caleruega kaya I wanna hear more about it sana.

Sis yung Casa de Corazon, both indoor and outdoor na.
Me mga kakilala ko na sa calaruega yung wedding nila, sa Casa yung venue.

sis girlush we decided to have the reception in Veritas hall or Gazekubo to avoid the hassle of traveling on a Friday since Friday yung wedding namin, at para mas mura din. Budgeted wedding kasi kami but our sole non negotiable is yung church which is Caleruega.

Hi, San Antonio de Padua bride to be here April 2017, I am planning to get L&J Catering and Casa de Corazon, plan ko na mag DP next week. Super attentive and grabe assistance ni Ms. Kris and Kuya Willie. Maski di pa kami nagbabayad. Si Ms. Kris nagpunta ng Church to book for us kasi walang pwede magpunta and malayo mga bahay namin and matatanda na parents. Super effort and all. Si Sir Willie walang sawa sa pagreply sa queries ko. After the Caterer and Venue, proceed na sa minor suppliers. Ang maganda lang sa L&J and Ms. Kris madami na sila contacts. So far sulit naman price nila based sa feedbacks and sa mga photos and videos na nakita ko.

For our P/V planning Im planning to get Meg and Jane, HMUA Soleil Capulong, prep house Sotto Grande villa. Nasa 20k ata a night 4 rooms. Bridal gown Im planning to get Marsha Berbon, wala pako nabubook pero matagal nako nagresearch and meron nako target for all haha.

Happy preps. By the way budget namin is gove or take 500k wala pang honeymoon and personal gastos habang nagprepare.

Mga sis how much budget niyo if the wedding is in Taal Basilica Batangas? Pati venue malapit lang dun. Yung mga nagpakasal na dun na taga-Manila, hm ginastos niyo?

[girlush]

Sis si ms.kris siya yung emcee ni Kuya Willie (kase di ba sa package A included na yung emcee).

She also have her own team for coordination. Si Kris kinuha ko na OTD coordinator.

how early did you start saving up for your wedding? parang ang naging standard from what i've observed is for planning to start once you're engaged, and the engagement period usually lasts a year. Pero naipon niyo na ba most of the money you need by then?

am curious how you gals approached your planning process.. kasi the bf and i are targeting a 2018 wedding, 2017 engagement, pero we're checking out bridal fairs na just to see how far our peso power will go. That way we can set a budget na and start saving accordingly. Ewan ko lang kung praning ako mag-budget but game naman si bf 

[exquisitegem]

^Hi sis! Let's just say we put an extra effort to save once we got engaged. But before that, of course we have our own savings since we started working naman. But we won't be getting to a point of exhausting up to the single penny that we have. hehe

[MS_JanDel]

Sis hanoie. H2b had his own savings before we got engaged. I had none. This was my problem, I was YOLO-ing too much. Hahaha! He used part of his saving to buy me an e-ring. Because of that, we are actually on real-time saving. We save at the same time we book suppliers. All extra cash every payday goes to our savings account. So it's really an effort and a total goodbye to my wants. Naisip ko kasi kung magssave kami tsaka magpplan ng wedding, baka sa iba pa magastos yung naipon namin, at least ngayon required kami magsave kasi meron na kaming mga obligation sa suppliers namin at hindi din nagtatagal samin yung money, binabayad din namin sa DP. Too much sacrifice but I know it will be worth it. 

[LilaFowler]

^ Same! H2B is a better saver than me.

Pero nagamit na din yung bulk ng savings nya kasi  just before we got engaged we bought 2 investment condos. We used his savings for the downpayment. I am paying the monthly repayments for that.

For now, he is saving for the wedding. My money goes into paying the condos and also paying deposit and miscellaneous expenses for the wedding. When it comes to paying the remainder, he will pay.

[exquisitegem]

^nice investments sis! We're planning to buy condo after wedding na lang.
I think better saver talaga sila. haha kasi in my case mas madami din syang savings! Lol

That's nice sis! At least you have condo na! Our only investment is yung stocks namin. Hahaha..

Bibili din kami condo after wedding. Ang mahal na kasi ng houses, yung mura naman nasa labas na ng MM.. Haaist

[LilaFowler]

^ Yes. Sa Vertis North kami bumili, Ayala development. Gusto kasi namin mag retire ng maaga. So ang goal is to buy one every 2 years.

Very encouraging naman si H2B sa pag iipon, sya pa gumagawa ng baon ko every afternoon para di na ako bumibili ng lunch.

[MS_JanDel]

^Dun din namin balak bumili sis pero hindi na naman kaya, namahalan kami. hehe... Tama sis! Dapat talaga goal is to retire early para maenjoy pa yung retirement. KAmi naman sa stock lang kami nagfofocus.

Sweet naman ni h2b sis! Sinabi ko nga din kay h2b na dapat ipagbaon niya ako para mas makatipid ako hahaha.. Konting tiis nalang sis, lapit na!

[LilaFowler]

^ sis, 22sqm lang. parang kahon lang ng sapatos yung unit namin, haha. Kasi yun lang ang afford namin.

Ano na ba ang average cost ng wedding sa Pilipinas? Yung original budget ko of 350k ang bilis naubos considering outside Manila and under 100 expected guests lang kami.

[exquisitegem]

^same tayo sis. Stocks yung investment. Di pa kami makabili ng condo kasi kakabili namin ng sasakyan last year. So after wedding na lang din.
Nice! Pareho tayo. Goal ko din early retirement!

Sis depende sa gusto mo na wedding dito sa Manila kasi kung nasa mid range ang suppliers or halo 500k-1M na! Grabeee!!! Though may friend ako 350k lang din nagastos niya pero halos lahat tinipid niya down to the smallest details. It's really expensive to get married nowadays. :I Mahal din ba pag province?

[exquisitegem]

True sis! nasa 500k-1M na pag dito sa Manila. Big chunk kasi will go the venue and caterer.

[MS_JanDel]

Kami din sis after wedding!Pati sasakyan. Ang usapan namin akin yung sasakyan sakanya yung bahay. hehe.. Any amount na makukuwa namin from wedding gifts sa condo and car na mapupunta. hehe

Sis LilaFowler nung nagbudget ako for Manila, 200 guests, nasa 700k. Pero ngayon, provincial wedding abot na din kami ng 700k!!! Although bulk dun ang P/V, gown and wedding rings na all in all aabot ng 300k.
