^Yung mobile bar namin is provided ni caterer, ibig sabihin ba nun hindi na sila kasama sa dinner na ipprovide namin?
Thanks sis!

[exquisitegem]

^baka hindi na sis kung ganun. Iverify mo na lang din

[Tincywincy]

sis Cheroppy, all the suppliers for your reception that needs to stay till the wedding is over. HMUA, tech group including the sound system crew and projector guy (samin kasi naka hiwalay to), then yung photog&vid, yung mga attendant mo sa mobile bar, photobooth, and your coordinators. the waiters naman usually have a meal that they take before the party starts sabi ng AE.

for manila brides, you may like to consider this for suppliers meal:

I'm not in anyway related to them or anything. just want to help out sa mga fellow 2017 brides. plus the food is really good 

[Cheroppy]

Thanks so much mga sis! Super helpful!

I plan to include my supplier host sa dinner guest kasi mag-isa lang nman sya.

Ang naiisip ko na pwedeng mapagamitan ng emergency fund aside from exceeding number of guests is yung damage na pwede mangyari like aksidenteng makabasag mga guests ng baso or plates, sisingilin kasi ng caterer yun or kung nagexceed kayo sa allowed electricity consumption na gagamitin sa reception venue (nagpapabayad yung iba sa rent ng generator). Also if the party ended late and you need to book some of your relatives a place to stay for the night or if you may want to book an additional night sa hotel room nyo ni H2b, in case you know ayaw nyo pang umuwi hehe, ang madalas kasi na kasama is one free night lang.

Sis exquisitegem ako rin! Wala pa honeymoon dun! Jeez! We'll save up separately nlang sa honeymoon since December pa naman.. hahahahaha!!

Sis LilaFowler Same tayo sis 700k na. Pikitpikit nalang sis. aahahaha! Grabe!Nakakastress lang. hahaha.

sis Cheroppy yung Misc budget namin allotted for extra guests, tapos yungfoods during prep and other expenses na baka sumulpot on the day mismo.

[kaitlynmischa]

Wow ang laki pala ng misc budget nyo.. Ako 10-15k lang, ang iniisip ko kasi meals lang ng suppliers.

Sa mageexceed na guest, medyo cacareerin ko kasi ito as early as now, inaadvise ko na ang mga relatives and friends na no plus ones. RSVP to the max talaga. And I am limiting guests to 15-160 pax lang, since consummable ang hotel, may extra 10 pax akong buffer just in case.

For suppliers naman, I prepared gifts na for them so I won't have to give them a tip. Token will do.

[LilaFowler]

Magkano ba dapat tip sa suppliers?

[MS_JanDel]

^Sis depende naman sainyo sis kung how much yung gusto niyong iset aside. In our case, we wanted to set aside a big amount para sure. Provincial wedding kasi kami sis, so yung guest number is something I cannot really control.Although I will try my hardest to. hehe

^Sis LilaFowlerbalak ko small gifts lang eh. hehe.. Food from our province yung ibibigay lo

Sent the updated checklist already for those who requested.

meixin, don't be depressed.  If you think hindi ok for you yung prenup photos, you can do another prenup naman anytime if may budget pa or if wala na, do a post-nup na lang para makapag-ipon ng konti.  You can actually do the post-nup anytime if feel mo na mas confident ka na sa body and sa self mo.  Maybe you can do this on your first year anniversary; you can even get discounts sa bridal fair para sulit talaga.

LilaFowler and MS_JanDel, welcome!  Kami din, nag-exceed na budget (and this is for major suppliers pa lang and by estimate ko lang yun based sa mga nababasa ko, wala pa ko real quotations) when I was doing the budgetary estimate pero ang nabo-book pa lang talaga namin is coordinator and caterer.  In the next two weeks yung venue and hopefully the church too.  I think we need to add 200k pa sa budget *huhu!*

[kdramaholic]

Relate na relate ako sis!! Super over budget na din kami ni h2b! Sa prenup pa lang na di namin na-anticipate though di kalakihan but still, sa decor din kaka-upgrade, til now di ko na alam how much aabutin wala pa honeymoon!!! Hahaha!!!! Kalurks.

I see.. lahat pala kayo halos 50k (na again wala din sa budget) and misc fees pero kung need na 50k sige push na natin. :p Bahala na! Pero I agree kasi madami tayo di macocontrol nga like uninvited guests, mabasag, etc.

Kami we ordered extra 15 sa caterer ng crew meals (dinner) tapos iba pa yung during preps na 200 per head. Di pa din final headcount pero nagpa help kami sa OTD kung how much dapat. I also have an excel file na namana ko sa friend ko na kinasal na, medyo detailed din but I think parang mas detailed yung sa inyo. Hahaha! There were moments na tinatamad akong tignan at mag update. Huhuhu :p How I wish I am as masipag kagaya niyo.

And sis meixin wag ka ma-sad... Ako din actually mataba sa pics pero wala na din ako paki kasi ang mahalaga happy ako.. I feel happier kahit heavier ako. I used to be very skinny kasi pero now medyo malaman lalu na cheeks and arms ko. Ina-accept ko na lang and iniisip ko na may kanya kanya naman tayong ganda. But, kung kaya mo dear pwede ka maging serious sa exercise at diet mo. Though di naman yun necessary

[meixin]

^1 yr plus na akong naka diet kasi.. naglose naman pero medyo feeling ko lang di enough...

[LilaFowler]

^ maganda yung spreadsheet ni rouged.ramen. Very simple di nakakatamad gamitin. Meron kasi ako before madaming tab at calculations. Nakakatamad tuloy gamitin.

[kdramaholic]

^ Sige sis hingi na din ako kay rouged.ramen ng copy.

[kdramaholic]

^1 yr plus na akong naka diet kasi.. naglose naman pero medyo feeling ko lang di enough...

Nako sis wag mo na isipin yan.. Ang mahalaga love ka ni h2b and love mo yung self mo.

[rouged.ramen]

^^^^exquisitegem is right, iba na definition ng sexy ngayon.  Kelangan lang maayos mo mapili yung clothes na dapat sa body type mo.  I have a friend na on the heavier side and I think mas sexy siya sa akin kahit 85lbs lang ako.  Sexy din kasi siya mag-damit (tasteful and not tacky ha) and super bagay lahat sa kanya yung mga sinusuot niya and I guess isama mo pa yung self confidence niya.

Alam mo kung ano kelangan mo?  A good friend na magaling mag-shop for clothes and knows how to pick clothes based sa body type.  If no one is available, follow those plus size models sa IG or FB and observe mo yung type of clothes na sinusuot nila.  Ganyan din kasi ginagawa ko para may idea ako when shopping for clothes lalo na yung mag-mix and match.

[MS_JanDel]

^1 yr plus na akong naka diet kasi.. naglose naman pero medyo feeling ko lang di enough...

Sis at least nakapaglost ka kahit konti pa yan, achievement unlock pa din yan.
Ako nga naggive up na sa ideya ng diet. hahahaah.. tinanggap ko na sa sarili ko na mataba ako during my wedding. Don't worry too much sis, I'm sure we will be pretty sa wedding natin.

[exquisitegem]

Try nyo magjogging mga sis! It's very effective. Find time lang to exercise.
