Problems You Encounter Wile Planning Your Wedding Part 8

[LilaFowler]

Yung iba kasi yung idea nila ng own wedding nila pinoproject sa wedding ko. Parang dahil yun ang gusto nila for their own wedding or yun ang ginawa nila, gusto nila yun din ang gawin ko.

One of my friends, pinipilit nya DIY ko daw yung invitations ko kasi sya daw sya lang gumawa ng invite nya. Pinakita nya sa akin yung invite nya from her wedding, halata naman na homemade and mukhang art project ng grade school. I designed my own invites (watercolor and foil), maps, programs etc. pero I'm getting it professionally printed.

Anyway, basta tong friend ko na ito lahat na lang ng gusto nya pinipilit.  From wedding dress (ballgown), to invites (diy), to favours, hairstyle. Basta lahat ng elements of the wedding. Hanggang sa umabot na I don't give her details of my wedding anymore kasi ipipilit nanaman nya yung gusto nya and magtatampo if I decide to do something else.

The only people I talk to about my plans now are my FI, Mum and MOH.

^I find it funny na ikakatampo pa niya yan.. It's not like supplier siya ng ganyan then ayaw mo kunin sa kanya yung service niya. And kung iba kayo ng taste e, bakit ipilit..
Parang ganun din actually yung future brother in law ko, pinipilit niya na kunin namin yung same flower supplier nila kasi mura lang daw(he and my h2b's sister got married 6yrs ago). Then lo and behold nung tinanong ko e malayo na sobra sa sinasabi niya then hindi pa namin ganon ka-type ni h2b yung gawa nya. Plus magkalapit lang ng price dun sa pinipili namin na ibang supplier na type namin talaga ang gawa. Nung nasabi ko sa kanya yung presyo nashock nalang din siya, na kopong kopong na daw pala yung kasal nila kung ganon hehe

^ kdramaholic yes yes  lets enjoy our wedding preps! CHEERS!

^ MS_JanDel yeah medyo nagpadala ako sa mga invitations haha kaya nagbayad na kami! Mind if you can share your friend's work? kahit sa social media? Kasi I am looking for a calligraphy artist! Hehe!

Nako sis, you are not alone, kami rin ni h2b mahilig magtravel and magshopping, so whenever our friends tell us na kaya namin ang gastos kasi aside from savings eh may income naman kami every month, sinasabi namin na real time ipon ang ginagawa namin. Cos we tried saving up last year, pero in the end hindi rin kami masyado nakapagsave. Kaya TODO din this year. Hirap diba? Especially pag may mga bills! I now monitor my phone bills. I am from sales, so every incentive goes to our bank agad, may monthly top seller din kami equivalent to 5k GC, kinacareer ko rin! Haha! And recently, since mahilig ako magshopping before I raided my closet and found unused clothes, used once, and bags, naka 12k din ako kasi binenta ko ng bargain. So yeah, money is the number 1 problem, pero there's a lot of ways din pala. Hehe!

Sure sis! You can check out her IG @tinperez, she also has another one which is @coloranddoodle. Both accounts feature her calligraphy arts. Sis PM me also your email add, i'll send you pics of invitations she has made so far, sa personal FB niya kasi napost yung latest.

Sis super hirap magreal time save! As in all extra money goes directly to the bank account. Minsan kinakabahan ako kung makakaipon ba kami ng enough but I know God will provide and we will continue to save nalang. Yes money is the number 1 problem but at least we have many available  solutions to that one. We can do this sis! hehe

mindiegirl: feeling ko nga naiirita din siya sakin eh, haha! Plan ko na lang is weeks before the wedding, mag group message ako sa fb na hindi ko iinvite mga partners ng mga invited sa work. Sana makaramdam!

[peachlipstick]

^oh dear.. naku... just tell them na lang na madaming tinatahi. Baka hindi sila magawa. Give them a timeline, baka sakaling matauhan hehe. Na hanggang this day lang yung pwedi magsukat. If hindi nasukatan, hindi na sila kasama sa entourage.

Sis Missus O, naisip ko nga din iyan last week pero nakapagpasukat na din sila last Saturday.

May bago na naman ako problem sa ibang entourage na officemates ko naman. Wala daw silang mahanap na magsusukat. Ako pa tinanong kung anong gagawin nila!! Sasama na lang daw sa bulacan [textspeak!] isa para magpasukat eh wala na nga akong libreng weekend at ang dami pang inaasikaso - August na sa Monday - October ang kasal at wala pa kaming invitations!!

Well, I gave them until this Friday para magpasukat, if di nila magawa, no choice but they are off the list. Buti na lang di pa na-print ang invitations.

One of my guy friends jokingly said na sabihan ko daw ng "Okay lang, pero magiging tagapalakpak na lang kayo."

[chloe_kazm]

Top one problem ata talaga ang guests list. Medyo nagreregret ako sa pag announce na engage na ko kasi andaming nagself invite na officemates ko. While doing my list, narealize ko family and relatives whom very close din sakin, solved na ko. Buti nalang si H2B, konti lang sa side niya and common pa friends namin because we came from same company before.

Now, less kwento na ko. No posts din about wedding preps. Plan ko na lang is magpakain pag malapit na wedding namin sa office then will tell them that's our celebration haha. Sana magwork!

Gusto ko talaga selected few nalang ang invited. Yung iba naman kasi gusto lang umattend out of curiosity...and sila pa yung maside comment..

[Cheroppy]

Yung busy ka sa preparations, tapos busy ka din manuyo ng mga relatives na nagtatampo dahil hindi nakasama yung family/anak nila sa initial list ng entourage...

hays.

Ang hirap nga niyan sis! Ang dami ko din cousins and pamangkin na hindi maisasali kasi syempre I also have friends na mas gusto ko. I tried to include one nalang from every group of family.

[Cheroppy]

^yun nga sis eh! Sa family ko sobrang strict ko, sabi ko hindi lahat ng families may representative sa entourage... Pero kila h2b ewan ko bakit hindi ako makahirit ng ganun. Hehe. Relatives ni h2b yung nagtatampo.  sinama ko na lang kasi ayaw ko ng negative vibes sa wedding day namin...

[MS_JanDel]

^Ayyy mas mahirap sis. OO nga sama mo nalang baka kung ano pa marinig mo during your wedding day sis.. hahay..

[Cheroppy]

^oo sis, iniisip ko na lang sila naman sasagot ng gowns nila.  hihi

[LilaFowler]

^ di din naman maganda yung mukhang santacruzan sa dami ng entourage. Saka diba I chose these people to stand with me at my wedding, ibig sabihin they're important to me. Pag lahat na lang ng volunteer pumayag ako eh di mababawasan yung significance ng role nila.

I limited mine to 4 - one MOH and 3 bridesmaids/secondary sponsors. Gusto ng mommy ko madami para daw maganda. Pero madami means mas mahal - kasi additional flowers, additional clothes (both for groomsman and bridesmaid).

[Cheroppy]

^yun din sis ang reason ko kung bakit ayaw ko ng madami. Magmumukang prusisyon hehe
Pero oks lang naman, mommy ng isang flower girl lang naman yung nagtampo kaya sinama ko na.
Yung entourage namin mostly friends talaga kaya limited lang yung sa relatives since mas close talaga kami ng friends ko.

[BBB21]

Ang major problem talaga na I'm encountering now is yung hindi namin pagkakasundo ni h2b sa decision making. Magtatalo muna kami then tsaka lang kami magcocompromise. Stress! Haha! Kami lang ba nakakaexperience nito?

[marbleslice]

^ i think normal ang pre-wedding quarrels. Kami din ni h2b may instances din na hindi nagkakaagree but in the end, compromise lang talaga. at wag palakihin na ang issue hanggat maaari. This might help us brides to be:http://brideandbreakfast.ph/2015/11/04/avoid-pre-wedding-quarrels/

Hi girls.. just like to ask about the plus one(s) since this has been bugging me for quite a while na. kasi there are boyfriends/girlfriends of some friends na I don't want to invite to our wedding. Kaya lang they seem to expect na given na ang plus one na kasama sa guest list.. So in my mind I'm like," uhh no.. we're not even close". kayo? how did you say or how are you planning to say no ng hindi naman sila maooff? lalo na the friends na nakasama ko na partenrs nila a few times na pero hindi ko naman kasi talaga nakaclose tapos they will see pa na the other pluses eh invited..

[meixin]

^I guess just tell them na limited lang kasi yung number of guests and that you're reserving it for the ones na close talaga sa inyo. Honestly I'm guilty of this din sa wedding ng friend ko pero di ko naman siya nirequire. I mean I asked if I could bring a plus 1, pero I would've totally understood if she told me na hindi kaya. Medyo issue ko lang kasi nun when I asked her kung sino pa ang invited niya na kilala ko e apparently wala.. Kaya ako nagask na, kasi if ever mangyayari wala ako kausap the whole time.. And yes, when she let me bring a plus 1 nilakihan ko din naman yung cash gift namin.

[marbleslice]

Tincywincy We also have a limited number of guests. And may mga friends din kami na close namin yung plus 1 nila so invited sila. But... we have other friends na di namin close yung plus 1, so hindi invited yung plus 1. Vocal naman kami sa kanila na limited guests lang talaga.

Pero, we make sure naman na when we invite this specific person, may invited din from that particular circle where they're from para naman may kausap sila, considerate din kami kahit papano

I think kahit mag expect pa sila, in the end, it's still h2b's and my call sino gusto namin invite. just saying
