2017 Brides - Part 3

[lots-o]

Thanks lilaflower, Naguumpisa narin ako sa invites supplier nalng pero meron na kaming artwork kaya mabilis narin siya, Plano namin matapos yung invites ng Janaury end week then for overseas and entourage  ipapapdala na namin feb then march-april nalng yung rest. Balak namin April 1st week yung deadline ng RSVP namin though konti lang naman guest namin 100 lang. Sakto lang pala yung planning ko.   

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

Sis lots-o same with LilaFowler for our April 18, 2017 wedding, we plan to give out the invitations on January.  I guess 3 months would suffice, we felt na parang di masyado excited, and yet di din naman rush invite haha. 

As to how, we think enough na sa amin yung e-invite thru FB and emails, sa PS nalang yung hard copies. 

MS_JanDel true, haha kumbaga eh, after knowing what you want, and checking if the Suppliers are free pa, pera pera nalang din. 

[LilaFowler]

We are doing all paper invites also I sent save the dates 6-9 months before the wedding. Pero grabe ang tamad ng ibang guests namin. Yung iba they are coming pero di pa sila naka book, nalipasan na sila ng sale.

May skype meeting pala kami ng invite supplier ko tonight. Kasi may suggested changes sya sa aking DIY design.

[MS_JanDel]

Yes sis Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore hahaha. yung budget talaga yung reason namin para hindi kami pressured to come up with a certain amount of money kaya we took our time. hahaha

Mga sis where is the best place to buy party poppers and sparklers? Yung pinakamura? The poppers are for my wedding while the sparklers are for my cousin's. hehe. Thank you mga sis.

[rouged.ramen]

Most brides-to-be I encountered sa Dragon Fireworks sila bumibili ng sparklers.  May showroom sila sa CW Home Depot Ortigas (beside it) but you can also purchase it from their website.

[LilaFowler]

@Ms_JanDel paano mo i-transport yung sparklers if you buy them from Manila? Kasi I read you can't transport them by plane.

Gusto ko sana yung mahahabang sparklers (70cm) that will burn for up to 2 mins at least.

[MS_JanDel]

Sis rouged.ramen thank you sis! Will check their website.

Sis we'll travel it by bus kasi my bus papunta sa amin. Babayaran mo lang yung bus nasa 150 pesos hehe. Sis ganun din yung hanap ko, yung medyo mahaba. Maybe there are already resellers in Bohol sis? Since medyo usual naman na ngayon yung sparklers. 

[LilaFowler]

May kasama na passenger sa bus or isasakay lang sa bus then pick up na lang sa destination? I think may bus din to Bohol.

Hm siguro pag uwi ko mag inquire ako sa LBC or other courier companies kung pwede cargo by sea.

[MS_JanDel]

Sis LilaFowler isasakay ko lang sa bus as cargo tapos pick up nalang namin pagdating ng bus. Kinukuwa namin number ng driver para natrack if parating na sa destination terminal. 

Sis pag sa LBC ako nagpapadala, ang binabayaran ko usually sa maliit na box is Php 300-400 depende kung gano kabigat and how much yung value. 

[LilaFowler]

Thank you for the info, itatanong ko din sa coordinator ko kung ano maganda gawin.

[BBB21]

Hi b2bs! How many weeks prior to the wedding dapat ang ideal na deadline ng rsvp? 😊

[kobekitten]

I've been searching about dress code in Manila Cathedral but couldn't find an answer to my question. I know bawal backless and "daring" for entourage members, but what about the bride? Is sweetheart neckline okay? 

I don't want to call up Manila Cathedral to ask kasi baka ma-estop ako. 

[marywater]

Hey Ladies!  I need your advice/opinion.

Do you think that we'll still need an on-the-day wedding coordinator even though it's an intimate wedding?

Medyo alanganin kasi ako ngayon.

Thinking Yes I Think I Need One. I see the need 'cause every wedding element is there, from the flowers up to the P/V team, separate locations for ceremony and reception, etc. Same as any other wedding just that we're only inviting 60-70 guests (immediate family and close friends only).

Maybe Not. Simply because it's additional cost.

[lots-o]

Para sa akin sis wala sa number of guest sya kasi in the end same process padin lahat and coordinators  role is to smoothen the process and lessen the stress. We will be having 80-100 guest lang din sis pero ayoko talaga mastress that day.

[MS_JanDel]

Sis marywater for me you need one and it should be one of your non-negotiables. It will lessen if not eliminate stress and worry on your wedding day. It will give you some peace of mind that someone is actually attending to every detail of your wedding. It will also lessen the pressure on your MOH and Bridesmaids, mas maeenjoy nila yung event. It's actually one supplier we don't wanna scrimp on.. Both our Photo and video team advised us INVEST in a good coordinator.

You can attend the orientation ng Manila Cathedral for those who plan to be wed there. Sinasabi nila lahat ng rules dun

[marywater]

Thanks for the advice sis-lots-o and MS_JanDel.

I was having second thoughts about it because of the extra expenditure, but I guess it's a must kung ayaw namin mastress that day. 

[notanordinaryme]

Hi girls! Does anybody here who experienced attending an event in One Esplanade? We are eyeing One Esplanade as our reception venue on June 2017, kaso last two food tasting na naattendan namin dun (One Esplanade yung venue) bigla kame na turn off andami kasing flies sa loob ng hall. Not sure if malangaw din ba pag gabi. Or baka dahil sa construction sa tabi?

any ideas girls?

[maedonnas]

^I attended a wedding three years ago, wala naman flies. Malinis naman siya sa loob. Manonote ko lang yung amoy ng dagat when you're outside the reception  (usually photobooth andun) pero di naman ako nabother Ask mo din baka tapos na construction come your wedding day
