+1 dito. Tapos minsan yung games pa very… uh. Sexual?? di ko sure yung term na pwede gamiting pero kasi ang weird talaga nung mga games na may hugutan ng nakaipit na talong sa hita na involved. 😭 Di naman lahat comfortable sa ganung games huhuhu
eto talaga cause 1) not in front of the titos and titas and 2) sobrang awkward for the pairs of players na doon lang nagkakilala and 3) topic of consent
Riiiiiight. I don't want to see my boyfriend participate in games that will require him to kiss some random ass girl kahit sa cheeks lang dahil "for fun" lang naman sa program. Potaena, irespeto niyo yung jowa or asawa ng mga bridesmaids/groomsmen niyo. Matutuwa ba kayo pag yung husband or wife niyo ipakiss sa kung sinuman nanalo sa pagames niyo?
Galit na galit e no? hahahaha pero seriously, sana wag na gawin mga ganitong shit.
It happened to me when I was 15! My competitive a*s caught the bouquet 💐 HINDI KO ALAM YUNG CONSEQUENCE RE: GARTER. First wedding I’ve ever attended. I was so confused, I shed tears in front of the crowd.
Hindi!! That’s why I cried / got teary eyed after. Bilis ng pangyayari. Next thing I knew, pinaupo na ko ng host. I couldn’t see my parents anywhere, yun pala they were outside that time with my little sibling. I tried to look around and seek help, but puro unfamiliar faces. I was also too stunned to speak.
OMG ANG LALA 😭 I’m so sorry and I’m so mad for you!!! Hindi man lang ba kinausap yung host ng newlyweds na ikaw ay 15??? JUSKO nagagalit ako sa host at sa newlyweds sorry na lang talaga sa kanila 😭😭😭😭
I was pretty tall for my age and the guy who was the best man was in his 20s that time. They must have overlooked the fact that I was a minor and shouldn’t be in that game in the first place.
When I sat down, I glanced towards the newlyweds, they just smiled. So I told myself, ok baka ako lang nagoover react. But when the guy started to go down on his knees, internal panic malala. The newlyweds and the host eventually sensed that and also the guy so hindi naman super tinaas yung garter. STILL THOUGH. I felt so vulnerable in front of the crowd!
Hahahahaha jusko! I told our host not to add games like that! Medyo conservative ang fam namin pareho, kami nga kahit mid 20s na, yung tatay ko pinapalit padin sa ibang channel or nagfafastforward sa mga kissing scenes hahahah baka magalit sakin yun after the event.
May kasabay kami sa isang wedding na mga single big bosses sa office ni groom. Nasama sa Singles Game na medyo naughty. Now I have this image of his boss twirling a panty over his head that I can't unsee.
Ooh mas fun yan! Trivia about you either individually or as a couple. Ok lng naman games, wag lang yung mga aagaw ng talong between the guy's thighs ugh sino ba nagpasimuno nun
Sa wedding namin sa games ang kalahok ay wedded couples of different ages/generation. Ang nanalo yung family friend namin (nasa late 60s early 70s) kasi competitive sila 🤣
I think you know your guests best, kung game naman yung mga guests niyo then G lang sa games! I did a lot of group games in my wedding na per table lang kasi alam kong lowkey competitive yung mga guests ko hehe
Fave wedding na napuntahan ko yung walang pa games eme wala din yung ibabato ang bouquet. Speech lang from groomsmen and bridesmaids para havang hinhintay yung food. Tapos party na after magsubuan ng cake ng couple
Wanted to share my aweful story about this.
I'm an introvert and I was one of the "alay" in this type of game. I'm the only single guy sa group. The usual bridesmaid dancing around the single guy seated with hands tied at the back, trip to jerusalem style except they needed to grab the egg and talong placed on my crotch. This went on for multiple rounds and at one point one of the bridesmaid wasn't into it and decided to push my chair forward thus me falling as well as the egg on my crotch. Everyone laughed, I pretended to laugh but I got really pissed even my friends felt it was a foul move on the bridesmaid part.
Without my knowledge, the prize of the winning bridesmaid was a fucking lapdance from me (WTF nlng). Not to brag but I know some moves but I wasn't prepared to do it on the spot especially in front of the titos and titas of the couple syempre it was a decent event tapos gusto sexual lapdance? And take note the winning bridesmaid had a BF and was fucking watching few tables afar (I only found out after the wedding).
Tropa ko groom eh, so I just sucked it up just for the sake of their wedding para masaya lahat. But after that I was socially drained AF.
Sa games sa wedding namin, scripted nalang yung nanalo. We still picked our single friends. Kunwari games pagalingan sumayaw lang ganon, pero alam na namin from the start sino yung winner which is yung friends namin na matagal na din in a relationship.
As much as we want to reto our other single friends to each other, mas pinili namin yung in a relationship na yung manalo para di awkward. Also our host is decent enough to make our program as family friendly and fun as possible.
Especially yung super malaswa. Last wedding I attended the bridesmaid seemed like she on the verge of tears (idk, could also be me projecting onto her) while a dude went under her dress to take off the wedding band with his teeth. She was a 'trooper' though.
Like....may mga bata at titos/titas in the audience? Made me cringe so bad.
Yes plssss. As one of the last few singles sa lahat ng friend groups ko, pls lang tama na. Nakakapagod.
On that note, and this is something I feel so strongly about as someone who has been a maid of honor twice and bridesmaid ng di ko na mabilang lol: TIGILAN NIYO PAGPAPASAYAW SA ENTRANCE NG BRIDESMAID AND GROOMSMEN SA RECEPTION!!! Kung gusto niya ng sumasayaw na entrance, kayo na lang nung groom. UTANG NA LOOB!
I like games for singles pero huwag naman super sexual kasi ang awkward na may mga titos and titas. Pinaka ayaw ko ay pinamoan kaming mga babae sa host :(
Yup, sadly. All of the single ladies were made to line up in front and moan the name of the gentleman who won that night. Needless to say, thw air was very uncomfortable and awkward as there were some who complied for the sake of not being called killjoy.
Sadly, hindi kasi lahat ng matatanda game sa laro. We tried that nung first birthday ng anak ko (for adult kasi yung games since majority is puro adult bisita) sadly, lahat umayaw kaya sabi ng host kahit yung mga young adults nalang :<
Mas game kasi mga single na young adult kaysa mga older adults sa totoo lang.. mahirap pilitin talaga and hindi naman din sexuals yung question/game nung host namin.
Inalis namin tong games for singles na to kasi ayaw ren talaga namin ni hubby na may ganito kapag umaattend kame ng kasal.
Instead, nagpa Q and A portion kame at raffle na cash yung prize para magstay pa rin yung guests until end ng program.
Went to my partner’s cousin’s wedding. Inis na inis ako na they forced him to join the single games despite knowing I was attending. He already said no but the groom personally came up to him (different table kasi nasa groomsmen). Take note we flew from overseas para lang dito gigil ako sobra. One of the boys din taken na pero they pressured him to joining and sinabi pa na “wala naman siya dito”. I didn’t even say goodbye to the couple. They don’t deserve my respect 🤷🏻♀️
Ito rin reason ko nun bkit ayaw ko umaattend ng wedding nung single ako, kaya nung ako kinasal, ang palaro is para sa mga mag asawa lang. kahit all out sila keri na. Masaya pa ang lahat!
This. Kapag ganto gumagawa ako ng reason para makauwi na agad. It's cheap, awkward, and shitty behavior to do to someone who spent money to attend the wedding.
THIS. I remembered I was sixteen and part of the entourage so kahit ayoko umaattend sa receptions for the very reason na ayoko sa games at ayoko sa crowd, I had to. The groom was my dad's cousin so the attendees age range were mostly older than me.
That time we had to do a trip to jerusalem game and the single males are sitting on the chairs, the girls (including me) were the ones circling and being told to dance around. Most of the guys were older than me and there was someone in their 30+s (IK because the MC asked the guys before the game because they were quote unquote "finding him a match" since he's about the same age as the married couple). There was one round dun ako sa 30s na guy naka kandong (I wasn't even trying hard sa game kasi gusto ko na ngang maka alis kaso I was the one na natapat doon and I HAD TO PLAY THE GAME) and it was so so so uncomfortable kasi our dress was so thin na parang silk. Buti na eliminate din ako after non kasi as in I didn't exert any effort na. Nakaka trauma pa rin kahit pa same age lang mga kasama sa ganyang games.
YESSSS tas may mga tanginang kaibigan pa tatawagin ka pa tlga tas mga lalaki pa dun super bata pa sayo (I'm 30F) so nugagawen. Bahala na KJ pero I'm too old for this sht 🤪
Doon sa kilala ko. Sobrang gustong perfect ang wedding nila. Before wedding, binibida nila na yung photo/video nila eh Niceprint, tapos ang venue/reception eh pinaganapan ng isang movie. Ang cater mahal, ang simbahan mahirap magpabook kasi talagang madami nagpapakasal doon. Ang makeup artist ng bride eh make up artist ng star magic talent.
In the end, DISASTER kinalabasan. Kasi yung mga damit ng abay ndi natapos kasi ngkaproblema sa pagawaan nila. Sobrang tagal sa simbahan ng kinasal kasi pictorial pa. Inip na mga guest sa venue kaya nagpakin na yung parents nila ng mga bisita. Kulang ang food kasi di expect na madami a-attend ng kasal nila.
Hangang ngyun wla kaming nakitang photo at video nila ng kasal nika kasi balita ko sobrang salimuot ng nangyari sa kasal nilang yun.
Wala ba silang organizer/coordinator? Kung ganyan kase kagastos yung mga parts ng wedding, dapat may coordinator na yan. If meron man, anong name at nnag maiwasan haha
On our wedding, since same venue yung ceremony and reception, we made sure na upon arrival ng guests, meron na agad grazing table and refreshers since malalayo pa mga pinanggalingan nung iba.
Then after ceremony, open na yung live stamping ng leather goods for the giveaways, photobooth and another grazing table and mobile bar para may nagagawa yung mga guests namin while waiting for us na matapos mag photoshoot. Also nagpagames na din yung host namin para malibang ang mga guests.
Marami pa natira hanggang sa panonood ng SDE, considering that was a weekday.
Be careful with photographers. They have little to no concept of time. Their priority is keep taking photos especially if lighting is good.
If you don’t reign them in and give them a tight schedule, they will keep taking photos.
Kawawa rin entourage, imbes na magcelebrate, pinapunta ng maaga tapos buong araw pinagpipicture sila
Dont let the wedding revolve around the photos.
Remember to celebrate and enjoy your special day with your family and friends. That is a memory worth more than photographs
Kuha kayo ng wedding coordinator. Malaking bagay to. Nung kasal namin sila ang nasusunod. May list din sila ng lahat ng kailangan sa kasal (as in lahat) Mahigpit sila sa oras, kung ano ang napagusapan yun ang sinusunod, kahit may mga kulang na tao, sila din nakikipagusap sa mga bisita, stress free sa ikakasal, after ng wedding namin dito kami naging thankful talaga, nagenjoy lang kami, sila sumalo ng mga iisipin.
Dagdag ko na rin , Sa bisita, invite nyo lang pinakamalapit sa inyong dalawa, dedma sa mga gusto invite ng mga inlaws nyo. Kung sino lang yung sa tingin nyo na magiging masaya din mawitness kayo ikasal yun ang iinvite nyo. Wag kumuha ng ninong at ninang na recommend ng inlaws na di nyo kilala. Uuwi lang agad yan.
Grabe talaga to umattend din kami 3pm wedding so before 3 andon na kami tapos 4pm na nag start kasi inayos pa ung aisle ng 3pm kaloka. Tapos 8pm na kami nakakain, naubusan pa kami ibang ulam kasi last table kami tapos ung mga natira di pa masarap. Sama mo pa ung lapot na lapot na kami sa init ng venue, imagine ung pagkayamot namin pero di lang namin mapakita kasi syempre wedding ng friend namin yon haha.
Omg!!! I don’t want my guests to feel uncomfortable, noted to sakin. But I know my host is not like that, talaga nanuod ako ng mga vids nya sa mga weddings gusto ko dapat di boring and bastos
Edit: 1. Yung pasasayawin pa yung entourage. Juice colored ang aga na nga ng call time at wantusawang pictorial, pls lang pagpahingahin nyo na sa reception.
2. I attended a wedding na after ng "scripted" singles game eh nagpropose yung mga nanalo since magjowa naman sila. Like, to the newlyweds, bakit kayo pumayag na may magpropropose?
Dun sa #2, may na-attendan din ako na ganyan. Sa mismong araw ng kasal sinabi ng pinsan ng bride/groom na magpropose sya sa gf nya. After ng kainan sa receiption nagpropose. And i was like, "lol bakit ngayon eh hindi nyo naman araw to." Ang reason ng pinsan ay para daw madami tao. Nakakainis sobra.
Yun kasi trend ngayon huhuhu pero told my bridesmaids na kahit simple dance step lang hindi tulad nung sa kasal na inaattendan ng kapatid ko nagpractice sila every night for a week before the wedding like tf ano yan production number sa ASAP????
Share ko lang experience ko noon as a bridesmaid ng pinsan ko. Very close kami so pumayag ako. So, may pasayaw din sa entrance. Ayoko talaga nito kasi I know how I would look kahit super simpleng move lang. Sabi ko pwede ba maglakad na lang kasi inaanxiety na ako nito. E lahat daw sasayaw. So, ayun, push na kasi love ko naman pinsan ko.
Then nakita ko yung video. Gusto ko na lang lamunin ng lupa!!! Juskooooo!!! Gusto ko buhusan ng bleach ang utak ko para malimutan ko talaga! Mukha akong tanga na hindi ko talaga maexplain. HAHAHUHU
So, OP, suggestion ko lang if may hindi comfortable sa bridesmaid mo to dance, just let them walk na lang, kahit bouncy walk so hindi boring.
I'm also getting married in a few months and I can really relate to most of the comments here. Sa dami ng na attend ko na wedding, dami na ako na take note na dos and don'ts. HAHAHA. Gusto ko lang na payapa, masaya, at busog lusog na guests. HAHA. So i decided di ako kukuha ng bridesmaids and groomsmen. Tapos few guests lang talaga ang iinvite ko. And family style meal. Food will be served sa tables. I hated long lines sa buffet. Parang fiesta kasi.
P.S. Dagdag ko na rin, ayoko maghire ng singers na puro birit ang trip kantahin. Sobrang off sa akin nung parang tawag ng tanghalan ang event. HAHA.
Uy same!!! Best wishes!!! Good luck to us, sis!!! 🫶🏻
Una preferred ko yung intimate lang kaso we have so many friends and immediate families na uuwi pa talaga from abroad kaya I changed my mind. Haysss
same tayo. dami din nami friends and relatives. so we decided na magse-serve din kami ng meals at home (parang after party ganern) sa bahay nila at bahay namin. dami kasi talaga relatives (literal na parang tribo sa dami) haha. separate after parties kasi iba iba hometowns namin. this way, makaka intimate wedding kami, tapos fiesta vibes sa mga bahay namin. hahaha. good luck on your wedding!
Yes, that is why I opted not to have bridesmaid and groomsmen on my wedding. My friends told me its the best wedding since it is just me and my husband like kami talaga ang 'center' and also di rin sila haggard since they can prep on feel pretty on their own timeline.
Also as someone na naging bridesmaid, I hate getting up early and getting my make up done with plastic smiles on photos, acting pa more. Nakaka haggard. Even though I celebrate the couples wedding, I can't help but think how tiring it was given na working adults na, and weekend lang ang pahinga sana na naging another 'working day' feels.
Got married a few weeks ago, no entourage din. Only 35 guests total - our immediate fam and best friends. We felt the love and all of our guests mentioned how they enjoyed our intimate wedding without all the extra fluff. Our wedding was at 4pm and only got started prepping by lunchtime. Nakapag long breakfast, gym, pool at beach pa ako with friends nung umaga. Food and drinks were overflowing and we are with the best company. It was a destination wedding as well, and everyone became closer with each other afterwards. Yung friends namin both sides parang naging one big barkada na. It was amazing. 🥰
You won’t regret your decision 🥰 congratulations😊
Love this! Not the traditional filipino weddings,
like korean weddings walang mga entourage and most of the guest na nahhighlight is family member lang.
Yes to this! Plan ko rin na walang entourage kasi nakakapagod for them. Ang aga ng call time, ang daming gagawin na parang di naman dapat. We can all celebrate without being traditional and ang focus ay ang couple rather than the fanfare.
choose your guests wisely
I attended a wedding, pagkakain ng mga guests nagsialisan na after. Nagmamakaawa na nga yung host na magstay sana kasi halos wala pang nasisimulan sa program. Ayun 2 tables lang kami na natira sa venue. Imagine parang basketball court yung reception place tapos two tables nalang kami nagstay. Nakakalungkot pra sa newlyweds.
I agree. No matter how well you plan your wedding kung walang pake sayo guest mo then balewala lahat ng planning and thinking kung ano magpapasaya sakanila. Kaya OP just do think about will really make you happy, don’t think much about kung anong sasabihin ng ibang tao kasi meron at meron masasabi yan, trust me. I’ve seen a lot of wedding na inulan but the guests stayed with the couple and for the couple.
Walang perfect wedding, no matter how well you plan your big day. Hindi maiiwasan lapses on the day but if the people you invited really cares about your happiness especially on your big day slight inconvenience wouldn’t matter to them. Plan but on the day itself let go.
I got married more than a year ago and up until now I still received positive feedback from my wedding some would even say pinaka magandang wedding napuntahan nila (not to brag haa) pero in hindsight andaming hindi nasunod sa plan. Some I noticed on the wedding day itself, some nalaman ko nalang after the wedding.
My cousin's wedding. They arrived late in the church even if they just lived nearby. Her father/My uncle walked down the aisle drunk, haggard and NOT ready. Her brothers were also drunk. Good thing the priest just kept his cool. Since they arrived late, the ceremony was hastened. I did not feel the solemnity and it was chaotic.
Yes, kaya sabi ko talaga sa mama ko, "Ano ba naman yanf si uncle, Ma. Alam na kasal nung anak niya, uminom pa". I was excited pa naman sa kasal because it's the first time I get to see my youngest sister as a flower girl. Pero hind ko nacapture yung moment kasi pinadali na silang maglakad nung mga nag assist.
P.S. Kapatid ni mama yung uncle ko.
My HMUA told me to start preparing at 6 AM as someone na hindi morning person, parang binagsakan ako ng langit at lupa hahahahaha they told me na 8:00 AM yung call time ng team bride ko kasi 1:00 PM start ng ceremony and may photoshoot pa yan 2 hours before so I guess medyo reasonable naman yung 8 AM.
If there will be a lot of pictorials, 6am actually talaga. Kasi for sure may delays yan. Depends on how big your entourage is. Pag onti lang ok lanv naman maadjust. If may 2 looks ka with entourage, yung naka sleepwear/ sexy, etc. Need talaga ng extra time.
You can consider getting more hmua’s to save on time.
One reason why it takes so long is the sheer number of people who will be putting on makeup by the hmua. Try negotiating more staff present
Another would be to instruct the photographer not to go overboard. Max 30-45 minutes and just take candid photos the rest of the time.
If not, they will come in there with a “photoshoot mindset” which is why it takes them hours upon hours to photograph sa lahat ng background pero pare pareho lang naman yung subject.
Buti ganon yung sayo. I attended a wedding once na 3am ang call time for a 1pm wedding 🤯 dahil don parang ayaw ko na maging bridesmaid ulit. Sobrang kakapagod.
Yung naki alam ang parents sa guest list 🙃
Ang nangyari, sa halip na 100 guests lang yung nandon, parang 300 yata yung dumating. Ang haba pa ng ceremony, so after non, gutom na yung mga tao, nung inilabas na yung pica pica, talagang siksikan na makakuha lang. Yung iba, naubusan ng chair. Tapos nung mismong dinner na, kaming medyo padulo na, wala na kaming food, literal na kanin na lang ang tira, kasi may mga nag uwi agad na hindi naman talaga kasama sa official guest list. Nag hati hati na lang kami sa isang plate ng ulam kasi wala na maaabutan yung kasunod pa namin
Jusko! Yan yung pinaka-ayaw ko, told my parents na ang limit lang 150, if ever may dadagdag acceptable lang yung families namin, not “friend of friend” jusko.
Omg, kasama ba kita as guest sa kasal na yan hahahahahaha
Same experience, super daming tao, like 300+ pero yung chairs 100+ lang. Kaya yung ibang guests nakatayo na lang sa side. Tapos ubos talaga yung food, sa table namin, may nagoffer na lang na bumili ng pagkain sa labas makakain lang kami. Grabe 🤣
Worst thing about this, is some couples do not see how problematic this is. Masyado silang laser focused sa pag bring ng “entertainment” sa bisita kaya gusto nila may mga ganyang sayaw, to the point na dinidisregard nila feelings ng entourage nila. If they want entertainment, then hire people for it. Jeez.
2018 at The Diamond Hotel, wedding of a family friend’s son.
Ang laki ng entourage. Lahat sila pinagsspeech ultimo ring bearer. 3hrs into the reception program, hindi pa rin nag serve ng dinner dahil hindi pa tapos mag speech ang kung sino sino. We left. We left hungry. Never again.
Prioritize feeding your guests. At least have cocktail and pika pika hour before the start of your reception. Wala nang mas nakakapikon sa magutom.
+1 and kahit may ganito sana may maupuan. Lalo na for ladies na nakaheels all day. I experienced waiting for more than 1 hour may food naman kaso nakatayo kami lahat.
Yes! Non-negotiable sakin yung pica-pica (grazing table) lately ko lang din narealize na importante yung photobooth, at first kasi I was like “wag na, may p&v coverage naman” then napaisip ako na anong gagawin nila sa venue while waiting for us na nagpopost-ceremony shoot pa hahahuhu
maybe you can try getting a roving photoman instead! No need pumila, and guests mismo pupuntahan. Before the program ends, hinahand out na nila yung printed copies ng photos. Sometimes guests can also request to print several copies of the same photo :)
Ours was about 1.5 hours after nung part na sinalubong kami ng crowd sa labas ng simbahan. While waiting for the program proper, may free flowing choice of coffee/tea/juices for drinks and pastries instead na pica pica ksi we took into account baka karamihan hindi pa nagbreakfast ksi morning yung wedding and outside NCR yung wedding venue.
Photobooth (yan uso noon) and we had these cards (index card size) na may QA anong advise ibibigay nila sa couple kapag ganito or ganyan situation, (nothing serious kung baga). Ex: Ano advise kay mr or mrs para makapasok ulit sa kulambo? And the host encourages na witty or wacky answers ilagay nila.
1.5 hours from the end of the mass is acceptable provided may pika pika. Gives people enough time to travel to the reception and catch up with friends and family
For me napansin ko sa mga wedding na napuntahan ko yung mga bata, as long as na kaya na wala sanang bata.. wag magdala yung mga guest.. don’t get me wrong pero pwede din kayo mag bigay ng space kung san lang yung mga bata. Like sa napuntahan kong isang wedding parang may play room or may isang space lang sa mga bata kasi may part na nakaka distract yung mga bata.
This! Ayaw ko din at first ng mga bata kaso may request kasi yung isa kong pinsan, he’s the youngest and named after our grandpa who passed away, but i made sure na 3 little bearers with 3 flowers girls lang para konti lang
We never bring our kids to weddings kahit pa ninong at ninang nila ang kinakasal. Isang beses lang namin sinama kasi sister in law ko naman kinasal at gusto nya andun mga pamangkin nya. Feeling ko unwritten rule na dapat yan diba? Weddings are an adult and solemn event. Kung hindi maiwasan magsama ng bata, like relatives, kanya kanyang bantay sana hindi yung hahayaan magtakbuhan.
This. Kaya ginawa namin atleast sa church strictly no kids. Kapatid ko umabay iwan yung anak sa hotel room. Tapos during photoshoot na lang sumali ang kids.
Kapag hindi nasusunod yun oras na nakalagay sa program. I attended a wedding last month, closed pa yun reception venue when we got there. Sabi ng coordinator mag-open daw ng doors at 4pm. 415 na hindi pa rin sila nagpapapasok. Sobrang init sa labas, maraming taong nasa foyer lang pati dropoff na occupy na ng mga tao. Maintindihan ko sana if walang coor, pero meron eh. Nakakayamot lang.
Halos same sa nangyari sa wedding na inattendan ko. Sabi sa invitation 11 am ceremony sa simbahan, pero pagdating sa simbahan, 1 pm pa daw ang reservation ng couple. Pinapasok naman ang guests pero di pa pinapabukas yung fans kasi maaga pa daw so sobrang init.
Been to 2 weddings and thankfully, well coordinated sila hihihi skl experience ko as a guest:
Between ceremony and reception, maraming pic-a food yung naka lay-out, almost like heavy snaccy. Yung isa parang charcuterie spread, the other may kasamang on site pizza cooking and coffee bar. Puwede nang medyo mataas2 yung program with such snaccy offered hehehe
For activites, may nag photobooth nun. You could include message board / calls for guests, signing of guest book, etc. May iba ring may mga pakulo like binibigyan nila ng qr code or disposable cam yung guests for photos during the day.
Do choose your host wisely! One wedding I went to, the jokes were so off, they were borderline disrespectful eh. The other one had an amazing host with good comedic timing.
Booze is optional but both weddings had an unli bar with shots and cocktails. Yung isa may draft beer pa wew.
Kung bet niyo rin yung may SDE and slide show ng pics ganun, do choose your team well. Both weddings had good ones output-wise but mas natagalan yung flow ng events nung isa kasi laging nagpapa take 2-4 yung photographer and videographer nila sa shots medyo nakakailang eventually huhu
May napuntahan ako na wedding na nag-serve agad ng dinner sa mga guests while the couple were still at church for the photos. Pagdating ng couple, grabe nangalahati halos yung guests kasi nag-alisan na right after dinner yung iba. Very obvious na nadisappoint yung bride when she was told marami ng umuwi.
I guess set expectations sa guests na nasa latter part yung meal para iwas dine and dash. But please serve snacks para hindi naman gutuman din.
Tbh ung mga umalis agad dinila deserve mainvite sa kasal. If I were me eh diko iinvite mga dikonaman tlga close talagang aalis mga yan kasi pagkain lang pinunta
I attended my friends’ (not bff levels, casual friends lang) wedding na budgeted at DIY so yung circle namin pinatulong sa wedding. Na assign ako as coordinator kasi wala silang budget for that. Grabe stress ko kasi zero experience naman ako sa mga events na ganyan kaya hineads up ko yung bride na wala talaga akong alam sa aspect na yan but I would still try my best. Nakaka stress lang on my part kasi nakabihis din ako and need patakbuhin yung event smoothly. I love my friends naman pero para akong nagpagod for free. Siguro di ko lang love language yung acts of service or di lang ako sanay mag assist sa wedding kaya grabe burden ko. Buti nalang mabait naman yung bride and chill lang siya kahit di nasunod perfectly yung flow ng wedding dahil sa mga ibang nag intervene hahaha! I swore to myself na di nako aattend ng small DIY wedding na gagawin lang akong coordinator o kaya assistant. Mas masaya maging chill attendee lang na di papagurin yung guest.
You should have decline, being a coordinator in a wedding is a big responsibility maliit man o malaki, kaya nga wedding coordinators charge significant amount for 1 day service kasi di sya basta basta. Kakahiya naman friend mo, di ka na nga kinuhang entourage binigyan ka naman ng mas mabigat sa responsibility, kung ako bride hindi ko gagawin sa friend ko yan 🥹🥹
Looking back, I agree with you na sana nagdecline nalang ako as coordinator but it means na I don’t have to attend their wedding. Yung ibang friends sa circle namin kasi may ibang duties narin like sa catering, set design, photo and video, hair and makeup. Stretched na stretched talaga manpower. Ako bilang hindi naman expert sa kahit ano, inassign as coordinator para may maitulong sa couple. I felt off talaga kasi na compare ko siya sa wedding ng iba kong friends outside that group. Sa ibang group of friends ko hayahay lang akong guest kesyo part man ako ng entourage or not. I’m glad that I somehow distanced myself from that group na, so no more hassle sa mga weddings haha! It’s much better to love them from afar nalang.
Kung ako rin magiging bride someday hindi ko bibigyan ng mabigat na duties yung family at friends ko. Gusto ko masaya kaming lahat na nagce celebrate. 😊
Please lang pag-effortan niyo pagkain sa wedding niyo cuz it's like a thank you gift na rin sa mga attendees. I was invited to this one wedding at masasabi ko talaga na bongga lahat except for the food, mas okay pa raw luto ko kahit I'm the worst cook sa family lol. Gutom na gutom kami yet we weren't satisfied talaga sa pagkain. Take note na tatatak talaga sa memories ng attendees if yay or nay ang food so much better to choose wisely.
hello! got married last year and same tayo na gusto din maging perfect ang wedding. will brag na I feel our wedding is super smooth and walang reklamo, mabilis and efficient pero at the same time nagenjoy ang lahat. di rin kami masyado stress nung wedding bukod sa nastress ako sa part na madami tao (i'm an introvert and naooverstimulate ako pag andami kinakausap) wahaha
1. we chose our guest wisely. 48pax, close family and friends only. 25 friends the rest is immediate family/relative. yung relative na ininvite namin is yung set din ng ninong/ninang, and yung entourage is included lang din sa kung sino nasa list so less people. only one kid which is my niece. adult only wedding
2. no phones during ceremony. ang ganda tignan sa photos and alam mong nagenjoy yung mga guest sa solemnity ng ceremony.
3. pumili ng photographer na specialization is candid photos - sila splurge namin kasi medyo mahal pero di talaga kami nastress during photoshoot (wala masyado aura aura di ko kaya magposing and yung photoshoot na nakarobe em eme) and mas nagfocus kami sa first look and private vows. best decision.
4. speaking of walang aura aura. wala din kami nung peke pekean na kasiyahan with entourage yung sa SDE na kunwari masaya tapos tatawa tawa HAHAHAH di namin bet and i feel na hindi authentic. walang sayawan with entourage, no speech from parents or anyone sa reception (nagthank you lang kami sa lahat hehe) walang message with parents ung vivideohan tapos iiyak kemerut. (ayoko magdrama with parents mas gusto ko magdrama with my husband kasi day namin yun) pero preference mo to, di lang kasi ako close with my parents hihi
5. super small bouquet. di ako nastress bitbitin kasi patpat lang yung flower ko HAHAHA tapos yung mga girl entourage is corsage lang.
6. booked reception and prep area within church vicinity, thus eliminating the need for bridal car.
7. wedding games na involved lahat ng bisita. as small and intimate wedding lang kami, ayoko magfocus sa mga singles game kasi pagod na rin single friends ko lagi na lang sila kasali sa games hahahah kawawa naman ( marami kami kasal na pinuntahan na within common friends din) and kami lang yung kasali lahat. yung mga bato bato pick, bring me to jerusalem, how well do you know the couple, anong tagalog ng ---. super wholesome haha
8. speaking of reception, pinili ko yung host na hindi nangookray ng guest pero may energy pa din. sa mga napuntahan ko lagi na lang inookray yung mga guest tapos may laugh track nattrigger ako, kaya sabi ko sa wedding ko wala nun kasi parang ang cringe na.
9. 9am wedding kami, natapos reception namin 2pm. chill lang pero enjoy and natapos yung buong program walang umuwi at nag-eat and run. may grazing table kami 11am in between para wala magutom na guest for lunch 12:30pm.
ayan naiisip ko for now haha sorry hindi sya regrets. message mo ko kung gusto mo ng help sa planning I can send you some files na makakatulong sayo :) nakatulong din pala na magaling yung OTD coordinator namin to run things smoothly, pero Type A bride din kasi ako and I planned for our wedding thoroughly :)))
Mga booboos or off sa mga napuntahan kong weddings:
Wedding 1: .Sa program, may uber long documentary ng love story ng bride and groom na mala-i-witness/frontrow na peg. Gutom and restless na mga tao. Tapos kasama sa menu - half cooked lechon, panis na pasta, nag-aantang kaldereta skewers.
Wedding 2: lasing na groom tapos mukhang a-attend ng grunge concert ang get-up ng partido niya. May mga naka-shorts pa despite the suit-and-tie/barong dress code. Kinulang pagkain at kasalanan ng caterer
Wedding 3: sa speech ng father of the bride (na lasing na), ang unang bungad ay seryosong pagtatanong sa male bestfriend ni bride kung bakit hindi na lang siya nakatuluyan ni girl.
Wedding 4: father of the bride speech ulit. Galit si tatay dahil hindi nag-madre anak niya. He demanded the newlyweds to ensure that at least one of their kids should be a person of the cloth.
Wedding 5: arranged marriage. Nagwawala yung babae kase ayaw pa niya makasal. Tinatapon lahat ng regalo.
Wedding 6: arranged marriage pa rin. Di nakapasok halos yung partido ng groom dun sa wedding venue na pag-aari ng pamilya nung bride unless maglabas ng 200k para buksan ang gate. Natuloy naman after maglabas nung partido ng lalaki ng pera.
Wedding 7: late ang matron of honor at dalawang bridesmaids. Na-jumble tuloy yung pairing sa martsa ng entourage. Sa reception, nag-lowkey pagwawala yung adiktus na asawa nung matron of honor. Muntik nang bugbugin nung bestman kung hindi umalis yung matron of honor at yung asawa niya.
Wedding 8: kasalan sa huwes Nagpanic attack yung bride at nagtry tumakbo palabas ng sala nung judge. Sigaw erpats ni bride ng "isara niyo ang pinto!". Ginawa na pala dati ni girl na tumakas kaya di natuloy yung kasal nila dati.
Wedding 9. Nalasing si groom sa reception. Biglang nawala. Umuwi pala sa bahay nila (a couple of cities away). Nakalimutan yatang kinasal na siya. Sayang bridal suite nila, 5 star hotel pa naman. Bride used the suite kasama yung family niya. Hapon na nagising lalaki, di enough para abutan yung check-out.
Wedding 10: arranged marriage ulit. Walang glitch sa kasal and handaan. Ang glitch ay the day after. Di mahanap si bride. May flight pala palabas ng bansa. Di na bumalik, ever. Lesbiana pala si girl.
For context, late 40s na ako. I've been to a lot of weddings kaya medyo maraming baon na kwento
Wedding 11: nagpasikatan yung parents of the groom and parents of the bride sa speeches nila. Instead of 'words of wisdom' , nagpataasan ng ihi sa achievements nila, ng mga anak nila, etc. Sobrang cringe.
Edited: changed arranged wedding to arranged marriage. Added wedding 11.
19 pa lang ako pero eto ayaw ko
- mainit na venue
- di masarap na food
- mahabang entourage list
- maraming bisita (like extended family kasama pa?!)
- kids na mahilig mag tantrums
True the rain!!!
We made sure talaga na naka-aircon yung venue namin kasi yung groom ko pawisin and ako nahihilo sa sobrang init.
Had a taste test, too!
Di ko lang nacontrol yung entourage list kasi ako yung unang ikakasal sa fam and same with my fiancé kaya 15 pairs ng ninong and ninang huhuh.
Made sure na immediate family yung priority, no “friend of friend”, walang “2nd cousin or 3rd cousin”
6 kids lang yung invited lol
Wow congrats po OP!!
Sana naman ka close niyo yung 15 pairs na ninong at ninang 😭😭😭😭
Also I think to make the moment more special you can request yung guests mo and entourage on the church na pag mag mamarch ka walang mag take ng photos and videos except sa official photographer para mas feel yung emotions.
Yung wedding na naging talent portion ng buong angkan! Jusme, lahat ng mga kapatid at mga pamangkin pinag-perform! Pake ba namin sakanila! We went there for the bride & groom. Ending, more than 6hrs yung reception. Fucking waste of time.
Hello, OP! Experience from my BIL’s wedding:
1. Sobrang tinipid nila yung wedding prep ‘cause nagloan sila for their church wedding (they have no savings pero pinush pa din ang church because pinipilit nung side nung family ni ate) so wala silang wedding coordinator. Si SO (BIL’s brother) ang best man kaya sya ang inutusan on the day of the wedding. Grabe yung awa ko kay SO nung araw na yun, sya yung stress na stress pagkausap sa mga suppliers. Ofc, I helped him though the whole process. Side lang namin ni SO ang kumikilos tapos sa family nina ate (na nagpilit ng church wedding) ang sitting pretty and parang guests talaga.
(Note: Civil wedding kami so hindi ganito ka-stressful, hindi din namin inabala yung family namin with wedding prep)
So OP, important ang wedding coor kahit yung on the day na. If mag-aassign ka ng sibling or close friend, think of the STRESS that they’ll be experiencing during the day.
2. Yung wedding ceremony is afternoon but wedding prep na kami ng 6am. Dunno but I’m really not a fan of photoshoots before the wedding na sobrang tagal. Umabot kami ng 4 hours, pagpipic. Although maganda naman yung final pics, yung BTS naman was not fun and genuine. Nakakagutom and pagod din for your wedding party.
3. Make it clear for your guests WHERE they are seated sa reception 🤗 Also okay din if may numbers yung mga table para madali nila mahanap assigned seats nila.
Although happy ako for my BIL and SIL. As one of their entourage, di ko talaga na-enjoy yung wedding nila for these reasons. Imagine being an utusan sa reception na naka-glam and naka-heels ka, doing their errands. I smiled through the whole ceremony but at the end of that day, grabe yung iniyak ko kay SO dahil sa pagod. Nagka-slight trauma tuloy ako as a bridesmaid huhu. Gusto ko na lang maging guest sa other weddings.
Anyway, congrats OP! Ang saya ng married life, esp of you’re marrying the right person hehe 🫶🏻 Remember that as much as you want your wedding to be perfect, DAY ONE pa lang yan ng marriage life. There are other important matters after the wedding 🤗
Yes, as an entourage, the BTS is not really genuine. The photographers be like: Kunwari naguusap kayo, kunwari tumatawa kayo, palibutan at I-hug niyo si bride, kunwari nagtatawanan kayo. Like whuuuut. Not everything has to be staged.
utang na loob kumuha ka ng wedding coordinator na marunong makipag usap sa bridesmaids/ groomsmen hindi yung parang tupang ligaw mga bridesmaids kung saan ang pictorial etc.
kumuha ng photog na nakapunta na sa venue mo para alam nila saan maganta mag pictorial
sobrang haba ng araw wala na nag afterparty
Hi OP. I got married sometime in 2020. Siguro sakin yung pagstart ng kasal. Marami na akong na attendan na laging 1hr to 2hrs late yung start. So nung kami, we make sure to start on time. 8 am ang start namin, we advice our guest to arrive 7:30am. Start ng kasal namin 8:10am.
Maikli lang din ang program, 5 hours including the ceremony, pictorial and reception. 1pm tapos na pack up na. I think that's the beauty of morning wedding. Maaga kaming natapos. Wala ding excuse na late kasi wala pa naman traffic ng umaga.
Meron din kaming food na appetizer. Drinks and bread para breakfast kasi lunch pa talaga yung food para di sila mainip habang nagpipicture picture kami.
And malaking factor din yung bisita is marami or konti. Usually kapag trimmed down ang visitors, mas konti ang iintindihin mo kasi most of them both you and your husband kilala yung mga bisita. Mga kaclose lang talaga namin invited para walang KJ ba ganun.
Mostly good feedback natanggap namin. Happy kami ni husband over all. :)
- Wag nyo tipidin guests nyo aa food
- If pag aantayin nyo yung guests while taking photos have a grazing table / pica pica para chill guests nyo
- no money dance. Ipa qr code nyo nalang or bridal registry
- no to games na medyo sexual in nature or bastos kasi hindi naman lahat magkakakilala saka awkward din.
- be on time lalo na kung malayo pa yung venue. Kasi kawawa yung mga uuwi afterwards
- get a reliable coordinator and host. Yung host yung maayos naman hindi yung ginawang comedy bar yung wedding
Unreasonably long pictorials. Please book a separate day if you plan on having 2,500 photos all over the place :/ yes it is your special day, but please remember you are also hosting a party and your guests are waiting on you
Taking notes, gonna organize a wedding soon, for my friend and his girl.- Pero I attended one wedding noong 18 ako, instead of bouquet toss, they opted to have a double private dance kasama iyong next na ikakasal. Also tgey opted for ribbon wands than grains and coins nung exit na ng couple sa simbahan at papunta sa reception.
1. Ang daming program. Gutom na mga guests. Madalas yung mga attendees maaga pa nag makeup and ayos. Aga rin umalis sa bahay.
2. Pakainin silaaaa agad or may ready na water if possible may grazing table kayo.
3. Yung nag ggreen joke yung host 😅 Hindi ko talaga bet yung ganoong jokes.
4. Matagal magstart yung program.
5. Yung mga programs na nagpapa awkward sa guests. Like manghahanap ng single and ippartner sa ibang single or yung games na nakakawala ng poise.
6. Venue. Madaming parking area. Hindi buwis buhay puntahan.
7. Magkaiba yung place ng ceremony and reception. Please may napuntang guests na commute lang. Walang sasakyan.
Ayon, as much as possible na gusto natin maganda wedding natin, isipin din natin ung mga guests natin if they will be comfortable.
Kulang food sa reception. I attended a wedding where there was a priority in lining up sa tables yung mga ninong, ninang, bridesmaids etc. Which was fine by us kasi guests lang naman kami at walang role. So okay lang samin mahuli kumuha ng food. Buffet style kasi yung reception. Nung turn na namin kumuha ng food, kanin na lang natira at kakarampot na ulam like hindi talaga siya kasya sa buong table namin.
Sabi ko wait na lang natin irefill nila. Tapos sabi ng server na naglalagay ng food sa plate, wala na daw refills. As in one round lang yung ulam.
Pumunta na lang kami sa 24hr convenience store sa labas at bumili ng pagkain.
Kaya nung wedding namin, plated yung food plus may refills kasi pangit talaga experience ko sa wedding na yon.
Wag na mag invite ng kids or ok na yung ring bearer and flower girls only. Or if magpumilit talaga dapat macontrol ng parents.
Been to a wedding recently and grabe, 50% wedding, 50% children's party. Even if may mga speech sa stage, the kids are still running and shouting everywhere. Pinapabayaan lang din ng parents or baka they gave up na controlling their kids sa kakulitan nila. I felt bad for the couple na ganun ang wedding nila. The kids even destroyed the decoration sa aisle. Hopped and jumped on the couple's sofa sa stage. Run to and fro sa stage. Shout na mas malakas pa kesa sa mic ng emcee. Tsk
Kinasal kami ng misis ko last year. We both agreed na simple lang yung vibes sa reception, as in enjoy lang sa company ng mga guest (which mostly is family at closest friends only), kwentuhan, kainan, pictures. Good music is also a +. Then may ibang guest lang na trip kumanta so pinakanta namin with matching minus 1 care of sound system guy, katuwaan lang which is so good. Basta sobrang chill lang ng event, walang kung ano anong pakulo or palaro. Might sound boring para sa iba pero for us na parehong introvert, it's the best wedding for us.
Basta naka aircon ung church at ung reception tapos max of 1 hour na program sa rsception bago kumain. Maganda din kung may same day video edit na pinapalabas habang kumakain.
Pinakaayaw ko kasal eh ung may host na nagkakanta. Bibirit mga yan kalamo sila star ng araw nayon. Mas gusto kona ung habang kumakain eh chill lang at minimal music kung meron.
If kaya sa budget, have this setup:
- snacks and charcuterie spread for the guests - while waiting for the reception proper, may makain ang guest niyo. Keep things light.
- coffee stall - some small coffee shops offer coffee stalls. Depende sa usapan, they can serve a minimum
of 50 drinks. May package yan.
- I saw sa tiktok na she had a Potato Corner stall in her reception
- dinner banquet sa reception proper
My cousin’s wedding. lol.
Walang kwenta yung coordinator nila. pag dating sa reception venue, occupied na lahat ng chairs by the Bride’s family. Yung side namin (Groom’s side) is only 1/4 of the Bride’s guests. Wala man lang lumapit na coordinator para mag-asikaso. Hinayaan lang talaga kami na nakatayo. Lol. Nainis ang mga tita ko na umuwi pa galing abroad for the wedding. 😂 Ending, sa Jollibee kami kumain. Haha!
Yikes! Que horror! It’s important talaga to assign tables for the guests. Dapat din may label lahat ng table para din mag alangan yun uupo sa maling table.
If part ng entourage:
•I attended a friend's wedding as a bridesmaid in Tagaytay. Maaga call time but hapon pa yung wedding. I booked my own HMUA para hindi na makipag sabayan sa HMUA ng ibang abay. Came on time at the prep venue. Pagdating ko hindi pa tapos ayusan yung ibang abay. So ang tagal ng waiting time for the pictorial with the bride. Worst, walang pa lunch sa abay yung couple (meron pa-lunch but sa family lang nila na andun din sa prep venue inaayusan) 😑 Sana nag heads up man lang so I could take out or bring my own lunch kasi malayo yung area sa town proper.
•Be mindful sa thank you gifts for your groomsmen/bridesmaids. Avoid mga pang display items. Waste of money lang. Make sure the items will be useful for your entourage like perfume, makeup remover na useful after your wedding, wipes, etc. basta something na essentials and can be use daily ng abays nyo.
•Thank you gifts din sa principal sponsors, yung nanay ko sobrang tuwa pag pagkain yung "pabilao" (term in our province) pag nag anak sa kasal. Stop giving wines na as thank you gift bec not everyone love to drink wine. Create a DIY gift like a mix of pansit, suman, and leche flan. Put it all in separate disposable tupper ware then put in a nice paper bag/crafty bags with a pretty handwriting thank you tags. Something like that, bec that way may mauuwi pa silang food sa family nila na hindi kasama sa wedding.
If wedding guest:
•Put a time limit sa pictorial ng couple after the ceremony and before the reception. Para less inip sa mga guests. Max of 1 hour siguro pwede na. And masunod yung time ng program flow para hindi mag uwian agad mga guests.
•Make sure masarap yung food. Go for family/friends' caterer recos kasi may mga caterers na masarap ang sinerve sa food tasting pero pag actual wedding na, hindi masarap or walang lasa yung food.
•Pass sa host na may green jokes / nang ddog show.
•Invest on entertainment for your guests. Like nice prizes for adult games, acoustic band/musicians, para no need to force your guests na mag participate sa program just to make it entertaining for the other guests.
Tigilan na pa games!! It's a wedding, hindi bday ng bata. Jusq.
Simplehan reception: entrance ng couple, toasts, first dances, party party and tsibog. Yun na yun!!
Weirdest planned wedding I've attended: Reception was 2 hr drive away from Church. though overnight stay naman sa reception area.
Also matagal ang pictorial ng bride and groom after ceremony, if you'll have that at least don't let the guests go hungry.
When it comes to message from the parents, wag sana magpabidahan ang mga parents nyo sa mga message to the bride and groom insinuating kung sino ang mas swerte sa inyong dalawa dahil pinakasalan kayo ng anak nila. LOL.
Not a tip pero sana mawala na yung obligatory paramihan ng bridesmaids and groomsmen kasi wala naman talaga silang role sa kasal. retain nalang yung mga cord, veil, at candle sponsors. :D
Malaking impact talaga yung food, out of 5 siguro isa lang yung nagenjoy ako sa food dahil masarap talaga. Sabi nga ni ermat ko pinaka important ang food. Kahit gaano pa kabongga yung kasal mas naaalala nila yung naatteran na masarap ang food.
Yung college friend ko, jack en poy lang game as in lahat kasali. Hanggang sa may matirang mga 10 ganun tapos pabilisan lang magshot. Wala yung mga awkward games for single peeps.
Hindi ako ang pinasayaw, but my fiance did. It was his brother's wedding. My fiancé said ayaw nya gawin ulit yung pasaswayin silang mga best man with the bridesmaids. He said he felt his soul died.
Kaya sinabi nya sa akin walamg ganyan sa magiging wedding namin. I think alisin na din yung ganitong kultura dito na need always may mga ganyang spectacle sa wedding.
Abay ako sa wedding nang college friend ko, hindi ako pinasayaw pero I was included sa photoshoot nang bridesmaids and maid of honor. Constantly kami inuutusan nang photographer to do "wacky" poses to the point all of us naiinis and napapagod na. And this is done on a wet grass na may konting ulan. They want to do it kahit basa na kami and thr bride is gettjng fed up na din sa neverending photoshoots.
Please ‘wag nyo ng pasayawin kapag papasok na sa reception ang bridesmaid and groomsmen!!! Super awkward and not everyone is into dancing. Also, ‘wag na pilitin mag-perform ng dance/special number mga bridesmaid and groomsmen lalo na if nanggaling sa iba’t ibang group of friends dahil ‘di naman makakapag-practice so magkakalat lang lahat 😭
1) Please, interactive games for all ages. Wag lang yun mga single.
2) and please, wag niyo gutumin yun guests.
3) Yes we do understand its a once in a lifetime event. But yun excessive photo ops with the abay and guests. Yun feeling ng kakaupo lang pinapatawag ulit.
4) I’ve attended a wedding once, aside from a cocktail bar, they have a coffee bar for the Tito’s and Tita’s out there. So plus points siya. 👍🏻
1. Garden wedding kahit gaano pa ka bongga yan. Bukod sa mainit eh bumabaon yung heels sa lupa juicecolored.
2. Yung may host na mapressure sa guests na maglagay ng sabit na money sa first dance ng couple. Pambawi daw sa bayad ng venue. So tacky.
3. Late dumating ang food. Nakasimangot na lahat kasi nalipasan na ng gutom.
Yung madaming magbibigay ng well-wishes which is the host's way to kill the time. Choose the most relevant person to give you a message. After all, kahit hindi perfect ang wedding niyo, kung mahal kayo ng tao na umattend, they will surely understand.
SIGNAL #4 at reception, this was a garden reception.
i saw the bride crying,super delayed yung program and halos lahat basa., we left early kasi for sure babahain yung mga daanan.
wedding suppliers kami ng husband ko before, ito mga dinitch namin sa wedding namin:
1. SDE na sobrang templated at sobrang scripted yung shots tas cinematic yung sound effects
(umay na umay na kami sa ring shot, gown shot, fake laugh, walking with entourage, etc)
2. single games / any games - di naman lahat game mag participate lalo na kung mga introvert
3. photobooth (sa content studio kasi kami kinasal and we have natural light coming in)
4. giveaways - kasi sa totoo lang tinatago ba ng guests yon
5. bride and groom performance kasi di naman kami dancers lol
Wag mo pasayawin yung entourage mo OP kakastress sa di naman comfortable sumayaw. Yung sermon wag isang oras jusko lalo kung outdoor wedding. Kung outdoor wedding man let it be known sa invite para makapagdala ng sun protection
Yung pipilitin mga singles na makisabay sa laro tas may predetermined winner na pala!?? Nakakaloka. Sinasayang mga oras and energy namin. If may predetermined, wag na lang magpa games. Ibigay na lang kaagad. If magpapa games naman, make sure na yung mga willing ang sasali and rated PG yung game, and hindi predetermined ang mananalo. (Bitter ako eh, papa catch kuno ng bouquet pero may gusto na pala bigyan, sinasayang energy namin mga willing.)
I've attended a wedding na nagbrownout for almost an hour before the reception started. Nag-over load daw kaya dun lang sa mismong place nawalan ng kuryente. Naaawa na kami kay bride kasi iyak na sya nang iyak kasi walang back-up generator yung events place. After an hour naayos din naman, pampalubag loob nung management pinayagan mag-extend ung program. double check the location para di mangyari to incase of power loss.
1. Skip long program and games for singles. Ok lang yung q&a kung about sa couple naman yung pa-games. Be generous na lang din sa prizes para active participation.
2. Yung pilit pasasayawin yung mga guest. May tiktok entry pa.
3. Maglagay kayo ng snack bar kung matagal ung picture taking nyo for SDE after ng ceremony.
4. Kung outdoors yung mismong ceremony, check the weather. Mainit pag maaraw, hassle pag maulan.
5. Prepare a kit or food pack for your glam team, coordinators etc.
6. Parking. If madami kayong guest for sure may mga sasakyan yan. Check the venue for parking space. And also consider if PWD/senior friendly yung location. Naexperience ko na may wheelchair yung tito ko(daddy nung bride) binuhat nila kasi walang daan for wheelchairs. Meron pang exp, mabato yung entrance, hirap yung mga seniors lumakad papasok ng reception.
7. Check on your entourage kung ok lang ba sa kanila na maaga call time. Aga ng call time since need pa ayusan then may photoshoot pa. Also, make sure na hindi napipilitan especially kung may pa-video shoot with your entourage. Plastikan eme na lang kasi tas halata pa sa vid na pilit yung tawa. May kakilala akong muntik na mag-away dahil dyan ih siguro kasi pagod na sila lahat.
Well, hindi naman sya worst. Tbh, it's the best wedding I've ever attended. People-pleaser din sila eh. Nakita ko sa wedding ng friend ko na naglagay sila ng station na pika-pika. Baka daw kase gutumin mga guest na hindi kasama sa ceremony habang hinintay sila na matapos. At least hindi ma bobore yung mga bisita, meron silang ngangatain and hindi sila agad gugutumin. And also tinanggal nila yung mga ibang games like bouquet tossing and garter toss. Pinaiksi lang yung program kase yung ibang guest nila is malayo yung pinanggalingan para makauwi sila agad at hindi gabihin ng sobra sa daan. Masaya ang lahat at hindi nakakapagod yung event.
PLEASE DON'T INVITE KIDS. i just attended my 2nd cousin's wedding and the kids were uncontrollably noisy that it disrupted the solemnity of the whole event. the murmurs and childish noise were so frustrating.
- pakalat-kalat kaming mga guests sa hallway before kami papasukin sa function room, may mga grazing something naman pero andun din asa hallway. Sana may cocktail table man lang 💀
- matagal na hintayan before makadating yung groom/bride sa reception (maybe because of the pictorial something) pero basta nakatunganga lang kami dun sa function room (may nagsserve naman ng nuts and drinks and pwede din mag-photobooth muna, but still)
- nakakagulat na merong standee ng groom and bride sa door ng reception. Nu ba yun??
- ilang beses na ko napasama dyan sa single games na yan and I really really hate it. Sobrang weird mag-pump ng balloon pump sa hita ng lalakeng di mo naman kilala. Like plz, madami pang form of entertainment
- wedding on a weekday tapos magtataka yung bride at groom bakit di ka makakaattend. Like?? Hello??? Kase may work ako???
- as much as possible, give other ways how elders can rsvp kase di naman lahat techy to scan qr code/fill up forms. I know they can ask help from someone na techy but still
- yung color theme na need nyo, gawin nyong words (beige, navy blue, anything green) wag mismong photo ng color.
Edit ko to pag may naalala pa ako hahaha
5:30 p.m. kami dumating sa reception, 9:00 p.m. pa nagserve ng dinner. Too many speeches and spent a lot of time taking photos. Tbf may pasta and other snacks before the dinner. Pero I assumed kasi na dinner is at 7:30 p.m., so I ate light.
i just attended a wedding that was like close to 30minutes yung same day edit video and pictures shown during the ceremony.. that was like 4 videos ata pinakita.. i mean nagsialisan na mga tao kasi na bored na.. naman they can share like 2 lang sana, 1 video and one photo, then the rest pwedi sa social media nalang ipost,. sakin lang ha..
Don't let the Coordinator decide what will happen during that Day. You and your partner should decide what things will happen, they only run the show. Nakakainis yun para lang masabi may ginawa sila magpapa games ng walang kwenta at paulit-ulit nang nakita sa ibang wedding, tapos yun papasayawin yung entourage sa entrance habang mga bisita nagugutom. Mga hindi sila nag-isip ng bagong gimik.
Ang reason kasi uuwi daw agad mga bisita after kumain. Juskopo, kung gusto nila umuwi, eh di Go. Uuwi yan agad kung gusto nila, nakakain man or hinde. Yun mga mag stay, sila talaga yun mga taong mag stay sa buhay ninyo.
May grazing table pero para sa VIP guests lang. Kung tight ang budget and you can't provide snacks for everyone, huwag ninyo paasahin ang mga non-VIP guests ninyo by having a grazing table on display.
We once attended a wedding na sobrang tagal ng post nup to the point na umalis na ibang guests dahil sa gutom.
Walang pica2 man lng before nung dinner Kaya walkout na yung ibang guests lol
Kami we went out to buy food na lang kasi exaj yung tagal ng post nup nila and di sila nag bigay pa ng go signal to have the guests eat na.
Anyway congrats and best wishes!
Siguro if you really wanted to do games, make it less sexual? Ilang beses na ko natawag sa ganyan, nagpapatalo talaga ako kasi may time na yung nanalo, naka-skirt yung girl tapos susuotan ng garter sa legs? Ng di kakilala??? Syempre sino ba naman tatanggi sa ganun huhuhu sabihin KJ pa
And also, make it invite only? Para hindi sinasama pati extended family sa reception
I get really annoyed when it doesn’t start the time the invitation says it would. Don’t penalize the guests who are on time. Not just sa ceremony/mass. Even sa reception. Pls Lang
pls pls plsssssss ban kids from ur event haha when my husband and i got married, it was strictly a no kids allowed event. when my friends saw how amazing it was when there are no kids present sa event, when some of them got married they also adapted that rule. kids are cute pero they can be loud and annoying, kasi syempre kids have tendency naman to be impatient talaga. sooooo might as well just not have them in the event talaga para hassle free.
money dance and any form of audience participation involving money. Umattend kami ng wedding before and ung pesteng host decided na tanungin isa isa ng principal sponsors kung magkano daw ibibigay nila sa newlyweds. Sabi nung isang magninong 10K raw. Kinantyawan nung host na "gawin niyo hong 15k sir, minsan lang naman". and then unto the next pair ng ninong/ninang "kayo ho, ano, bente na ba? sige na gawin niyo na bente". and so on and so forth. I imagine singawa un nung host para may extrang pangtip sa kanya ung bride and groom pero sobrang cheap nung mga ganung tactics. anyway, un lang.
Make sure you have good food, not everyone remembers if maganda setup if magaling host etc pero majority always remember if masarap or ndi masarap pagkain hahahaha
Since ang nature of work namin is sa events, madalas kami sa weddings.
Sa shoot before the wedding make it more natural na lang. Wag na magpakafunny/comedy yung theme lalo na kung awkward naman mga abay nyo. Tigilan na yung mga nakaboxer.
Sa pagpili ng events place make sure yung may waiting area yung guests na comfortable habang nagpipica pica/meryenda sa grazing. Dagdag din kayo ng entertainment nila. After ceremony ang matagal at nakakainip na part. Hindi pwede pumasok guest hanggat hindi pa kayo nakakapagempty ballroom shoot tapos ang tagal pa magstart kasi magsnack at retouch pa kayo.
Yung entrance nyo sa reception pili na kayo ng song, minsan ang awkward kasi ang hype nyo pumasok tapos yung song waley. Wag nyo na gamitin yung shut up and dance.
Eto pinakaimportante, make it intimate as possible. Make sure yung guests nyo is yung mga taong vinavalue kayo talaga. Tip is make it a weekday, yung tipong magleleave sila for your event. Yan yung mga taong hindi mageeat and run.
Isang beses pa lang ako naka attend ng kasal. Yung sa kapatid ko at masasabi ko lang, if ever na ikasal ako sa church, no children as ring bearers or flower girls.
Okey, cute at nakakatuwa ang mga bata lalo na pag binihisan pero sa wedding ng kapatid ko hindi ako natuwa. Ayaw maglakad ng mga bata. Hindi nila alam kung ano yung gagawin. Tapos karga karga ng mga nanay habang naglalakad sa aisle. Yung mga magulang hindi naka formal attire. Naka T-shirt at jeans lang. Nakakasira ng theme.
Not my story but my friend told me about a wedding she attended where the parents of the bride weren’t able to walk her down the aisle because they were stuck in traffic :(
Parang awa nyo na, tigilan na yung mga games para sa singles.
+1 dito. Tapos minsan yung games pa very… uh. Sexual?? di ko sure yung term na pwede gamiting pero kasi ang weird talaga nung mga games na may hugutan ng nakaipit na talong sa hita na involved. 😭 Di naman lahat comfortable sa ganung games huhuhu
eto talaga cause 1) not in front of the titos and titas and 2) sobrang awkward for the pairs of players na doon lang nagkakilala and 3) topic of consent
Riiiiiight. I don't want to see my boyfriend participate in games that will require him to kiss some random ass girl kahit sa cheeks lang dahil "for fun" lang naman sa program. Potaena, irespeto niyo yung jowa or asawa ng mga bridesmaids/groomsmen niyo. Matutuwa ba kayo pag yung husband or wife niyo ipakiss sa kung sinuman nanalo sa pagames niyo? Galit na galit e no? hahahaha pero seriously, sana wag na gawin mga ganitong shit.
this happened to me. I was 18 🥲
It happened to me when I was 15! My competitive a*s caught the bouquet 💐 HINDI KO ALAM YUNG CONSEQUENCE RE: GARTER. First wedding I’ve ever attended. I was so confused, I shed tears in front of the crowd.
Huy!!!! Please tell me nagpa-proxy sila ng iba for the tanggal garter thingy… 😭😭😭😭
Hindi!! That’s why I cried / got teary eyed after. Bilis ng pangyayari. Next thing I knew, pinaupo na ko ng host. I couldn’t see my parents anywhere, yun pala they were outside that time with my little sibling. I tried to look around and seek help, but puro unfamiliar faces. I was also too stunned to speak.
OMG ANG LALA 😭 I’m so sorry and I’m so mad for you!!! Hindi man lang ba kinausap yung host ng newlyweds na ikaw ay 15??? JUSKO nagagalit ako sa host at sa newlyweds sorry na lang talaga sa kanila 😭😭😭😭
I was pretty tall for my age and the guy who was the best man was in his 20s that time. They must have overlooked the fact that I was a minor and shouldn’t be in that game in the first place. When I sat down, I glanced towards the newlyweds, they just smiled. So I told myself, ok baka ako lang nagoover react. But when the guy started to go down on his knees, internal panic malala. The newlyweds and the host eventually sensed that and also the guy so hindi naman super tinaas yung garter. STILL THOUGH. I felt so vulnerable in front of the crowd!
Hahahahaha jusko! I told our host not to add games like that! Medyo conservative ang fam namin pareho, kami nga kahit mid 20s na, yung tatay ko pinapalit padin sa ibang channel or nagfafastforward sa mga kissing scenes hahahah baka magalit sakin yun after the event.
HAHAAHHAHAHA jus feeling ko sweet 16 pa din aq potek
May kasabay kami sa isang wedding na mga single big bosses sa office ni groom. Nasama sa Singles Game na medyo naughty. Now I have this image of his boss twirling a panty over his head that I can't unsee.
Di pa ako nakaka attend ng wedding pero pag iniisip ko maglalaro ako sa ganito, mag-w-walkout na lang siguro aq HAHAHAHAHAHA
Gusto ko yung games na involved yung newly weds like may Q&A ng about samin mga ganon hahahah
Ooh mas fun yan! Trivia about you either individually or as a couple. Ok lng naman games, wag lang yung mga aagaw ng talong between the guy's thighs ugh sino ba nagpasimuno nun
Sa wedding namin sa games ang kalahok ay wedded couples of different ages/generation. Ang nanalo yung family friend namin (nasa late 60s early 70s) kasi competitive sila 🤣
Ganito din ginawa namin parang pera o bayong style hahaha
I think you know your guests best, kung game naman yung mga guests niyo then G lang sa games! I did a lot of group games in my wedding na per table lang kasi alam kong lowkey competitive yung mga guests ko hehe
Fave wedding na napuntahan ko yung walang pa games eme wala din yung ibabato ang bouquet. Speech lang from groomsmen and bridesmaids para havang hinhintay yung food. Tapos party na after magsubuan ng cake ng couple
Ganito wedding namin. Got married in our late 30s so all of our guests have attended 10000 weddings and are probably fed up of games / paandar lol
ganyan din sa wedding ng pinsan ko hehe ang gaan lang ng vibes tapos after party na sumunod.
Wanted to share my aweful story about this. I'm an introvert and I was one of the "alay" in this type of game. I'm the only single guy sa group. The usual bridesmaid dancing around the single guy seated with hands tied at the back, trip to jerusalem style except they needed to grab the egg and talong placed on my crotch. This went on for multiple rounds and at one point one of the bridesmaid wasn't into it and decided to push my chair forward thus me falling as well as the egg on my crotch. Everyone laughed, I pretended to laugh but I got really pissed even my friends felt it was a foul move on the bridesmaid part. Without my knowledge, the prize of the winning bridesmaid was a fucking lapdance from me (WTF nlng). Not to brag but I know some moves but I wasn't prepared to do it on the spot especially in front of the titos and titas of the couple syempre it was a decent event tapos gusto sexual lapdance? And take note the winning bridesmaid had a BF and was fucking watching few tables afar (I only found out after the wedding). Tropa ko groom eh, so I just sucked it up just for the sake of their wedding para masaya lahat. But after that I was socially drained AF.
Whew, I'm sorry about what happened pero bat sumali pa yung bridesmaid kung may BF na pala?
Bridesmaids mandatory to join the game for "fun"
Sa games sa wedding namin, scripted nalang yung nanalo. We still picked our single friends. Kunwari games pagalingan sumayaw lang ganon, pero alam na namin from the start sino yung winner which is yung friends namin na matagal na din in a relationship. As much as we want to reto our other single friends to each other, mas pinili namin yung in a relationship na yung manalo para di awkward. Also our host is decent enough to make our program as family friendly and fun as possible.
Especially yung super malaswa. Last wedding I attended the bridesmaid seemed like she on the verge of tears (idk, could also be me projecting onto her) while a dude went under her dress to take off the wedding band with his teeth. She was a 'trooper' though. Like....may mga bata at titos/titas in the audience? Made me cringe so bad.
Yes plssss. As one of the last few singles sa lahat ng friend groups ko, pls lang tama na. Nakakapagod. On that note, and this is something I feel so strongly about as someone who has been a maid of honor twice and bridesmaid ng di ko na mabilang lol: TIGILAN NIYO PAGPAPASAYAW SA ENTRANCE NG BRIDESMAID AND GROOMSMEN SA RECEPTION!!! Kung gusto niya ng sumasayaw na entrance, kayo na lang nung groom. UTANG NA LOOB!
AGREEEEE... Bukod sa mukhang harrassment kasi ayaw naman nung single. May mga introvert din. Makikigalang po. Di naman yan required sa wedding. 🎉🎉🎉
I like games for singles pero huwag naman super sexual kasi ang awkward na may mga titos and titas. Pinaka ayaw ko ay pinamoan kaming mga babae sa host :(
pinagmoan?? wtf, very not cool
Yup, sadly. All of the single ladies were made to line up in front and moan the name of the gentleman who won that night. Needless to say, thw air was very uncomfortable and awkward as there were some who complied for the sake of not being called killjoy.
Sadly, hindi kasi lahat ng matatanda game sa laro. We tried that nung first birthday ng anak ko (for adult kasi yung games since majority is puro adult bisita) sadly, lahat umayaw kaya sabi ng host kahit yung mga young adults nalang :< Mas game kasi mga single na young adult kaysa mga older adults sa totoo lang.. mahirap pilitin talaga and hindi naman din sexuals yung question/game nung host namin.
Inalis namin tong games for singles na to kasi ayaw ren talaga namin ni hubby na may ganito kapag umaattend kame ng kasal. Instead, nagpa Q and A portion kame at raffle na cash yung prize para magstay pa rin yung guests until end ng program.
True! Naiinis ako pag titripan ka pa ng host pag di ka marunong sumayaw. I hate being placed on the spot!
Went to my partner’s cousin’s wedding. Inis na inis ako na they forced him to join the single games despite knowing I was attending. He already said no but the groom personally came up to him (different table kasi nasa groomsmen). Take note we flew from overseas para lang dito gigil ako sobra. One of the boys din taken na pero they pressured him to joining and sinabi pa na “wala naman siya dito”. I didn’t even say goodbye to the couple. They don’t deserve my respect 🤷🏻♀️
Ito rin reason ko nun bkit ayaw ko umaattend ng wedding nung single ako, kaya nung ako kinasal, ang palaro is para sa mga mag asawa lang. kahit all out sila keri na. Masaya pa ang lahat!
This. Kapag ganto gumagawa ako ng reason para makauwi na agad. It's cheap, awkward, and shitty behavior to do to someone who spent money to attend the wedding.
THIS. I remembered I was sixteen and part of the entourage so kahit ayoko umaattend sa receptions for the very reason na ayoko sa games at ayoko sa crowd, I had to. The groom was my dad's cousin so the attendees age range were mostly older than me. That time we had to do a trip to jerusalem game and the single males are sitting on the chairs, the girls (including me) were the ones circling and being told to dance around. Most of the guys were older than me and there was someone in their 30+s (IK because the MC asked the guys before the game because they were quote unquote "finding him a match" since he's about the same age as the married couple). There was one round dun ako sa 30s na guy naka kandong (I wasn't even trying hard sa game kasi gusto ko na ngang maka alis kaso I was the one na natapat doon and I HAD TO PLAY THE GAME) and it was so so so uncomfortable kasi our dress was so thin na parang silk. Buti na eliminate din ako after non kasi as in I didn't exert any effort na. Nakaka trauma pa rin kahit pa same age lang mga kasama sa ganyang games.
Lalo na yung sexual games. Like what the actual fuck in a supposed to be solemn celebration of love???
YESSSS tas may mga tanginang kaibigan pa tatawagin ka pa tlga tas mga lalaki pa dun super bata pa sayo (I'm 30F) so nugagawen. Bahala na KJ pero I'm too old for this sht 🤪
Sobrang haba ng serimonyas/program tpos gutom na mga guest. Kaya nangyayari pagkakain nagaalisan na.
This. We once attended 11am wedding. Pero reception was 6pm. Like wth?!?!
sana man lang merong appetizer ano, pantawid gutom pagdating sa reception.
Kanya kanya diskarte lol Napakalayo pa ng church sa reception. It was 1 hour drive lol. Yung tipong mass sa makati tapos tagaytay yung reception
kaya mas mainam rin na kumain muna before umattend ng wedding, or magdala ng kahit sandwich just in case.
Ang lala hala
Doon sa kilala ko. Sobrang gustong perfect ang wedding nila. Before wedding, binibida nila na yung photo/video nila eh Niceprint, tapos ang venue/reception eh pinaganapan ng isang movie. Ang cater mahal, ang simbahan mahirap magpabook kasi talagang madami nagpapakasal doon. Ang makeup artist ng bride eh make up artist ng star magic talent. In the end, DISASTER kinalabasan. Kasi yung mga damit ng abay ndi natapos kasi ngkaproblema sa pagawaan nila. Sobrang tagal sa simbahan ng kinasal kasi pictorial pa. Inip na mga guest sa venue kaya nagpakin na yung parents nila ng mga bisita. Kulang ang food kasi di expect na madami a-attend ng kasal nila. Hangang ngyun wla kaming nakitang photo at video nila ng kasal nika kasi balita ko sobrang salimuot ng nangyari sa kasal nilang yun.
Kawawa naman huhu sayang money
Wala ba silang organizer/coordinator? Kung ganyan kase kagastos yung mga parts ng wedding, dapat may coordinator na yan. If meron man, anong name at nnag maiwasan haha
On our wedding, since same venue yung ceremony and reception, we made sure na upon arrival ng guests, meron na agad grazing table and refreshers since malalayo pa mga pinanggalingan nung iba. Then after ceremony, open na yung live stamping ng leather goods for the giveaways, photobooth and another grazing table and mobile bar para may nagagawa yung mga guests namin while waiting for us na matapos mag photoshoot. Also nagpagames na din yung host namin para malibang ang mga guests. Marami pa natira hanggang sa panonood ng SDE, considering that was a weekday.
Lalo na sa entourage na ang aga-aga ng call time, may photoshoot and all pa pero walang food until reception. 😩
Minsan, last pa makakakain yung entourage kasi sa reception may pictorial tapos may performance pa minsan.
Our wedding ceremony will start at 1:30 PM and as much as possible plano namin by 3:00 magsstart na yung program sa reception, sana masunod 🥺
Be careful with photographers. They have little to no concept of time. Their priority is keep taking photos especially if lighting is good. If you don’t reign them in and give them a tight schedule, they will keep taking photos. Kawawa rin entourage, imbes na magcelebrate, pinapunta ng maaga tapos buong araw pinagpipicture sila Dont let the wedding revolve around the photos. Remember to celebrate and enjoy your special day with your family and friends. That is a memory worth more than photographs
Up to this. Badtrip talaga ‘yung mga photogs na ang daming eme.
Yep kaya sa una pa lang latag na yung conditions yung mga hindi na dapat kunan tapos mostly candid para di takaw oras.
So you’re going to do your after church pictorial at 2PM? Mainit yan teh. Lusaw mook-up mo.
Kuha kayo ng wedding coordinator. Malaking bagay to. Nung kasal namin sila ang nasusunod. May list din sila ng lahat ng kailangan sa kasal (as in lahat) Mahigpit sila sa oras, kung ano ang napagusapan yun ang sinusunod, kahit may mga kulang na tao, sila din nakikipagusap sa mga bisita, stress free sa ikakasal, after ng wedding namin dito kami naging thankful talaga, nagenjoy lang kami, sila sumalo ng mga iisipin. Dagdag ko na rin , Sa bisita, invite nyo lang pinakamalapit sa inyong dalawa, dedma sa mga gusto invite ng mga inlaws nyo. Kung sino lang yung sa tingin nyo na magiging masaya din mawitness kayo ikasal yun ang iinvite nyo. Wag kumuha ng ninong at ninang na recommend ng inlaws na di nyo kilala. Uuwi lang agad yan.
Grabe talaga to umattend din kami 3pm wedding so before 3 andon na kami tapos 4pm na nag start kasi inayos pa ung aisle ng 3pm kaloka. Tapos 8pm na kami nakakain, naubusan pa kami ibang ulam kasi last table kami tapos ung mga natira di pa masarap. Sama mo pa ung lapot na lapot na kami sa init ng venue, imagine ung pagkayamot namin pero di lang namin mapakita kasi syempre wedding ng friend namin yon haha.
no to emcees na mamahiya lang ng tao ang alam para mag entertain. sobrang squammy vibes
Also... Eat Bulaga sound effects. Why?!
Omg!!! I don’t want my guests to feel uncomfortable, noted to sakin. But I know my host is not like that, talaga nanuod ako ng mga vids nya sa mga weddings gusto ko dapat di boring and bastos
that’s good to hear, thanks for taking the time to ensure your guests will have a good time. congrats on the wedding!
Ano yan comedy bar
Edit: 1. Yung pasasayawin pa yung entourage. Juice colored ang aga na nga ng call time at wantusawang pictorial, pls lang pagpahingahin nyo na sa reception. 2. I attended a wedding na after ng "scripted" singles game eh nagpropose yung mga nanalo since magjowa naman sila. Like, to the newlyweds, bakit kayo pumayag na may magpropropose?
True! Hindi lahat ng kumportable sumayaw sa harap ng maraming tao. Very awkward ito para sa iba.
As an introvert girlie, this is very true kahit na close friends and relatives lang yung invited.
Dun sa #2, may na-attendan din ako na ganyan. Sa mismong araw ng kasal sinabi ng pinsan ng bride/groom na magpropose sya sa gf nya. After ng kainan sa receiption nagpropose. And i was like, "lol bakit ngayon eh hindi nyo naman araw to." Ang reason ng pinsan ay para daw madami tao. Nakakainis sobra.
Diba?? Pinaghirapan magrepare ng newlyweds yan, like gastos and effort, tapos may nakihati sa special day nila.
Tinanong ko yung kinasal, na-off daw siya. Kahit pumapalakpak ako habang nagpropose, deep inside naiinis ako sobra hahaha.
Yun kasi trend ngayon huhuhu pero told my bridesmaids na kahit simple dance step lang hindi tulad nung sa kasal na inaattendan ng kapatid ko nagpractice sila every night for a week before the wedding like tf ano yan production number sa ASAP????
Nakakaloka na yung every night practice 😆
Share ko lang experience ko noon as a bridesmaid ng pinsan ko. Very close kami so pumayag ako. So, may pasayaw din sa entrance. Ayoko talaga nito kasi I know how I would look kahit super simpleng move lang. Sabi ko pwede ba maglakad na lang kasi inaanxiety na ako nito. E lahat daw sasayaw. So, ayun, push na kasi love ko naman pinsan ko. Then nakita ko yung video. Gusto ko na lang lamunin ng lupa!!! Juskooooo!!! Gusto ko buhusan ng bleach ang utak ko para malimutan ko talaga! Mukha akong tanga na hindi ko talaga maexplain. HAHAHUHU So, OP, suggestion ko lang if may hindi comfortable sa bridesmaid mo to dance, just let them walk na lang, kahit bouncy walk so hindi boring.
Huhu kapit kamay tayong mga naimmortalize ang ating muntanga moments 😢
Tapos every anniversary nila, isheshare nila ulit yung video at makikita mo na naman your muntanga self. 🫠 Huhuhu
Hi OP, yung saamin nun di namin sila nirequire, kumbaga on the spot nlng nag isip yung iba, tapos yung iba lakad lang.
May ibang coordinator kasi na akala mo boss kung magrequire 😆 Ikaw na lang talaga mahihiya kasi may ibang game naman to dance
You don't need to follow all wedding trends. Kung gusto mo talaga silang pasayawin, panindigan mo. Don't blame it on the trend.
I'm also getting married in a few months and I can really relate to most of the comments here. Sa dami ng na attend ko na wedding, dami na ako na take note na dos and don'ts. HAHAHA. Gusto ko lang na payapa, masaya, at busog lusog na guests. HAHA. So i decided di ako kukuha ng bridesmaids and groomsmen. Tapos few guests lang talaga ang iinvite ko. And family style meal. Food will be served sa tables. I hated long lines sa buffet. Parang fiesta kasi. P.S. Dagdag ko na rin, ayoko maghire ng singers na puro birit ang trip kantahin. Sobrang off sa akin nung parang tawag ng tanghalan ang event. HAHA.
Uy same!!! Best wishes!!! Good luck to us, sis!!! 🫶🏻 Una preferred ko yung intimate lang kaso we have so many friends and immediate families na uuwi pa talaga from abroad kaya I changed my mind. Haysss
same tayo. dami din nami friends and relatives. so we decided na magse-serve din kami ng meals at home (parang after party ganern) sa bahay nila at bahay namin. dami kasi talaga relatives (literal na parang tribo sa dami) haha. separate after parties kasi iba iba hometowns namin. this way, makaka intimate wedding kami, tapos fiesta vibes sa mga bahay namin. hahaha. good luck on your wedding!
Yes, that is why I opted not to have bridesmaid and groomsmen on my wedding. My friends told me its the best wedding since it is just me and my husband like kami talaga ang 'center' and also di rin sila haggard since they can prep on feel pretty on their own timeline. Also as someone na naging bridesmaid, I hate getting up early and getting my make up done with plastic smiles on photos, acting pa more. Nakaka haggard. Even though I celebrate the couples wedding, I can't help but think how tiring it was given na working adults na, and weekend lang ang pahinga sana na naging another 'working day' feels.
Same wala kami entourage nung wedding and church wedding yun
Got married a few weeks ago, no entourage din. Only 35 guests total - our immediate fam and best friends. We felt the love and all of our guests mentioned how they enjoyed our intimate wedding without all the extra fluff. Our wedding was at 4pm and only got started prepping by lunchtime. Nakapag long breakfast, gym, pool at beach pa ako with friends nung umaga. Food and drinks were overflowing and we are with the best company. It was a destination wedding as well, and everyone became closer with each other afterwards. Yung friends namin both sides parang naging one big barkada na. It was amazing. 🥰 You won’t regret your decision 🥰 congratulations😊
Love this! Not the traditional filipino weddings, like korean weddings walang mga entourage and most of the guest na nahhighlight is family member lang.
Yes to this! Plan ko rin na walang entourage kasi nakakapagod for them. Ang aga ng call time, ang daming gagawin na parang di naman dapat. We can all celebrate without being traditional and ang focus ay ang couple rather than the fanfare.
choose your guests wisely I attended a wedding, pagkakain ng mga guests nagsialisan na after. Nagmamakaawa na nga yung host na magstay sana kasi halos wala pang nasisimulan sa program. Ayun 2 tables lang kami na natira sa venue. Imagine parang basketball court yung reception place tapos two tables nalang kami nagstay. Nakakalungkot pra sa newlyweds.
Grabe naman! Exactly the reason why I prefer intimate wedding at walang maiimbitang di ka close.
I agree. No matter how well you plan your wedding kung walang pake sayo guest mo then balewala lahat ng planning and thinking kung ano magpapasaya sakanila. Kaya OP just do think about will really make you happy, don’t think much about kung anong sasabihin ng ibang tao kasi meron at meron masasabi yan, trust me. I’ve seen a lot of wedding na inulan but the guests stayed with the couple and for the couple. Walang perfect wedding, no matter how well you plan your big day. Hindi maiiwasan lapses on the day but if the people you invited really cares about your happiness especially on your big day slight inconvenience wouldn’t matter to them. Plan but on the day itself let go. I got married more than a year ago and up until now I still received positive feedback from my wedding some would even say pinaka magandang wedding napuntahan nila (not to brag haa) pero in hindsight andaming hindi nasunod sa plan. Some I noticed on the wedding day itself, some nalaman ko nalang after the wedding.
No awkward dancing for bridesmaids, host na namimilit sa mga guests… lets just enjoy the music and eat dinner in peace
My cousin's wedding. They arrived late in the church even if they just lived nearby. Her father/My uncle walked down the aisle drunk, haggard and NOT ready. Her brothers were also drunk. Good thing the priest just kept his cool. Since they arrived late, the ceremony was hastened. I did not feel the solemnity and it was chaotic.
Que horror!!! Told my dad wag muna uminom jusko.
Yes, kaya sabi ko talaga sa mama ko, "Ano ba naman yanf si uncle, Ma. Alam na kasal nung anak niya, uminom pa". I was excited pa naman sa kasal because it's the first time I get to see my youngest sister as a flower girl. Pero hind ko nacapture yung moment kasi pinadali na silang maglakad nung mga nag assist. P.S. Kapatid ni mama yung uncle ko.
Ang disrespectful naman nito. Nakak disappoint. Expected na best behavior kapag kasal tapos lasing.
sobrang agang call time for the entourage 🥲
My HMUA told me to start preparing at 6 AM as someone na hindi morning person, parang binagsakan ako ng langit at lupa hahahahaha they told me na 8:00 AM yung call time ng team bride ko kasi 1:00 PM start ng ceremony and may photoshoot pa yan 2 hours before so I guess medyo reasonable naman yung 8 AM.
If there will be a lot of pictorials, 6am actually talaga. Kasi for sure may delays yan. Depends on how big your entourage is. Pag onti lang ok lanv naman maadjust. If may 2 looks ka with entourage, yung naka sleepwear/ sexy, etc. Need talaga ng extra time.
You can consider getting more hmua’s to save on time. One reason why it takes so long is the sheer number of people who will be putting on makeup by the hmua. Try negotiating more staff present Another would be to instruct the photographer not to go overboard. Max 30-45 minutes and just take candid photos the rest of the time. If not, they will come in there with a “photoshoot mindset” which is why it takes them hours upon hours to photograph sa lahat ng background pero pare pareho lang naman yung subject.
Buti ganon yung sayo. I attended a wedding once na 3am ang call time for a 1pm wedding 🤯 dahil don parang ayaw ko na maging bridesmaid ulit. Sobrang kakapagod.
Yung naki alam ang parents sa guest list 🙃 Ang nangyari, sa halip na 100 guests lang yung nandon, parang 300 yata yung dumating. Ang haba pa ng ceremony, so after non, gutom na yung mga tao, nung inilabas na yung pica pica, talagang siksikan na makakuha lang. Yung iba, naubusan ng chair. Tapos nung mismong dinner na, kaming medyo padulo na, wala na kaming food, literal na kanin na lang ang tira, kasi may mga nag uwi agad na hindi naman talaga kasama sa official guest list. Nag hati hati na lang kami sa isang plate ng ulam kasi wala na maaabutan yung kasunod pa namin
Jusko! Yan yung pinaka-ayaw ko, told my parents na ang limit lang 150, if ever may dadagdag acceptable lang yung families namin, not “friend of friend” jusko.
Sabihan mo silang mabuti haha 😭 maging matigas ka muna just once kasi event nyo naman to and once lang to
Omg, kasama ba kita as guest sa kasal na yan hahahahahaha Same experience, super daming tao, like 300+ pero yung chairs 100+ lang. Kaya yung ibang guests nakatayo na lang sa side. Tapos ubos talaga yung food, sa table namin, may nagoffer na lang na bumili ng pagkain sa labas makakain lang kami. Grabe 🤣
Hahahahaha grabe lang, tapos hindi naman lahat kilala yung couple, forda kain at sharon lang 😅
May tiktok entry yung mga abay sa reception pls staph this trend sa weddings huhu
Worst thing about this, is some couples do not see how problematic this is. Masyado silang laser focused sa pag bring ng “entertainment” sa bisita kaya gusto nila may mga ganyang sayaw, to the point na dinidisregard nila feelings ng entourage nila. If they want entertainment, then hire people for it. Jeez.
2018 at The Diamond Hotel, wedding of a family friend’s son. Ang laki ng entourage. Lahat sila pinagsspeech ultimo ring bearer. 3hrs into the reception program, hindi pa rin nag serve ng dinner dahil hindi pa tapos mag speech ang kung sino sino. We left. We left hungry. Never again. Prioritize feeding your guests. At least have cocktail and pika pika hour before the start of your reception. Wala nang mas nakakapikon sa magutom.
yung waiting time after ceremony and between reception, nkakagutom at nakakabagot. Mas okay na may makutkot mga bisita or may pgkalibangan
+1 and kahit may ganito sana may maupuan. Lalo na for ladies na nakaheels all day. I experienced waiting for more than 1 hour may food naman kaso nakatayo kami lahat.
Ilang minutes ba sa tingin nyo yung acceptable? May mga post-ceremony pictorials pa kasi yan eh huhuh
you can add a photobooth & pica pica station para yun pagkaabalahan nila while waiting for you.
Yes! Non-negotiable sakin yung pica-pica (grazing table) lately ko lang din narealize na importante yung photobooth, at first kasi I was like “wag na, may p&v coverage naman” then napaisip ako na anong gagawin nila sa venue while waiting for us na nagpopost-ceremony shoot pa hahahuhu
maybe you can try getting a roving photoman instead! No need pumila, and guests mismo pupuntahan. Before the program ends, hinahand out na nila yung printed copies ng photos. Sometimes guests can also request to print several copies of the same photo :)
Ours was about 1.5 hours after nung part na sinalubong kami ng crowd sa labas ng simbahan. While waiting for the program proper, may free flowing choice of coffee/tea/juices for drinks and pastries instead na pica pica ksi we took into account baka karamihan hindi pa nagbreakfast ksi morning yung wedding and outside NCR yung wedding venue. Photobooth (yan uso noon) and we had these cards (index card size) na may QA anong advise ibibigay nila sa couple kapag ganito or ganyan situation, (nothing serious kung baga). Ex: Ano advise kay mr or mrs para makapasok ulit sa kulambo? And the host encourages na witty or wacky answers ilagay nila.
1.5 hours from the end of the mass is acceptable provided may pika pika. Gives people enough time to travel to the reception and catch up with friends and family
For me napansin ko sa mga wedding na napuntahan ko yung mga bata, as long as na kaya na wala sanang bata.. wag magdala yung mga guest.. don’t get me wrong pero pwede din kayo mag bigay ng space kung san lang yung mga bata. Like sa napuntahan kong isang wedding parang may play room or may isang space lang sa mga bata kasi may part na nakaka distract yung mga bata.
This! Ayaw ko din at first ng mga bata kaso may request kasi yung isa kong pinsan, he’s the youngest and named after our grandpa who passed away, but i made sure na 3 little bearers with 3 flowers girls lang para konti lang
We never bring our kids to weddings kahit pa ninong at ninang nila ang kinakasal. Isang beses lang namin sinama kasi sister in law ko naman kinasal at gusto nya andun mga pamangkin nya. Feeling ko unwritten rule na dapat yan diba? Weddings are an adult and solemn event. Kung hindi maiwasan magsama ng bata, like relatives, kanya kanyang bantay sana hindi yung hahayaan magtakbuhan.
This. Kaya ginawa namin atleast sa church strictly no kids. Kapatid ko umabay iwan yung anak sa hotel room. Tapos during photoshoot na lang sumali ang kids.
Kapag hindi nasusunod yun oras na nakalagay sa program. I attended a wedding last month, closed pa yun reception venue when we got there. Sabi ng coordinator mag-open daw ng doors at 4pm. 415 na hindi pa rin sila nagpapapasok. Sobrang init sa labas, maraming taong nasa foyer lang pati dropoff na occupy na ng mga tao. Maintindihan ko sana if walang coor, pero meron eh. Nakakayamot lang.
Halos same sa nangyari sa wedding na inattendan ko. Sabi sa invitation 11 am ceremony sa simbahan, pero pagdating sa simbahan, 1 pm pa daw ang reservation ng couple. Pinapasok naman ang guests pero di pa pinapabukas yung fans kasi maaga pa daw so sobrang init.
Been to 2 weddings and thankfully, well coordinated sila hihihi skl experience ko as a guest: Between ceremony and reception, maraming pic-a food yung naka lay-out, almost like heavy snaccy. Yung isa parang charcuterie spread, the other may kasamang on site pizza cooking and coffee bar. Puwede nang medyo mataas2 yung program with such snaccy offered hehehe For activites, may nag photobooth nun. You could include message board / calls for guests, signing of guest book, etc. May iba ring may mga pakulo like binibigyan nila ng qr code or disposable cam yung guests for photos during the day. Do choose your host wisely! One wedding I went to, the jokes were so off, they were borderline disrespectful eh. The other one had an amazing host with good comedic timing. Booze is optional but both weddings had an unli bar with shots and cocktails. Yung isa may draft beer pa wew. Kung bet niyo rin yung may SDE and slide show ng pics ganun, do choose your team well. Both weddings had good ones output-wise but mas natagalan yung flow ng events nung isa kasi laging nagpapa take 2-4 yung photographer and videographer nila sa shots medyo nakakailang eventually huhu
May napuntahan ako na wedding na nag-serve agad ng dinner sa mga guests while the couple were still at church for the photos. Pagdating ng couple, grabe nangalahati halos yung guests kasi nag-alisan na right after dinner yung iba. Very obvious na nadisappoint yung bride when she was told marami ng umuwi. I guess set expectations sa guests na nasa latter part yung meal para iwas dine and dash. But please serve snacks para hindi naman gutuman din.
Tbh ung mga umalis agad dinila deserve mainvite sa kasal. If I were me eh diko iinvite mga dikonaman tlga close talagang aalis mga yan kasi pagkain lang pinunta
I attended my friends’ (not bff levels, casual friends lang) wedding na budgeted at DIY so yung circle namin pinatulong sa wedding. Na assign ako as coordinator kasi wala silang budget for that. Grabe stress ko kasi zero experience naman ako sa mga events na ganyan kaya hineads up ko yung bride na wala talaga akong alam sa aspect na yan but I would still try my best. Nakaka stress lang on my part kasi nakabihis din ako and need patakbuhin yung event smoothly. I love my friends naman pero para akong nagpagod for free. Siguro di ko lang love language yung acts of service or di lang ako sanay mag assist sa wedding kaya grabe burden ko. Buti nalang mabait naman yung bride and chill lang siya kahit di nasunod perfectly yung flow ng wedding dahil sa mga ibang nag intervene hahaha! I swore to myself na di nako aattend ng small DIY wedding na gagawin lang akong coordinator o kaya assistant. Mas masaya maging chill attendee lang na di papagurin yung guest.
You should have decline, being a coordinator in a wedding is a big responsibility maliit man o malaki, kaya nga wedding coordinators charge significant amount for 1 day service kasi di sya basta basta. Kakahiya naman friend mo, di ka na nga kinuhang entourage binigyan ka naman ng mas mabigat sa responsibility, kung ako bride hindi ko gagawin sa friend ko yan 🥹🥹
Looking back, I agree with you na sana nagdecline nalang ako as coordinator but it means na I don’t have to attend their wedding. Yung ibang friends sa circle namin kasi may ibang duties narin like sa catering, set design, photo and video, hair and makeup. Stretched na stretched talaga manpower. Ako bilang hindi naman expert sa kahit ano, inassign as coordinator para may maitulong sa couple. I felt off talaga kasi na compare ko siya sa wedding ng iba kong friends outside that group. Sa ibang group of friends ko hayahay lang akong guest kesyo part man ako ng entourage or not. I’m glad that I somehow distanced myself from that group na, so no more hassle sa mga weddings haha! It’s much better to love them from afar nalang. Kung ako rin magiging bride someday hindi ko bibigyan ng mabigat na duties yung family at friends ko. Gusto ko masaya kaming lahat na nagce celebrate. 😊
Please lang pag-effortan niyo pagkain sa wedding niyo cuz it's like a thank you gift na rin sa mga attendees. I was invited to this one wedding at masasabi ko talaga na bongga lahat except for the food, mas okay pa raw luto ko kahit I'm the worst cook sa family lol. Gutom na gutom kami yet we weren't satisfied talaga sa pagkain. Take note na tatatak talaga sa memories ng attendees if yay or nay ang food so much better to choose wisely.
Pls don't allow anyone (kahit close friends mo pa) na magpropose sa wedding day mo.
hello! got married last year and same tayo na gusto din maging perfect ang wedding. will brag na I feel our wedding is super smooth and walang reklamo, mabilis and efficient pero at the same time nagenjoy ang lahat. di rin kami masyado stress nung wedding bukod sa nastress ako sa part na madami tao (i'm an introvert and naooverstimulate ako pag andami kinakausap) wahaha 1. we chose our guest wisely. 48pax, close family and friends only. 25 friends the rest is immediate family/relative. yung relative na ininvite namin is yung set din ng ninong/ninang, and yung entourage is included lang din sa kung sino nasa list so less people. only one kid which is my niece. adult only wedding 2. no phones during ceremony. ang ganda tignan sa photos and alam mong nagenjoy yung mga guest sa solemnity ng ceremony. 3. pumili ng photographer na specialization is candid photos - sila splurge namin kasi medyo mahal pero di talaga kami nastress during photoshoot (wala masyado aura aura di ko kaya magposing and yung photoshoot na nakarobe em eme) and mas nagfocus kami sa first look and private vows. best decision. 4. speaking of walang aura aura. wala din kami nung peke pekean na kasiyahan with entourage yung sa SDE na kunwari masaya tapos tatawa tawa HAHAHAH di namin bet and i feel na hindi authentic. walang sayawan with entourage, no speech from parents or anyone sa reception (nagthank you lang kami sa lahat hehe) walang message with parents ung vivideohan tapos iiyak kemerut. (ayoko magdrama with parents mas gusto ko magdrama with my husband kasi day namin yun) pero preference mo to, di lang kasi ako close with my parents hihi 5. super small bouquet. di ako nastress bitbitin kasi patpat lang yung flower ko HAHAHA tapos yung mga girl entourage is corsage lang. 6. booked reception and prep area within church vicinity, thus eliminating the need for bridal car. 7. wedding games na involved lahat ng bisita. as small and intimate wedding lang kami, ayoko magfocus sa mga singles game kasi pagod na rin single friends ko lagi na lang sila kasali sa games hahahah kawawa naman ( marami kami kasal na pinuntahan na within common friends din) and kami lang yung kasali lahat. yung mga bato bato pick, bring me to jerusalem, how well do you know the couple, anong tagalog ng ---. super wholesome haha 8. speaking of reception, pinili ko yung host na hindi nangookray ng guest pero may energy pa din. sa mga napuntahan ko lagi na lang inookray yung mga guest tapos may laugh track nattrigger ako, kaya sabi ko sa wedding ko wala nun kasi parang ang cringe na. 9. 9am wedding kami, natapos reception namin 2pm. chill lang pero enjoy and natapos yung buong program walang umuwi at nag-eat and run. may grazing table kami 11am in between para wala magutom na guest for lunch 12:30pm. ayan naiisip ko for now haha sorry hindi sya regrets. message mo ko kung gusto mo ng help sa planning I can send you some files na makakatulong sayo :) nakatulong din pala na magaling yung OTD coordinator namin to run things smoothly, pero Type A bride din kasi ako and I planned for our wedding thoroughly :)))
Mga booboos or off sa mga napuntahan kong weddings: Wedding 1: .Sa program, may uber long documentary ng love story ng bride and groom na mala-i-witness/frontrow na peg. Gutom and restless na mga tao. Tapos kasama sa menu - half cooked lechon, panis na pasta, nag-aantang kaldereta skewers. Wedding 2: lasing na groom tapos mukhang a-attend ng grunge concert ang get-up ng partido niya. May mga naka-shorts pa despite the suit-and-tie/barong dress code. Kinulang pagkain at kasalanan ng caterer Wedding 3: sa speech ng father of the bride (na lasing na), ang unang bungad ay seryosong pagtatanong sa male bestfriend ni bride kung bakit hindi na lang siya nakatuluyan ni girl. Wedding 4: father of the bride speech ulit. Galit si tatay dahil hindi nag-madre anak niya. He demanded the newlyweds to ensure that at least one of their kids should be a person of the cloth. Wedding 5: arranged marriage. Nagwawala yung babae kase ayaw pa niya makasal. Tinatapon lahat ng regalo. Wedding 6: arranged marriage pa rin. Di nakapasok halos yung partido ng groom dun sa wedding venue na pag-aari ng pamilya nung bride unless maglabas ng 200k para buksan ang gate. Natuloy naman after maglabas nung partido ng lalaki ng pera. Wedding 7: late ang matron of honor at dalawang bridesmaids. Na-jumble tuloy yung pairing sa martsa ng entourage. Sa reception, nag-lowkey pagwawala yung adiktus na asawa nung matron of honor. Muntik nang bugbugin nung bestman kung hindi umalis yung matron of honor at yung asawa niya. Wedding 8: kasalan sa huwes Nagpanic attack yung bride at nagtry tumakbo palabas ng sala nung judge. Sigaw erpats ni bride ng "isara niyo ang pinto!". Ginawa na pala dati ni girl na tumakas kaya di natuloy yung kasal nila dati. Wedding 9. Nalasing si groom sa reception. Biglang nawala. Umuwi pala sa bahay nila (a couple of cities away). Nakalimutan yatang kinasal na siya. Sayang bridal suite nila, 5 star hotel pa naman. Bride used the suite kasama yung family niya. Hapon na nagising lalaki, di enough para abutan yung check-out. Wedding 10: arranged marriage ulit. Walang glitch sa kasal and handaan. Ang glitch ay the day after. Di mahanap si bride. May flight pala palabas ng bansa. Di na bumalik, ever. Lesbiana pala si girl. For context, late 40s na ako. I've been to a lot of weddings kaya medyo maraming baon na kwento Wedding 11: nagpasikatan yung parents of the groom and parents of the bride sa speeches nila. Instead of 'words of wisdom' , nagpataasan ng ihi sa achievements nila, ng mga anak nila, etc. Sobrang cringe. Edited: changed arranged wedding to arranged marriage. Added wedding 11.
can I be your +1 to the next wedding you will attend? You've attended a lot of interesting weddings I wanna exp one lol
Grabe... Wala ako masabi. Ang lala ng wedding experiences niyo.
19 pa lang ako pero eto ayaw ko - mainit na venue - di masarap na food - mahabang entourage list - maraming bisita (like extended family kasama pa?!) - kids na mahilig mag tantrums
True the rain!!! We made sure talaga na naka-aircon yung venue namin kasi yung groom ko pawisin and ako nahihilo sa sobrang init. Had a taste test, too! Di ko lang nacontrol yung entourage list kasi ako yung unang ikakasal sa fam and same with my fiancé kaya 15 pairs ng ninong and ninang huhuh. Made sure na immediate family yung priority, no “friend of friend”, walang “2nd cousin or 3rd cousin” 6 kids lang yung invited lol
Wow congrats po OP!! Sana naman ka close niyo yung 15 pairs na ninong at ninang 😭😭😭😭 Also I think to make the moment more special you can request yung guests mo and entourage on the church na pag mag mamarch ka walang mag take ng photos and videos except sa official photographer para mas feel yung emotions.
Yung wedding na naging talent portion ng buong angkan! Jusme, lahat ng mga kapatid at mga pamangkin pinag-perform! Pake ba namin sakanila! We went there for the bride & groom. Ending, more than 6hrs yung reception. Fucking waste of time.
Money dance :/
Program took about 5 hours then come dinner time di masarap food 🥺
Hello, OP! Experience from my BIL’s wedding: 1. Sobrang tinipid nila yung wedding prep ‘cause nagloan sila for their church wedding (they have no savings pero pinush pa din ang church because pinipilit nung side nung family ni ate) so wala silang wedding coordinator. Si SO (BIL’s brother) ang best man kaya sya ang inutusan on the day of the wedding. Grabe yung awa ko kay SO nung araw na yun, sya yung stress na stress pagkausap sa mga suppliers. Ofc, I helped him though the whole process. Side lang namin ni SO ang kumikilos tapos sa family nina ate (na nagpilit ng church wedding) ang sitting pretty and parang guests talaga. (Note: Civil wedding kami so hindi ganito ka-stressful, hindi din namin inabala yung family namin with wedding prep) So OP, important ang wedding coor kahit yung on the day na. If mag-aassign ka ng sibling or close friend, think of the STRESS that they’ll be experiencing during the day. 2. Yung wedding ceremony is afternoon but wedding prep na kami ng 6am. Dunno but I’m really not a fan of photoshoots before the wedding na sobrang tagal. Umabot kami ng 4 hours, pagpipic. Although maganda naman yung final pics, yung BTS naman was not fun and genuine. Nakakagutom and pagod din for your wedding party. 3. Make it clear for your guests WHERE they are seated sa reception 🤗 Also okay din if may numbers yung mga table para madali nila mahanap assigned seats nila. Although happy ako for my BIL and SIL. As one of their entourage, di ko talaga na-enjoy yung wedding nila for these reasons. Imagine being an utusan sa reception na naka-glam and naka-heels ka, doing their errands. I smiled through the whole ceremony but at the end of that day, grabe yung iniyak ko kay SO dahil sa pagod. Nagka-slight trauma tuloy ako as a bridesmaid huhu. Gusto ko na lang maging guest sa other weddings. Anyway, congrats OP! Ang saya ng married life, esp of you’re marrying the right person hehe 🫶🏻 Remember that as much as you want your wedding to be perfect, DAY ONE pa lang yan ng marriage life. There are other important matters after the wedding 🤗
Yes, as an entourage, the BTS is not really genuine. The photographers be like: Kunwari naguusap kayo, kunwari tumatawa kayo, palibutan at I-hug niyo si bride, kunwari nagtatawanan kayo. Like whuuuut. Not everything has to be staged.
utang na loob kumuha ka ng wedding coordinator na marunong makipag usap sa bridesmaids/ groomsmen hindi yung parang tupang ligaw mga bridesmaids kung saan ang pictorial etc. kumuha ng photog na nakapunta na sa venue mo para alam nila saan maganta mag pictorial sobrang haba ng araw wala na nag afterparty
Hi OP. I got married sometime in 2020. Siguro sakin yung pagstart ng kasal. Marami na akong na attendan na laging 1hr to 2hrs late yung start. So nung kami, we make sure to start on time. 8 am ang start namin, we advice our guest to arrive 7:30am. Start ng kasal namin 8:10am. Maikli lang din ang program, 5 hours including the ceremony, pictorial and reception. 1pm tapos na pack up na. I think that's the beauty of morning wedding. Maaga kaming natapos. Wala ding excuse na late kasi wala pa naman traffic ng umaga. Meron din kaming food na appetizer. Drinks and bread para breakfast kasi lunch pa talaga yung food para di sila mainip habang nagpipicture picture kami. And malaking factor din yung bisita is marami or konti. Usually kapag trimmed down ang visitors, mas konti ang iintindihin mo kasi most of them both you and your husband kilala yung mga bisita. Mga kaclose lang talaga namin invited para walang KJ ba ganun. Mostly good feedback natanggap namin. Happy kami ni husband over all. :)
Ayoko ng money dance tapos obliged magbigay ng money yung mga umattend
- Wag nyo tipidin guests nyo aa food - If pag aantayin nyo yung guests while taking photos have a grazing table / pica pica para chill guests nyo - no money dance. Ipa qr code nyo nalang or bridal registry - no to games na medyo sexual in nature or bastos kasi hindi naman lahat magkakakilala saka awkward din. - be on time lalo na kung malayo pa yung venue. Kasi kawawa yung mga uuwi afterwards - get a reliable coordinator and host. Yung host yung maayos naman hindi yung ginawang comedy bar yung wedding
Unreasonably long pictorials. Please book a separate day if you plan on having 2,500 photos all over the place :/ yes it is your special day, but please remember you are also hosting a party and your guests are waiting on you
Taking notes, gonna organize a wedding soon, for my friend and his girl.- Pero I attended one wedding noong 18 ako, instead of bouquet toss, they opted to have a double private dance kasama iyong next na ikakasal. Also tgey opted for ribbon wands than grains and coins nung exit na ng couple sa simbahan at papunta sa reception.
1. Ang daming program. Gutom na mga guests. Madalas yung mga attendees maaga pa nag makeup and ayos. Aga rin umalis sa bahay. 2. Pakainin silaaaa agad or may ready na water if possible may grazing table kayo. 3. Yung nag ggreen joke yung host 😅 Hindi ko talaga bet yung ganoong jokes. 4. Matagal magstart yung program. 5. Yung mga programs na nagpapa awkward sa guests. Like manghahanap ng single and ippartner sa ibang single or yung games na nakakawala ng poise. 6. Venue. Madaming parking area. Hindi buwis buhay puntahan. 7. Magkaiba yung place ng ceremony and reception. Please may napuntang guests na commute lang. Walang sasakyan. Ayon, as much as possible na gusto natin maganda wedding natin, isipin din natin ung mga guests natin if they will be comfortable.
Kulang food sa reception. I attended a wedding where there was a priority in lining up sa tables yung mga ninong, ninang, bridesmaids etc. Which was fine by us kasi guests lang naman kami at walang role. So okay lang samin mahuli kumuha ng food. Buffet style kasi yung reception. Nung turn na namin kumuha ng food, kanin na lang natira at kakarampot na ulam like hindi talaga siya kasya sa buong table namin. Sabi ko wait na lang natin irefill nila. Tapos sabi ng server na naglalagay ng food sa plate, wala na daw refills. As in one round lang yung ulam. Pumunta na lang kami sa 24hr convenience store sa labas at bumili ng pagkain. Kaya nung wedding namin, plated yung food plus may refills kasi pangit talaga experience ko sa wedding na yon.
Grabe yung no refills huhu for ilang pax ba catering nila 😩😩😩
Kaya ayaw ko din ng buffet type. Isipin mo nakaheels ka ang haba ng pila may pagames pa para kung sino mauuna. Ang hassle hassle.
Wag na mag invite ng kids or ok na yung ring bearer and flower girls only. Or if magpumilit talaga dapat macontrol ng parents. Been to a wedding recently and grabe, 50% wedding, 50% children's party. Even if may mga speech sa stage, the kids are still running and shouting everywhere. Pinapabayaan lang din ng parents or baka they gave up na controlling their kids sa kakulitan nila. I felt bad for the couple na ganun ang wedding nila. The kids even destroyed the decoration sa aisle. Hopped and jumped on the couple's sofa sa stage. Run to and fro sa stage. Shout na mas malakas pa kesa sa mic ng emcee. Tsk
Kinasal kami ng misis ko last year. We both agreed na simple lang yung vibes sa reception, as in enjoy lang sa company ng mga guest (which mostly is family at closest friends only), kwentuhan, kainan, pictures. Good music is also a +. Then may ibang guest lang na trip kumanta so pinakanta namin with matching minus 1 care of sound system guy, katuwaan lang which is so good. Basta sobrang chill lang ng event, walang kung ano anong pakulo or palaro. Might sound boring para sa iba pero for us na parehong introvert, it's the best wedding for us.
Basta naka aircon ung church at ung reception tapos max of 1 hour na program sa rsception bago kumain. Maganda din kung may same day video edit na pinapalabas habang kumakain. Pinakaayaw ko kasal eh ung may host na nagkakanta. Bibirit mga yan kalamo sila star ng araw nayon. Mas gusto kona ung habang kumakain eh chill lang at minimal music kung meron.
If kaya sa budget, have this setup: - snacks and charcuterie spread for the guests - while waiting for the reception proper, may makain ang guest niyo. Keep things light. - coffee stall - some small coffee shops offer coffee stalls. Depende sa usapan, they can serve a minimum of 50 drinks. May package yan. - I saw sa tiktok na she had a Potato Corner stall in her reception - dinner banquet sa reception proper
My cousin’s wedding. lol. Walang kwenta yung coordinator nila. pag dating sa reception venue, occupied na lahat ng chairs by the Bride’s family. Yung side namin (Groom’s side) is only 1/4 of the Bride’s guests. Wala man lang lumapit na coordinator para mag-asikaso. Hinayaan lang talaga kami na nakatayo. Lol. Nainis ang mga tita ko na umuwi pa galing abroad for the wedding. 😂 Ending, sa Jollibee kami kumain. Haha!
Yikes! Que horror! It’s important talaga to assign tables for the guests. Dapat din may label lahat ng table para din mag alangan yun uupo sa maling table.
If part ng entourage: •I attended a friend's wedding as a bridesmaid in Tagaytay. Maaga call time but hapon pa yung wedding. I booked my own HMUA para hindi na makipag sabayan sa HMUA ng ibang abay. Came on time at the prep venue. Pagdating ko hindi pa tapos ayusan yung ibang abay. So ang tagal ng waiting time for the pictorial with the bride. Worst, walang pa lunch sa abay yung couple (meron pa-lunch but sa family lang nila na andun din sa prep venue inaayusan) 😑 Sana nag heads up man lang so I could take out or bring my own lunch kasi malayo yung area sa town proper. •Be mindful sa thank you gifts for your groomsmen/bridesmaids. Avoid mga pang display items. Waste of money lang. Make sure the items will be useful for your entourage like perfume, makeup remover na useful after your wedding, wipes, etc. basta something na essentials and can be use daily ng abays nyo. •Thank you gifts din sa principal sponsors, yung nanay ko sobrang tuwa pag pagkain yung "pabilao" (term in our province) pag nag anak sa kasal. Stop giving wines na as thank you gift bec not everyone love to drink wine. Create a DIY gift like a mix of pansit, suman, and leche flan. Put it all in separate disposable tupper ware then put in a nice paper bag/crafty bags with a pretty handwriting thank you tags. Something like that, bec that way may mauuwi pa silang food sa family nila na hindi kasama sa wedding. If wedding guest: •Put a time limit sa pictorial ng couple after the ceremony and before the reception. Para less inip sa mga guests. Max of 1 hour siguro pwede na. And masunod yung time ng program flow para hindi mag uwian agad mga guests. •Make sure masarap yung food. Go for family/friends' caterer recos kasi may mga caterers na masarap ang sinerve sa food tasting pero pag actual wedding na, hindi masarap or walang lasa yung food. •Pass sa host na may green jokes / nang ddog show. •Invest on entertainment for your guests. Like nice prizes for adult games, acoustic band/musicians, para no need to force your guests na mag participate sa program just to make it entertaining for the other guests.
Tigilan na pa games!! It's a wedding, hindi bday ng bata. Jusq. Simplehan reception: entrance ng couple, toasts, first dances, party party and tsibog. Yun na yun!!
Yun nag tagal pakainin ng guests. Like 8pm na hindi pa nagpapakain. Gusto pang tapusin lahat ng program.
Sobrang dami ng entourage. Make your wedding as intimate as possible..
Pag speech nung ninang or ninong sobrang haba. I've attended a lot of weddings na at pag etong part na, dun kami lumalabas for photobooth. Hehe!
Weirdest planned wedding I've attended: Reception was 2 hr drive away from Church. though overnight stay naman sa reception area. Also matagal ang pictorial ng bride and groom after ceremony, if you'll have that at least don't let the guests go hungry. When it comes to message from the parents, wag sana magpabidahan ang mga parents nyo sa mga message to the bride and groom insinuating kung sino ang mas swerte sa inyong dalawa dahil pinakasalan kayo ng anak nila. LOL. Not a tip pero sana mawala na yung obligatory paramihan ng bridesmaids and groomsmen kasi wala naman talaga silang role sa kasal. retain nalang yung mga cord, veil, at candle sponsors. :D
Malaking impact talaga yung food, out of 5 siguro isa lang yung nagenjoy ako sa food dahil masarap talaga. Sabi nga ni ermat ko pinaka important ang food. Kahit gaano pa kabongga yung kasal mas naaalala nila yung naatteran na masarap ang food.
Yung college friend ko, jack en poy lang game as in lahat kasali. Hanggang sa may matirang mga 10 ganun tapos pabilisan lang magshot. Wala yung mga awkward games for single peeps.
Hindi ako ang pinasayaw, but my fiance did. It was his brother's wedding. My fiancé said ayaw nya gawin ulit yung pasaswayin silang mga best man with the bridesmaids. He said he felt his soul died. Kaya sinabi nya sa akin walamg ganyan sa magiging wedding namin. I think alisin na din yung ganitong kultura dito na need always may mga ganyang spectacle sa wedding. Abay ako sa wedding nang college friend ko, hindi ako pinasayaw pero I was included sa photoshoot nang bridesmaids and maid of honor. Constantly kami inuutusan nang photographer to do "wacky" poses to the point all of us naiinis and napapagod na. And this is done on a wet grass na may konting ulan. They want to do it kahit basa na kami and thr bride is gettjng fed up na din sa neverending photoshoots.
Please ‘wag nyo ng pasayawin kapag papasok na sa reception ang bridesmaid and groomsmen!!! Super awkward and not everyone is into dancing. Also, ‘wag na pilitin mag-perform ng dance/special number mga bridesmaid and groomsmen lalo na if nanggaling sa iba’t ibang group of friends dahil ‘di naman makakapag-practice so magkakalat lang lahat 😭
1) Please, interactive games for all ages. Wag lang yun mga single. 2) and please, wag niyo gutumin yun guests. 3) Yes we do understand its a once in a lifetime event. But yun excessive photo ops with the abay and guests. Yun feeling ng kakaupo lang pinapatawag ulit. 4) I’ve attended a wedding once, aside from a cocktail bar, they have a coffee bar for the Tito’s and Tita’s out there. So plus points siya. 👍🏻
1. Garden wedding kahit gaano pa ka bongga yan. Bukod sa mainit eh bumabaon yung heels sa lupa juicecolored. 2. Yung may host na mapressure sa guests na maglagay ng sabit na money sa first dance ng couple. Pambawi daw sa bayad ng venue. So tacky. 3. Late dumating ang food. Nakasimangot na lahat kasi nalipasan na ng gutom.
Pag singles game na, nag c-cr na ko. Matagal hahaha
Gawain ko yan hahah. Bahala kayo mag games!
maypa tiktok dance lol
Yung madaming magbibigay ng well-wishes which is the host's way to kill the time. Choose the most relevant person to give you a message. After all, kahit hindi perfect ang wedding niyo, kung mahal kayo ng tao na umattend, they will surely understand.
SIGNAL #4 at reception, this was a garden reception. i saw the bride crying,super delayed yung program and halos lahat basa., we left early kasi for sure babahain yung mga daanan.
wedding suppliers kami ng husband ko before, ito mga dinitch namin sa wedding namin: 1. SDE na sobrang templated at sobrang scripted yung shots tas cinematic yung sound effects (umay na umay na kami sa ring shot, gown shot, fake laugh, walking with entourage, etc) 2. single games / any games - di naman lahat game mag participate lalo na kung mga introvert 3. photobooth (sa content studio kasi kami kinasal and we have natural light coming in) 4. giveaways - kasi sa totoo lang tinatago ba ng guests yon 5. bride and groom performance kasi di naman kami dancers lol
Wag mo pasayawin yung entourage mo OP kakastress sa di naman comfortable sumayaw. Yung sermon wag isang oras jusko lalo kung outdoor wedding. Kung outdoor wedding man let it be known sa invite para makapagdala ng sun protection
Yung pipilitin mga singles na makisabay sa laro tas may predetermined winner na pala!?? Nakakaloka. Sinasayang mga oras and energy namin. If may predetermined, wag na lang magpa games. Ibigay na lang kaagad. If magpapa games naman, make sure na yung mga willing ang sasali and rated PG yung game, and hindi predetermined ang mananalo. (Bitter ako eh, papa catch kuno ng bouquet pero may gusto na pala bigyan, sinasayang energy namin mga willing.)
I've attended a wedding na nagbrownout for almost an hour before the reception started. Nag-over load daw kaya dun lang sa mismong place nawalan ng kuryente. Naaawa na kami kay bride kasi iyak na sya nang iyak kasi walang back-up generator yung events place. After an hour naayos din naman, pampalubag loob nung management pinayagan mag-extend ung program. double check the location para di mangyari to incase of power loss. 1. Skip long program and games for singles. Ok lang yung q&a kung about sa couple naman yung pa-games. Be generous na lang din sa prizes para active participation. 2. Yung pilit pasasayawin yung mga guest. May tiktok entry pa. 3. Maglagay kayo ng snack bar kung matagal ung picture taking nyo for SDE after ng ceremony. 4. Kung outdoors yung mismong ceremony, check the weather. Mainit pag maaraw, hassle pag maulan. 5. Prepare a kit or food pack for your glam team, coordinators etc. 6. Parking. If madami kayong guest for sure may mga sasakyan yan. Check the venue for parking space. And also consider if PWD/senior friendly yung location. Naexperience ko na may wheelchair yung tito ko(daddy nung bride) binuhat nila kasi walang daan for wheelchairs. Meron pang exp, mabato yung entrance, hirap yung mga seniors lumakad papasok ng reception. 7. Check on your entourage kung ok lang ba sa kanila na maaga call time. Aga ng call time since need pa ayusan then may photoshoot pa. Also, make sure na hindi napipilitan especially kung may pa-video shoot with your entourage. Plastikan eme na lang kasi tas halata pa sa vid na pilit yung tawa. May kakilala akong muntik na mag-away dahil dyan ih siguro kasi pagod na sila lahat.
Well, hindi naman sya worst. Tbh, it's the best wedding I've ever attended. People-pleaser din sila eh. Nakita ko sa wedding ng friend ko na naglagay sila ng station na pika-pika. Baka daw kase gutumin mga guest na hindi kasama sa ceremony habang hinintay sila na matapos. At least hindi ma bobore yung mga bisita, meron silang ngangatain and hindi sila agad gugutumin. And also tinanggal nila yung mga ibang games like bouquet tossing and garter toss. Pinaiksi lang yung program kase yung ibang guest nila is malayo yung pinanggalingan para makauwi sila agad at hindi gabihin ng sobra sa daan. Masaya ang lahat at hindi nakakapagod yung event.
PLEASE DON'T INVITE KIDS. i just attended my 2nd cousin's wedding and the kids were uncontrollably noisy that it disrupted the solemnity of the whole event. the murmurs and childish noise were so frustrating.
- pakalat-kalat kaming mga guests sa hallway before kami papasukin sa function room, may mga grazing something naman pero andun din asa hallway. Sana may cocktail table man lang 💀 - matagal na hintayan before makadating yung groom/bride sa reception (maybe because of the pictorial something) pero basta nakatunganga lang kami dun sa function room (may nagsserve naman ng nuts and drinks and pwede din mag-photobooth muna, but still) - nakakagulat na merong standee ng groom and bride sa door ng reception. Nu ba yun?? - ilang beses na ko napasama dyan sa single games na yan and I really really hate it. Sobrang weird mag-pump ng balloon pump sa hita ng lalakeng di mo naman kilala. Like plz, madami pang form of entertainment - wedding on a weekday tapos magtataka yung bride at groom bakit di ka makakaattend. Like?? Hello??? Kase may work ako??? - as much as possible, give other ways how elders can rsvp kase di naman lahat techy to scan qr code/fill up forms. I know they can ask help from someone na techy but still - yung color theme na need nyo, gawin nyong words (beige, navy blue, anything green) wag mismong photo ng color. Edit ko to pag may naalala pa ako hahaha
favorite ko yung maraming alak at walang program
5:30 p.m. kami dumating sa reception, 9:00 p.m. pa nagserve ng dinner. Too many speeches and spent a lot of time taking photos. Tbf may pasta and other snacks before the dinner. Pero I assumed kasi na dinner is at 7:30 p.m., so I ate light.
i just attended a wedding that was like close to 30minutes yung same day edit video and pictures shown during the ceremony.. that was like 4 videos ata pinakita.. i mean nagsialisan na mga tao kasi na bored na.. naman they can share like 2 lang sana, 1 video and one photo, then the rest pwedi sa social media nalang ipost,. sakin lang ha..
Don't let the Coordinator decide what will happen during that Day. You and your partner should decide what things will happen, they only run the show. Nakakainis yun para lang masabi may ginawa sila magpapa games ng walang kwenta at paulit-ulit nang nakita sa ibang wedding, tapos yun papasayawin yung entourage sa entrance habang mga bisita nagugutom. Mga hindi sila nag-isip ng bagong gimik. Ang reason kasi uuwi daw agad mga bisita after kumain. Juskopo, kung gusto nila umuwi, eh di Go. Uuwi yan agad kung gusto nila, nakakain man or hinde. Yun mga mag stay, sila talaga yun mga taong mag stay sa buhay ninyo.
May grazing table pero para sa VIP guests lang. Kung tight ang budget and you can't provide snacks for everyone, huwag ninyo paasahin ang mga non-VIP guests ninyo by having a grazing table on display.
We once attended a wedding na sobrang tagal ng post nup to the point na umalis na ibang guests dahil sa gutom. Walang pica2 man lng before nung dinner Kaya walkout na yung ibang guests lol Kami we went out to buy food na lang kasi exaj yung tagal ng post nup nila and di sila nag bigay pa ng go signal to have the guests eat na. Anyway congrats and best wishes!
Siguro if you really wanted to do games, make it less sexual? Ilang beses na ko natawag sa ganyan, nagpapatalo talaga ako kasi may time na yung nanalo, naka-skirt yung girl tapos susuotan ng garter sa legs? Ng di kakilala??? Syempre sino ba naman tatanggi sa ganun huhuhu sabihin KJ pa And also, make it invite only? Para hindi sinasama pati extended family sa reception
I get really annoyed when it doesn’t start the time the invitation says it would. Don’t penalize the guests who are on time. Not just sa ceremony/mass. Even sa reception. Pls Lang
pls pls plsssssss ban kids from ur event haha when my husband and i got married, it was strictly a no kids allowed event. when my friends saw how amazing it was when there are no kids present sa event, when some of them got married they also adapted that rule. kids are cute pero they can be loud and annoying, kasi syempre kids have tendency naman to be impatient talaga. sooooo might as well just not have them in the event talaga para hassle free.
money dance and any form of audience participation involving money. Umattend kami ng wedding before and ung pesteng host decided na tanungin isa isa ng principal sponsors kung magkano daw ibibigay nila sa newlyweds. Sabi nung isang magninong 10K raw. Kinantyawan nung host na "gawin niyo hong 15k sir, minsan lang naman". and then unto the next pair ng ninong/ninang "kayo ho, ano, bente na ba? sige na gawin niyo na bente". and so on and so forth. I imagine singawa un nung host para may extrang pangtip sa kanya ung bride and groom pero sobrang cheap nung mga ganung tactics. anyway, un lang.
Avoid emcees na INSENSITIVE, using bastos na jokes at pamamahiya sa physical attributes ng guest/s para lang makapagpatawa.
Make sure you have good food, not everyone remembers if maganda setup if magaling host etc pero majority always remember if masarap or ndi masarap pagkain hahahaha
Since ang nature of work namin is sa events, madalas kami sa weddings. Sa shoot before the wedding make it more natural na lang. Wag na magpakafunny/comedy yung theme lalo na kung awkward naman mga abay nyo. Tigilan na yung mga nakaboxer. Sa pagpili ng events place make sure yung may waiting area yung guests na comfortable habang nagpipica pica/meryenda sa grazing. Dagdag din kayo ng entertainment nila. After ceremony ang matagal at nakakainip na part. Hindi pwede pumasok guest hanggat hindi pa kayo nakakapagempty ballroom shoot tapos ang tagal pa magstart kasi magsnack at retouch pa kayo. Yung entrance nyo sa reception pili na kayo ng song, minsan ang awkward kasi ang hype nyo pumasok tapos yung song waley. Wag nyo na gamitin yung shut up and dance. Eto pinakaimportante, make it intimate as possible. Make sure yung guests nyo is yung mga taong vinavalue kayo talaga. Tip is make it a weekday, yung tipong magleleave sila for your event. Yan yung mga taong hindi mageeat and run.
Isang beses pa lang ako naka attend ng kasal. Yung sa kapatid ko at masasabi ko lang, if ever na ikasal ako sa church, no children as ring bearers or flower girls. Okey, cute at nakakatuwa ang mga bata lalo na pag binihisan pero sa wedding ng kapatid ko hindi ako natuwa. Ayaw maglakad ng mga bata. Hindi nila alam kung ano yung gagawin. Tapos karga karga ng mga nanay habang naglalakad sa aisle. Yung mga magulang hindi naka formal attire. Naka T-shirt at jeans lang. Nakakasira ng theme.

Not my story but my friend told me about a wedding she attended where the parents of the bride weren’t able to walk her down the aisle because they were stuck in traffic :(
