Kasi ang "8" ay bilog, which many people associate with money/prosperity. Tsaka pag inihiga mo yung number 8, magiging symbol na siya ng infinity, signifying an endless union of the couple.

Iniiwasan naman ang mga numbers such as 1 and 7 dahil pababa ang shape, malas daw sa buhay.

**BlueBimmer** · October 7th, 2005 10:40 AM

ano menu ang pinili nyo? buffet style or ala carte/per table (8 dishes)?

**theveed** · October 7th, 2005 12:40 PM

Kami ala carte, hassle buffet, tatayo mga tao etc... pag ala carte nakaupo lang mga tao and di magulo...

well, 80 lang kami nung kasal namin kaya mas may sense kung ala carte...

parekoi, ilang dishes per table sa kasal mo? (kasama rice, desserts etc.)

**mhelskie** · October 7th, 2005 02:12 PM

kami buffet pinili namin, d ko sure kung ilang ulam, basta alam ko present lahat...may fish, vegetables, pork, chicken and beef. Ung mura lng kinuha namin, then baka magpasok na lng ng lechon pangreserba(bayad na lng corkage). 300 guests kami, geeessshhhh, magastos!!!

**theveed** · October 7th, 2005 02:28 PM

Hmm dont remember, sa Annabelle's Timog yun... Teka may sabaw, salad, some appetizer thingy, main dishes, dessert... yun lang ata, yung pinaka basic pinili namin kasi.

mas controlled ang spending, environment pag ala carte... at isa pa, kami nagipon at gumastos hehe pipili kami ng food na gusto namin :P

kakauyam mga buffet pare-parehas naman sineserve dami pang na sasayang...

If I remember correctly, 4 plates lang sumobra samin, which ubos ko naman in 1.5 days heheeh.

**mrpink** · October 7th, 2005 04:12 PM

ala carte is the way to go ... una gusto ng mga magulang wife ko buffet ... halos pareho lang naman gastos per head ... pero nung wi-neigh namin pros-cons ... ala carte panalo ... yung pagiging orderly lang at hindi magulo mga tao .. panalo ka na .. chinese lauriat ba plano ninyo? .. or yung traditional na buffet / ala carte style ?

**BlueBimmer** · October 7th, 2005 04:31 PM

malamang chinese lauriat..sa mga napuntahan kong chinese receptions mdyo walang buhay e, eat and mga usual activities then alis na..

btw

ako sa mga gumastos sa sariling wedding/reception hehe

.. feeling ko mas mahaba kasi yung time spent in bringin out the food dahil family style eating .. hindi katulad sa regular buffet or ala carte .. so ang laking time allotted for the eating pa lang .. by the time tapos na yung eating .. pagod na yung mga tao dahil mga 4-5 hours na sila kasama ninyo since church pa .. pansin ko lang sa mga ibang napuntahan receptions .. once na tapos na kumain yung mga tao .. uwian na .. lalo na sa mga matatanda dahil pagod na nga .. dito maging important yung host and entertainment .. kelangan ok yung program para ma-entice mga tao to stay ..

BB,

imho, dati strict sa white, but nowadays, di na po masyadong sinusunod ang white sa car (may floral decoration naman ito pag-ginamit)..... maski na rin sa bridal gown and entourage......

it would be nice kung may theme or color motif kang susundan, pero kung wala, okay pa rin.... let your imagination run wild, do not restrict yourself sa traditional. marami kang mapagpipilian.

also consider yung location ng church as against the location ng reception. baka traffic papunta from church to the reception. kung maiwasan yung open air reception, gawin sa hotel, restaurant and the like.... ayaw ng mga lady guests sa open air, kasi baka ma-spoil ang kanilang total appearance pati ang kanilang make-up.

keep in mind, the comfort of your guests esp. your ninongs and ninangs.

oops, humaba na yung reply ko lol. hope this helps...

bb,

oops, baka gusto mo ng mga tips (pangpa-swerte at mga kasabihan) for your wedding? email me your internet addy.

Sa akin people choose to stay.

1. They can swim after wards if they want. [ I rented the whole resort plus around 8 rooms ang kinuha ko plus the nipa hut cottages.
2. Medyo kilala yung Band na nakuha ko
3. May guest ako na medyo sikat at medyo madami din artista.
4. Beer and wine is free flowing at ang pulutan bahala sila kumuha.
5. Close family friend ko lang imbitado pero umabot nang 300 guest sya.
6. Karamihan nang guest ko hindi oldies. hehehehe

Sabi nga nang asawa ko buti nakaya ko gastusan yun lahat di nya alam kilala ko lang yung may ari nang resort.

**theveed** · October 7th, 2005 05:56 PM

ang pinaka ayoko sa buffet yung pila.

just imagine a bunch of people so well dressed tapos nakapila sa kahaba haba na pila hawak pinggan para lang kumuha ng food.

parang sosy na cafeteria ang dating.

More or less lang naman ang haba, depende na lang kung ilang courses yung meal tsaka kung gaano kabilis mag-serve yung mga waiters.

We had a wedding sa Mandarin Makati, civil ceremony with only 70 guests. We were actually ahead of schedule, so ok pa pagdating sa reception. Hala, nung nagse-serve na ng lauriat, unti-unting bumabagal yung dating ng pagkain. Eh 7-course meal yung handa, kinukulit na namin yung head waiter na paki-bilisan. Ang siste pala, kinulang sila ng waiters kasi may kasabay na wedding reception sa katabing ballroom. Naging behind schedule na tuloy kami.

After the reception and cocktails, tinalakan ng husto ng bride yung head waiter. Eh abogado pa naman si babae, nag-threaten na magco-complain sa management ng Mandarin dahil napaka-inefficient nung head waiter nila.

**BlueBimmer** · October 7th, 2005 06:30 PM

one pissed off lawyer bride, hirap yan hehe

i'll go with lauriat nalang, mdyo ayoko na ata magtheme sakit sa ulo..a good motif nalang cguro..with lotsa flowers etc..activities nalang kelangan ko para di naman boring ang reception..
