Baka may bagong kasal dito o nagpplano ng kasal, pakishare naman ung nagastos niyo including foods, gown and suit, p&v, hmua, venue, coordinator(kung merun), etc. Pakishare din Kung may suggestions kayo para mamaximize ung budget, around 150-200k kasya ba yun para sa overall na gastusin? I want to have a nice wedding but i need to be practical kasi ipepetition ko din h2b ko and i need $$$$ for that. Hope you can help me out here. Thanks!!
Church - It probably will cost 10-15K (including the flower arrangement and wedding seminars, wedding fees, etc)
Reception - You can rent a garden or a oasis-like places for as low as 50-60k for 80-100k (including the food, venue arrangement, etc - but not sure for the flowers. It might be depending on the discussion)
Gown - Your gown itself is already costing 15-25k excluding your bridesmaids dress, ring bearer, best man, and other "abay". But recently, I saw ads saying 25k for the gown, souvenirs, invitations and other wedding paraphernalia. Try to search for it! Also, I know that Divisoria (Tutuban mall) is the best place for wedding gowns, there's the cheapest. So why don't you try to visit there?
Invitation - If you haven't got a package (like what I mentioned above), ofcourse you'll be allotting money for the invitations. For 60-80 guests, I think 50 invitation cards is enough. and it might cost you 1-2K (invitation cost depends on the paper and design used - but the typical is ranging 15-25pesos).
Video/Photo coverage- If you have your own camera, just ask one of your relatives to take charge. But if you really insist having one, you can contact videographers and I think it costs from 15k and above.
Cake - Yes, I think 5K is enough for 3-5 layer cake.
Others - yes, allot an extra 20-50K if you can. Especially for the reception, you might miscalculate the guests and charge you more. So better that you're prepared.
But I'm pretty sure that you're 150k is really enough to have a decent and nice wedding.
By the way, why don't you look for a all-in-one or jampacked events management for wedding? I think it around 40k and above including the host, flowers, arrangement, etc. Just to avoid the wedding jitters, try to look for one and have a canvass.
Have a happy wedding and best wishes!
