We have tried finalizing the list of the entourage but my excited Ate Jovi seems to love adding new names to the list. Hehe.
Spent a bit of time yesterday downloading possible designs for the gowns of my ladies (the guys already finished picking out the design of their costumes, what we lack right now are their sizes...) and showed them to Tom last night. Apparently he had some stroke of genius and so edited some of the colors and then this came up:
And oh, that's not black, that's midnight blue. We'll just have to look for the right boutique or something which can give us a bargain for these. We don't have a lot of funds, as you all know, so we basically have to scrimp on areas where we can.
Hmm, on other preparations, we're still canvassing for the best venue for the reception. By "best" we mean - relatively cheap, nice ambiance, delicious food, and clean surroundings. So far, what I know is we're targeting 100-120 persons for PhP 55,000 - PhP 60,000. I think that's just about justifiable, given that we'll try to negotiate out on some parts of the package that we won't avail of, right? Like the bridal car, souvenirs, etc...
And speaking of souvenirs and wedding favors... Tom's trying to talk me out of fussing over these souvenir thing, but I still fuss about it in my mind - silently at that. He doesn't want expensive ones and he also wants them to be ready - I mean retail and ready to go. I, on the other hand, want them really cheap but personalized. Darn. I mean, I wouldn't want my guests saying, "Ah, their souvenir? Umm, figurine. That one o... karbon..." ... Or something like, "Ah, a tiny candle..." Ugh! Call me a bit crazy, but I really don't want my guests thinking like this.
So here are ideas that, given I can find good suppliers, are really cheap:
- a really tiny cutesy native handwoven basket, with nicely packaged flower seeds in it which our guests can plant themselves and watch grow, and revel on the nice flowers they may get afterward;
- a cute test tube with incense sticks inside; and,
- so far these are just it. Sorry.
Got to go, have to think about the online gift registry we're planning. Cheers!
