Scouting for venues and caterers..

The search is now ON!

Finally got to talk to future FIL last night.

He wanted these 2 Chinese restaurants, but Fiance disagreed! Hahaha..

He wants us to compute and 'present' to him our findings: whether its cheaper to get a venue + caterer or a hotel (which has a package altogether).

Hmmmmm....

I'm now looking into designers also.

I'm shocked at the prices! 6 effing figures!! YIKES!!

Photographer: Booked!

I AM SO HAPPY.

The feeling is indescribable

I think I've never felt this happy!!

Hahahahaha!!

I can't wait!!!

Look at Pat Dy's works.

Tell me what you think!!

XOXO

Generous budget

So far, with my friends' wedding preps - I've been noticing that they've been given generous budgets! Isn't that the best?

That's one of the coolest things ever!

I wish we can discuss the budget soon!!

Cross your fingers for me!!

XOXO

Guest List

Fiance and I are now making our guest list.

This is to know which venue to book.

Future MIL said that we need to have a number, before we discuss with future FIL the plans.

So... we're making THE list..

Future MIL was nice enough to inform me and Fiance that their guests (MIL and FIL) are.... 332

That not including Fiance's friends, Fiance's brother's friends, Fiance's sister's friends.

Mine? I said about 250-260. But for allowance, I might just say 275. That's already including my friends.

XOXO

Checking venues

Checked the photographer that I like - Still Available!

As for the Venues and capacity:

Makati Shangri-La - maximum of 900 guests - Booked
Edsa Shangri-La - maximum of 800 guests - Waiting (3rd)
Crowne Plaza - maximum f 1,200 guests - Available
Mandarin Oriental - maximum of 500 guests - Available
The Blue Leaf - maximum of 750 guests - Available
One Esplanade - maximum of 600 guests - Booked (paid)
Gloriamaris Greenhills - Available
Century Seafood - maximum 960 guests - Available

Fiance is sort of leaning towards getting an events venue rather than book a hotel for the reception. He says it might be cheaper. But for me, I think it's kind of a hassle - I mean you'll need to book all the suppliers, it's not as convenient as it would be in a restaurant or in a hotel right?

Hmmm...

House Hunting..

Yesterday, Fiance and I went house hunting.

After we checked out The Blue Leaf pavillion (we sort of crashed Claudine Barretto's party without knowing it) We walked around the venue (outside) looking in - I found it strange that there were ABS-CBN cameramen - so when I thought of the name of the celebrant - I told Fiance 'Parang party ata ito ni Claudine Barretto' and when we looked again - we saw her, at the buffet table. Hehehe...

So, back to house hunting - we saw 4 houses.

House #1
It was very spacious - although I didn't like the interiors - they used weird colors - but that can be repainted. The rooms were quite big, that is why Fiance liked it.

House #2
I love the feel of a 'Glass House'! There were glasses everywhere which made the house look big. I liked how they used glass instead of lights to light up the place during day time. Nice idea.

House #3
The floor plan was quite odd but it works!

House #4
Fiance said I will like this house because the walls were all painted white. Well, true - but the rooms were not that spacious. Fiance is kind of keen on having a huge master bedroom.

Anyone knows a house for sale? Brand new? Semi-furnished or bare? Quezon City area (New Manila, Sta. Mesa Heights, Banawe area, SFDM area) Contact me at myweddingpreps@yahoo.com

Theme, Color, Motif

I am so clueless on these things!

I have no idea yet, what I want!

But there's something that I want...

To be told the budget and the venue.

So I can freaking start the planning!!

Well, Fiance's family is odd - they do things last minute. And then go on blaming one another for the delay and the creases and cracks that will show up on the wedding day. Lots of fun right? To them maybe, but for me and my family (we plan ahead and hate to cram), unnecessary headache and drama!!

Haven't they learned anything at all?

Sigh...

XOXO
