For your honeymoon look up or google COSTA RICA.... ITS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, BREATH TAKING AND ROMANTIC PLACES IN THE WORLD & im not exaggerating, lol =) LOOK IT UP
Hi Judy! Congrats!! just relax everything will be great! :) you look beautiful btw :D i love ur eye make up! Benji seems like a nice guy and you guys make such a sweet couple! (i was your subscriber before, but i lost my old email password blablabla.. yeap) so i wish u the best! good luck! and keep us your youtube fans update! :)
my brother had the same problem about the guestlist but he and his bride went to a different, cheaper food place and didnt have to cut the guest list. hope that helps! this is so exciting!!! i love these videos! :D
my parent's wedding was great i want to relive that day and it was so fast to plan my parents had time they had da wedding at my auntie's hause. it was kinda easy
About trimming your guest list, how about having a laid-back, get-together event/party for family and friends after the honeymoon? That way, for those relatives who couldn't come to wedding, they can find out first-hand from you and Benji all about the wedding and honeymoon. My sisters did this when they had to trim the guest lists too. =)
a couple of weddings ive been to they had an open ceremony but they set a certain amount of seats for the reception and the guests had to rsvp a head of time and they didnt allow children to the party.
I had the bride's instruction manual (in french bec I'm from belgium) and it is very funny! And some of the tips are really helpfull!
For the gests, I invited all our family and closest friends at the dinner, it was like 45 euros and then I had like 230 guest at the party at night... Can you do that un the USA? Bec. in Belgium, it is something that you do...
Hey Judy, I helped my best friend plan her wedding back in Europe and do you have the same format in the States where you can also invite guests just to the party in the evening (after the meal)? That way you can invite everybody yet not have to pay for them all lol! xx
its always exciting and exhausting when it comes to planning the wedding i just did mine n phew im glad everything went the way i planned with out my cousins help i wouldn't of pulled together the best wedding i could think of :)
but keep patients and go with both ur choices :) everything will be worth it at the end
I made my own invitations, you can buy the "card" stock at any craft store, I printed them out on my home computer and I had a girlfriend comeover one night and we attached bows and sprayed them with glitter, BAM beautiful invitation. What would cost you hundreds cost me fifty total.
Enjoy every moment of this, it's going to be by so fast! And let Benji help and decide on stuff, it's pretty fun to see what they come up with.
We decided that our friends and family were more important then having a big formal wedding. We cut down our 3 course meal to a buffet. We also went really simple with decorations. Also remember that at least 1/4 of your guest list won't make it.
Check out Cinderellas Closet in Edmonds, it is the cutest little shop with an amazing staff and dresses!
the way i cut my guest is is by cutting out children so that eliminated people who couldnt get someone to watch their children..sounds harsh but it also prevents alot of running children knocking things down lol
@santanal1 Don't forget that children also talk and cry during the reception!! i just went to a friend's wedding 2 weeks ago and, boy oh boy, there was a crying baby while the father of the bride was making a speech!! i was annoyed...just imagine how irritated the bride and groom were!!
My cousin got married last week and he stated that only adults were allowed in their reception. That made a lot of people not go because they had children.
Another thing he did was that he set up the wedding for a friday. Many people were busy working that they were not able to make it so his rsvp was a bit low and he paid i believe 40 dollars a plate which is still expensive, I think. Many people cook themselves or have family memebers cook that way you only pay for service
hope everything woks out for you, my cousins got married she saved money by shopping at David's bridal, for the whole wedding party, check out the website.
it's so exiting to follow your "wedding process" or how you would say it :b
please post a lot more of those videos with your dress, hair and make-up - and i'm so courious to know where your going on your honeymoon, so please tell that too :D
Oh..you look adorable with red lipstick, honey. Have fun planning your wedding. I remember my wedding.....I had so much fun. The checklist thing really does help....otherwise, you're going to be all over the place. Trust me on that note!
My sister got married 2 years ago, she wanted 300 people we do have a huge family, but everybody wants to go to the wedding (including friends), what i fully recommended to do is to think about people that was with you in the good and bad moments, which people you can't do a wedding without and people that you don't think they may be important for you and your fiance to be, like friends you haven't see in a while and stuff like that, my sister ended up with a 180 people wedding. good luck :)
love the update...i wonder if i can wear red lipstick. not all can wear it. but it looks super good on you :) what are the many pictures you have on your lil tag board behind you? would love to see what they are.
Our wedding is next September.. It's really hard to cut the guest list.. However, our venue only allows us to have a max of 290 guests with no dance floor. We have to take out at least 5 tables to get our dance floor. We limited it to friends who invited us to their weddings and friends that we still keep in touch with. As for family, we left that up to our parents to work out...
when I got married it was VERY STRESSFUL to cut the guest list however if you haven't talked to people in the last 6 months they don't make the list! :(
Good Luck Judy! It is ALLLLLLL worth it in the end even if it's just for ONE day :)
i live in toronto.. for a typical wedding in for my family was 100 per person... im gettin married in june.... but in costa rica. way cheaper less stress
$45 per head seems pretty average. .I live in florida and got married 2 years ago and we paid about $42-$45 per head.. Make sure to invite only the people that you know will come to the wedding.. the worst feeling is to see empty seats at your reception! I had a big filipino wedding and we had about 225 guests which was very pricey so we put a cap on the bar which saved us a lot of money and everyone was still able to drink! Good luck planning.. it'll all be worth it in the end :)
I had to cut my guest list quite a bit. The final count was 300!! What we did was all our family and close , close friends we invited to the wedding and reception and then we invited everyone and I mean everyone to the dance so they all can be a part of our wedding.
Congrats! I am so happy for you! I just got married a year ago an it was sooo hard we wanted a big wedding also and when we saw the prices on the plates we were like oh no from 280 we went to 150 it was just too expensive and were so sad because we didn't want people to get mad at us for not inviting them but they need to understand it's hard. So what I did is a wrote a card to everyone I wasn't able to invite saying why I wasn't going to invite them and they all responded very positive and the
My family is mexican so what we did so we wont have to cut anybody becuz us mexicans love partys we decided to ask familys memebers to help anbd in return they will put on the inviation as to what they brought and stuff. like we each had on efamily memeber help us buy something like the cake, my aunt did that and the muci my uncle paid that so thats what we did the only thing we paid for out wedding was bridal gifts!! thats it it was a mazing how how familys helped us
I got married 2 years ago and I had to cut my list just keep it close family... like if you have a far far cousin or uncle that haven't talked to in years then i just decided not to invite them cause if i haven't seen them for that long you probably wont see them after the wedding and most likely won't come to the wedding. Someone told me that if you haven't talked to them in 6 months then they are probably not close relatives and you know its actually very true. Have fun planing it!!
I recommend the Knot Wedding List of Lists (or something like that) - not only is it a checklist of what you need to do, but it also has a list of questions and things to do when you meet with vendors (like what to ask the photographer, what contracts should also include). It's been the most useful thing so far!
so happy for U both Judy and learning from my wedding experience make sure u do not stress too much don't want to end up like "bridezillas" lol but I know U seem too nice to ever be like them...just take the plans day by day and it will all work out also a suggestion if it's possible try to include all of ur family and close friends if there is a will there is a way usually at happy events occurring others can get there feelings hurt when others may tell how great it was and so on & so forth!
$45 dollars per person is actually REALLY cheap. My wedding is next July and the venue we picked is $82 per person and that is actually cheap compared to other places we checked out. Weddings = NOT CHEAP lol!
u look gorgeous in this video! i love ur hair and shirt and make up and lip stick! So exciting to see everything come together for the wedding! Cant wait to see u guys all dressed up :D
I got married in the Middle East n we have huge weddings, I had a fairly small wedding compared to the weddings over there but a big one compared to weddings here. I cut my guest list n people were very offended. ur not going to please everyone, there's bound to be an upset guest, lol Just remember it's ur day n u can do whatever u want. It's one day that flies by n just remember don't stress out!!! When things get out of hand with planning, take a break n breath! <3
most families here in hawaii especially filipinos' actually have a lot of their family members & friends help prepare the foods for parties. we have huge parties with 300+ people :) my mom is a chef and she and 10 other people prepared all the food for my grad party which there was 300+ people in attendance. we had mahi mahi, shrimp alfredo, prime rib, shoyu fried chicken, salads, rice and a bunch of other stuff. it was way cheaper and everyone loves getting involved for such a great celebration
Oh! By the way, I got my flowers done at COSTCO! Yes, Costco (being Filipino, something had to come from there, right?). The person who did the bouquets there also did weddings. My flowers were gorgeous for hundreds of dollars less than a normal florist, and she was way more flexible and willing to negotiate prices. The only downside is you will have to have someone pick them up instead of getting them delivered. Definitely look into it though :)
my older sister has been engaged for almost a year now, she has postponed her wedding about 2 times. She got engaged on christmas eve, then wanted her wedding the next august. that didnt happen. and now she wants it this January but she has yet to do anything. The only thing she has is her dress. I think I need to go out and buy her that book with the checklist b/c she is just procrastinating like crazy!
FYI.... Some places you can have more people as invited guest and can have a limited amount of people for people that are actually going to be on time to eat. that's what we did for my sisters wedding. 200 eating guests and 500 total invited

i didn't even invite the estranged part of my family to our wedding! they were upset, but like you said weddings are expensive and if I haven't talked to you or seen you in over 7 years why should I invite you? ya know? just be careful who you cut because people will get angry! btw congrats!
congratulations, i planned mine in three months and it wasn't easy, it was a small wedding of 70 people, we only invited close friends and close family, the list was supposed to be of 200, as you can see we cut a lot, lol, anyway its stressful but you will enjoy it, good luck
I love that you're taking us on this journey with you, I'm learning along too.
Best of luck, girl, and congrats to the both of you! =D
<3 <3 <3
PS Maybe some people can attend the ceremony part, and even fewer can attend the reception?? Ek, I don't know but please let us know what you plan on doing and how.
Then the reception is the NEXT day. Its so much work Judy! I can totally relate, even though I'm not even getting married!
I think the most important part for keeping your guests happy, is the food. You need to have good food. and a good DJ. I've been to tons and tons of weddings (indian weddings) and the thing I remember is food and the music. Did I have fun?
Although it may be different for you, try thinking about what you remember the most about a past wedding.
Weddings are so stressful! I'm only 19, but we are planning my sister's wedding. Let me tell ya, an Indian wedding is EXTREMELY stressful. We counted, 300 family members alone, so the total guest list is going to be twice that, or even more.
The thing is though, for Indian weddings, not everyone whose invited shows up.. but out of respect we have to invite them? Anyways, the wedding celebration starts 5 days in advance. So we have to feed guests for about 6 days.
haha... I already got my own big binder that I started for one of my homegirls. teehee.... I love wedding stuff! My boyfriend's older sister got married and did all that within a month of being engaged... lol. that was so crazy but she got it all together quite nicely. can save on renting dresses for the bridesmaid if you're paying for their dresses and such.
Judy, you could cut costs on food if you do the buffet style dinner. I know some may look down on that but in the end everyone's fed and they'll forget all about the food once the dancing starts! Good luck on the wedding planing..
I planned my wedding in 6 months. I got married the week after I graduated, so my final dress fitting was the weekend before I took my finals - it was CRAZY! So if I can do it, you can too. Don't get too stressed and work yourself up in too many details - it'll all work out one way or another :)
As for the guest list, unfortunately, you WILL offend some people; it can't be helped. I am Filipino too so I had TONS to invite. But ppl will move on and understand cause weddings are expensive!
We invited 400 ppl to our wedding and we still have ppl making comments on how they werent invited. So no matter what, so ppl will get feelings. Congrats on the engagement!
even though my husband and I are already married, we just had a justice of the peace wedding. I still want a formal wedding, so I'm planing (all over again) and I have purchased a binder with pocket page protectors so I can put magazine articles and other things in there for ideas. That way I can make it more personal.
I got married in August and I agree that the guest list was the worst.. I started out with my must invite list and then went on from there.. If it was someone who I have not seen or will not see I did not invite them.. they all understood.. believe me you will feel worse than them.. they will be happy that you are happy.. and yes everyone will understand !
I am so excited for u guys...Are you going to save money and not hire makeup artist and hairstylist? Please do tutorials on your makeup, hair, and fashion for your wedding...Ohh, are you planning for just 1 gown, or more for reception??

Bridal Bargains is awesome in cutting corners and saving some moolah. It was the most useful book i read when i planned my own wedding. If it's still around, theKnot.com was a handy tool to find vendors in your locale and getting advice from other brides-to-be in your area. a great support site too where u can vent amongst others going thru it. Good Luck on your planning!!

Aww I feel like I'm one of you best friends or something as stupid as it sounds because i been following you (not to be stalkerish lol) for a long time and now youre all engaged and now im gonna be able to somewhat share your wedding plans and stuff with you. awww congrats girll. youre gonna be a beaaautiful bride!

I helped my cousin with her wedding.. Imvite family and friends u know for a long time.. for the privitr wedding.. after the wedding wait a few weeks and trow a wedding party for friends and guests that where not invited to ake them feel great
i really recommend guam as a honeymoon spot! it is one of the most beautiful tropical places. the sunsets alone are worth the money, i think. plus, their hotels are amazing. especially the sheraton (which i haven't yet gone but heard lots of good things about) and a bunch of others. it's like a mini-hawaii but better imo.
I remember when my brother and sister in law got married, they had a decent amount of people, so they got to spend time with everybody. Sometimes TOO many people are invited and you don't even get to say hello to them. The older that I get, the more inclined towards a smaller wedding I am. Thanks for sharing the planner, seems like a life saver!
Judy @the end of your ceremony, u have to remember that people will always walk out of there with full stomachs & still complain about how they didn't like this or that about your wedding. U ARE PAYING for this event. Don't feel bad about cutting people out. I agree with Kassi90's suggestion.
But, I still want my invitation ;)
JK
My best advice for ur wedding day is smile ALL OF THE TIME: people will be snapping shots of u ALL DAY AND NIGHT, whether u are looking @ the camera or not :)
45 a person? I have to pay 65 a person! If I chose a premium time then it would be 85. Oh Judi, remember to scout photographers and figure out if you'd like a videographer as well.
ah it's so weird i didn't even put it together now, but you got engaged right around the time that my bestfriend did. they're also planning their wedding in august (the 6th). so that's kinda neat. i'm going tell her to check out these books!
I agree with kassi90. I think it's important that you share your special day with people that KNOW yours and Benji's love story. Why is it fair to you if people are gonna be there that have no idea how you met, how long you've been together, etc. Don't feel pressured to invite lots of people. If you have to think twice about it, cross them off the list. Sorry, I'm a little cutt-throat that way. ;)
Keep it simple. If you are paying for the wedding yourselves I would suggest inviting the family and friends that are closest to you both and that you are sure will attend. For my first wedding we invited over 200 and only a little more than half showed up. For my second wedding we only invited our nearest and dearest and the day was perfect... I guess that's why I call marriage number one the "practice wedding". I got it all wrong the first time. :)
you should check out theknot.com. they have a lot of resources for a bride on a budget. Plus they have a lot of pictures for ideas. I'm not getting married anytime soon but I wanted to be a wedding planner when I was 15 years old. :) Don't stress Judy. Have fun!

$45 per head seems pretty average. .I live in florida and got married 2 years ago and we paid about $42-$45 per head.. Make sure to invite only the people that you know will come to the wedding.. the worst feeling is to see empty seats at your reception! I had a big filipino wedding and we had about 225 guests which was very pricey so we put a cap on the bar which saved us a lot of money and everyone was still able to drink! Good luck planning.. it'll all be worth it in the end :)

I had to cut my guest list quite a bit. The final count was 300!! What we did was all our family and close , close friends we invited to the wedding and reception and then we invited everyone and I mean everyone to the dance so they all can be a part of our wedding.

Congrats! I am so happy for you! I just got married a year ago an it was sooo hard we wanted a big wedding also and when we saw the prices on the plates we were like oh no from 280 we went to 150 it was just too expensive and were so sad because we didn't want people to get mad at us for not inviting them but they need to understand it's hard. So what I did is a wrote a card to everyone I wasn't able to invite saying why I wasn't going to invite them and they all responded very positive and the

My family is mexican so what we did so we wont have to cut anybody becuz us mexicans love partys we decided to ask familys memebers to help anbd in return they will put on the inviation as to what they brought and stuff. like we each had on efamily memeber help us buy something like the cake, my aunt did that and the muci my uncle paid that so thats what we did the only thing we paid for out wedding was bridal gifts!! thats it it was a mazing how how familys helped us

I got married 2 years ago and I had to cut my list just keep it close family... like if you have a far far cousin or uncle that haven't talked to in years then i just decided not to invite them cause if i haven't seen them for that long you probably wont see them after the wedding and most likely won't come to the wedding. Someone told me that if you haven't talked to them in 6 months then they are probably not close relatives and you know its actually very true. Have fun planing it!!

I recommend the Knot Wedding List of Lists (or something like that) - not only is it a checklist of what you need to do, but it also has a list of questions and things to do when you meet with vendors (like what to ask the photographer, what contracts should also include). It's been the most useful thing so far!

most families here in hawaii especially filipinos' actually have a lot of their family members & friends help prepare the foods for parties. we have huge parties with 300+ people :) my mom is a chef and she and 10 other people prepared all the food for my grad party which there was 300+ people in attendance. we had mahi mahi, shrimp alfredo, prime rib, shoyu fried chicken, salads, rice and a bunch of other stuff. it was way cheaper and everyone loves getting involved for such a great celebration

Oh! By the way, I got my flowers done at COSTCO! Yes, Costco (being Filipino, something had to come from there, right?). The person who did the bouquets there also did weddings. My flowers were gorgeous for hundreds of dollars less than a normal florist, and she was way more flexible and willing to negotiate prices. The only downside is you will have to have someone pick them up instead of getting them delivered. Definitely look into it though :)

Then the reception is the NEXT day. Its so much work Judy! I can totally relate, even though I'm not even getting married!
I think the most important part for keeping your guests happy, is the food. You need to have good food. and a good DJ. I've been to tons and tons of weddings (indian weddings) and the thing I remember is food and the music. Did I have fun?
Although it may be different for you, try thinking about what you remember the most about a past wedding.
jotilalli 1 year ago
Weddings are so stressful! I'm only 19, but we are planning my sister's wedding. Let me tell ya, an Indian wedding is EXTREMELY stressful. We counted, 300 family members alone, so the total guest list is going to be twice that, or even more.
The thing is though, for Indian weddings, not everyone whose invited shows up.. but out of respect we have to invite them? Anyways, the wedding celebration starts 5 days in advance. So we have to feed guests for about 6 days.

I planned my wedding in 6 months. I got married the week after I graduated, so my final dress fitting was the weekend before I took my finals - it was CRAZY! So if I can do it, you can too. Don't get too stressed and work yourself up in too many details - it'll all work out one way or another :)
As for the guest list, unfortunately, you WILL offend some people; it can't be helped. I am Filipino too so I had TONS to invite. But ppl will move on and understand cause weddings are expensive!

i really recommend guam as a honeymoon spot! it is one of the most beautiful tropical places. the sunsets alone are worth the money, i think. plus, their hotels are amazing. especially the sheraton (which i haven't yet gone but heard lots of good things about) and a bunch of others. it's like a mini-hawaii but better imo.

I remember when my brother and sister in law got married, they had a decent amount of people, so they got to spend time with everybody.

But, I still want my invitation ;)

I agree with kassi90. I think it's important that you share your special day with people that KNOW yours and Benji's love story. Why is it fair to you if people are gonna be there that have no idea how you met, how long you've been together, etc. Don't feel pressured to invite lots of people. If you have to think twice about it, cross them off the list. Sorry, I'm a little cutt-throat that way. ;)
rocknrollsweethart 1 year ago 2
Keep it simple. If you are paying for the wedding yourselves I would suggest inviting the family and friends that are closest to you both and that you are sure will attend. For my first wedding we invited over 200 and only a little more than half showed up. For my second wedding we only invited our nearest and dearest and the day was perfect... I guess that's why I call marriage number one the "practice wedding". I got it all wrong the first time. :)
