As for guests it's 100 people. It's been trimmed down to the bones kung baga. It's great when people are willing to help out pero sobrang dami ang relatives who has less. Ay oo can you recommend food choices pala. I am not really familiar with the traditional food choices for weddings. For me kasi, soup, 2 main entre's and dessert is enough. It's traditional in the Philippines to have plenty main dishes. Dito 2 main dishes like beef and chicken with steamed veggies is enough. Hi Gail,

You can do most stuff DIY (anybody can do DIY, you can get ideas online, your friends can help out to make it easier), and your friend can ask nalang her entourage to purchase / use their own gowns as long as pare-pareho lang ng color / shade para kahit papano maganda naman. For food, if you can't get a caterer who can fit within the budget, you can always just pick a "theme" that can make the reception less formal and your friend can serve food she usually serves in casual parties. You'd be surprised that sometimes budget weddings are more fun than those where couples spend thousands of dollars. :) @Tina: I think doable naman yun, lalo na less than 60 people lang bisita.

I'm talking of people who only make Php7,000 per month cannot afford to spend a whole lot of money on a grand wedding. I think that because of these lean times, people have to start thinking of starting traditions such as smaller/more intimate weddings. Kasi dito sa US 60 people is a big crowd already. Hi Gail,

Gail, we're in the same boat (budgeted wedding and carefully planning to make it appear more than its worth). :) Just adding info to Tricia...Ask local printers in your area for embossed printing. It would be around P400-P1000 for 100 sets of 2-3 pages of inserts with simple cutting (die-cutting would entail added cost). Great blog, truly inspirational!
