On Hotel Preps and Da Benkoley Bus...

The big day is fast approaching!! We booked the hotel for the bride and groom's wedding preparation place.

The Bridal entourage will be checking in at Manila Intercontinental Hotel Makati.
Bride will be using the Presidential Suite and additional room booked for the family members.








The groom will be coming from Fraser Place Suites in Makati. We booked a 4 bedroom suite and it is indeed was a great find! :)







And another great find.. Da Benkoley Bus! hehe :) well actually this is being rented by Avalon Rent A Car. We just decided to hire a big transpo to accommodate the guests that will be coming from QC and Makati. This will save them a lot of hassle as well as having all the entourage on the venue on time :)



Ang lapit lapit na! nagkakanightmare na nga ako eh! hehe :)

Cake Topper Galore :)

Finally! we got our very own cake topper!!! :) although a bit disappointed because i dont look like me.. :( maybe just a bit of resemblance.. buti nlng jon looks more like him :)



cake topper is made by MINI ME :) [www.isthatyouminime.com]
cant wait to put it on top of that wedding cake!!! :)

on wedding paraphernalias...

Only 3 months to go.. im starting to get deep into the wedding details..

I've decided to put placecards on the tables to prevent "uninvited guests" :) also to ensure safety and security of the event (some 'scammers' are often present on weddings)

here's the placecards for VIP tables :)




and the guests' tables...

plus i've made meal vouchers for my suppliers to help the caterers identify them :)



ang lapit na ng wedding!! so little time left... God help me! haha!
