The Cost of a “Traditional†Wedding in the Philippines Should you elect to have a traditional weddnig in the Philippines (in other words, a reception, fancy dresses, an exchange of vows in front of visitors, dancing, etc.), you’ll want to plan ahead for the expense. While it’s tradition in the U.S. for the parents of the bride to pay for the weddnig, in the Philippines, it’s very likely to be the western fiance9 who’ll be footing the bill. That’s you.So, what should you budget for, and how much? You’d do well to ask your fiance9e what she’d like before planning anything. She might want a simple weddnig instead of an extravagant one. Then again, she might want rose petals and gold coins to litter the pews. Who knows? Ask her. Then ask her if she knows a Filipino weddnig planner, or at least someone who has helped put a Filipino weddnig together before. Visit the ASAWA forum, or one like it, and read what others have had to say about the costs associated with their weddnigs. There’s a wealth of information there.A weddnig and reception in the Philippines can run anywhere from $ 1,000 to $ 5,000, U.S. (50,000 – 250,000 Pesos), with a median of perhaps $ 2,500 U.S. (125,000 Pesos).No matter what you pay, you’ll be getting a deal, since comparable weddnigs in the U.S. would cost four to five times as much, if not more.Here are some items you might be expected to pay for:1. Reception dinner facility rental (restaurant, community hall, etc.)2. Reception dinner and drinks3. Transportation to and from reception (jeepneys, buses, trikes, taxis, etc.)4. Reception gifts5. Reception band, singer, or DJ6. Church rental (or Community Hall rental) for weddnig7. Transportation for everyone to the weddnig8. Flowers and decorations9. Band and/or Singer 4. Invitations10. Wedding gown (custom made costs more than off-the-rack)11. Bridesmaid dresses (custom made costs more than rental)12. New clothes for bride’s mother (dress) and father (barong)13. Photographer14. Vidographer15. Wedding Cake16. Lechon Baboy (A big roasted pig – pretty much mandatory, and you may need more than one, depending on how many people you entertain)17. Wedding and Engagement rings18. Hotel rooms for yourself, the bride’s family, and certain guestsFor more informations about the cost of a traditional weddnig in the Philippines. Just click the link below.
