The color or the design Ladies are particular about color combinations.They will make sure that the flowers will perfectly match the dresses of the bride’s maids and the flower girls and that the small flower worn by the wedding host is in perfect combination with the whole design. The souvenirs Most Filipino brides make their own wedding souvenirs to give them away.They will buy the material and make the souvenirs themselves.They will spend their precious time to make them very attractive to their guests.They will be satisfied when their guests say,“Wow,I like it.” To them,it’s worth the hard work. The wedding invitations To prepare the invitations is a stressful job for the bride and the groom.They will start with the listings of all possible guests.It’s stressful because if their budget is good only for 50 people and the expected guests on the list is 100,there is a problem.Filipinos think their friends and relatives will feel bad if they do not receive an invitation;whether they can attend or not,they are expecting an invitation.Usually,the couple will stretch(尽力使用) their budget for the extras just not to disappoint friends and relatives. |
