 PANDEMIC NEW ADJUSTMENTS & STANDARD TIPS

1. Number of guests – depends upon the executive order (EO) released by your
respective LGU’s, so this # of guest depends upon the EO rule, refer to it.
Ok? – on Gatherings & Events it also depends on the size of the venue na gusto
nyo i-book, so usually on some areas like naka MGCQ OR MECQ eh will allow
5 to 10 to 25 persons only policy yun po yung per head count, meron ding
consideration sa per visual count like 30% to 50% Venue Capacity, so example
pag 100 pax yung regular capacity ng isang venue so meaning you can invite up to
30-50 persons. How about the suppliers? It’s another arrangement

2. Protocols & Permit – same as usual pa rin po sa nakasanayan, as much as

possible lahat ng guest at suppliers eh may facemask at face shield at all times
sa prep, sa church o kahit sa reception, ayus lang tanggalin yun kapag meal time
na, social distancing must be strictly observed at all times, iwas muna dapat sa
shake hands and beso-beso at yakapan (inform your on the day organizer and host
to always remind guest about this, mas ok po kung may alcohol at sanitizers kayo
sa entrance sa buffet at kada lamesa or you can buy mini alcohol bottles then
distribute it for everyone, yung iba naglalagay talaga ng anti-covid 19 pantry for
all para dun nila kunin yung alcohol and mask and shield nila. Sa permit naman po
depende rin po yun per LGU if ire-require sa venue or sa event it self – so
check the EO of your town.

3. Executive Order – LGU – one of the most legit source that gives answer to
all your questions & confusions about events/gathering rule, recommendations and
restrictions, also visit your legit-official city/town Facebook page because surely
 it will give guidance to everyone about the EO – refer to events and gatherings
section…

4. Suppliers – during this hard time, always be mindful of your headcount, as a

client you have the right to tell your suppliers that as much as possible iwasan
nila din sa part nila na magsama ng madaming tao sa group dahil sa aside na nag-
titipid eh nag-iingat din kayo, mas better pumili kayo ng supplier that can supply
many needs at the same time, example yung cake maker mo o caterer at supplier
din ng pica-pica. Yung photo and video mo isang team lang, yung gown supplier mo
eh nag me-make up din para tipid ka sa headcount – did I make sense?

5. Items that you can sacrifice or remove – since pandemic and nagtitipid
kadalasan sa kasal nowadays, di naman masamang maging practical, so to make
things fast may mga items naman sa wedding na kaya naman na kahit wala lalo na
pag intimate, example ok lang kahit wala nang invitations, i-vitual mo na lang para
di ka na mag-ikot2x; mahawaan ka pa ng covid kaka-ikot mo. Pwede naman na wala
na ring souvenir, photobooth na lang mag-eenjoy pa sila basta social distancing ha,
pwede naman 1 layer lang yung cake di gaya ng dati na 3 – 5 layers, tapos wag
na masyado marami abay makakatipid ka sa make up at bulaklak at outfil, basta
anything that will help you cut budget lessen it or remove it, common sense po
yan, anything na napapansin sa malayuan at sa actual na nagbibigay ganda eh
mahalag example gown mo, photo and video, bulaklak at decoration yun po yung mga
mahalaga, pero yung mga malilitiit na bagay na pwede naman wala eh baka pwedeng
I sacrifice muna. Be practical pandemic naman.

6. Should you go intimate? – why not? Find a smaller venue if you have limited
budget, so people will understand that “oo nga pandemic nga pala” di masamang
 maging praktical noon pa man kahit wala pang pandemic, sa ngayon mas ok na
immediate family lang muna para kung magkahawaan madali mag contact trace. Sabi
nga nung mayor ng davao “wag ka na mag invite ng mga plastic kasi gastos lang
yan. You can be wedded naman kahit walang abay o kahit 1 pair lang ninong at
ninang nyo.

7. Items that you should never sacrifice – give importance to things that lasts,
yung habang buhay n’yong pagyayamanin, ex. Photo & Video hanggang sa pagtanda
nyo maki-keep nyo yun,. Walang pangit ng angle sa magaling na photographer,
besides may media team na di kamahalan na mahusay check nyo lang mga past
outputs nila, also ensure na masarap food sa reception kasi yung satisfaction ng tao
nasa tiyan at mata yan, sa small details you can always do DIY may mga youtube
guide naman at references sap interest take time to scout tapos madami kayo ma
bibili sa shoppee.

8. Are Kids allowed? – refer to your LGU’s EO andun talaga yung sagot, also
yung church and reception venue po eh may rule sa ganyan, so refer to them.

9. Prenup Locations – sa aspect na to aside sa EO LGU refer din po kayo sa

rule ng Regional EO at sa IATF rule and declarations kasi, sa prenup we should
consider locations, so sa locations consider po natin yung boarders kung open ba o
may restrictions, or tawagan po yung spot kung may mga special needs po sila like
swab test, medical or any related demands due to pandemic, or may mga policy sila
like limited number of persons or limited hours of stay, so bago tayo puumunta sa
location, ensure natin na ma-check natin lahat prior traveling para di sayang.
10. Reception Program Changes – rule of thumb on this po is to maintain social
distancing and avoid contact; plus consider your location’s curfew hour, wala naman
pong masyadong nagbago sa program ganun pa rin naman po pero may mga nabawas
lang like yung single games lalo na sa intimate hindi na sya ganun ka applicable,
yung money alap dance iniiwasan lang po na i-pin yung pera sa couple para po wala
pong direct contact at walang naglalakad, instead yung maid of honor at brides
maids ang mag-iikot, less movement more safe po sa event, so rule of thumb lahat
po ng portion na may excessive movement iwasan po kung maari or as much as
possible i-maintain po yung minimum protocol observation para po sa ikabubuti ng
lahat. Yung mga small things na kaya naman na wala like single games, paagawan
ng candy sa bata, mob dance, bukasan ng regalo eh pwede naman po na wala, yung
pinakamahalagang ritual lang po talaga sa kasal are the following
a. Gratitude dance
b. Couple dance
c. Cake slicing
d. Wine toasting
e. Messages
f. Dinner the rest po nun pwede nyo naman po isacrifice for everybody’s
welfare, para rin di na masyado gabihin kasi may curfew pa. but if all your
visitors are surely not being exposed to the said virus plus may saliva or
swab test pa sila ok lang na normal reception po kayo. Basta again ulitin
ko, alterations sa new normal program is due to everyone’s welfare and
safety wala pong ibang purpose yun. Pwede nyo sundin pwedi hindi basta wag
kayo mahuhuli

11. Alcohols & sanitizer – always make these items available sa preparation, sa
church at sa reception by all means, ito po yung tool na talagang makakatulong sa
 lahat para maka-iwas sa covid19, mas better gawin nyo na tong souvenir,
magpamigay kayo sa lahat.

12. Church Changes – di na po lahat ng church nag a-allow na magpa-march sa

aisle, but di ko nilalahat, ask your local church especially those catholic
churches kasi may standard memo po sila per location depende na rin po sa EO at
IATF declarations. So better ask your church kung sino lang po ang allowed at
hindi allowed mag-lakad sa aisle, one thing ask them if allowed ba or not and
senior citizens, minor de edad at mga bata, dito sa location namin kasi talagang pa-
iba2 so check nyo diyan sa inyo. Para sa on the day ng kasal walang sisihan.
Lastly ask your church if required pa ba na may facemask & shield during
ceremony and march, and also check the pictorial rule if allowed or not or if
minimal delegates only; dito kasi samin bawal yung maramihan. Tapos wag po kayo
papaya na itermal gun yung bride pagpasok sa revealing ang pangit sa video

-these tips and recommendations are based on our

organizing experiences since 2020 new normal events,
nawa’y nakatulong po at magamit nyo on your decisions
and recommendations. Then after reading these items
you can now start your planning!!

TIPS…
Hindi ibig sabihin na nakalagay po yan jan eh need nyo yan lahat, uulit
ulitin ko po, wedding horoscope po ito, gabay lamang, may mga bagay na di
naman ganun ka-importante, isipin nyu lang po kung anu yung pinka priority,
kung may mga terms kayo na di maintindihan i-google nyo lang you decided
to avail this checklist kasi gusto nyo magtipid so be it bigyan ko kayo ng mga
some tipid examples and some hacks para maging successful preparations nyo..
1. Kung may kakilala na pwede mahiraman like ng kotse para gawing bridal
car manghiram lang wag na magrent or wag na bumili.
2. Kung sa tingin nyu di naman ganun kahalaga wag nyu na isali, i-disregard
nyu na agad, always focus sa budget and always focus sa isa’t-isa
3. Wag na wag kayo magpapadikta sa gusto ng iba na di nyu naman kaya
panindigan, always visit your budget. Wag yung bongga kasal ngayun
lubog sa kautangan bukas. Mali yun.
4. Wag nyu imbitahin ang buong barangay, piliin nyu lang yung mga taong
malapit sa inyu at most common aside sa pamilya nyu. Yung iba jan
makikikain lang tapos aalis. (reality) ma-mimintas pa
5. Kung pwede may picapica o snacks station talaga yan ang magliligtas sa
inyu sa peligro maniwala kayo sakin, kahit wala na yung mga bar bar at
ibang effects jan basta may picapica kahit basic lang kahit kayo pa bumili
tapos ipa arrange nyo lang
6. Para makapagdecide kayo kung sino ang kukunin nyung supplier visit 1st
yung FB page nila kung type nyu ba gawa nila o hindi, always visit reviews
section, ask for rates, then i-meet nyu, tapos wag kayong mag bihis
mayaman para makatipid kayo kuyng may alahas kayo hubarin nyu
muna, kung may sasakyan kayo sa malayo kaya magpark – never make
the first offer mag-ingat sa mga tanung na “magkano budget nyo?” “san ka
connected mam” – do you get me? alam nyo nay an
7. Always ask feedbacks from past clients, kung negative feedbacks
naman makukuha nyu wag nyu sila ijujudge agad baka naman may
struggle lang talaga nagkataon lang sa event nay un, everyone deserves
a second chance
8. Do not invest too much on things na di naman ganu ka bigat yung impact
like yung cake baka pwede 1 layer lang, like invitation wag na yung
masyadong mahal itatapon lang yan, as an advice invest on photo, video,
food and decoration yan ang major2, but again always visit your
budget – take your time
9. Always avail promos and sale malaking bagay yun, abang-abang.. may
mga suppliers na mahusay pero mahal naman meron ding mahusay pero
sakto sa budget, take your time. May mga bagay na pwede mabili sa
murang tyangge like taytay, Baclaran , divisoria o pag high-tech marami sa
shoppee at Lazada.. lahat ng need nyu andun.
10. List down your guest kung gusto nyung sumaya sa kasal nyu
11. List down your songs para mas ma feel nyu na kasal nyu
 12. Be yourself, focus sa love, sa isa’t-isa wag nyu sila isipin, always visit
your budget, need more tips? Madami sa youtube sa goodgle goodluck
best wishes ahead

OPTION #1 - 1 VIP TABLE

2 lay outs samples are the horizontal vip table and parallen vip vertical tables.. pero..

Note:
This is just a sample, floor plans and lay outs are always based kung anung physical attributes ng venue ng
reception. basta importante entrance is wide wag masikip, vip sa gitna o sa harap, couple and family may
sariling table, may dance area or dance floor, always know where your LCD projector will be placed, your
cake sa left o right goes opposite with your souvenirs & others to give balance, always plan where to put
your technical group including the media mahalaga yun. Tapos yung buffet and cocktail station nyu di
alanganin at masikip,. So always double check walk flow and traffic .. ok walang specific lay out depende
pa rin po sa trip nyo..

SEAT PLANNING – To organize a well seated guest, mas ok na may seatplan lalo na sa small weddings,. Pero
pag big events di na sya masyadong applicable, sigurokaya sya hanggang 150 to 200 naka seat plan.. actually di
nyo naman need I seat plan lahat focus lang kayo sa vip at secondary sponsors the rest pwede na free seated or if
you want tohave specific individuals to surely to be seated together seat plan is the key so you assign your
seat plan accordingly, make a master list, ask the venue kung ilang seaters ba tables nila, always inform
the venue or decorator how many ninongs and ninangs abays and family you have para may intended
seats talaga. Ok? If you know the seating capacity per table mas madali mag-plot ng tao sa seats.. gets
na ? so ex. If 8 seaters ang table then assign 8 persons dun then make it table 1 names under ok? Alam
ko gets mon a ikaw pa goodluck
