Do you want your event to stand out from the rest and even create a mark in history? Below are a few unique and awesome ideas we have compiled just for you.
Give elegant and personalized invites personally.
The giving of invitations simply formalizes everything that they need to know about the event (e.g. time, venue, theme, and others). It erases all their doubts or questions in mind. All they have to do is refer to it and be there during the event.
Give your guests elegant and personalized invitations. By this, there has to be something in the invite that distinguishes each from the others. Some of the great ideas are featuring a picture of you with the guest, embossing their name using different font style, inserting a memorable item, and attaching a music chip (plays one of your favorite songs as a couple upon opening of the invite).
When it comes to the distribution, however, personal delivery is highly recommended compared to email. Exerting extra effort to reach out surely delights and excites your guests. Also, this assures that they are able to read or browse through the invitation (they might have thousands of emails everyday that they might not notice yours).
Create a grand, celebrity like entrance.
There is nothing more welcoming than preparing an entrance of impressive theme and grandeur for your guests; having their eyes wide open in amazement and their hearts beat faster in excitement. Here are a few awesome tips to achieve this:
- Make use of various gate styles (mostly arch), lighting effects and decorations (e.g. fresh and colorful flowers, crystal chandeliers, and illuminated banners).
- Roll out the red carpet. A curvaceous pathway can be very stylish.
- Position a few photographers at the entrance. They are to take pictures of the guests as soon as they get out of their car and walk towards the venue.
- Designate a photo shoot area wherein the willing guests can show off their glamorous gown and pose like a top model.
With this scene, your guests will feel like celebrities and might even thank you for this rare opportunity.

Wedding receptions should never be boring. Instead, they should be festive, fun, and exciting. Here are ten ways to make this happen.
- Welcome guests with a band.
Hire a band with the most upbeat drum roll to welcome their arrival up until they reach the entrance. To add up to the festive mood, there should be performers in front of the band, grooving to the music, preferably Hawaiian or reggae.
- Announce their arrival.
Once they start to find their seat, stop the music and blow the trumpet to signal the announcement of their successful arrival. Acknowledge their presence through a great introduction and wait for their confirmation.
- Women should be seated beside men.
After the announcement, escort each to follow the seating arrangement. Put their name on the seat to make sure they stay there.
4. The men will give three roses to their seatmate.
When everyone is settled, call all the men for a short instruction. Tell them to get three roses and give these to their seatmate. Surely, this will put a smile on the women’s face, others may blush, and even a couple of them will feel a connection or chemistry.
- Conduct an eating contest.
You need to plan this together with the wedding reception’s provider of catering services. Request them to prepare five special dishes for the eating contest.
During the reception, ask five men to volunteer. Surprise the winner later on with a kiss or a handshake prize to whoever they like.
- Let the couple ask intriguing questions to some.
Prepare 10 queries. Go around finding a good prospect. Let the person choose one question, read it aloud and give an answer. Here are a few great questions:
- Who is your crush here?
- What is your ideal date?
- Why are you single or married?
- How to love someone?
7. Let the women find the bouquet instead of tossing it among them.
Ask the bride to hide the bouquet anywhere in the function hall. In the count of three, all the women will search for it.
- Request everyone to join a short mob dance.
One of the best ways to energize your guests is through a mob dance. In the middle of the program, request everybody to stand up and follow your dance step. Choose funny actions or weird poses to awaken their minds and laugh.
- Get an impersonator.
Get all the people excited about a celebrity coming. Hire the best impersonator in town.
- Plan a prank.
With this, the bride and the groom are to showcase their acting skills. They are to act like they are fighting over something. When all are bothered about it, play a rap song with the actors singing their confession.
So, what do you think? Through these ideas, you can prevent boredom to set in at the reception. Each of the guest will be alive, awake, alert, and enthusiastic.

We always look forward to attending parties and other special events to meet friends and family and to taste the delicious food that the host serves. Pinoys have grown accustomed to serving and eating lechon and other grilled food like pork barbecue. Most of the food served during parties are high-carb, high-cholesterol and low fiber so eating them occasionally is okay but eating them a couple of times a month is not really healthy. We should watch what food we eat specially during the month of September where most birthdays take place. To help remedy this, why not offer something new and healthy with the upcoming party that you’re hosting? Serve healthy food at your party.
Cholesterol, trans-fat, sodium, and glucose—too much of these elements are bad for the health. And it’s not easy to get them out of your system. During celebrations, we usually tend to use more oil and salt to make the food tasty. And more often than not, most main courses are chicken and pork with a few veggies on the side. We often forget to serve fruits and natural juices and instead opt to serve carbonated flavored drinks which contains a lot of sugar.
A great way to start a party is to serve fruit appetizers. Go for watermelon, mangoes, and apples. You can also serve fruit salad to your guests instead of the usual cake.
To help you plan a healthy party menu, we have prepared a list of heatlhy food that you can choose from.
These are better and more nutritious, and your guests will truly appreciate them.

Rice is a very important food that must be present in every lunch table. But instead of serving the usual white rice, go healthy with brown rice instead.

Brown rice tastes almost the same as white rice.

A Spanish-influenced Pinoy dish, beef pochero is delicious, attractive, and at the same time healthy. Beef short ribs, which is used in the dish, contains a lot of potassium, Vitamin B-12, and moderate amount of Vitamin B-6 and Iron. Potassium is good for the nerves and muscles, as well as Vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-12 and Iron are also essential for our blood, while B-6 aids processes in our brain. It also mixed with a lot of vegetables and tomato sauce, a good source of Lycopene.

This dish can be a source of a lot of nutrients because of the chicken meat and cheese. The chicken breast is already a nutritious meat option with potassium, protein, and other nutrients. While cheese is a good source of Calcium, Vitamin A, and vitamin B-12. This is a creamy and rich food for a main course.
4. Grilled Prawns with Lemon Butter Sauce
Always include sea foods in your party menu for a complete package. Sea foods contain essential nutrients that can only be taken from prawns and fish.

Celebrating The Birth Of Your Newborn
Our topic for today is baptism in the Philippines and how we celebrate it. A newborn baby is a very important gift to a family. This is because this tiny little being symbolizes the strong love of both parents. And because of cultural traditions, welcoming the baby into the world is a significant event to prepare for Filipinos.
Baptism is very important to the Filipino culture. Since the greatest number of the population is devoted to Roman Catholicism, the christening of a newborn child has been an essential part not only to the tradition but to the baby’s being as a whole in the future.
To celebrate this one of a kind event, there are few important things to remember. Here are some of them:
- Take note on the schedule. Churches have various schedules for baptismal events. It is better to register a month or even at least three weeks before the exact date. Upon registration, legal documents should be presented such as birth certificate of the child and marriage contract of the parents. This can be either photocopied or original depending on what the church requires. Then the registration form must also be filled up honestly. Some churches require some fees depending on the number of sponsors.
- Pick out the best sponsors. The number of godfathers and godmothers does not need to be a lot. Pick those that are closest to the family. Some parishes limit the number of sponsors to preserve the solemnity of the event.
- Attend seminars. Commonly, churches require both the parents and the sponsors to attend a baptismal seminar. This is to educate them on the prospects of upbringing the child. As parents, they have the biggest responsibilities in nurturing the child’s development and guide him or her to his or her own path. As godfathers and godmothers, looking out for the child and supporting her in every step he or she makes are their obligations. These things are tackled during seminar sessions.
- Organize the event properly. Invitations should be properly distributed, and must contain all the details for the ceremony, including the proper dress code. Some parishes are very strict about this aspect.
- Choose a budget-friendly reception. If parents are in a tight budget, there are many restaurants or venues that offer packages for baptismal events. They just have to make sure that the place can accommodate all guests comfortably. There may be instances that the number of invitees will exceed, so being mindful of the costs is also an important thing. The souvenirs can also be handmade or can be bought at shops that offer great customization deals.
Having a baby is one of the best blessings a family can have and welcoming a sweet little child in this world will mark the start of his or her beautiful journey of life.
