Free Guide & Checklist
For christenings, 1st and 7th birthdays, 50th and 60th celebrations, anniversaries, and reunions in the Philippines.
Christenings, 7th birthdays, 50ths, and reunions are planned in less time and with less help than a debut or wedding, and that is where things slip: the ninongs are not introduced, the slideshow plays to an empty room, the lola being honoured is in the kitchen. This checklist keeps the moments that matter on the list.
The phases assume about three months of lead time for a celebration of 50 to 150 guests. Skip items that do not apply to your event; a christening lunch and a 60th birthday dinner share most steps but not all.
The people-to-honour builder is for the godparents, grandparents, or the celebrant's closest people who will be named or asked to speak. If you book a host, this is the list they will ask for.
