Free Guide & Checklist
From 12 months out to the day itself, with the arrhae, candle-cord-veil, and sponsor details other checklists leave out.
Filipino weddings carry rituals that most planning templates skip: the arrhae, the candle, cord, and veil sponsors, the principal sponsors, and a reception program with more segments than a Western wedding. This checklist includes them in the phases where they actually need attention.
Peak season in the Philippines runs November to February. If your date falls there, treat every phase as one month earlier. Work top to bottom and tick items as you go; progress is saved in this browser.
The names builder holds your sponsors and entourage with roles and pronunciations. Give the printed copy to your coordinator and your host so the ceremony cues and reception introductions are right.

Venue, church, photographer, and host book out first on peak dates.
Ask principal sponsors early; ninongs and ninangs need time to plan travel.
Submit names, roles, and pronunciations to your host now, not the week of.
Add each principal sponsor, secondary sponsor, and entourage member with their role and how to pronounce their name. Your coordinator uses it for the ceremony; your host uses it for introductions.
