i don't know if u like them :star: just wanna share,, d gn2 skin,,,

Thanks for sharing Prime, they're quite nice and elegant-looking :) kaya lang mas gusto ko yong native-looking talaga. Madami talaga dito sa Cebu, murang-mura lang tapos, mas maganda kung ikaw na mag-accessorize. May nakita ako na penholder na ang design ay bahay-kubo, it's made of coconut shell. Cute talaga. :D

To all Filipinas who got married in the US, did you give giveaways to your guests? If you did, what did you give? How popular are wedding giveaways there? And to those who are still yet to get married in the US, do you plan to give wedding favors?

I had been planning to purchase native stuffs for this occasion but I don't think I still have enough time to do this. Gusto ko sana i-personalize ang giveaways kaya I wanted to make them myself. Ok lang ba kung madami-dami native stuffs dalhin ko? :whistle:

Hi Riz,

It's really a good idea to buy native items there in the Philippines for your wedding favors. I was planning to do that too before flying out but since I was traveling alone I did not able to. When I was in Manila I saw this native hand-painted fan made of bamboo and I really wanted to have that as my giveaway for the wedding. Unfortunately as I said I did not able to because I was bringing a lot of things with me during my flight. So we settled for those small favor tin cans we bought at Michaels & other knick-knacks. Well, it was fun but I really wished the wedding favors we gave was something that reflect my Filipino tradition...
