Wedding Favors (Giveaways)

[shining_angel 0]

hello girls,

i got my native give aways sa quiapo..daghan didto mga guitar nga keychain, bahay kubo nga very cute, bottle nga may jeepney sa sulod, etc. pero ang akong gipanghatag kay napkin holder made of coconut. tapos hatag sa mga in-laws kay buri nga bag, abaca nga placemats, etc. i distributed them in my two luggages, and some are also in my carry-on bag.

happy shopping for give-aways

Hi shining daghan imo gidala? Thanks for your tips, I really appreciate it.

hi riza,

mga 50 siguro to kabook. pero kay ako man giputos sa mga clothes..para dili ra kaayo obvious ba. pero ang mga abaca nga bag mga 5 siguro kabook. tapos kay klaro man kaau ang mga bags kay naa man sa pinaka ibabaw sa luggage, the lady from the airport asked me why so many..i told her na ipang regalo ko sa inlaws. she just smiled and let me go

kung gamay ra sila like keychain, i think u can distribute them in ur two luggages dili man obvious..pero kung mga giant things like nigo....kadako ana unya 100 kabook? pastilan! nagdala pud ko ang SARONG for my sisters in law. Malong pud ambot kung kaila ka ana..nalingaw sila sa malong.

Hi Riza,

Actually I brought 50 pieces of my wedding invitation also made of that native material because I sent some to the Philippines ( I wanted them addressed from here ) and the 30 pieces giveaways but I didn't have any problem in the customs, in fact they didn't bother to open my luggages ( they went thru an x-ray though) . My POE was San Francisco. I had no problems during my local flights in going to Florida as well. I placed them in between my clothes.

Goodluck and best wishes.

Thanks. Actually I just ordered them from the shop in Dipolog where I also ordered my wedding invitations. The owner told me they ordered them from Cebu so I don't know which store in Cebu. Sorry. Since you are in Cagayan de Oro city which is bigger than Dipolog I am sure there is a wedding shop there which can order the same from Cebu if you will show the picture.

Yes they are very light. I believe I paid P25 for each and you can choose the color to fit your motiff . I chose the native material per my mom's request because she wanted a kind of Philippine touch for my wedding and indeed my in-laws and those who got them were awed by how they look. They call it very unique.

Goodluck.

Just a couple tips:

I would avoid things made of wood or bamboo because the humidity in the US is generally lower than in the Philippines and the items will crack (personal experience).

Also make sure nothing has seeds from plant materials or US Customs will confiscate. I tried to bring in a couple of those short brooms with woven handles and they were taken away because they found seeds on them.

Hi Riza, here is website for all types of wedding things; orientaltrading.com check it out there is a lot things in there that does not cost a lot. I just got one of there magazines.

Hope to meet you when I come to Philippines. God bless.

Thank you for all the answers, suggestions and ideas guys. I deemed to just leave this in my wishes because I realized it's additional expense and I no longer have budget for this. Gusto ko talaga sana ako gagawa para naman may Filipino touched wedding ko tapos I can feel being involved sa execution ng wedding details kasi may effort si me sa paggawa

Thank you talaga for everyone.

This is what I wanted as a wedding favor, there got smaller sizes of these and since I won't be allowed to bring I found a website where you could order and arranged the way you like based on your motif. My fiance' wanted a variety of native stuffs from the Phils.so I still got to decide final. But I really like the lucky bamboo.

Maribel is bringing favors over with her. they are 50 and she has stickers affixed to them with

mike and Maribel sept 8 2008 on them. so they cannot be confused with anything she might be planning on selling. she will carry them on in case there are any questions, she can explain they are wedding favors. hopefully there will not be any issues

Hi All, I suggest 50/50 ibigay mo sa mga guests. Para sa akin mas maganda talaga Philippine-made dahil unique, hindi common sa US at higit sa lahat pinoy na pinoy

Hello Riza! kumusta ka na? You'll soon be with Ryan and I know how happy you are.

Oo nga, dapat pinoy na pinoy coz Michael said it will be more appreciated. Haayy, planning syempre and as much as possible makatipid din. Ano na ba naisip mo?

My best wishes always to you and Ryan.

Hi All, ok lang si me. Mixed emotions na ako ngayon, excited and sad. But I know what I really want, kaya kelangan I have to deal this emote emote thing

Dami ko talaga ideas about giveaways. Dami dito sa Cebu. Mukhang wala ng oras para gumawa pa ako. Kaya wala na lang siguro kaming favors. Pwede din raw materials dalhin ko at do'n ko na lang i-accessorize. Gusto ko ako mag hands-on sa giveaways talaga dahil I enjoy doing it. I will still see, tight budget ko Pag may sobra, most probably I will get some. Kelan ba flight mo? Salamat talaga sa best wishes mo I really appreciate it.
