Wedding Souvenir : Photo Booth


I've been thinking about what kind of souvenir should I give my guest on my wedding. I remember then, whenever I attend a wedding I often take home souvenirs made of glass figurine, native stuff of pictures of me that I should pay after the reception. But these souvenirs don't last for long and often taken for granted.

These days there's a variety of souvenirs we can choose from for our guest to enjoy. Since I've been attending bridal fairs I've seen a lot of photo booths where in you can have your pictures developed in just a snap. pictures serves as your souvenir where in guest can take it home with paper frame and printed name or pictures of the couples. There's also some photo booths with props that your guest can use for more enjoyable picture taking. Everybody can enjoy these souvenirs and it's unlimited and free. But it's kinda pricey, depending on the number of hours you wish to rent it, luckily my ever gorgeous Tita Bheng will provide us this souvenir as her gift to us, Thanks Tita Bheng love yha!



Here are some of our free photo booths pictures form the bridal fairs that we attended:

Pamamanhikan : Climbing of Love

"Pamamanhikan" or Climbing of Love is a Philippine tradition. The word Pamamanhikan was derived from the word "panik " meaning to climb a house's flight of stairs. It's a formal seeking of blessing and approval before getting married. The guy's family goes to the house of the woman he loves to meet up with her family for a formal proposal of marriage. The guy with his family ask for the blessing of the woman's parents to marry their daughter. Normally the guy's family bring some food or gifts. This is also the time where both family discussed all the wedding details.

I've experienced this culture just recently. My boyfriend then (now my fiance) went on a "Pamamanhikan" in our house in Bulacan. It was exactly 2 weeks after he proposed. We don't have any idea how this tradition go, since I'm the first one to have this "Pamamanhikan" thing in our family and same with my fiance since he's the eldest guy. Anyways , there was some kind of awkardness at first but I think it's just normal but it didn't last for long, because my fiance's father is a natural comedian so things goes smoothly, afterwards we had dinner together and picture taking.

Here are some of our Pamamanhikan pics:
