Overseeing a preparation for a wedding reception is somewhat challenging especially if you only get to know the people you will be closely working with through text.
It was may sister's wedding yesterday and I was the one who's assigned to oversee the reception area. I didn't really organize anything except for some on the spot changes/arrangements and controlling the guest list. The newly wed made sure to have everything in order and that only those who are invited can enter the hall and be with them during the entire program.

When I arrive at the Bantayan Ballroom, one of the event halls in Bayfront Hotel and where the reception took place, everything was almost ready. The set-up was done the night before. The photo booth and the perfume area for their souvenir was just still setting up. I waited for the cake and the lechon to be delivered and waited for the time until the guests arrives.

The guest list and the stub for the perfume souvenir. Each guest except for the Principal Sponsors was given a stub for them to claim a small bottle of oil-based perfume.
a little chitchat..
In case you're wondering.... let me clear things for you. Yes, I was not part of the wedding entourage. Why? Just because. 😅😅😅 Actually, I declined the bride's offer to become her maid of honor because of some personal reasons. hehehe Maybe, one reason that I can share with you is, I actually wanted to be really invisible and out of any obligations during weekends and spend my day alone in the house or somewhere. But, when they (her, her husband and my brother) persuaded me to attend even just to oversee the reception area, after series of NO, I eventually said YES to end the discussion.
back to the overseeing thingy..
Well, yeah.. waiting time was boring so I just spent it for picture taking. Nothing much to take photos but I must admit, the venue was good and set-up was great. Staff were very accommodating and was always on the go for some additional requests we had.
Eventually, after one and a half hour of waiting, little by little, guests came and my task started. Checking if their names were listed the guest list because if not.. well, I'm sorry I have to let them stay outside. Is that cruel??? Maybe? but I was just being obedient, doing what I was instructed or else, I get to pay the additional charges which I DO NOT LIKE and I CANNOT AFFORD.🤣🤣🤣
For the perfume, there were 3 variants for men and women. Guests can choose what scent they like.
Photo booth! Photos taken in this booth were pasted on a magnetic sheet.
Then, after few minutes, the program started. The kiddos were left under my supervision. Huhuhu, babysitter this time though it was fun pinching their faces and telling them scary things just to behave. HAHAHA.
These kids were having fun running around the corridor chasing each other. They also visited the photo booth many times. HAHAHA.
Fast forward...
It was dinner time, so as babysitter, I have to get their food and make sure they finish it. After that, I didn't wait any longer and left the venue. The kids? well, I told them to behave and left them to my brother since the program was almost done. I went home straight, fresh'n up and slept. HAHAHA. See??? I really got tired. 😁😁
How about you? How's your weekend? Hope you were not as tired as I am or if you are, I hope it was all worth it.
'til my next post. 😉
Hahaha, I remember when a close friend asked me to be her bride's maid but same as you did, I refused. Wala lang gyud, hehe
