Weddingbee boards

my friend and his wife are filipino, i have both their invite and program, and i remember the sponsors being listed on at least one of them.  when i find it i will definately get back to you, w/wording and all that good stuff.

hope this helps!

Hello there!  My fiance and I are filipinos but we are not including our sponsors in our invites.   It is true that traditionally, the primary sponsors, secondary sponsors and the rest of the wedding party are included on the invitation.  A lot of filipinos that are in the US are pretty understanding about not including the wedding party in the invites anymore (although I still got the oh-they-didn't-include-the-sponsors comment, but mostly from older people).

So this is how it goes... Our wedding invites are usually more than just one page.  The first page would be the usual invite.  We usually put our parents' names on the invites even if they are not hosting/paying for the wedding.  It's supposed to be a sign of respect.  Since your parents are paying, and you might decide to just put your parents' names on the first page, I suggest that you talk to your fiance first about it.  His parents might get offended.

The second page and/or third page would list the officiant, the primary sponsors (ninangs and ninongs), Best man and MOH, GM and bridesmaids. secondary sponsors (candle, cord, veil), flower girls, ring bearer, coin bearer and bible bearer.

Then you can have the other enclosure cards including the RSVP, reception card (a lot do away with this because the reception info is included in the first page), and direction card.

Good luck!
