More than a definition — how it shows up in your timeline, budget, and guest list.
When Filipinos say “kasal,” they may mean the church or civil rite, the reception, or the entire wedding project. In planning conversations it is the umbrella word for the day you are organizing.
WedPlanner’s PH-first tools (PHP budget, local vendors, cultural timeline language) are built around that full kasal — not a US registry-first wedding model.
Some couples have a civil wedding first and a church kasal later (or the reverse). Treat each as a dated event on your timeline with its own guest rules and attire needs.
Tagaytay, Boracay, Cebu, and other hubs create travel logistics for guests. Pair your kasal plan with vendor hubs for that city and a clear Website RSVP so out-of-town families confirm early.
Pick one primary date and city before shopping every vendor category.
Draft guest count ranges early — Filipino guest lists often grow after ninong/ninang invites.
Use a PHP budget template so peso quotes stay comparable.
Jump from the term to the tool that helps you act on it.
Keep building topical context for your kasal.
A traditional Filipino visit where the groom’s family formally asks the bride’s family for her hand — often with gifts, discussion of wedding plans, and relationship blessings.
A civil wedding is a legally binding marriage ceremony performed by an authorized solemnizing officer — often simpler and smaller than a church kasal.
The entourage is the wedding party: attendants who process, pose, and support the couple on the wedding day — often larger than Western bridal parties.
