WHO CAN OFFICIATE?
Dito sa pilipinas eto ang listahan kung sino ang mga authorize na pwede magkasal ng
civil wedding:
1. ThePresidingJusticeandtheJusticesoftheCourtofAppeals
2. JudgesoftheCourtsofFirstInstance
3. Mayorsofcitiesandmunicipalities
4. Municipaljudgesandjusticesofthepeace

religion, or sect who are duly registered
6. Shipcaptains,aeroplanechiefs,militarycommanders,andconsuls
and vice-consuls in special cases (marriages on the verge of death
and marriages between Filipino citizens abroad)
Mandalas ang mga nagpperform ng civil wedding dito sa pinas ay ang mga minucipal
and city judges, or mga mayor, unless meron kayong gustong maging o ciate, ang
local civil registar ang mag aassign kung sino ang mag o ciate sainyo depende sa
wedding date at availability ng o ciant.
Ang mga civil wedding ay dapat sa public place. Madalas eto ay nangyayari sa
Judge’s Chambers or Mayos O ce.
A certified copy of your birth certificate costs Php140 if you personally apply at
a Census Serbilis Center. For birth certificates ordered online, it will cost you
Php365 per copy.
If you can’t find a Serbilis Service Center nearby and the online fees are too
expensive, you can also apply for a birth certificate at SM Business Centers. You
just need to pay an additional service fee of Php25 per copy and wait for 3-9
business days to claim.
Ang mag bibigay nito ay ang local civil registar. Iba iba ang form per
town sa ganito. Kaya siguraduhin na kunin ito sa mismong local
municipality ninyo.
You will need to accomplish four (4) copies for registration. The four
copies will be distributed to the registrant, the O ce of the Civil
Registrar-General, the solemnizing o ce, and the fourth copy will be
retained for your file.

additional requirements for your civil marriage if you and/or your
partner fall under these specific conditions:
Kung ikaw or ung partner mo ay nasa edad na ito. Kailangan nyong dalawa ng
parental consent additional marriage requrement ito. If 26 ung isa at ung isa ay

There are also those who are forced into marriages against their will

kailangan ninyo mag submit ng Parental Advice as part of your civil
sila pumayad. Kung nag agree ang parents nasa 10 working days lang
Ang marriage certificate ay valid lang ng 120 days, kaya mas maganda mag plano
withing this time frame. Or pwede din naman in advance ung mga venue sa reception
or kung plano ninyo magpakasal sa private place. In general kase mas maganda mag
plan in advance kung ito ang binabalak ninyo.
Pero dahil madalas sa Municipal Hall or sa courtroom ng city hall ang kasalan sa civil
wedding ok na ung within 120 days.
Like I said kung gusto ninyo sa private place pwede ito basta sabihan
ninyo in advance ang mag oo ciate ng wedding ninyo. Ang pilipinas

Kung simple lang ang iyong civil wedding at gusto ninyo ay intimate
Make sure na iinform ninyo ang 2 witness ninyo sa kasal. Maganda din
mag assign ng backup witness baka bigla di makapunta ang mga pinili
ninyong witness.
gusto mag tipid halos lahat naman nasa facebook na pwede gumawa
ng event at tag ang mga taong gusto ninyo i invite. Or via EMAIL. At
Madalas ang mga kinakasal sa civil wedding ay simple sila mag damit.
Pero hindi ibig sabihin nito ay ganyan din gagawin ninyo pwede ninyo
The bride can wear a fabulous maxi dress, a stylish three-piece suit, or
even a cosplay outfit of their favorite character! For the groom, you
can experiment too. The good thing about civil weddings is that you
have the freedom to personalize and be adventurous. What matters is
that what you wear to your civil wedding makes you feel beautiful and
catering ang venue or kung walang catering ang venue ok lang din
kase may freedom kayo to choose your catering.
Most reception venues for civil weddings in the Philippines will allow
you to decorate, so take advantage of that. Add a personalized
hold your reception in a restaurant, you can dim the lights and add
lanterns or fairy lights to make the venue look more whimsical.
Hindi naman ibig sabihin ang reception ninyo ay maliit hindi na kayo
We’ve come to the last step in preparing for a civil wedding in the
Philippines – planning giveaways! As you have a smaller number of
guests, it’s easier and more a ordable to make your own giveaways,
even if you’re a beginner when it comes to arts and crafts. If you love
to bake or, you can even give out homemade cookies or your signature
pasta sauce that everyone loves. Any small token is made more special
Civil weddings in the Philippines are great for couples who want a
practical wedding or want to get married without so much of the
wallet and it’s an ideal alternative if you and your partner come from
di erent religious backgrounds (or you are both not religious at all).

TIPS:
Wag po masyado papastress kung ung iba dyan ay hindi nyo na mark ng "X" kung hindi nyo
Naglagay ako ng extra space para if ever meron kayong gustong i add e malalagay ninyo sa
checklist.
Guide lang po ito We tried to make it inclusive para sa lahat ng nag avail nito pero hindi
Hindi lahat ng nasa list ay importante, paka isipin nyo nalang kung ano ang priority at kung
meron pang budget at kung gusto nyo pang gamitin ito you can add nalang ung gusto ninyo
i-add.
Meron din tayong file to set your budget. Check nyo nalang din ito para makita kung
overbudget, naka save kayo or saktong sakto lang ang pinaggastusan ninyo.
Nagavail kayo ng DIY WEDDING PLANNER Para makatipid din Bigyan ko kaya ng mga Event
3. Kungmeronmga"MainCharacterSyndrome"nanainvite,kungbagamaraming
demands na hindi naman sila ung kakasal. wag kayo mag give in sa mga request na ito
lalo na kung wala naman sa budget at hindi naman talaga kailangan.
4. Kungpalagayninyoayhindinamanimportanteparasainyo,i-disregardnyonalangito.
Focus lang sa budget at sa isa't isa. REMEMBER KASAL NIYO ITO, DAPAT KAYO ANG
MASAYA DITO.
5. Parabawasgastosangpagppuntasamgasuppliers,puntakayosafacebookpagenila
check nyo kung tugma ung mga designs at ginagawa nila para sa kasal ninyo ALWAYS
check ung mga reviews ask for rates kung kaya nyo i message ung old clients nila GO
lang! tapos doon nyi sila i meet.. EXTRA TIP: Search lang ng search sa facebook. tignan
nyo mga ads na lilitaw about sa mga pinag sseach ninyo at malaking tulong din ito. Wag
kayo magsusuot ng pangmayaman wag nyo pakita na meron kayo budget para hindi nila
ito taasan.
6. Kungkayamaglagayngmgapicapicasamismongtablemalakingtulongito.meronat
meron mga taong magugutom at malaking bagay na meron sila nakakain kahit pica pica
lang while ongoing ang event.7. Always avail sa mga promos at sale, abang lang lagi
malaking bagay ung kahit magkano lang e meron kayo makukuhang discount. always
check si shopee/lazada sa mga sales nila kung palagay mo kailangan mo yon at mura
GO mo na.
7. kungkayamakapuntasamgaplaceslikebaclaran,taytay,divisoria.dyanmaraming
mumurahin at minsan dyan lang din kumukuha ang mga supplier at pinapatungan lang
nila ito.
8. wag masyado maginvest sa mga bagay bagay na hindi naman ganun bigdeal or di din
naman magtatagal sainyo. Example ang cake kahit 1 layer lang or kung gusto mo talaga
na medyo malaking cake pagawa ka ung isang layer ay styro lang mas mura pa.
Invitation isang beses lang yan titignan at itatapon lang. souviners. kung gusto mo ng
suoviners try mo ang photobooth. mauuwi ng mga guest ang picture nila at i ssend sayo
ang mga copies ng mga tao nagpapicture which is pwede mo itong i keep. ang mga
bagay na mag invest ay sa mga video, photo food at decorations. pero lagi i check ang
budget ha? kung meron ka mga bonggang decorations i keep mo after ng kasal. Post
mo sa Facebook groups or marketplace i benta mo. to be honest malaking chance na
hindi mo na ito gagamitin. atleast nagamit mo na at meron pang nabalik na pera.
9. WAGMAHIYANGMAGTANONG,chatmomgapreviousclientsngsuppliermo.doon
mo makikita kung gaano ba talaga ang mga supplier REMEMBER hindi ippost ng
supplier ang mga negative feedbacks. pero kung meron man. ask ung situation. wag
kaagad mag judge baka meron lang talagang bagay na hindi kaya i control kaya
nangyari yon.
10. List down your guest kung gusto nyung sumaya sa kasal nyo
11. List down your songs para mas ma feel nyu na kasal nyo
12. Be yourself, focus sa love, sa isa’t-isa wag nyu sila isipin, always visit your budget
13. Wag papayag sa mga tao na nagsasabi na magsasama sila kung sino sino. provide
SEATS. lagay sa invitation kung ilan lang available seats para sa guest. always try to
ask people kung meron sila +1 para alam mo ung bilang ng mga guest mo. kung sabi
nila di sila pupunta kase ilan lang ang pwede pumunta ok lang yon. hindi ikaw ang
priority nila iniisip lang nila ung libreng pagkain. wag ka papastress sa mga ganitong tao.
14. Kung hahanap ka ng mga insipiration check on youtube. facebook. google, pinterest,
instagram at tiktok. Maraming maraming mga tips at inspiration sa mga sites na yon.
check nyo din mga ibang files na kasama sa nitong binili ninyo naglagay din kami ng
mga samples.
15. Kung gusto niyo makapag design ng invitations ninyo, try nyo sa canva maraming mga
designs doon at kung creative ka pwedeng pwede ka makagawa ng sarili mong design.
16. kung ung gustong mong design ay kasama lang sa PRO VERSION. hanap ka sa
facebook nagbebenta ng mga pro version meron ka makikita na 50 pesos lang 1 month.
mas maganda ay i edit mo na sa free version mo tapos i copy paste mo nalang ito.
meron kase mga iba na kaagad nag eexpire kahit naka lagay na 1 month sila.
