Binyag and first birthday budget — the total, the sponsors and what to save each month

Short answer. Church fee and seminar, tokens for the ninong and ninang, the baptismal gown, food for every guest, venue, cake, photo, balloons, host and games, and souvenirs: you see the total and what to put aside each month until the day. Birth registration: declaration of the birth sent to the local civil registrar not later than 30 days after the birth (Act No. 3753, s. 5).

 

  • Ask the parish for the schedule, fee and seminar — about 2 months beforetype the date
  • Invite the ninong and ninang — about 6 weeks beforetype the date
  • Confirm the guest count with the caterer — 1 week beforetype the date

Questions

How much does a binyag cost in the Philippines?

It depends on guests and choices: the examples here go from ₱24,800 for a binyag with lunch at home to ₱154,000 for a binyag and first birthday at an events place.

What do we need for the baptism?

Usually a copy of the PSA birth certificate, the parish schedule and fee, a seminar for parents and sponsors, and the sponsors' names. Requirements differ — ask your parish.

Can we combine the binyag and the first birthday?

Yes, many families do: binyag in the morning, party after. The program in the Word file is made for that.

How many ninong and ninang?

Your choice and your parish's rules. The calculator multiplies the number of sponsors by the token for each.

When should we start saving?

When you set the date: the calculator divides what is left into equal monthly amounts until the month before.
