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
Check your own case.
Bring a copy of the baby's PSA birth certificate; the birth is registered at the local civil registrar within 30 days (Act No. 3753).

Want a reminder each month, on saving day, until the party?
The calendar file works without an account. The reminder needs a free account so we know where to send it.- Ask your parish for the schedule, the fee and the seminar for parents and sponsors, and bring a copy of the PSA birth certificate.
- Invite the ninong and ninang early and write their names in the sponsor list.
- Book the venue and caterer, then the cake and balloons; confirm the guest count a week before.
All amounts are yours: the fields show examples, not market prices. Monthly payments run from today to the month before the day; the last one adjusts. Not financial advice.

Questions
How much does a binyag cost in the Philippines?

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.
