Debut checklist and budget — the program flow, the 18 roses and candles, and what to save each month
Short answer. Venue, food for every guest, the gown, hair and makeup, photo and video, host and lights, cake, styling, the 18 roses and candles, invitations and giveaways: you see the total and what to put aside each month until the debut. Turning 18: the age of majority begins at eighteen: you can sign contracts and open accounts in your own name (RA 6809).
- Book the venue and the photographer — about 6 months beforetype the date
- Ask the 18 roses, candles and treasures — about 4 months beforetype the date
- Send invitations — about 1 month beforetype the date
Check your own case.
The 18 roses, candles and treasures are tradition, not rules — the lists help you ask everyone in time.

Your debut in pesos — and what to save each month until the 18th birthday
Venue, food for every guest, the gown, hair and makeup, photo and video, host and lights, cake, styling, the 18 roses and candles, invitations and giveaways. You see the total and what to put aside each month. The Word file has the program flow and the 18 roses, candles and treasures lists. No sign-up.
Want a reminder each month, on saving day, until the debut?
The calendar file works without an account. The reminder needs a free account so we know where to send it.- Choose the 18 roses, 18 candles and 18 treasures early and tell each person — the Word file has the three lists.
- Book the venue and the photographer first; then food, host and styling.
- Send invitations about a month before and confirm the guest count with the caterer.
All amounts are yours: the fields show examples, not market prices. Monthly payments run from today to the month before the debut; the last one adjusts. Not financial advice.

Questions
How much is a simple debut in the Philippines?
It depends on the guests and the venue: the examples here go from 50 guests at home to 150 in a hotel. Put in your own quotations to see your total and the monthly amount.
What is the order of a debut program?
A common flow: entrance, prayer, welcome, 18 candles, dinner, 18 treasures, 18 roses with the father last, cotillion, cake, the debutante's message and the party. The Word file has it with times.
Who should be in the 18 roses?
Men who matter to the debutante — brothers, cousins, friends, godfathers, uncles, grandfather — with the father last. The list has suggested relations you can change.
What are the 18 candles and 18 treasures?
18 candles: wishes from 18 special women. 18 treasures: 18 gifts, each with a message. Both lists are in the Word and Excel files.
When should we start saving?
When you set the date: the calculator divides what is left into equal monthly amounts until the month before the debut.
