checklist kapag pupunta sa binyagan
gift
make sure you've prepared you're gift at least a day before the event para hindi ka pressured sa pagpili what to give. others prefer giving money but i suggest gifts because it makes it more personal and for me it's nicer specially kapag hindi ka naman ganun ka-close dun sa parents nung bata. kung you're like a tito or tita or the ninong/ninang I guess okay lang ang money, and it better be a nice amount, too.
be punctual
okay, do I have to elaborate? wheather you have a part (ninong/ninang) or just a plain guest be punctual. syempre nakakahiya naman kung ikaw nalang yung iniintay.
dress properly
hmm... properly for the occassion, that is. ofcourse no need to be in a gown nor a bussiness suit. try to be casual and confortable but try to show less skin. wear something that is not skimpy as this is more of a religious thing after all. if you prefer, put on some make-up but make it simple.
be polite
events like this are where you'll meet the older generation. during baptismal, you'll meet the lolos & lolas and titos & titas. well the older ones are more particular with manners and also try to respect the kaugalian the family preserves.
enjoy
greet relatives of the celebrant and other guest. it would not only make you feel at ease with the crowd but also it would help broaden your circle plus you'll enjoy the time you've spent ( during the event and the preparations).
