sa mga GTs na naka-attend na ng seminars about party planning, party needs or balloon decors, etc., which institution offers a good training? i've read about negoskwela, tlrc and others. anong feedback nyo sis after you attended the seminars, maganda ba?

i'm planning to attend one pag nagbakasyon akong pinas so since limited period lang ako sa pinas, so i hope worthwhile yung e-enroll-an kong course.

Hi po mga Sisters, sa mga may party needs business how much po and initial capital needed to start a business like this?..Kahit di agad malakihaan ang capital which you can start with a small capital muna, for beginners.

[andygirl]

Sis keiji, try mo lang ulit, take note na dash yung sa gitna ha and not underscore (just in case na mistype mo). If not pa rin, check google philippines and type businessmaker academy. Their office is nasa Tektike building in Ortigas. Hope this can help.

question po, dun sa naka attend na ng balloon decor seminars, ano po [textspeak!] materials na gamit para tumayo ang pillars at arches and san sya mabibili or mapapagawa?  i was able to do a 3ft high na pillar.  nag p practice na ko sa bahay kasi.  i googled a couple of DIY na balloon arrangement sa net.  madaming web tutorials on how to make those. 

im planning my daughters party myself and thinking if maging successful ang party sa january, then maybe i can go into business.  so im sourcing out materials na.  anyway i have a lot of cousins and friends na may kids, incase i wont go into business, the materials are very much reusable parin naman for functions of people i know.

i read something also about the bubble machine?  where can i buy it?  if kasi ill be renting, sayang lang din, might as well buy it then go into business of having it for rent.

btw, divisoria is the place to be.  for the party needs like toys, give aways, coloring books, balloons, its all there

 hi sis makisali na rin ako..though hindi ko pa plan to go into this business i want to train myself muna/be familiar with it, by planning my kids parties, and so much interested ako to some balloon arrangements..

^sis yung ginawa mo na balloon arrangement, saan ka po bumili ng ballon and what brand kasi one time i went to divi,,iba iba ang balloons and yung nabili ko madali maputok.

kapag maluwag na time ko i will start by attending training, so keep your inputs coming!

[Partyplanner]

hi sis goods4good... the best brand is qualatex although medyo pricey compared sa ibang brands. kung nagsstart or nagpapractice ka pa lang, try mo muna yung mas mura like unitex, everts, bellatex. they usually come in packs of 100s. wag ka bibili ng mga naka repack sa divi na 10s or 20s yata kasi i think yun [textspeak!] madali pumutok.

sis mommy_cel, you can buy the bubble machine in dv. more or less nasa 2k. regarding the balloon stand for pillars and arches,  i think lollipop balloons sell them pero mas makakamura ka sa mga nagwewelding ng bakal.

for those who are interested in balloon business workshops, u may try lollipop balloons or negoskwela. good luck and have fun! 

[mommy_cel]

hi goods4goods!  yung balloons na nabili ko sa 168, dun sa 2nd floor pag akyat ng escalator.  puro metallic ang binili ko, 125pesos yung 100pieces na 5inches.  35pesos each ang 10pieces na 12inches.  nakalimutan ko nga lang kung ano ang brand nya.  ayos naman sila.  i think yung 5inches ko na ginawa, pag sumobra ang laki at masyado na stretched yung balloon, madali nabutas nga.  yung 12inches ang na try ko palang gawin sa kanya was ilagay sa stick, ok naman po quality.  

sa kidspartiesandpreparations na forum sis, madami nagsasabi doon na sa store na kyles daw sa divimall ang bilihan talaga.  siguro dun mas madami makakatulong sa atin kung ano ba talaga ang maganda.  kasi yung pinuntahan ko sa 168 na store, mejo yung girl eh wala ata sa mood mag benta, ayaw ako sagutin sa mga tanong ko.

i suggest sa mga mommies here to go to that forum about kids parties and read up, madaming matututunan dun, kasi madami ding party planners na nandoon.  like caterers, mababasa nyo na ang testimonials ng mga mommies sa mga recommended nila na caterers.  kung saan sa divisoria maganda mamili.  meron din dun about planning a kiddie party on a budget.  may mommy din na nag post ng checklist and timeplan ng pag plan ng party and others.

most of my ideas dun ko nakuha.  

yung mga 5inches ko na nabili, ok na ok naman nung gumawa din ako kagabi ng table centerpieces.  sayang wala pa kong nabiling foil balloons para maganda sana ang effect  

[mommy_cel]

sis partyplanner, thanks ha!  ill take note of the brands you mentioned

buti nalang nasagot mo rin tanong ko about the balloon pillars.  madaming scrap na bakal pa sa house ng mommy ko kasi, pwede ako magpa welding sa trabahador nalang!  yay!

ill surely look for that bubble machine sa divi.  by any chance, may recommended brands ba kayo sa ganun?  or generic lang ang ganun?

thanks! and goodmorning to all!!

[goods4good]

hi sis party planner and mommy_cel, thanks for the inputs!

na excite tuloy ako bigla sa party ng baby ko..

hay dami ko na nga idea..dito lang din sa GT nakuha..hay sana successful ako..if ever ill do business, i enjoy it kasi talaga!

[lelila]

i'll go for the classy one. although you may want to move down a little the 2 balloons at the back. at first glance kase di siya agad marecognize as balloons. suggestion lang naman po ;-)

[lelila]

^yeah, ganun nga. kala ko talaga red pumpkin hehe
