for my son's bday parties, limited lang yung pinaprint kong invites.  mostly thru text lang para tipid.  ;)

i also asked my talented friends to do stuff for me --like design tarp, invite, etc.

para tipid... I borrow my frend's baby gown for her christening since 1 month old lang naman ang pagitan nila
and wala pa naman 1hour isusuot ng baby ko un christening gown nya
party dress ang ginastusan ko talaga since pwede pa naman nya isuot un sa ibang lakad namin.

haaayyy sa wakas natapos na din ang rush-preps para sa baptism ni baby. DIY lahat ng decors & invites. Here's a summary nung mga nagastos namin.

Invites- DIY lang, Pinaprint ko sa 3R sized photo sa digital foto tipid located at SM manila for only 3.60 each then bumili ako baronial envelopes sa national bookstore for 8.50/10pcs.

Tarpaulin- Ako din gumawa ng layout then pina-print ko sa recto for 18/sq.ft, sayang nga eh.. katabi na pala nun yung 15/sq.ft, hindi ko agad nakita.

Souvenirs- Dapat dito personalized mugs kaso naloko kami sa recto, hindi nagawa yung mugs tapos hindi namain mahagilap yung nakausap ko before. sayang ang pera! haaayyy! kaya mga sis, beware! karma na nila yun! anyways, bumili nalang kami ni hubby ng mickey mouse na mugs and clocks sa tabora for 30/pc. sa mugs then yung clock for 28/pc.

Balloon Decors- Bumili din kami sa divi mall, sa may kyla's balloons. we bought 500 pcs. of buenatex balloons size 5" for 4 2 pillars, 1 arch para sa entrance and table centerpieces tapos 60 balloons size 10" for balloonderitas. Mga less than 1k din lahat-lahat ng decors.

Cake- Red ribbon yung cake, yung blue bear. 900 lang siya, ok naman kaso mas gusto ko boiled icing, fondant kasi siya.

Baptismal Attire- yung barong sa SM ko nabili, naka sale siya 50% off so grab ko na agad. Then bumili ako plain white sando from wee essentials kasi mainit yung sando na terno nung barong then bumili din ako maong shorts sa sm, naka-sale din!  ;D yun ang pang reception niya, white sando, maong shorts and white shoes from PUMA given by her tita-lola!  ;D dapat nga may silver necklace para gangster ang labas! lol!  :D ayaw ni mama, baka magka-allergy daw. Mga nasa 500 lahat yung attire.

Food- in laws ko ang nagluto, walong putahe ata yung niluto nila, hindi ko na maalala tapos yung dessert is salad then yung pulutan is grilled tilapia and sizzling sisig. Niluto nila is for 200 pax! grabe ang daming dumating! kaloka! siguro mga nasa 160 pax yung dumating! na-realize ko tuloy ang laki pala ng angkan namin ni hubby! haha!  :D 9k for 200 pax.

Venue- libre lang kasi sa canteen ng in laws ko yung reception.  ;D

Photograher/videographer- wala! haha!  :D yung pinsan ko lang saka yung tito ko yung kumukuha ng pics!  ;D

Liquors- Mga hayok sa alak mga friends ni hubby! wala sa budget pero pinagbigyan na din!  ;D mga 1k for 9 cases of colt 45 plus grand matador and red wine.

all in all, ok naman kinalabasan nung binyag ni baby, happy ako kasi kahit maliit lang budget namin, it all turned out good! iba pala talaga kapag fruits of labor mo. Iba yung feeling nung natapos na namin yung decors tapos nakita mo na yung result! haaayyy! para sa anak, gagawin lahat! haha! ang drama!  ;D goodluck sa lahat ng magpapabinyag!  ;D





wow sis ang galing mo naman! nung binyag kasi ng eldest ko 15k na nagastos namin sa food pa lang.eh wala namang 200 yung bisita.100 pax lang ata yun o wala pa.

for my baby's baptism i will be using the same baptismal outfit his 2 kuyas wore during theirs.  tipid na, naging tradition pa.  ;)

invites and tarps, diy na since im familiar naman with photoshop. invites will be sent through email na lang.

reception naman, i have na suki caterer who gives me good packages. venue will be at the function room of my sis in law's condo.

so far, im looking at spending around 20k, all in all.  :D

Share ko lang mga sis. Yung officemate ni hubby, ang laki ng tipid sa venue. Kasi sa office nila may pool, katabi ng pantry / canteen nila. Nagpaalam lang sila sa building admin para makapag party. Instant pool party na, libre pa chairs and tables and sound system :D Food lang ang ginastos nila for the kid's bday party (but I have no idea how much that is) :D

for my upcoming baby's baptism we will hold the reception in a resto where the rental of the venue is waived. laking tipid nun kesa caterer plus venue expenses

^shocks ang mura sis!

naisip ko nga rin dito na lang sa house kaya lang liit ng townhouse and ayaw ko naman na nakikita ng kapitbahay un bisita.

nakahanap na ako ng pasok sa 20k budget ko for binyag. Northpark in Medical City. they have a function room that can accomodate 30pax. the cheapest package is 2,464/10pax w/o drinks pa un. iced tea is 52/glass.

Tipid tip: wag kabahan. Kasi pag kinakabahan tayo naoover estimate natin yung supplies/resources sa party (isip2x natin "d bale ng sobra kaysa kulang") kahit pa may listahan na at may plano pag kinakabahan (ako ito mga sis) kung ano2x ang nabibili :(

^ korek sis, di bale sobra kesa kulang.. at ang importante masiyahan ang bisita.. meron kasi mga bisita na nagpunta lang para mamintas ng party or binyag.. keber ang mahalaga eh nagawa mo na alam mong tama yung preparation mo, sa hirap ng buhay ngayon!.  :)

tipid tip: check mo kung ano [textspeak!] [textspeak!] mong DIY mula invitation, souvenir, balloon decoration para bawas sa gastusin. don't hesitate to call a friend...for sure meron kang mahahanap na talentadong friend na pwedeng tumulong sau sa pag-DIY...

Nung binyag ng daughter ko sa email at text lang ako nagsend ng invitation sa mga friends ko. Relatives and godparents lang pinadalhan ko ng chocolate invitation pra tipid. Nung first bday ganun din. Tpos DIY [textspeak!] balloon decoration mula sa binyag at 1st birthday...

don't splurge on the invites, ganyan nangyari saken nung baptism ni bebe.  di rin kami satisfied ni hubs sa outcome ng party :( pasok naman sa budget kaso parang kami ang lugi ;D

for her 1st bday party, prep time ko was almost 5 months, paunti unti bumili na ako ng prizes and other needs sa party. nagdown na rin kami for different suppliers para hindi masakit sa bulsa, mas ok to kase di mo masyadong mararamdaman ang gastos kesa.

maging masipag lang pagsesearch ng murang party supplier yet me quality naman ;)

start early. para hindi ka haggard at makapagcanvass ng mabuti. kapag nagmamadali ka kasi kung minsan kung ano na lang yung una mong makita yun na lang kasi wala ng time. yun pala meron pang iba. di ba sis yumi? hehe!

huwag mo na ring pangaraping maging super mom. nangarap din ako at ako ay lumagapak. delegate. delegate. delegate. hangga't maaari. meron at meron yan. ako hindi ko na inasahan si hubby at hindi sya talaga mahilig sa mga preps. pati nga sa guests na dapat sya ang kumontak, naging last minute pa! asus! pero andyan naman ang ate ko at mommy ko na tumulong sa akin. wala kasi akong yaya.

tignan nyo kapag natapos, super satisfied ka at proud na nairaos mo. tee hee!!

Naku, ako naman whether long planning (i.e., kagaya ng binyag and 1st birthday ng sons ko) or short planning (upcoming 2nd birthday), lagi ako nag-e-exceed sa budget ko.  :D

Para akong si stormy, may panic moments kaya may tendency to spend more.  :-[

^parehas tayo sis :D after yumi's baptism preps naman for her 1st bday party pero exactly january ako nagstart ng actual preps.  super satisfied kami ni hubs sa result ng party ;D  sis for me ha na dapat di mo kalimutan photos and video para macapture lahat ng important details kase sa totoo lang di ko talaga napansin kabuuan ng party even the host/magician, sa photos ko na lang pagsasawain mata ko ;D

carol you're right, better talaga kung mahaba party preps :D wala din ako inasahan sa preps ke hubs, ako lahat, buti me neighbor ako na mabait ke yumi :D :D
