Hello everyone! newbie here. I'am so amazed with the birthday parties of your babies! grabeh, super dooopers ganda! Can somebody here help me, how can I budget my money for my baby's 1st bday? Our budget is 20-25k. Gusto ko sana may konting balloon decors yung venue. We're planning to do it at Max's. Pero hindi pa finalize yun kasi I'm still canvassing kung san makakamura at san magkakasya yung budget.I love to have pinata's,loot bags, cute cupcakes and backpack or tumbler souvenir. Yung mga bags ba ng pang-giveaway na nabibili sa 168 Mall, lagi ba sila madami stocks? Kung punta ba ako dun makakabili agad ako ng 30 pcs.?

Maybe 70 adults and 30 kids yung invited. Hayzzz.... Hirap pala pag tight ang budget.. and then it's your son's first birthday pa. Syempre lahat gagawin para maging memorable sa kanya yung first bday niya. But how can I do it if my budget is so tight..Somebody help.. Any good advice? Thanks po.. GOd Bless mga sisses!

inxs: Im so thankful to find these threads.. Sobrang malaking tulong sa mga first time momski's..

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

vhen- Thanks! tight kung tight ang budget! buti nga nairaos na din. Yung kyla's ballons sa may divi mall yun, sa may tabora wing 2nd floor, makikita mo agad yun kasi may directions sila kung saan sila located. Yung tarp dun ka sa may tabi ng interface computer school magpaprint. Tapat yun ng SOGO sa recto. may malaki dun na mga tarp nakalagay 15/sq.ft. HTH! ;)

betty- yup! DIY po lahat from invites to tarp to decors!  ;D

Roche- Thank God at nakaraos din!

mitch- I'll upload pics, ni-reresize ko pa, laki eh..  ;D

Let- Thanks!  ;D

baby_maryen, congrats sis!

tanong ko lang...yung DIY balloons mo...gabi palang ginawa mo na po? tapos paano mo dinala sa venue?
plan ko kasi DIY sa 2nd bday ni baby...and baka kasi magahol sa oras kung morning ko gagawin yung balloon deco, so balak ko gabi palang...pero baka naman madeflate or maging malabo yung mga balloons...tips naman sis para maiwasan ang mga ito...and kung paano dadalhin sa venue...kasi mga 20mins byahe pa yung venue from our house eh. thanks po!

for my son this coming november, swimming party. actually, party muna then after yung swimming.

foods - my mom awill do the cooking. since her family have restaurant, she knew well how to cook foods na talagang masarap. also, instead of ice cream, salad na lang. para kids can always get more if they want.

invitations - DIY.

plates -  ang binili lang namin na based on theme is yung pang kids, for adults we have the narra plate tapos need na lang ng wax paper and silver spoon and fork. tipid kasi pwede pa magamit in other occassion and pang matagalan yung narra plate.

balloons - DIY. bibili lang kame ng balloon tapos kami na mag-iinflate. since we're planning na some of the balloons is nasa pool na nakalagay. tapos meron lang some for kids na gustong mag-uwi.

photo and video - brother and sis-in law ko na lang taga-kuha.

give-aways/lootbags - we'll buy na lang sa divisoria or 168.

cake - dito lang mapapamahal, kasi personalized. and sarili namin yung design ng cake na ipapagawa.

venue - free. sagot ng brother ko yung fee sa function hall nila, and kasama na din yung privacy ng pool. it's in their condo kasi eh.

@ ganda02- Thanks sis!  ;D ako din naman tingin tingin lang sa net for designs, hindi rin kasi ako creative eh.. yung balloons dinala nmanin sa venue using my in-laws van, good thing nagkasya siya lahat! haha! naki squeeze in nalang kami sa loob!  ;D

@ jessel- yup, gabi pa lang ginawa na namin yung balloons, all-in-all we has 560 balloons eh.. hindi kaya ng umaga na gawin kasi manual pump (hand)lang kami. Kung gabi mo na siya i-inflate, lagay mo siya sa isang malaking blazk garbage bag para hindi ma-expose sa air lalo na kung metallic/pearlized siya kasi mag-fade yung color niya, don't expose to direct sunlight kasi magpuputukan sila. Mga 10 mins ride siguro yung venue namin from our house, we transported the balloons via van, so far ok naman! nakarating ng hindi pumuputok.

@ arlene_mazo: we had balloonderitas din kaso ang ginamit namin is nylon string lang, ok naman siya.  :)

Pics: lasog-lasog na yung balloons, uber exposed na kasi and hindi sila pearlized, just the regular balloons lang.  ;D
