1st Bday

[mine08]

sabi naman ni hubby, instead of that big celebration, ibili ko na lang daw lahat ng toys yung amt na hinihingi ko.  For sure daw matutuwa si baby. 
E, papaano naman ako, gusto ko talaga party. 

pareho tayo ng drama sis. hahaha. sabi ng mom ko wag na daw bongga sabi ko naman bakit kaming magkakapatid nung bata kami my party? dapat anak ko meron din. kaya ang gagawin ko sa ayawt gusto ng mom or asawa ko magpapaparty ako. pero susundin ko parin naman si mom tungkol sa kaperahan. kaya ang plano ko for my kid's 1st birthday party this coming august is puro DIY lang. from the foods unto the decor DIY lahat. mahal kasi magpacustomized or mag hire pa ng mga tao eh. lahat on hand. hahaha!

I had my baby's 1st birthday party just yesterday and it turned out well naman in spite of rush preps!( a matter of a week  haha even his baptismal last year it was a week prep lang din. Kasi I was looking for a perfect place na car ang theme..finally I got Max resto for the venue..I had a lot of choices but ended up nga sa Max..some of my options are TGIF( too small & I think it's just good for adult party,Bubba Gump(hinde type ni hubby ang place and adult guests area are somewhat separated from the kids so parang me barrier ,Hard Rock(parang super solemn naman ang place not also good for children's party,Tivoli Royale clubhouse-QC( not so accesible sa mga guests at samin na rin to think na  we are from Pasay and not so IN na kasi it will be a mixed of pool party & entertainment and it's already rainy season , ayoko naman ng Jollibee & Mcdonalds kasi it's too common na for the kids so as adults diba and you can eat there naman everyday. I really like the set up of super racer Car theme of Max,perfect for my idea like formal set up para ka na rin nagpacater. I just add on side entertainment like caricature & chocolate fountain.Lastly, it's somewhat affordable na rin.I'll upload the pics soon.

Hi sis.
my baby's bday is on november pa [textspeak!] pero sobrang nagpplan na ako since i gave birth, mas excited ako mgprepare ng bday party kesa sa binyag. I want to have doctors theme sana (actually nakaset na sa isip ko na doctor theme sana since we want him to become a doctor,hehe) kaso naisip ko bka masyadong dull naman yun kahit puro baloons na ska dapat ibagay din ang theme sa set up ng venue, cakes, giveaways, games so parang maxado mahirap..i want to hace backdrops din sana kaso naginquire [textspeak!] sila set for doctor theme..hay ang hirap [textspeak!] ng naisip kong theme. Yung room [textspeak!] nya disney cars ang mga stickers kaso sobrang common [textspeak!] for bday parties na nakkita ko.. nagguluhan tuloy ako.. so my husband and i decided na sports theme na lang since baby boy [textspeak!] at ndi gano common diba? madali pa set upan, pro bumabalik pa din ako sa doctor theme [textspeak!] i super luv it [textspeak!] esp pag nkascrub suit ang babta, nakakatuwa tingnan diba? I don't have venue p pla, we located [textspeak!] dito sa cainta so naghhanap ako ng clubhouses na available yung airconditioned sana.
may nakita na ako sa net na magset up ng baloons, me sponsor na din for din for ice cream, may caterer na kme. I need advice sana para sa bday ng baby ko. tnx.

Sa november pa rin ang 1st birthday and christening ni baby and so far booked na and nakapag down payment na ako sa lahat ng suppliers.  I started early kasi I'm trying to organize this party from abroad and I want to be hands on talaga sa preps kahit may party planner. 

So far eto yung na arrange ko na:

Caterer - 50% down payment done, we sort of finalized our menu na din kaya lang since very familiar ang PP ko sa food ng caterer ko she volunteered to have a look at the menu and will give me feedback kung may mas ok na alternative. 

Video - 25% down payment done, kailangan ko nalang iprovide yung details of the party, actually yung church details nalang kasi hindi pa finalized un.

Booked through my Party planner:

- Venue
- Decor
- Dessert Buffet
- Food Carts
- Host & performer
- Invitation
- Cakes
- Photography
- Photo Booth
- Side entertainment
- Upgrade package for the Caterer's set up (they are partners kasi)

so for all of these 50% down payment made na rin, so far ang ginagawa ko nalang, i'm listing any ideas that i have and run through all of them with the PP and ask her opinion kung ok or not. 

Outfits - nakahanap na ako ng design and couturier sabi nya sa september daw namin sukatan ang baby coz they grow up so quickly

Pending Items:

Church - kasi yung gusto kong church they only accept reservation 1 month before the event

mga sis meron pa ba akong nakalimutan or namiss out na kailangan ko for the party? thanks!

sis kirkaleksy how much inabot yung gastos mo sa max? as i was planning to hold my son's 1st day and baptismal na lang din sa max though sa december pa naman ang birthday/binyag nya but im on a tight budget kasi kaya ngayon palang nagi-scout na ko..plan ko rin sana sa kidz republic sa MOA kung isasabay ko nalang sa birthday ng daugther ko yung binyag ni baby kaya lang mukhang madodouble lalo ang gastos ko kasi syempre yung sa kidz republic e talagang for kids lang, e panu naman yung mga matatanda? haaay! ang hirap pag sobrang budget at sabay sabay ang gastos...

pa-advise naman ako sis sa naging outcome ng party mo sa max ...thanks

[bluekaren780]

For November celebrants, you are just on time... mabilis na nga lang yan eh... you'll be surprised, super lapit na pala.

[purplemom]

@kirkaleksy..cant wait to see your pics since you said you liked the set up of their "super racer car" theme .. sa Max's din kasi ang 1st birthday ng son ko and Car's din ang bday theme..san branch ng Max's ka nag party?

[broken one]

hello mga sis! my daughter will also turn 1 this october. I was planning to have a caterer sana and have it in a swimming pool kya lang ayaw ng husband ko. Masyado daw magastos, dapat daw practical. since favorite ni bunso c jollibee, dun na lang daw. ayoko sana kc anytime pwede namang kumain dun pero un ang gsto ng papa nya. we already talk with jollibee imus kase we want to have DORA the explorer as the theme. ok lang naman sa knila. hopefully, maging successful ang party. I guess what's more important is makapag-thank you kami kase umabot si baby ng 1 year old kahit high risk ako when I was pregnant. Uunahin ko na lang ang happiness ng baby namin kc i'm sure she'll be very happy to see the mascot of Jollibee and Dora the Explorer 

[abby_08]

I'm so excited na uuwi na kami ng pinas next week and we'll be celebrating my daughter's 1st bday in 2 weeks sobrang lapit na and I'm so happy na everything went well with the preparation and now everything is pretty much set hintay na lang for the actual day...thanks to my PP, Mel of partytime very nice and accommodating....gusto ko na lang talaga makita ang outcome after months of planning, sana maging maayos and successful ang celebration =)

[kreez]

^goodluck sis! hope maging huge success party mo

I can imagine ako nga sa november pa ang party super excited na eh

[princess lorraine]

kidstarkastles or balloon creations??? i am really having a hard time to choose between them to do my decors

[pinkness]

^ nagpalit ka na sis ng pp? Yan din prob ko dati, lalo na nung nagka promo pa balloon creations.. hirap mag decide kung balloon creations, hi-5 parties, or kidstar hehe.. kidstar napili ko..

[princess lorraine]

hi sis! yung mga entertainers binook ko sa first pp ko. kaso yung decors may hinahanap kc talaga ako eh na wala ata sa kanila. gusto ko kc yung maganda and bongga talaga. pero this time i've decided na kidstar na talaga ako papagawa ng decors ganda kc talaga and sakto dun sa gusto ko and mukhang it's worth every penny talaga. hehe.. gusto ko kc lahat talag best best best para sa party ng anak ko. hehe

[lenmel]

hi! i'm a newbie here... my son will be celebrating his 1st birthday at Jollibee pasig simbahan..Expected guests 120 but i reserved 80.Pwede daw additional order. it will be transformers theme kaya lang my son likes spongebob so nagcome up n lang ako na 2 ang party themes..

[young _lady08]

Mommies, kelangan ba na mismong birthdate gaganapin yung party? may rule ba na ganun?or pamahiin lang? kasi birthday ng baby ko is on a weekday kasi. baka kasi walang pumunta pag weekday. Naisip ko lang..Thanks mommies!:)

[maui_chie]

^ not really naman sis. depende sa yo. my son's birthday kasi nag fall nung august ng thursday. so ang party ginanap namin ng saturday. pero nagprepare pa din kami ng food sa house. yung mga malalapit lang ang pinapunta ko.hehe

[young _lady08]

Thanks sis maui!:) Ganun din ang plan namin gawin

[kreez]

^sis kami yung party ni baby gagawin din namin ng weekend kasi her bday falls on a thursday.  actually mas gusto ko nga yung hindi magpaparty sa mismong day ng bday nya para yung exact day para sa amin lang na family, we can go to church and celebrate intimately tapos yung party nya on the weekend para sa extended family and friends 

[maui_chie]

^true sis! pag party kasi yung exact bday nya mismo, super busy yung mind natin. unlike pag ibang araw ang party, super bonding moment kayo ng family kasi wala pa masyado iintindihin. 

[kreez]

^my point exactly
