Try checking RodeoStar.  They have a line of inflatables, and I think they are based in Marikina.  I only saw them in fb and haven't book with them though.

We didn't bother getting a professional host/magician on my baby's first birthday, althou we asked a family friend to conduct a simple program and the craft station was opened afterward (I brought and setup the supplies)
Also, got jumbo balloons which the kids went crazy for. Only regret was I wasn't able to purchase more balloons which would have made the place more festive
 
overall, it was a fun birthday party. even got a comment from one of the kids saying "it was a best party ever!"

We survived my baby's 1st Birthday Celebration! 

It was fun and busog ang lahat hehe... here are some of the good/not so good points during the party:

GOOD:
Candy Buffet! - maganda ang setup, marami at masarap ang sweets, maagang dumating ang supplier and most of all.. I LOVED THE CAKE!  kuhang-kuha ang design na pinagaya ko

Food - I am a fan of Don Henrico's so given na masarap ang food and freshly-served

Entertainment - I give 8/10 rate sa aking host/magician.  One of the guests already booked him for Christmas hehe

Face Paint/Balloon Twisting - If only there were more kids, mas fun sana.  Konti lang kasi ng kids e

I liked the lootbags provided by Don Hen Candies lang naman ang laman but the bags itself are nice

NOT-SO-GOOD:
- Hindi masyadong malamig sa venue   Kulang ang A/C
- Sobrang konti ng kids and puro boys pa.. e ang giveaways ko 95% Disney Princesses   Initially, 17 ang invited kong kids... may mga nag cancel up to the last minute.. naging 6 na lang Eto talaga ang nagpa-sad sa kin but of course I didn't let it ruin the day  
- mga late na guests... I put 2.30 on the invitation.. the party started at 3.30 may mga ilang late pa... haaayyy... talagang di mawawala ang bisitang walang konsiderasyon sa oras...


But it was fun!  We all enjoyed the party!  The Candy Buffet and the magician saved the day! hehe...

Just want to share my suppliers for my baby's 1st bday

Candy Buffet/Birthday Cake : Sweet & Fab Candy Buffet (I'm impressed with their setups at a reasonable price)
P/V, AVP : Special Life Events (I might get their photobook package, too)
Invitations, Birthday Board, Souvenirs, Guest Book. Tarp Layout: Instagram supplier, I won't reveal yet her account kasi di pa naman kami nag-s-start

This is so timely

[foxlady]

^what do you mean timely, sis?

[choco_monster]

^ my son is turning 1 so I might use for reference. hehe. May I know the rate of the host/magician?

[honeyblue]

Hi mga sis! My son is turning 1 soon. My host asked me to prepare minor and major prizes for the games. Can you give me samples of your prizes? I absolutely have no idea what to buy! TIA!

Share ko lang yung experience namin sa VIDEO DIGITAL PHOTO. Sobrang hindi okay ang pangit ng service nila and hindi sila okay kausap. Magulo sila kausap tapos yung video na ginawa nila after ilang months ang PANGIT AT MALI MALI. 7th birthday yung nilagay nila instead of 1st? Until now wala padin revision and hindi sila nagrereply. Tapos parang pinagtagpi tagpi napaka WALANG KWENTA. Sobrang nightmare yung ginawa nila. Sobrang stress ako sakanila sayang lahat 😭😭😭😭😭

[prettysherry]

@ honeyblue-- sis si Erney ba yang host mo? He asked me to do that din kasi before e. Anyway what I got for the minor prizes are small items Lang like yun pencil and erasers sets, stickers, notepads, face towels, etc. for the major prizes naman I got stuff toys, coloring book sets, coloring pens, other toys. Basta un mejo masmahal and not by the dozen ang prize. I got it from an online supplier but stuff from Divi din mostly. Oh and for adults, chocolates Lang ok na! HTH!

Im planning to get jumbo balloons na lang din.  Where did you purchase yours?

[honeyblue]

@prettysherry - Hi sis! I got Alex Lagula. I bought small toys, erasers and bubbles for the minor prizes. Big toys naman as major prizes. Will buy nga pencil sets for major prizes para di puro toys. Thank you!
For the adults, he asked me to prepare Starbucks GCs.

Hi mga Sis,

1st bday na ni baby next month and we already baught stuff/decoration last month pa.

Here's my DIY lang 1st bday for our son.  We already baught foil balloons, banderitas, Mason jars, Pinyatas ,letter balloons, 100pcs blue balloons,candies,ilang jars for candy buffet in divi. Snoopy sana yung theme nya pero nahirapan kami mag hanap ng mga supplies. karamihan pokemon, cars, ben10, nemo etc. kulang nalang yung cake and tarp. wala kami shows for the kids instead we only rent inflatables para naman hindi sila ma bored.

May i know kung sino din mga parents na nag DIY lang ng Bday party? need some advice and tips pa din.

Thank you!

Why don't you spend it intimately na lang with your hubs and baby? You can do a staycation, or an out of town trip. Don't forget to take lots of pics to show your kid in the future. You can do a grand celebration on the 7th birthday.

hi newbie here!

My baby girl is turning 1 this July.   I need some suggestion on how we will celebrate our baby's first birthday in budget friendly party. At home po ba? Restaurant? Catering? i'm from Pampanga po. Can anyone help me po?

[lyrahs]

Mag-1st bday na din baby ko sa November. Sa jollibee namin gagawin then hire ng photgrapher at photobooth. At least sa jollibee provided na din ang emcee/s pati mascot. Wala na masyado iisipin.

My Baby is also turning 1 this January. Sabay na din sa christening nya ang celebration. Gusto ko sana fastfood na lang due to budget issues and madami kaming nieces and nephews to invite. But sadly parang informal masyado to have fastfood reception after christening (IMO). I pushed thru with the original plan na Tramway reception for Godparents and immediate family after the christening then paluto na lang sa bahay for the kids.

ano sa tingin nyo mga sisses on my son's 1st bday party this summer.

venue na malapit sa bahay , hinde kagandahan. but MANY kids can attend
(We might end up in our own backyard incase wala talaga kami mahanap na venue)
OR
magandang venue pero malayo, pero not sure kung madaming kids ang makakaattend.

madami kasing bata dun sa street namin na relatives  din naman sayang naman kung hinde sila makakattend kasi malayo. Eh medyo fan sila ng baby ko 

may madaming kids kasi mas masaya diba
