^ There are 2 options for her rates:
1. You give her a budget to work with and she will tell you what can be done.
2. You tell her what you want and she will give you a rate based on your requirements

For my kid's 7th, we celebrated his birthday last Sunday at Lazer Maxx Eton Centris. If you only have a couple of kid guests (7 yrs old and up), this is a good alternative to the usual birthday parties. Kids were all psyched after every game! The package we got included 3 exclusive 15-minute games (max 24 players per game), free use of function room and 24 free bumper car tickets (area was just outside Lazer Maxx). The lazer tag game, super patok talaga sa kids with matching "this is the coolest party ever!" hirits. Winner din sa kanila ang bumper car.

We opted for this kind of birthday party because when we broached the idea to our kid, he didn't want to celebrate it elsewhere. Also, the idea of holding a party in a fastfood/resto just didn't appeal to me. Hassle pa mag-ayos ng maraming details (at dagdag gastos pa).

For the food, we ordered from Amber's (spaghetti, palabok, pichi-pichi) and just had it delivered to the place. Bbq was from our suki. For the cake, I got a big chocolate cake from Shoppersville.

My son plays for his school's soccer team and the invited guests were mostly his teammates and fellow classmates so for the giveaways, I veered from the usual candy-filled lootbags and just bought good quality soccer ball keychains from Wellmanson in Quiapo. Fairly cheap and they come in cute colors too.

As for the cost, I'm sure what we spent was only a fraction of what other parents usually spend on birthdays.

I'm just so thankful that his classmates/teammates were able to come. Medyo worried kasi ako sa umpisa baka hindi umabot ng 24 players, sayang naman. Pero buti naman at meron ding mga nagbitbit ng mga kuya/ate kaya halos nakumpleto ang players (may libre pang slots, so the parents got to play too!).

So after his 7th, I told myself that I am done with birthday parties. The next birthday celebrations will be in the house, ninangs and ninongs only. Lol. Saludo ako sa mommies na masipag mag-organize ng big birthday celebs! : )

[aleng_maganda]

  ^ interesting sis. Would mind sharing the cost u spent. Pag boys talaga mabilis umayaw sa party buti na lang yung panganay ko nakapag big party na nung 5th nya. Kasi ngayon ayaw na nya talaga ng party. Next year 7th bday nya everyone is expecting a big party again. Sabi ko no big party na kase ayaw na.

@princessrio - sori sis hindi ako makapag pm. sa celadon park alveo katabi ng sm san lazaro ang venue ng party ng baby ko. need ng sponsor para makapagbook sa kanila. kung me sponsor, 10k yung function room B nila for 100pax den 15k yung 150 pax plus 5k na bond pero refundable naman yun. maganda yung venue kaso hindi ok ang service. as in venue lang yun. kaw na magprovide lahat. bawal magdikit! tinarayan ko lang yung guard kasi nga ang mahal ng venue tas ganun.  kahit maaga kame dumating, saktong 12nn pa din yung ingress. pinahirapan din nila caterer ko. hindi nila pinagamit ng service elevator eh 2nd floor pa naman yun. lahat ng gamit dinaan lang sa hagdan. kawawa nga eh. wala din sila trolley para mapabilis. wala din ladder para maayos ang ceiling decor.  as in wala lahat kundi venue lang! kahit maganda ang venue, badtrip naman sa service sis. BIG NO NO for my recommendation! buti na lang nabawi sa decorations and side entertainments kaya nagenjoy ang mga guests ko.
