Hi sis! Dun sa blog ni mommy topaz , she had 50 guests for her kid's baptism. She had a candy bar, baka ok sa requirement mo.

[aleng_maganda]

  ^^nice party sis, congrats!  buti ka pa nakaraos na. Will wait for your suppliers feedback.

[sachism]

@sis michelleaquino, i ordered from them nung 1st bday ng daughter ko. Ok sa kanila. Ok din CS. I would recommend order in advance kasi nung time ko advance din naman ako nagorder pero nung idedeliver na nagkabagyo. but I admire her post sales CS

[iluvmysoldier]

awww..thank you mga sis!  promise maliit lang talaga budget ko dyan. sige i will post my suppliers feedback sa kabilang thread <---ay dito nalang pala.hehe

@design21 oo nga sis madami na kong narereceive na comments dati na matangkad baby ko. even his pedia sabi matangkad siya for his age

Franco Alexander's 1st birthday
theme: toy story 3

venue: Gaberiele's Place, Marikina Heights, Marikina City-7/10
8,000 for 4 hours
ok yung venue, high ceiling siya and with strong a/c naman so hindi kami nainitan lalo na si baby. Yun lang medyo madilim sa loob kaya pati sa pictures medyo madilim din. Or maybe sa sobrang dami ng balloons natakpan na yung ilaw (?)

Caterer: Ignacio's Catering-8/10
adults 330/head, kids 180/head, lechon-6000 good for 120 pax
the food was delicious, especially yung lechon. we brought home a lot of leftovers, pati relatives namin nakapagbalot. kaso my mom got mad when she saw the waiters daw were making balot din. hindi masolve solve ang "the case of the missing lumpiang sariwa" that night. lol very particular mom ko sa ganyan coz we own a restaurant din and we do not allow our waiters to do that. except of course kung yung nagpacater mismo nagsabi.

Balloon Decor & Event Styling: Pink & Peach Party-10/10
Package-50k
We were so satisfied with what sis Aileen and her staff did to the place. Sobrang daming balloons! lahat ng guests napapawow pagkapasok ng venue. And as early as 9am nasa venue na sila nagseset up kaya even before mag 3pm tapos na lahat.  Very courteous din ng staff niya tapos si sis Aileen naman sobrang ok kausap, we just met a week before the party and nasunod naman lahat ng gusto ko. Plus I didn't have to worry about a thing during the party coz they got it all covered. Hassle-free party talaga.

Cake: Sherryberry Sweets-8/10
7800
I liked the design of the cake, parang toys lang talaga yung mga toppers. Yun lang pagdating sa taste eh medyo nakulangan sa chocolate mom ko. And hindi rin siya masiyadong moist.

Host: Flooch-8/10
12k
Ok din si flooch, naentertain naman ang guests lalo na sa magic show and ventri act niya. Comment lang ng dad ko medyo hindi marunong si flooch makiramdam sa audience. Kasi at first he was conversing to the kids in english kaya medyo naintimidate yung ibang kids. Tagalog naman kasi talaga kami kaya sabi ng dad ko na pagsabihan daw si flooch so yun after siya nasabihan nagtagalog naman siya.  Saka nagtaka lang ako bakit hindi kami pinagthank you ni flooch sa mga guests at wala rin birthday message ang parents for the celebrant. Nagmamadali? 

photobooth & face painting c/o Pink & Peach Party-8/10
yung photobooth medyo matagal bago maprocess yung pictures, parang mga 5 mins. yata. And sobrang tagal din ng time in between shots kaya nangangawit na kami kakasmile wala pa rin 
face painting ok din kaso konting kids lang nagpalagay.

Photo & Video: J.V. All Events & Child Lounge
10k
I intentionally got 2 suppliers to cover the event kasi family ko medyo atat pagdating sa pictures. Eh based on the reviews of our fellow GT sisters eh medyo matagal nga itong childlounge so I got J.V. as a back up photographer. Sa kanya yung mga raw shots pati raw video of the whole program.

Food Cart c/o Pink & Peach Party-10/10
Nagustuhan ng guests yung french fries and cotton candy lalo na yung kids. Medyo matagal kami nagstart kaya yun muna pinagkaabalahan nila sa labas.

Arce Dairy Ice Cream-10/10
7k
Dito ako sobrang natuwa.  Mom ko nagrequest nyan kasi she loves their pistachio ice cream kaya arce dairy kinuha namin.  All the guests were raving about the ice cream talaga. Sobrang creamy at hindi siya nakakasawa. Ang nirequest naming flavors BLueberry cheesecake, Pistachio and Ube pero pagdating sa party nagadd pa sila ng Strawberry and Rocky Road. Sobrang dami! Lahat pabalik balik para kumuha pero hindi siya maubos ubos. Ang dami pa naming nauwing ice cream nasa 4 gallons pa. Sobrang sulit!

Giveaways: Cowboy pillows by Shop Til U Drop- 10/10
7k
Sobrang nakakatuwa yung mga designs na ginawa nila. Lahat ng guests nacutean. 

Lootbags: Personalized Picks-10/10
6k
Nice din siya compared sa usual lootbags na made of paper bags/plastics. Atleast ito magagamit pang lunch box or kikay kit ng mga kids 

Other party details:
Toy Story Themed Invitation by KimiF1 Creations-3k for 70 pcs
My son's cowboy outfit from Mothercare-1800
soldier outfit MTO from a tailor at Headquarters, Phil. Army- 1150
hubby's polo c/o Greenhills-900
my outfit c/o SM dept. store- 1800
cowboy hat c/o Regina's at Shoppesville- 99 pesos each

whew! ang haba! 

[aleng_maganda]

^oo nga yung kay flooch, last year during my son's 5th, hindi din nya kami tinawag to say thank you sa mga guest or bday greeting.

 sis, pwede malaman kung san ka nag pabook ng arce dairy? Favorite din yan dito sa house.
