how much did you spend for your kids party part II

[marose17]

^ Yup, two years ago.  I used to see your posts in the wedding threads.   Actually, I had another caterer in mind but when I inquired with Maja (kasi na-curious ako sa mga feedback), she made everything easy for me.  I had a lot of fun planning that party.

I'm also starting to plan my baby's first birthday (next February pa), first and foremost is the guest count and budget. I want to keep to a 100K budget but I have no idea how many guests my parents and in-laws would want to invite.

Hi I'm just a newbie here, I don't know why I can't send personal messages so I just quoted you here. I am planning for my son's first birthday party and happened to search your multiply site, and saw all the parties that you threw for your daughters, and I must say those were fabulous! I've been meaning to ask you about some things about the preparation and venues. I hope you don't mind sending me a pm for your email address. Thank you in advance!

Post modified. Please use the ^ or @ sign instead of quoting long posts. Thanks!

Hi mga mommies I know im not in the right place. but I just want to know if there's anyone who experienced of Ms len and Mr Jojo performance for hosting and magic which is better. thanks  I need your inputs mga mommies..

[izabelle]

^^ ayos din talaga ang jollibee party i want my daughter to experience jollibee or mcdo party din kapag 3 years old or 4 years old na sya. parang lahat kasi ng bata parte ng buhay nila si jollibee

^ We got PC for my kids' third birthday two years ago.  Haay, ang sarap ng food and maganda styling.  Madali pang kausap sina Maja and Melissa.

^ I agree. PC is very accommodating and easy to deal with. Parang ako pa ang nahiya kay Melissa sa dami ng last minute requests ko. And yes, even the picky guests love the food! For me medyo pricey pero worth it naman kase the taste is not the usual and masarap pa! :-)

Hi Marose17 & Stolich18: Hope you don't mind - how much per head roughly were your package from Passion Cooks and what was the menu like? I loooove how they style their events but I don't want to spend so much din naman... 

Matagal pa my baby's first bday party but I'm planning na coz we're expecting it to be a big thing, kasi sa Chinese (which is my side) major event ang first bday party and I got away na with a small binyag so for sure my parents will expect and really push for a bigger party this time. 

[marose17]

^ It's a good thing I kept my records from two years ago.

For adults - P485/head nett

Quiche Lorraine
Three mushrooms pasta
Grilled beef kebabs
Roast herbed pork with marble potatoes
Baked chicken galantine
Steamed rice
Panna cotta and chocolate lazy cake
Fresh fruit juice with fruit bits

For kids (plated) - P280 nett

Cheese sticks
Baked macaroni
Mini pizza bread
Pork barbecue
Marble chocolate cake

For crew meals (for the suppliers) - P250 nett, same as adult menu

[prettysherry]

^wow sis! affordable din pala ang prices ng PC! i thought kasi they're expensive and masmahal pa pala ang hizon's! i got to try them at a friend's party and masarap nga food nila. i think sila din ang isa sa mga top choices for caterer ng bro ko for his wedding next year e. 

[stormy]

^sis iba presyo nila sa wedding at 2 yrs ago pa yang presyo ni marose ha para d ka mabigla in case mag-inquire ka. Dati rin kasi nakakakuha pa ako ng 450/head sa kanila e itong recent namin 2 viands lang 500/head na (with soup at salad). Sabagay 50 pax lang naman. Nagbabago rin kasi ang presyo depende sa guaranteed # of guests

[cldy_1981]

^naisip din namin mag fast food party like mcdo or jollibee party for my baby's 1st bday tapos bonggahan ko nalang ibang details ng party like nice cake, nice balloons, etc, pero nung nag compute ako ang mahal din pala ng gastos.. yun nga halos 100k din.. kaya naisip ko gorabells nalang ako sa 1st plan namin.
