[sachism]

my daughter's bday was last Sat and Im glad I did not exceed the budget (excluding the cost of our outfits)

[greize]

violinist: lechon is already included in the package sis. re: food, 2 viands lang ang included sa package. ok naman ang lasa esp the beef with mushroom tips. food tasting nila is via prestige cruises so you can take the advantage na din para makapagcruise sa manila bay

^thanks sa info sis. We had our party at chili's gb5 too pero d sila payag sa bizu dessert spread ha kaya i asked you sis sino supplier mo.

[mishyewarians]

my son's bday @ timezone g4 was around 40k

[ronalene]

^thanks sa info sis. We had our party at chili's gb5 too pero d sila payag sa bizu dessert spread ha kaya i asked you sis sino supplier mo.

wala naman silang restriction sa akin pati chocolate fountain pinayagan nila, kaya ko din nagustuhan ang chilis kasi walang masyadong kaartehan.

[stormy]

^ yes, sana pala i got candy buffet na lang payag nga raw sila. Dessert buffet kasi yun nirequest ko.

@greize -- sis I'm so happy to see ur post! I'm also planning a Mickey mouse Clubhse theme for my baby boy's 1st bday. Ok ba yun mascots nila na Mickey? Nashock ako na they have mascots na Mickey dito. Ok ba yung decor and entertainment na kasama dun SA package mo? TIA!

[greize]

^yes sis. ok yung mga mascots! super love them! mickey addict kasi ako kaya di pwedeng walang mickey mascots. hihi! Good thing nakita ko yung mascots ni pink and peach. may iba kasing suppliers na di masyadong kamukha si mickey di ba tapos 2500 yung rate. eh yung kay PPP, 3k/mascot kaya ok na din at least medyo hawig nung nasa disney. hehe.

nakakatuwa nga kasi nung lumabas sila, matagal bago sila nakarating sa stage area kasi pinagkaguluhan na. ayaw ng bitawan ng mga kids sa may entrance. happy ako na namanage din ni chayno, our host, ang crowd.
nagprepare sila ng dance number. tapos kasama namin sila sa candle blowing.
matagal na naman sila nakapagexit kasi binakuran naman ng mga adults yung mga mascots para makapagpapicture. hihi! .. and bago sila tuluyang umalis, kasama namin sila nagpapicture sa photobooth.

chayno was our host. maraming good feedbacks sa kanya dito kaya inupgrade ko yung package. dapat kasi si butch gonzales yun pero naisip ko, si chayno kasi nagcocostume din ng mickey jumsuit kaya pasok sa theme. fluent in english and attentive ang mga kids sa mga games nya. i liked his approach kung paano nya pasasalihin yung mga adults sa games. well, it's new to me. overall, worth it naman ang pagupgrade ko sa kanya.

for the venue dressup, dun ako naging happy din kasi naexecute lahat ng requests ko. initially, kasama sa balloon package ko eh ceiling balloons, pillars, entrance arch, table centerpiece, cake arch at balloon burst. pinalit ko yung pillars and entrance arch sa additional ceiling balloons kasi ang hirap iuwi ng mga yun and ang request ko kasi sa styro entrance signage eh styro arch na parang "mickey park" so no need na maglagay ako ng balloons sa entrance.
nagbigay ako ng preferred design sa cake arch tapos ginawa nya at mas maganda pa
yung sa table centerpieces naman, pinaconvert ko din na simple centerpiece lang pero may mickey print + stuff toy.
yung balloon burst, naginstruct lang ako na 10red balloons (for the major prizes) tapos yung iba, other colors na. binigyan nya ako ng free table centerpiece set dahil last minute nagpadagdag ako ng adult table and 2 plant balloons sa may entrance.
about the swags, 4 colors lang ang nasa contract pero 5 colors ang nakita ko sa event
may mga accents din sya na dinagdag sa ceiling and it's free overall, dami ko freebies and nagmukhang festive ang venue dahil sa colorful setup!

[prettysherry]

^hi sis!! thanks for your inputs ha!! Baka il get pink and peach na rin for my son's party! i already emailed her na nga and mabilis naman magreply.  Katuwa nga kasi she referred to your package when i inquired e! Even sent me yun actual package mo. hehe shempre i said na its because of your post here kaya i inquired about their package! Helpful nga siya e even now pa lang kasi she was the one who gave me a listing of possible venues and at least now may potential na ako na venue! YEY!!

Sis ask ko lang paano mo inask yung entrance arch mo? Super ganda kasi din e! Freebie lang ba yun? I love nga un mickey stuffed toys sa centerpieces niya e! Nauwi mo naman yun di ba? Ay nga pala ask ko lang, may mga lighting din ba sila and sounds? Or u got a different supplier for that pa?

[greize]

^accomodating talaga si ms ai. about the styro entrance arch, sinabi ko lang na gusto ko ng arch kasi may nakita din naman akong sample nya before kaya yun ang pinili ko. yung stuff toys, wala akong nauwi kasi kinuha na ng mga guests. since parehas naman na package tayo, ispecify mo nalang sis. wala nang additional cost yun

yung lights sa stage, kasama na sa package ng styro backdrop. yung sound system, kasama na sa package ni chayno. most naman ng mga class A magicians, may nga sound system na. may bubble machine din pala si chayno na kasama sa package nya (aside from sis m@m@'s bubble machine)

[prettysherry]

^sige sis will ask her na Lang din about the arch....shocks inuwi lahat ng guests un stuffed Mickey? Hehe well I guess ganun talaga! Sis ask Ko Lang pano mo na contact is Sheryberry for the cake? I inquired kasi from Frupcakes/Niji desserts kaso may potential booking na siya for my date e sadness! Unfortunately un kitchen krafts, d Ko pa rn macontact as in.

Sis pasenxa na SA questions Ko. I saw pala na u got un photo coverage nila, ok ba? May free album b yun or labor Lang? Thanks super sis!

[greize]

^we got child lounge's promo package. 5k yung rate. inclusions - teaser video, full edited video, unlimited shots stored in dvd. nag allocate din sila ng time para makapag shoot kami sa may playground na parang "pre-event" na din before magstart ng program. di ko pa nakita yung full edited video eh. ok naman yung mga shots pero hindi kasing outstanding ng mga refined photographers. di na ako nagavail ng photobook kasi kumuha ako ng voucher sa fotosnaps para ako na gawa ng album ko.

sis, di ko na sagutin yung sa cake ha kasi nabasa ko sa ibang thread na booked na si ms shery

[prettysherry]

^hi sis!! its ok sis...medyo challenging talaga for me yang cake na yan! haizt!

Anyway, i asked na rin Ms. Ai about the arch and everything else and she agreed naman! yey! wala pa kasi akong photobooth kaya i'm also considering yung photobooth niya.  Ah so hindi pala masyadong ok yung P/V niya...pero the video ok naman ba? In fairness ang mura nun ha 5k lang! So far kasi above 10k un mga nakikita ko e!

Thanks sis ha!!

[greize]

^marami naman syang p/v suppliers sis na mairerecommend nya. i just opted na thru her nalang yung booking ko with childlounge para sita nalang kausapin ko about everything.
happy preps!
