hi everyone!! just sharing my bay's first birthday party experience...first off, super stressful pala no? parang masnakakaloka ito as compared
[textspeak!] wedding ko! Anyway eto na:
PP: Pink & Peach
Cost: P80,000 (130 adults & 40 kids)
Inclusions: catering (Bell), decors, balloons, photobooth, invitations (30 pieces), 2 food carts (cotton candy & fries), facepainting station (dapat may kiddie salon/nail art din but hindi ko nakita ito), pabitin/balloon burst, mascots (Mickey & Minnie), & magician host (Chayno)
Rating: I think it's value for money naman! Since it included na a lot of things for the party plus madame naman servings nun food carts and the food was also good. We even had our food tasting at home e! Ms. Aileen of Pink & Peach was very easy to deal with. I guess ang naging issue ko lang with them was nun day itself Ms. Aileen left and put her sister Viance in charge of the party. Nakakastress kasi siya as in! She seems lost whenever I ask her about updates and parang missing in action din siya parati during the party. Good thing Aileen came back!! Oh and this wasn't mentioned to me prior to the party but it seems meron palang "shifting" talaga ang mga suppliers like 11am - 2pm then 3-6pm. Kasi when i ask where the host or mascots were, they told me na meron silang unang event pa. So ayun for future reference make sure na your party will fit into their schedules ( i mean dapat either 11 am start mo or 3 pm). In fairness, the program proceeded smoothly naman so at the end of the day ok naman!
About Chayno (host), super happy rin ako with him kasi the kids loved him and even the adult guests were laughing at his jokes! so good thing kasi medyo konti na lang un nababasa kong comments about him here kaya i got worried din but yun naman pala he's really great at what he does!
Cake: Sugar Box
Cost: 6,000
Rating: Super nice the cake!! I got a cupcake tower with toppers na faces nila Mickey & friends (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kasi theme e) plus a blowing cake. Was surprised to see that the blowing cake was big as well! i expected it kasi na small round cake lang e but it turned out to be a 2 layer birthday cake na rin! sorry i don't have pictures pa from the party e but as soon as i have i will share here. I got assorted flavors for the cuppies and then chocolate for the blowing cake. Ms. Emily is really the best!
Mickey Mouse Lollipops: Sweet Li'l Soles
Cost: P1,800 (with free stand)
Rating: Very good pastillas!!
Mickey shaped pastillas lollies kasi ito. It was very cute and naubos nga agad e!! i hope na picturan nun photog!!
Photo/Video: Cinematic Babies
Cost: P18,000
Rating: Very good!! They were very early at the venue. And even tried helping the foodcart people (forgot to add this sa taas na comment ko -- PLEASE remind your food cart/PP if they need yun mga adaptor things for their electronic stuff, to bring them and not forget them! stress din ito nun!). Anyway, they were very attentive and were continuously taking a lot of shots plus suggesting din how to get good shots of baby. Hopefully the pictures are also nice! Will update once i get them! As per our contract, they have to give me the pictures & the video after 1 month e.
Venue: Patio de Manila
Cost: P12,000 plus P2000 security deposit
Rating: I got this kasi it was the cheapest that i found!! hehe
This was actually suggested by my PP. the venue was very spacious and well lit naman siya even without the additional lights (kasi i thought i had to get the additional lights pa but buti na lang Ms. Aileen went there during a party and said na sufficient naman yun lights na). Ang problem lang is medyo mahirap siya hanapin since hindi siya visible from the main road. That's why I asked my PP to place a tarp at the entrance para at least the guests will see from the road where to go. Oh and the restrooms were not that clean so siguro better request na they should clean it or have a utility person there during events.
Ayun that's it!
