FOR CEDRIC'S 7TH BIRTHDAY

VENUE: BLUE LEAF BANYAN HALL 10/10
Excellent venue. It's really clean and spacious



KIDSTAR KASTLES:
I can give KK for 10/10.
They have exceeded my expectations. Super nice si Imma first time ko say nakita nakakaintimidate lang say peer once u get to know her ok na. May kinonsider ako iba planner peer iba young kay Imma. Naging festive talaga young venue namen. Dami nay tinulong saken na nagpagaan sa event namen. She offered to do some things for me. If only based lang kami sa Pinas i'll booked them again sa next event namen.

HOST:APOLLO 9/10
I love Apollo, he's super funny. Nakuha talaga nay mga guests ko kids and adults
I gave him 9/10 kase di nay diniscuss saken young program para nasabi ko young bang highlights.

ENTERTAINTER:LOU HILARIO 10/10
Lou gave us an excellent entertainment for kids and adults. I love his magic illusions. Super saya talaga si Ced. He's also nice to me. Minsan binibigyan nya ako ng mga advices sa party.

CATERING:JOSIAH'S 10/10
Great food!! As their second time client dami nil ginawa extra requests ko. We had enough food for everyone +++ The servers are hardworkers

PHOTOGRAPHER: Michelle Morelos 10/10
I picked Michelle to be one of our photographer kase I love her works hindi OA young editing nya. Hindi nay iniiba young colors basta normal lang same pa din. Yung iba kase di realistic  like nagging kulang blue or purple. She's a sweetheart pa

Nelwin Uy (TEAM B) 10/10
His team arrived on time. We had so much time to take some pics at the Hotel. These young guys are really approachable. My son was so comfortable with them during the preps.

Videographer:Ian Cruz  11/10
EXCELLENT videographer. Actually, after our church wedding Ian became my instant friend. Lagi ko say nakakachat till I planned for Cedric's 7th birthday. He never work as a videographer for kiddie parties first time lang samen. Honestly, pinilit ko lang say. LOL That was nice of him na pumayag naman. Kasama say ni Jason M sa wedding ko that's why I met him. Sabi nya sa hubby ko "challenging to kase di pako gumawa ng kiddie party"
Sabi ko ok lang yan, I trust you!! He smiled at me.. After nay pinakita yung SDE ng anak ko I whispered to him "mas maganda pa yung SDE ni Ced kesa sa wedding ko" LOL

CAKE: LES SUCRERIES 9/10
I gave Veronica 9/10 because she doesn't have a good customer service. I know, she's sick but there are times that she's grumpy when I ask some questions regarding the cake. Parang napipilitan lang say sa ginagawa nay pero na exceed nay expectations ko sa cake. Sana lang mag improve customer service nay

HOTEL FOR PREPS: MANILA PEN 10/10
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

CANDY STATION: GRACIOUS FAVORS 10/10
Grace is so creative when it comes sa works nya. Hindi ako na disappoint talaga

FOODCARTS
TATERS (FRIES/POPCORN) 6/10: My friend booked them kase she got them on her kids birthday party last year. They were nice pero the manager lied to me sabi nay promos daw di sila mag exceed sa wattage na gagamitin. If macharge kami palitan ko nailing ng nachos para di na gumamit ng fryers. Nacharge ako Blue leaf ng 6k for the electricity. 7k young foodcarts nil + electricity para di yata reasonable yup. Sana sinabi nailing nil young totoo diva.

STARBUCKS: 5/10
5/10 lang for starbucks coz the staff were so rude to my friend nun ibook nay sill for me. Tinawag yang tat na client friend ko. Just because nagbook kami maaga tat na kagad sinabi kazoo na wrong send lang sila. Di nil alma nabasa namen We booked them early kase limited lang daw booths nil. Sana isipin muna nil mga text nil bago sill magsend.

THUMBS UP: 10/10
I love the ice cream not too sweet peer ok flavors. They gave us enough ice cream

Hi, mommies!

Just had our daughter's baptism last April 7th. 8 months to go before her first birthday, time flies!

Super proud ako coz I was the only one who planned her baptism, with of course the help of our suppliers and it turned out pretty well. It was a success!! I'm just quoting our guests' comments, mommies

Theme was Sunshine and Pink Lemonade.

Here's the breakdown of our expenses:


Venue: Valle Verde Hall B: 12,000 (7,000 + 5,000 refundable deposit)

Christ the King Baptistry: 3,200

Food by Passion Cooks Catering: 88,000 for 160 pax
Thumbs up to Ms. Ivy for yielding to all my demands kahit super kulit ko. Medyo rush na din when I booked them, three weeks prior our event pero well executed lahat ng demands ko

Candy Buffet: Sweet Nest 6,000 for 80 pax
I have nothing but good words for Ms. Jaz. Super friendly and bait niya. Pinagbigyan niya lahat ng demands ko. She made a candy buffet and memorabilia for our daughter. Ending, nakatipid pa ako. I was supposed to have another supplier for the memorabilia and they're charging me 15K just for it. Kaya super thankful ako that I stumbled upon Ms. Jaz. Beautiful setup and yummy sweets talaga. I'll post her work soon, just waiting for the official photos.

Outside Signage and Wishing Tree by Passion Cooks: 4,000
I'll post photos soon. Very magical ang dating nung wishing tree that they made. The outside signage is very attractive. It helped a lot since may kasabay kami na event sa kabilang hall and our guests had their photos taken sa signage, kakatuwa

Invites by Paperoo Invites by Ann: 2,600 for 40pcs
They made  free-standing invites for my daughter. Super cute and our guests said na pwede na daw souvenir yun. Hehe! They're from Pangasinan pa kaya through text and facebook lang lahat ng planning namin. I gave her the liberty of designing our invites and she did really well, na-surprise talaga sa ganda

Photo by Pau Bengero: 3,500
Pau and Vanessa are super nice. Vanessa has a talent for keeping the baby in focus. Ganda ng shots nila and they just did not focus on my daughter but on the whole event kaya captured lahat great moments with our guests. Great job for the couple.

Party Starters and Inkand Scissors: 1,870
(for banners, bag tag souvenirs for sponsors, paper straws)

Cake Pops for the guests c/o Party Sisters Enterprises: 4,600
Ordered from them 160 cake pops plus three stands. Ang ganda tingnan and the cake pops tasted good as well.

Twisted Candy (sponsors): 1,600

Cake by Mae Yumiaco: 2,000
3-tiered very pretty cake at super sarap siya. She's a friend of my sister and got a good deal from her. She's super nice, too!

Candles by Pink and Purple Creations: 650
Very lovely candles

Host: Renjo, referred to us by Ms. Evelyn Peralta: 5,000

Lechon: Mang Caloy's Lechon Cebu: 8,000

Prizes from S&R and Starbucks: 5,000

Additional Candies for the Dessert Buffet: $230= 9,200
Ordered from Walmart and had them shipped. Mas mura kasi talaga. In all fairness, wrapper na lang natira samin!

Photobooth: Photomaxx (gifted)

Baptismal Gown c/o Rustan's: 3,500

Baby's Reception Outfit from Gap and Gingersnaps: 4,000

Shoes AJ 11 Breds: 3,300

Mom and Dad's Outfit from Cotton On and Forever21: 5,000

Tips: 4,500


TOTAL: 178,000

Hello mga sis! Share ko lang the breakdown of my expenses for my son's 7th birthday.

Theme: F1 Car Racing (color scheme - red, white, black)

Party Organizer - (Mr. Sun Kiddie-Party.com) - inclusions - decors, backdrop, invitation (I gave them a specific design to follow), party hats, name plates, pinata, pabitin, game prizes, lootbags, and party host / magician (in F1 racing costume) - P21,150

Food and Venue - Kowloon House West Ave - 30 kids, 70 adults - P27,200 (includes corkage fees for balloons, cake, rental of kiddie chairs/tables)

Photobooth - P3,500 (in-house from Kowloon)

Tarpaulin for Photobooth (had a customized tarp instead of the one used by Kowloon) - P1,600.00

Photo / Video - JV All Events - P5,100.00

Additional game prizes - from divisoria - P2580.00 

Additional lootbag items (candies, choco, plastic balloon) - P800.00

Cupcakes - 50 pcs - Xialen CakeDelights - P2750

Birthday Cake - from Goldilocks - P4150.00 - used GC's

Glitter Tattoo - forgot the name, recommended by my mom - P2500.00

Racing Costume / Extra Race-themed Shirts (for the bday celebrant) - P800.00


Total Expenses - P67,980.00 - does not include cake from Goldilocks as GC's have been used

I highly recommend Mr. Sun KiddieParty.com. The decors were really ok and the host/magician (Baui) was really superb. The kids and the adults were very much entertained with the games and the magic show.

As for the food and venue (Kowloon House) - average rating lang. There were times na mahirap kausap yung mga reservation people nila, and strict sila in terms of the decorations. It was just good na resourceful yung party organizer, and they were able to find a way to set up all the decors and backdrop. They also turned on the air-conditioning inside the room, just 15 minutes before the event started. We literally had to beg them to turn it on kasi nung una, they said exactly 4pm pa nila io-on. Kung hindi pa nagalit yung father ko and complained na baka ma-heat stroke sya, di pa nila i-on. Ok lang talaga yung food and the service of the waiters (very attentive).

Hope this helps.

So ayun, naka-more or less 60K din ako for my daughter's first birthday. Pero simple lang yung party. we only had 50 guests. Nagpasobra lang talaga ako ng food para pati crew and performers, same food sila sa amin (nakakain sila after umalis ng guests). May take home pa kami!
I didn't realize na ganun ang nagastos naming in total because we paid for them unti-unti. Like I shopped for the lootbags, game prizes early pa so nakatago lang. di ko na naramdaman ang gastos nyan.for the venue, I booked early so I paid ahead of time din. entertainment, cakes, balloons, dessert buffet, I booked them early so I paid 50% lang muna. on the actual day and binayaran na lang namin in full are the photobooth and caterer.

[daveigh]
