Hello! We would be having our daughter's binyag and first bday in one event on September. As of now, nagstart palang ako sa pagiinquire and all.

For the Church, naka-book nako sa Santuario de San Antonio.

But for the venue, I'm still weighing the pro's and con's ng pagrerent ng venue and cater or isang resto nalang.
Options ko for resto: Kamay Kainan Market Market, Texas Roadhouse sa High Street, Max's Global
For venue naman if in case: Social Hall ng Santuario with Gashville Party Package

Feedbacks and suggestions needed po!

Thanks!!!

[Nhetskii]

Mga Sis!!

Nag start na ako mag canvass for my son's first birthday party. Nung binyag kasi nya, di kami naghanda. as in pagkabingyag, picture taking lang tapos nagbigay na lang ako ng box of cupcakes para sa ninong ninang then uwian na. Wala kasi talaga kaming budget dahil sobrang laki ng binayaran namin sa hospital nung manganak ako.. (pre-eclampsia)  First time mom din ako kaya talagang medyo nalungkot ako nang di ko kinayang makapag handa para sa binyag... kaya eto, promise ko sa sarili ko, pag iipunan ko talaga first birthday ng baby ko kahit maliit lang ang maging budget.. i'll make sure na maganda at enjoyable... kaya kahit nxt year pa ang bday nya super gather na ko ng ideas.. I hope marami pa akong makuhang ideas dito...

Thanks! 

@sweetestCORN

sis congrats sa party! galing ng budget mo.. san ang venue ng party mo? dito ko sa mandaluyong area eh.. naghahanap din ako ng magandang venue... Thanks 

[sweetestCORN]

Sis nhetskii sa Tarlac kami e pero i'm sure makakahanap ka din ng ganito almost everything DIY ako kaya nakamura. Kami nag pump ng balloons and i made around 24 paper pompoms. Tapos nagpa cater na lang ako 220/head. 70/head for the kids kasi spag+chicken lang.

[Nhetskii]

sis sweetestCORN thanks sa reply.

Sana nga makahanap ako ng magandang venue. Gusto ko din talaga ang DIY kasi bukod sa mas makakamura na, may nag eenjoy ako pag ako ang gumagawa... may personal touch pa...

Thank God at lahat sa list ay mag nag sponsor, plus my parents were generous at binigyan si baby ng 10k.

^ i saw your post sa n@w sis and sobrang helpful talaga nito! I just started brain storming for my son's 3rd birthday and of course the venue was the first thing on my list

kakabackread ko lang and naluwa ako sa mga nagastos ng iba. parang pangkasal na! I spent less than 20k for my son's baptism in 2011 and 30k plus for my son's 1st birthday both for 60 pax. my budget for my son's 3rd birthday is within the same range din like these 2. im planning on doing a lot of DIYs and sourcing my artistic friends' help na din.

[sistah!]

^ ako din actually, nagulat sa mga expenses ng mga sis natin dito. like you, I spent about 20K for my daughter's dedication and less than 40K for her 1st birthday. Of course, 50 pax lang lagi ang cap ko sa guests kasi I keep it to just family and close friends.

for my kid's 3rd party, I think I will go fastfood na lang ulit.

I was very keen in spending "just enough" kasi malapit na din graduation ng sis ko.
So doble gastos talaga.

Here's my breakdown:

Venue: Jollibee Bluewave Macapagal Blvd, Pasay  18,400 for 100PAX
Cake: Goldilocks    4,700
DIY Decors (kasi ayoko ng theme nila... hehe)  8,000 anime ang theme
Dessert Buffet with Free Chocolate Fondue  (CANDYConfettiPH) 3,500
Outfit ni Bagets: 4k Oshkosh and Garfield combined, then 2k for his Detective Conan outfit
Souvenir: Assorted Anime Stuff from Divi 1,500 muntik pang hindi makalusot sa jollibee kasi bawal daw ang may characters na souvenir if not theme-based. Ay! No way! Hehe... In the end, wagi pa din ako.

TOTAL: 42,100 (Just enough pala ha... LOL) 

[yang]

4mos to go. di pa ko decided ano ba talaga. hold it sa club house o sa resto/fastfood. budget din. i cannot go beyond 50k.

[daveigh]

^ then resto is the way to go sis. I had ours and around 50k lang ako . =)

[yang]

^ saan resto kayo sis? although walang charge yun venue ko.

[daveigh]

^ Shakeys sis. Try mo Don Henricos, Kenny Rogers (cheap lang packages nila tapos madaming food). Walang charge ang venue nila.
