@pia - junior masterchef yung sa australia. cute nga nila! and yung knives nila!

@lisa - sa accenture ako nagwowork. naku! just found out kanina na lilipat kami sa Libis by July! mas malapit sa amin and less traffic. Pero hindi na talaga pwede si Abba's. Yung Britesparks meron dun kaso may panget na review.

@hel - oo sakin din send lang ng measurements kay Prim (tama ba?) tapos naglalagay na lang siya ng allowance. ok naman kinalabasan. link na lang ng pics ang lagay mo dito sis.

@twelvth_goddess - depende daw sa branch ng Shakey's and sa kausap mo kung papayag sila. Meaning merong nakakalusot, merong hindi. Sikat ata yung Shakey's El Pueblo sa Kid's Parties thread.

marcia and pia, i don't think na bawal pero ang weird lang, text speak and quote? asan naman kaya sa posts ko mga yun? ::) may nagmumulto sa mga posts ko at baka nirereport kahit na may makitang 1 post lang na may quote or text speak, e minsan kahit you don't use text speak, d lumalabas yung buong word. btw eto yung pm na nakuha ko twice last night:

marose, yung playtex liners i think it'll work for me since meron ako yung pangseal here na clips from ikea. yung nanny bags siguro pahanap ko sa parents ko dyan in manila, or ask my brother to go to rockwell to buy it for me. LOL. cya ang personal shopper ko from time to time sa pinas since my parents are always stucked at going to SM. nakagawian na nila i guess.

re: venue, i'm thinking somewhere sa north ave or commonwealth banda basta d aabot ng libis kasi baka malayuan na ang mga thundercatz guests namin lol ;D hubby suggested quezon city sports club which is ok naman for me pero la kami idea if kailangan thru club member namin idaan ang reservation if ever :-\

speaking of theme, dito ako napapakamot ulo ngayon. iniisip ko disney babies pero parang ang common naman :-\ i think kailangan ko magbrowse around the net para magkaroon ng idea.

sis Marcia, ganyan na lang nga po send na lang ako ng measurements kay babyfashionista. di pa ako nakapag-email sa kanyan nag-browse pa lang ako sa multiply site niya. atska tumitingin tingin pa ako sa iba ng racer suit costume pero yung design niya gusto ko, basta i'll allot na 2500 for the costume.

i'm thinking of having another costume or red polo shirt na lang pampalit ni gelo. ang hinahanap ko naman is yung pwedeng gumawa ng pit stop crew jacket. kahit red polo shirt with patches lang pero yung sa akin gusto ko girly version na car racer suit. hehe

gusto ko rin ng dessert station kaso ang layo kaso dito ng ako sa province wala naman mga suppliers nyan dito. so naisip ko na pwedeng alternative is mag set-up na lang ako dessert station version dito or candy buffet na lang bili na lang ako ng glass jar containers tie a black and white checkered cloth as accent para sabay sa cars theme then bili na lang ng mga candies, sweets tapos hiramin ko na lang yung chocolate fountain ng aunt ko ako na lang bahala sa chocolate na gagamitin and sa mga dippers

for invitations and save the date cards enough na ba ang 1.5k to 2k na budget?

with guests, ang budget niyo lang ba at lootbags and giveaways na ipreprepare eh sakto lang talaga sa number of invited guests like for 80 persons lang or nagpapasobra pa kayo? gusto ko sana eh 80 guests lang - 50 adults and 30 kids tapos pasobra pa ata for additional 10 adults and 10 kids? so bale 100....

wala talaga akong idea for budget, kaya now tinitingnan ko yung mga price list ng mga suppliers para may idea ako kung how much ang kailangan or dapat kong iallot.

Van, if sugar and spice doesnt reply til he weekend, i will consider my chocolate heaven na. also email pala sanfo treats. will check that out also. may dessert/candy buffet din sila.

waiting for passion cooks to get back to me on my custom menu. if total catering + plus venue rental cost is more than total cpk cost, cpk na lang ako. pwede naman padecorate ng baloons. yon nga lang, have to ask about the candy bar pa. will meet up with them on saturday.

Hel, IMO lang, no need for save the date cards na siguro. and loot bags i think kids lang binibigyan. pati give away yata.

di pala ako nagbudget ng invites. :( dagdag nanaman ito. or text brigade na lang kaya? hehe.

naku. mukhang mapapa-shakey's na din ako ah.

ito kasi breakdown ko ngayon:
venue - possibly valle 4 clubhouse 10k + 2k refundable bond
catering - passion cooks - wala pang quote but i am allotting 45k
host - alex l - 11500
cake and cupcakes - bunny baker 11k
video - kung si zoombox 6500
balloon decor ni apple - 10k
photgrapher - freelancer na usual na ginagamit ng cousin ko sa event business niya 8k
food carts - 5600
dessert/candy station - wala pang reply si sugar and spice pero 5000 kaya ok na?

wala pang loot bags, prizes, give aways yan. pati ako namamahalan.

thinking maybe either food carts OR dessert/candy station na lang.
or maybe no more balloon centerpieces, regular centerpieces na lang from the caterer.
considering na din our clubhouse as venue. malayo lang kasi paranaque pa. 2k lang rent.

or nga, mag shakey's na din ako.

Van, update me naman please how your visit to shakey's el pueblo goes. saw some photos of their function room and mukhang pahaba?

eh pero kung mag shakey's party ako kailangan ko pa ba si alex l?

nalilito na ako.

o taasan ko na budget ko to 120k?

kasi nanghihinayang ako kasi di naman matatandaan ni baby. gusto ko ng party pero ayaw ko ng mahal na party.  :-\  :-\  :-\

^same with me sis ako yung kuring samin ni hubby (palibhasa d ako nagwowork LOL feeling ko wa ako K gumastos kasi masyado) pero etong si hubby kanina pinaguusapan namin venue sabi ko parang namamahalan ako if 8k - 12k ang rental fee sa mga clubhouse, say naman nya okay lang daw yun.

another dilemma i have now: number of guests. sa barkada palang ni hubby, atleast 20 na. tapos relatives pa namin! mukhang abutin kami ng 100 nito. nyay :-X

lisa,got the email na pala, kakabasa ko lang. ty :-* ako naman nalilito sa kakabackread, research at browse ng mga ideas and suppliers. yung theme nga hanggang ngayon wala pa akong maisip na gustong gusto ko talaga. hmmm, sesame street kaya? or circus? gusto ko colourful ;D

korek, hindi pa nila matatandaan at maeenjoy yan kasi baby pa sila. my friends said nga na simple party will be enough at bumawi na lang pag may muwang na ang anak.

^sakin if budget permits, gora lang ;D i personally never experienced birthday parties when i was a kid even binyags and such kasi and somehow i know how it feels like na ni video o pic man lang wala akong mabalikan. ni debut nga d ako nakapagdebut dahil may kontrabida, but that's another story already :) and pagsasabayin naman namin child dedication and 1st birthday so keri narin. mas kuring lang talaga ako kaysa kay hubby LOL ;D :P

Grayce, same here :) kung may budget, why not! Haha. Saka na kapag bigtime na ko. Baka after 48years pa! But seriously, pareho tayo na feeling walang K kasi wala din akong work.

Brendz, okay lang kahit simple or engrandeng party as long as happy si baby at kasama nya ang loved ones nya on his birthday :)

Maui, thanks sis! Masarap daw sakanya? Affordable din? Yan din nirecommend sakin ng isang friend ko eh. San ka umorder ng cake/cuppes nung birthday ni AJ?

Hello mommies! di masyado madaldal mommies yesterday ha, di ako nanhirapang mag-back read  ;D Salamat sa mga bumati kay Y  :D

Lisa - laki na ng budget mo ah, and ang dami mo na nalista  :D Honestly, mahal talaga si Passion Cooks. Pero yung 45K na nilagay mo, actually yan ang budget ko sa food for 70 adults and 30 kids (PC na yan ha). Pero since di PC ang get ko, yan pa din allot ko or sa computation ko nga parang lesser na. You should consider giving up Sugar N' Spice kase mukhang pricey yun, try MyChocolate Heaven na lang, minimum is 3500. And sa computation ko ngayon, naka 3100 pa lang ako, dame na rin. Dadagdag pa ako para mas maganda dating ng dessert bar.

Since may lootbags na, I don't plan on giving giveaways na. I think yun na din naman yun eh (for some). But, I'd like to ask mga mommies of how much should I allot in LootBags, Ikakarga sa Lootbags(sorry di ko alam term) and Prizes? Yan na lang kase ang walang amount sa list ko. Once I have that, I will share na yung prospected amount for my daughter's 1st birthday  ;)

And re parties, okay lang kahit di engrandeng party as long as may CAKE and PRESENT si baby, ayos na!  :D

Marcia, may Abba's Orchard sa Katipunan-Blue Ridge, malapit lang sa Eastwood. ;)

Lisa and Grayce, kapag clubhouse party, aabutin talaga ng 100k or more.  Pero malalaman ni baby in time how you really prepared for her birthday.  At matutuwa siya na may ganoon siyang party noong first birthday niya. :D

Jen, may balak ka bang magpa-customize ng lootbags?  Depende diyan kasi ang magiging sagot ko.  Pero kung budgetarian, magagawan natin ng paraan na huwag masyadong gumastos sa lootbags and prizes.  Andyan ang Divi Mall!  Dito ko sa GT na-discover iyan.

^marose - yup customize siya  :D I'm looking at 80-100 per piece, okay na ba yun? yung parang mga bags, lunchkit or backpacks ata yun. Considering po ang 30 kids ha =) Pag babies ba like infants, kelangan din bigyan lootbags?

^ Check mo ang Personalized Picks sa Multiply.  Sa kanya ako kumuha last year.  Madaling kausap.  Mukhang pasok sa budget mo.   :)  Pulido ang gawa.  Mga ni-refer ko sa kanya, nasiyahan naman sa finished product.

Kapag babies, puwedeng wala ng lootbags kasi di pa naman sila masyadong aware diyan.  Siguro token toy.  Pero kahit di pa naman nila magagamit agad, puwedeng gamitin ni yaya, lalagyan ng gamit pag lalabas sila (kung bag ha). ;)

Bale, yung laman ng loot bags, puwedeng i-budget at sa Divi na lang kukunin.

Grayce, if you want near Commonwealth, puwede sa clubhouse ng LGV kasi lapit lang naman T. Sora and yung shortcut na road sa may Celebrity Sports tapos Katipunan na.  Puwede kitang i-sponsor.  Hindi lang ako updated sa rates.

Mas maganda though ang clubhouse ng Ayala Hillside Estates - dito si Kelsey na anak ng isang SG mommy din, her name escapes me at the moment pero ang handle niya ay stacey30.  Gustong-gusto ko ang decor sa party ni Kelsey, kaya naging fan ako ng Kidstar Kastles dahil diyan.

Sa QC sports, dapat may sponsor at may sarili yata silang catering.

Good Morning mommies!!!

party party pa din pala ang topic...relate ako hehe
Share ko lang-- nahabol ko yung price lock for Verleo <yey!> magtaas kasi sila ng price starting april so para old rate pa din, dapat mag-DP until today ;) so kahapon, nakisuyo ako kay tatay ko na nandyan sa pinas para mag-bank deposit.. ayun success! Side kwento pa, natawa ko sa kanya (tatay ko) nag-text kasi ko using postpaid # ko dito para deposit details tapos calling ako sa kanya gamit prepaid# ko, hindi sumasagot. After 2 hours, nakausap ko sya-- icheck ko lang dapat kung na-receive nya text ko pero dere2cho sya, nag-deposit na daw sya... tatawagan nya na dapat ako... kinabahan pala sya na baka naloko sya dahil iba2 yung number na nag-[textspeak!] & call sa kanya hehe naisip nya lang after ma-deposit no... so nakahinga na sya nung nagka-usap na kmi :)

...sorry napahaba

Marose - okay yun ah! ito checking na the site  :D If let's say 100X30 = 3000 na yun. How much allot ko for the things na lalagay sa lootbag? plus prizes na din if let's say 3X30 kids ha. I'm thinking Divi, ToysRus and Toykingdom.

MauiGS - ganun ba? naku, bakit di sinabe sakin ni Liezl ng Verleo. Nag-usap kame last Tues lang, yesterday di ko naman maharap yun kase monthly bday ni baby  >:( call ko nga siya ngayon. Di sinabi sakin! Tsk tsk tsk!

hello everyone!

lisa, ako din, di ko na sama si katie kasi balak ko magcommute lang at di magpadrive. my god! ang laki ng budget mo ha.. doble ng stretched budget ko which is 60K. try mo kaya magcheck ng alternative suppliers? like sa photo and video parang ang pricey pareho. you might want to consider na isa na lang baka mabigyan ka pa ng discount. i thought cpk ang alternative mo or pati shakeys na din?

sisses, nag-iisip ako kanina. kasi nga baka mahirapan ako execute ang sleeping beauty na theme. pajama party kaya? para at least close pa din sa pagiging sleepyhead. haha! ewan, ang hirap mag-isip ng theme.. any suggestion?
