Re: Planning A Kiddie Party On Your Own III

[k_heart]

^he!he!thanks sis Kady,nagtitipid kasi kami.ha!ha! Pero,yah better to get na lang a photographer.

[Kady_14]

^ Ako din ngtitipid nun, ako ang gumastos lahat kasi ayaw ng asawa ko mag-birthday pa, gusto nya mag-HK na lang or SG. Eh matigas ulo ko. hahahaha... Me kapatid ka ba? Mag-paki ka na lang na magpicture din. Pang dagdag lang sis. Sayang lahat ng efforts mo kapag di napicture-an. Ako nuon namalimos ko sa ibang guests na bigyan ako ng copies ng pic nila nung bday ng anak ko. hehe.... Buti me officemate ako na nagandahan sya sa ayos ni Party Boosters kaya nagpicture di sya.

Thanks mama.apple!

^ sis, ako din can't decide if i should hire a photographer pa. i have my dslr kaso im thinking baka busy na sa party. gusto ko din sana may video coverage. ay ewan. was able to talk with one, 4k daw for vid and photog, ok na diba? but still, naiisip ko may pwede pang gamitin sa 4k. 

so far, booked na yung venue and yung party entertainment and decors settled na. I was also able to buy some cute crowns din and a mirror for the kiddie saloon during the party.

^Dati sis sabi ko din hindi na lang ako maghire ng photog kaso nung nakaattend kami party ng friend ko, sya lang taga picture, hubby naman nya taga entertain ng guests.. baliktad. hehe. I realized I need to get one.. kawawa yung friend ko ikot ng ikot, ako nga nahihilo sa kanya, kelangan may tagakuha talaga. at least wala ka na rin iniintindihing iba, entertain na lang sa mga guests. pero kung meron ka naman sis mapagutusan may slr ka naman, pwede na yun.

[chiqmom]

^oo nga sis no. might just settle with a photographer na din.

[slovy]

^yup sis, meron pa rin naman jan mga affordable.. like jv all events 3k, photostreamer 3k, david lim photography 2500. ako I booked photostreamer p/v service, 4500 lang. not bad!

^wow, nalula ako sa laki ng budget mo sis sa 1st birthday ng baby mo..

[chiqmom]

Was able to find some cute crowns with earrings for just 18 pesos! Cute yung earring since icclip lang sya sa tenga ng bata. I was also able to test the tulle and beads for my little girl's party. Hah the joys of DIYing. hehe Here they are CLICK

[green_2311]

mga sis baka my alam kayun mga nag cater na swak sa budget but ok ang food at service? thanks!

[chiqmom]

ask ko lang din, may suggestion ba kayo for a good ballerina costume?

[k_heart]

^Sis, check mo sa Children's Section ng SM.Maraming tutu-inspired skirt and dress. Or kaya sa Gingersnaps. Although SM,nagke carry talaga ng ballerina costumes. for ballet shoes, meron sa Payless.

[chiqmom]

^thanks sis. tamang tama punta ako jan this october, im from the province kasi.

[k_heart]

^he!he! Ok sis! Basta SM, they've got it all! : )

[chrislovestintin]

Tama Si sis k_heart.  Hehe.  Sa sm (fairview) din ako nakabili ng complete ballet outfit (including the shoes).  Pero di  children's section, sa women's (between sleep wear and sports).

Finally had a good rest last night after our bunso's bday celebration.  She felt a little better.  Konting sipon na Lang.  Happy to know that our guests appreciated my DIY.  Hoping to see a lot of it from the official photos next week.  For now, ewan ko ba, pinapaulit-ulit kong panoorin yung SDE niya.  As if may mababago dun. Hehe
