Re: Planning A Kiddie Party On Your Own III

[marose17]

^ Nakita ko picture ng stage and balloons sa IG ni Apple.  Nice!

True, ang sarap ng feeling pag nag-enjoy ang mga kids.  Mababaw lang kaligayahan nila, tayo lang parents ang nagpapa-complicate.

[stormy]

^true marose ilang beses nag thank you anak ko sa amin ng dad nya. Kaya let go na lang ang pinambayad sa glitches na nag-cost rin ng few thousands.

May picture na pala si apple ako wala pa d ko na naisip sa dami ng inasikaso. Isa pix lang nakuhanan ko.

Ano na ba nangyayari sa mga suppliers ngayon? Ang tatapang. O moody? (Kasi may kilala ako na nasungitan sa isang supplier ko pero pag ako naman nagtatanong mabait naman). Kapag sikat or nagamit na ng sikat ibang level na ang attitude.

a little off topic but i just need to post this. hehe

may nakita akong supplier ng cupcakes sa fb. may post na "no phony clients, inquirers and the likes" and threatens to post pics pa.

ok, i understand those fake buyers who reserve items but dont pay. but fake inquirers? ano kaya yun? if i inquire and decide not to place an order, phony na ako?  eh di ba the reason you ask is to find out if fit sya sa requirements mo. i just dont get it. 


eta: congrats stormy and marose17!  (sorry, i didnt read the newer posts. )

[forumera]

sis stormy, congrats sis, ang importante yung happiness ng babies natin db, sana makagawa ka ng supplier's ratings

sis i understand you! meron akong in-add sa fb na nagbebenta ng wood toys and dresses for kids. I inquired about a particular wood toy and she answered naman, muntik ko ng bilhin but found out that ang laki ng mura ng toy sa rustan's kesa sa kanya kaya di ko na binili. then after that she posted cute dresses and I inquired of the price of the 3 or 4 dresses yata that I like, aba no reply at all! basta never na sya sumagot sa inquiries ko! eh nakikita ko panay post nya at sumasagot sa iba. sabi ko bat sya ganun? porke di binili yung una akala nya di na ako bibili? dapat pag seller ka, patient ka on answering queries di ba?

[stormy]

@twelve5, thanks sis hay last week nasabihan ako ng rude just because gusto ko sana malaman ang electrical load before ko ibook yun booth. Imagine that. D pwede malaman yun info hanggat d ko pa naibook. Touch move tawag dyan nun bata kami kapag naglalaro sobra sa nega attitude ibang negosyante ngayon.

May iba na ayaw ng inconvenience. Kaya ang hirap rin ng planning/booking on our own kasi marami tayo mai-encounter mga mommies na pag maramdaman d naman tayo unli funds e naku mag-iiba ihip ng hangin

^^thank you sis nakaka lang magbigay ng supplier rating (sobrang direcho ko yata kasi nabubwisit sa akin ibang mommies lalo na pag type nila yun supplier yet use rin nila info/experience haha to remind na wag ma-late sa party nila, na ganito ganyan). Basta sa pakiramdam ko e waging-wagi kahit ako lang nagplano kasi tilian ng tilian mga kids. Sa bday kwento thread na ako magpost para d OT

[funky f]

Put tge link to your kwento here, pls sis, i wanna read
Saya talaga pag naappreciate effort mo no, lalo na ng kid mo

[Chakadoll22]

congrats sa mga sissies na tapos na ang party. ako kc october pa and since i just gave birth and abroad si hubby, i need to start early. masayang mag-plan pero nakakakaba din 

sissies, alam nyo ba kung san pwede pagawa nung oversized letters na ginagamit ni luxe parties? i can't afford kc their package so ako na lang magdecorate 

[gian18]

Sis you can check out Handicrafts atbp sa fb.. I don't know lang yung price.. But keep in my mind na sayo na yung mga letters na un, so storage space naman ang hehe..

[Chakadoll22]

^thank you sis gian, i inquired na. eto reply nya:

Letter standee
Plain color
2ft 450 each addtl P50 per 6in
Wd design
2ft 550 each addtl P100 per 6in

pero yung nakita ko sa album nya parang di ko gusto yung font kc mapayat. yung kay luxe parties kc mas okay dimension. and problema nga yung storage after the party. sana may for rent lang, hehe

[gian18]

Oo nga sis, medyo manipis yung letters nya. Pero baka pwedeng ibang font  . Yung sa luxe parties kasi parang may texture din yung front eh.  Not sure if fabric sya or handpainted.

[twelve5]

virgogirl98 and stormy, i feel bad for you. 

sana kasi suppliers would post all needed info or an FAQ section para readily available yung info for the consumer to make an informed decision... panay "pm me for inquiries" sila tapos wala naman pala silang patience. 

they dont like our money? fine! we'll just bring our business elsewhere. 



Chakadoll22, you can probably hang those letters on the wall of your kid's bedroom. maski nga sa ceiling baka pwede... or even sa garage (if covered) or garden... yan kasi naisip ko dating gawin nung plano kong magpagawa pero fully booked na sila nun kaya di natuloy.

[mwaah]

you may want to consider yung create your own cupcake booth. my tita had it once and everyone enjoyed

[guerzman]

Nakahinga na din ng maluwag kasi almost all suppliers ko fully paid na and my PP gave me our contract na din

caterer & PP fp na lang ang kulang

[-charm-]

Mga sis, how did you handle the guests kung walang party coordinator? I mean, paano sila naasikaso kung saan uupo? Kasi diba sa weddings, may registration table pero coordinator ang nag aasikaso. Sa bday parties nyo ba may seating arrangement din? TIA?

[mistiqshannen]

sis, i assign my sister to to the guest registration. Tapos yun guests naman na hahanap sa upuan nila.
Ako magseseating arrangement ako next week kasi nasa 90 adults ako. Tapos yun kids ko halos 37 dun
kinda pwede na umupo sa kiddie table kaya gagawin ko magproprovide ako ng water
yun naka plastic seal na bonus, dikit ng paper straw dun and me flag sa straw where their names will be
printed. at the same time upon registration my sister will inform the guests na kids 2 years and up
must seat dun kasi dun sila.. wala kasi ako masyado madami spare for seats sa kids
on adult tables.. ganun idn ginawa namin sa shakeys nun ahaha
maayos naman mga guests ko.. sumunod naman sila sa kung saan table sila dapat nakaupo.

[ceejhei]

mga sis na nagpa cater nagpa iba pa ba kayo  ng food sa mga kids? kasi na-notice ko lang, kapag iba food nila, they end not eating the food, nasasayang lang talaga.
what i plan is isama na sila sa head count ng catering para ibigay na din yung food the same as adults. or puwede din order pa ako ng pasta and chicken sa caterer tapos yun nalang for them.

[carxs]

^normally sis spaghetti and fried chicken ang kadalasang favorite ng mga kids, after that wala na.. kasi based from my experience nung birthday ni baby mas madalas ang kids sa candy buffet nun at sa mga games. Then after they eat na they will play outside the house for the games. Kaya this year ang plan ko mas  maraming games na lang for the kids kaysa sa food kasi last year 5 viands ang food ko yun mga ibang ulam napanis the next day kasi madaming natira.

[ceejhei]

hi sis carxs thank you so much. sige ganyan nalang siguro gagawin ko, ill order an extra tray for the pasta ang chicken for the kids plus ice cream nalang.
tapos dadagdag ako sa candy buffet.

thank you!

[pinkpotato]

I remember a friend who ordered separate foods for the kids during her son's party, meron kasi dito sikat na food stall selling a 'copy cat' jollibee food, infairness naman sa lasa, gayang gaya talaga. that is before jollibee food corp opened their branch here.

ending, dinumog ng mga matatanda. LOL. the kids ate kahit ano lang na nasa buffet.

i think it is ideal for kids to have their own food kung you serve it 'on a plate' na sa tables nila. so prepared plates with food na talaga for the kids and bahala na adults kuha ng food nila from the buffet.
