Typhoon hits the BIG day!
« on: June 01, 2013, 12:49:38 am »
Mga sis na sakto tag ulan ang birthday ng babies, pa-share naman ng plan B. pwede ba magpa-cancel sa church if ever binyag ang occassion? And sa catering din pwede kaya ipa-move ang date? Super kabado ako dito kasi i remember tag-ulan when i gave birth to my daughter. Sayang naman ang pinaghirapan kung walang makakadalo dahil may bagyo or bumaha etc.

Depende yan sis sa kontrata nyo ng mga suppliers mo. Parehas tayo na tag-ulan ang bday ng anak kaya isa yang bagyo sa consideration ko nun nagpaplano pa lang.

Sayang talaga ang pera kasi may alam ako na party na wala talagang naka-attend kundi yun kasabay nun family sa sasakyan.

Sa suppliers like catering and venue, pwede mo tanungin ano patakaran nila pag may bagyo. Sa ngayon naman kasi nakikita na monthly/ weekly weather forecast na accurate naman kaya kahit paano maalerto mo sila. Sa catering syempre may cost na agad yun kung may nabili na sila bago ka nagcancel (kaya kalimitan may stipulations dyan ilang percent ang kunin nila etc). Tapos posible rin naman na ipostpone lang ang party d naman nacancel na talaga.

So yun open date ng suppliers itugma mo na lang sa magiging panibagong preferred date mo.

Unfortunately, d naman ganun ka-strong ang consumer rights sa atin. Kaya pahirapan siguro sa pagkausap sa ibang suppliers.

Ako sis, 7th bday ng anak ko this month. Dami ko gustong gawin dahil marami na rin requests daughter ko. Pero what if bumagyo, bumaha? Sayang pera, ilang buwan pinag-hirapan tapos ginastusan yun pala hindi makakapunta ang mga bisita, alangan unahin pa nila umattend ng party kaysa safety nila.

Kaso paano pag d naman bumagyo bumaha? Kaya naging solusyon ko may party pa rin sya simple lang, tipong d ikakawasak ng puso ko kahit bagyuhin kami :) Tamang maicelebrate na may party.

Thanks sis. Tama mukhang ikakawasak ng puso ko pag wala maka-attend since first birthday ng baby ko. Sana talaga di umulan! Anyway sis, thank you. Nakakuha ako ng idea. Magccheck nalang ako lagi ng weather forecast and isasama ko sa contract siguro na pwede ipa-move ang date basta 3days notice.

sistah!

not exactly a birthday party, but my close friend's wedding was postponed last minute because of milenyo. outdoor pa man din kasi ang plan nila.

they were lucky. one of their ninongs owns a nice place for weddings so they were able to move the venue a week later. walang problema sa clothes, makeup artist, hairstylist. caterer yata, matinding pakiusapan para ma-move pero pumayag naman, may konting penalty lang. ganun din with the florist. goodbye na lang yung binayad nila sa venue na original pero ok na rin. entertainment, pastor, pati yung rent a car swerte kasi available on the day na new schedule nila. kaming friends and family nila ang nangarag to call one by one all the guests to inform them that the wedding was postponed and that we will call for the new schedule.

I think because of previous instances like milenyo, ondoy, habagat, sending, etc. na talagang wala na mangyayaring party pag nagkabagyo ng matindi, it's important to understand the clause of your contract to cover these things. mahirap na rin maipit. I would suggest not going for those promo promo sa mga deal sites at baka mahirap mag-reschedule pag sila na ang kausap mo sa ganyan. best to go with reputable suppliers who are highly recommended by others.

^^1st bday pala, sana talaga nga sis huwag bumagyo na  matapat sa parties natin.

Pakiramdam ko tama naging desisyon ko na ilaan yun budget na para sana sa big party na baka bagyuhin lang sa travel. Very happy anak ko sa 2 weeks na bakasyon namin. Naging interesado pa sya na mag-aral ng french language. Nagtatanong rin sya tungkol sa mga nakikita nya na lugar at practices ng iba't-ibang lahi kaya sana naging educational na rin.

I know most suppliers would have a clause in their contract on force majure or acts of god/nature, so yes, you need to explicitly state in the contract of moving events in case of a typhoon.

Ito din kinatatakot ko kase nung nAnganak ako last year ulanan din, ok na lahat ng preparation aside dun sa mga konting issue pa.  Kaya indoor pinili ko na venue Kahit umulan ok lang pero wag naman babaha.   Ngayun pa lang nagpepray na kami na sana maganda panahon at of course Hindi mawalan ng koryente.

^Same tayo gorgousegem. September ang birthday so talagang bagyo season. First choice sana ang swimming party but because of that time of the year, we prioritized for an indoor setting. Sana lang talaga God hindi po bumagyo, lalo't maraming mga out of town guests.

Hi, i can relate with this topic. August kasi birthday ng baby ko, last year when she turned 1 year old, grabe ang bagyo, talagang umatend. Morning that day, ambon lang, so keri namin un birthday niya na held sa jolibee, pero nun 4pm na, un mismo time ng party niya, super lakas na ng ulan, pati loob ng jollibee naulan.. Lol.. Kaya inilipat pa ng ibang party room un set up.. 4:30 na wala pa bisita.. Kami pa lang ng husband ko with our baby, pati kasi parents ko at in laws na stranded sa traffic at baha.. By 5pm humina na ang ulan, unti-unti dumating din bisita. And jollibee adjust our time from 5pm to 7pm.. Naidaos din naman ng masaya ang party. Kaya ngayon we will celebrate na lang dito sa bahay..

Not a typhoon, but the habagat.
My son had his birthday party yesterday. When it started raining early, my Mom and I were worried that there would be cancellations. We were praying for the rain to stop. There were glitches early on with the tables and chairs arriving 1 hour late, food delivery service calling 1 hour before pick up that they would not be able to have everything ready on time despite my placing the order 5 hours prior to pick up time (kulang daw supply nila, hindi nila na-anticipate), etc. Despite the glitches, though, everything went well naman. There were only about 7 guests who didn't arrive from our original 60 guest list. The party started late since most of the guests arrived late, but it was ok since it gave us more time to prepare. Some people came pa from Antipolo, Valenzuela and Paranaque (venue was in Ortigas San Juan). Everybody had such a good time (my little boy was so happy) so we didn't really notice the rain.

Tag-ulan din ang birthday ng anak ko, sept., so nung first birthday niya, stressed din ako noon, kasi nga yan din iniisip ko,
kaya sa Shakey's ako nagpaparty, kasi sa mga ganyan, pwedeng i-cancel ng mga days before, at ipa move kung may bagyo, yan din
unang una kong tinanong kung ano ang patakaran nila, and maigi naman na hindi sila mahigpit sa cancellation basta, days ahead.

Kasi siyempre sila, may store na pwedeng gamitin yung nabili nilang sangkap for the menu, unlike sa mga catering na
talagang party mo lang ang pwedeng paggamitan, so malulugi sila kung ika cancel mo.


Tuwing 1st at 7th birthday lang naman kami may party, so sa 7th birthday na ako ulit ma iistress LOL.

May pinsan kasi ako dati, bongga party sa bahay, walang naka attend kundi yung mga walking distance lang sa bahay nila, sayang.

Then yung mga stories sa Rated K dati, na during ondoy, may wedding, tinuloy pa din nila kahit walang nakapunta. Diba nga may kuha pa
na wedding picture sa baha yung couple during habagat naman, kesa malungkot sila, ginamit nila yung baha bilang background hahaha.

Meron naman, dahil walang nakapuntang guests, pinamigay na lang sa bahay bahay yung handa, inisip na lang, blessing in disguise.

Hindi natin hawak ang weather, pero nakukuha sa prayers, at kung talagang bumagyo, isipin na lang, charged to experience. Hehe.

sana wala ng bagyo next week when my baby celebrates her 1st birthday... to ensure lang na matutuloy, i chose a venue na hindi gaanong binabaha enroute para maging accessible sa mga guests. i haven't checked pa with the suppliers their provision in case of force majeure.
