Where: Hardin De San Antonio, Tanza Cavite
Time: 5pm
Theme: Flowers and Balloons
To start, this may be an uber long post since andami kong stories to tell… so please bear with me...
We started planning Olin’s 1st birthday siguro mga August na, I know super late pero since wala naman kameng planong magkaron ng super bonggang party we thought na ok naman ang late preparation, since holidays is also approaching, thus making most of the people so busy with other things din naman.
With the venue naman, it was my SIL who takes care of it, from the reservation to the confirmation.
Had a flower and balloon theme kasi ever since I was pregnant with Olin, type na type ko ang flower theme and the balloon art decors. So there, kaya nag-come up kame with a flower and balloons theme.

Actually, it was sponsored by my SIL J kaya we never got a problem regarding the venue, we were supposed to held the party at my parent’s subdivision clubhouse but then again we had second thoughts kasi sa dami ng people that we know, siyempre, we couldn’t invite all of them! At pag nagkataon the party would definitely look like a barangay fiestahan! Lol.
Never had a problem with the venue, we were able to do everything sa place—gate was opened at 9am and we started decorating around 10am.
The place was big enough to accommodate all our guests, clean rest rooms, maaliwas ang place, mahangin and super pretty ang whole place. Sir Andrew Pacumio was uber nice din, he make sure na ok kame before the party.

Inclusion for the Adult food -- 7 main courses (Chicken Pastel, Pork Asado, Beef with Mushroom, Fish Fillet w/2 dips, Pork Bb-q, Chicken with green peas, Garden Fresh Salad), unlimited soda drinks, rice, Ice Cream. -- adult and kids table/chairs with complete theme skirting, buffet set-up, gift table, cake table, prize table and kids buffet station.
We were quite impressed with the service and presentation of Jasfer Catering services, it was our first time to have them as our caterer, and we were not disappointed at all. The waiters are all so bait and courteous—tapos what made us really liked them was up to the end guests they are all so masipag and still give their service at their best.
No problem encountered with them naman, andaming binigay saming food during our food tasting, replies immediately sa inquiries at naka monitor talaga yung head nila the whole time. The guest are even asking about the caterer kasi masasarap daw ang foods! --but of course there are still foods that were prepared by my mom, kaya mas masarap… J hindi kinulang yung food at meron pa rin kameng naiuwi kahit uber dami ng guests na dumating.
Ice cream was delicious! Hit na hit sa kids and even adults.

Because I know from the start na maraming kids ang invited we decided to have a separate buffet area for the kids with foods that they will surely love like spag and chicken. 3 viands lang niready ko for them kasi we still have food carts and desserts available.

Siguro panata na ni mama yung idea na ganun, mag prepare pa ng sobrang extra food for every occasion that we hosted. She just want to make sure that there is more than enough food for everyone. At siempre hit na hit with the guests ang mga home cooked meals nya! J

Food Carts --- Cotton Candy & Waffle dogs ---from Party Time Philippines
Ratings : 6
With the cotton candy we got no negative feedback, all the kids love the sweet treat. Even the cotton candy man came as early as 1pm to the venue! But with the waffle dogs ---ah, it took them 48 years to be able to come up with a not-sunog waffle dog for the kids. I think kinulang ang butter sa mixture or something, kaya sunog ng sunog ang mga nagawa nila L my cousins were the ones who told me na di pa nakakapaglabas ng waffledogs yung in charge sa booth.so I approached them, aayusin daw nila agad.
One more thing --- yung food carts nila, I was so disappointed kasi di nila dala yung top part (bubong) ng carts! When I asked the man in charge, ginagawa daw kasi. I do not have time to argue or anything kasi para ano pa? so I said sige go na lang.
After 2 days, when di na ako busy, I texted Party time about it, plus the fact that Olin’s two piñatas were ‘accidentally’ brought back to their shop by the crew… the in charge replied naman agad regarding the issue and told me na they will give back P1k for the carts and the piñatas. I’m still waiting when they will be able to do that, kasi she told me that they will have it send nung Monday then Tuesday…pero it’s Wednesday na… we’ll see… mag-uupdate pa naman ako eh. At gagawin kong ibang font color itong part na ito.

Themed Cake: Conching Sabale ---Binakayan, Toclong Kawit/Imus Cavite Inclusion of 2 layer edible cake --- 18 and 9 inches. With gumpaste topper and lollies
Rating: 10
Sure the husband and I were so surprised to see the outcome of the cake, since it was also our first time to order from Conchings..although I heard so much good feebacks about them even from N@W and GT forums. Pero since I have a design that wanted them to copy I gave them two photos in different angle para makuha nila talaga. Nung una the secretary told me na styro lang ang magagamit nila for the toppers and lollies pero nung we came back for the full payment she said na they can do a gumpaste design with additional cost nga lang, so we just paid the P300 additional para gumanda ang cake.lo and behold! Nakuha nila as in nakuha ang cake design na pinakita ko… thanks sis JOY! J
The guests was awed on how beautiful the cake was, there are even some who took pictures of it!
At di lang yun, ang sarap ng chocolate and marble cakes ng Conching’s! the following day, ubos ang two layered cake! And with all this, would you believe na less than P3k lang ang cake ni Olin including na ang delivery charge! Sulit dib a?

Personalized Cuppies: baked and courtesy of our friend and Olin's ninang Paula Inclusion of 30 pcs chocolate cupcakes with Olin’s pic for the topper
Ratings: 10
Wow! That was the first word that comes from the husband’s mouth when he saw early birthday morning. Paula brought the cuppies around 6am before she heads for work. Super ganda at super sarap! A total hit with the kids, wala na kameng naabutan after the candle blowing. Good thing I was able to reserve 1pc dito sa house.
**** to follow is the supplier rating for the props and other paraphernalia used for the party...
