*******

Party Gown and Dress: from SIL of BMDR Fashion House ---Island Cove, Binakayan,Cavite
Ratings: 10


Thanks to my fashion designer SIL who owns the BMDR Fashion House for making 2 lovely dresses! It was so perfect for the celebrant! The guests loves it too! Cutie pie daw ang baby girl ko with the flower petal inspired gown and the yellow and blue mini bubble dress!


******
Dressy Shoes and Accessories: SM Department Store
Ratings: 9

With the super peso power of P200 each, great deal na toh! Although it took us so long before we were able to buy a silver or gold shoes that would match her dresses for the party. Laging out of stock or as in wala pag naghahanap kame, 3 days before her party I asked blogger/N@wie mommies Jane and Peachy kung san meron available silver shoes for Olin, they both said sa Festival Mall daw, so we were heading for Festival Mall when I asked the husband to drop first at SM Bacoor kasi baka dun meron na, thank God! Meron na nga at with Olin’s size pa! swerte talaga.. mura pa! match it with flower turbans and bought 2 pairs of stockings na din.


*****
Venue Set up/ Balloon Décor: made by me with the help of my sis,hubby and cousin
Inclusions: Welcome Balloon Arch, 2 Column pillars with mylar, hotdog balloons, flower pot balloons, chandelier hanging flowers
Rating: 10!!! (love your own!)



This is my favorite kwento among all the party details, kasi it was labored by us! No help from paid party stylist… kasi nga tipid mode! Hahahaha! Everyone loves the décor designs of the venue, that they keep on asking who made this and that… meron pa ngang di makapaniwala na ako lang ang halos gumawa lahat! Hehehe… good thing na-document namin ang aming process during our preparation… and thanks to youtube.com for the free tutorials on how to do this and that… we started making the balloons around 10am and we finished around 1:30 pm… the caterer was also there already at the place at sabay kameng nag-aayos ng place.

The balloons were such a hit with the kids and the adults that right after the party kanya kanyang halbutan sila for take home! The columns were not allowed of course to be brought home kasi samin yung mga stands nun…lol! What’s really nice is that until now andami pa ring nag co-comment regarding the venue décor, kakatuwa talaga! Imagine, first time yun ha…


*******
Balloon Burst: Jasfer Party Shop, Binakayan Cavite
Inclusions: 2 giant balloon burst at P300 each
Ratings: 10



The kids love the balloon bursts! Kasi nga we didn’t want to have an agaw-bitin or pukpok palayok game –for safety purposes, the kids and even the mommies had so much fun grabbing the small balloons from the burst. It has corresponding prices din kasi.


******
Photo Invite/Tarpaulin Lay-out --- by Aggie --- for inquiries you can message me or her
Inclusions: Unlimited revisions --sa galling nya naka 1 revision lang kame
Rating: 10

I contacted Aggie about 3 weeks before the event, at ang bilis naman ng reply nya… we agreed on the designs and theme kaya d naman natagalan ang pag lay out nya. Super girly ang outcome that everyone loved the invites and the tarp itself! Buhay na buhay daw ang face ni Olin at deadma lang ang tshirt outfit nya! Lol…


******
Photo Invite Printing --- Photoline SM Bacoor
Inclusions: 70 pcs of 4x6 matte print at P700 --- 1hour waiting.
Rating: 10


Envelopes/Flower Stickers --- National Bookstore
Inclusions: 7 packs of 10pcs scented envelopes at P20/pack
Flower stickers for seal at P35 good enough for the 70 envelopes



*******
Tarpaulin Printing --- Screaming Colors--- Cavite City
Inclusions: 4x10 Birthday Banner and 2x6 Welcome Tarp at P35/sq.f
Rating: 9



The material used was thick, 1 day lead time, the colors was nice unlike the other printing shops na nagiging dark yung images. Medyo pricey nga lang talaga at P35/sq ft…. was supposed to have it print sa diviland kaso ang layo. Hehehehe


*******
Loot Bags and Prices : Diviland and Toy Kingdom
Rating: 10


Of course 10 ang ratings kasi ako ang pumili ng mga toys…lol! Started buying those toys October pa after I resigned from worked and had the 13th month pay, so ayun fly agad kame sa diviland to have those items complete—reason? Para hindi na sumabay sa gastusin during the bday month! wais!


********
Personalized Supreme Piñatas – from Party Time Philippines
Inclusions: 2 large personalized at P500/each
Ratings: 8


Ordered from them mga 2 weeks before the event together with the food carts, send Olin’s photo for the personalization, after one day they send naman the mock layout for approval. Simple yet maganda.

Side kwento: the attendant ‘accidentally’ brought back the piñatas back to their shop after the party, so I texted PT and asked them how was that, and she said that they will bring back the piñatas. So there, last Wednesday afternoon they were able to bring back the items and the refund for the food carts.

In fairness, a lot of guests love the piñatas, having Olin’s in it.


*******
Photo and Video Coverage --- Dreamline, Binakayan Cavite
Inclusion: Unlimited Photo Coverage / Edited Party Video
Ratings: 9 for the photos --- ??? waiting for the video

The photog and the videographer arrived at the venue an hour before the party started, gave them instructions and they were able to capture great images of the event…although, hindi nakunan ang kids buffet. But it’s ok, nasa video naman.


*******
Clowns: from Jasfer Party Shop and Catering Services
Inclusions: 2 clowns – Hosting/Magic Tricks/Balloon Twisting/Party Games
Ratings: 10


All in one ang clowns that we got! We didn’t opt for getting a magician or a separate host for the party since they can do all of that naman. Super happy ang mga kids, and they mingle with the early kids sa party para they can get to know each other pa sila! They dance while waiting for the other guests too, basta no dull moments with them. Hindi sila yung tipong bastos clowns at baralbal mag salita… taglish pa nga sila! Both were very entertaining and even the adults love them! They made sure na interactive ang games nila that even the adults were convinced to play! Hehehehe

*****there! My supplier ratings are done! Ang sarap lang isip isipin how successful the party was! And the comments we got from friends who were able to attend…
