And by the way, is Shakey's "A" ok? Pls. kindly suggest how can I make this day special for our only son without feeling so much hurt on our pockets.

Just want to share...for those who plan to show AVPs or videos for their kid's party and need to rent an LCD projector, I recommend Mediamonsters. Very accommodating staff even if we booked on a very short notice. :) Okay rin ang operators nila, hassle-free kahit hindi ako tech savvy.

Their contact numbers are 0917-542-1717 and 515-90-17. You can also visit their site at www.mediamonsters.multiply.com.

Goodluck sa parties!

hi, my little boy is turning 1 this dec. i thought of doing a christmas themed party pero baka ma-confuse naman sya on what's his bday and what's christmas...any suggestions? thanks

hi! :)

we are looking for a possible venue for my daughter's first birthday on december..
somewhere in qc area, with affordable rate of course, since we are working on a budget. :) plan to have it in a clubhouse or function hall where we could just bring in our own caterer and all those kiddie stuff.

hope you can recommend.

thanks for your help! :)

Hi! I'm planning my daughter's first bday party. Was hoping to to find referrals for styro backdrop supplier. Of course one that's inexpensive, at least reasonable. Also a host/ magician :) thanks in advance!

Hi,This is such a good source of info! beats the yellowpages, 100times! hey, have you heard of the Party Wizard group who also provides kids birthday party services? any feedback or comments on their food or service?

thanks!

hi moms! my daughter will celebrate her 7th birthday on november 29. can anyone suggest a possible venue for a pool party in Parañaque area. thanks!

my daughter's first bday is coming and i don't know how to start. I want it to be very special. my first problem is the venue. i live in q.c. now but my relatives is in makati. i asked my husband if we can meet halfway. i need as well events planner who is budget friendly since i cannot prepare the party myself. it would be best if they are accredited with clubhouses since i heard that rental fee is much cheaper....HELP!

hi ms rain! the food was ok naman although it's not suuuuper sarap pero pwd na. i got the package with baked mac, pork bbq, chicken fingers, beef pot roast and dessert w bottomless iced tea. they have a better offer pa now kase you can create your own set meal. before kase fixed na. no need for buffer they bring extra food tlga. super daming natira during my daughter's bday=)

hi ms. she leong-valerio :0 may i ask if the food from party time were a-ok kasi i am planning to get them too. aside from the free decor super bait kasi si mel since she really answers queries promptly and she understand pa mommies na limited ang budget. kaso i need to know if ok ang taste ng food and if generous ang serving portion para there will be no need for me to add pa no. of pax para buffer since usually caterers have buffer naman.

salamat

hi mommies! for my daughter's 1st bday party, we got the services of party time philippines. They provided the catering services which comes with free balloon decors for the whole venue (centerpiece included). For the host, we hired Sugus and we were very pleased with his hosting style. He doesn't do the usual games like bring me, etc. He does super fun games like name that tune (disney edition) that involved all the guests. In effect everybody-even the adults participate.

hi! my son is celebrating his 1st birthday in december and i've been thinking of having a sports ball theme. guests could wear sports jerseys and get a prize for it. i want it to be in a village park sana but i'm afraid it'd rain. so another option is to have it at shakey's {my hubby and i love shakey's!} or rent a clubhouse. i know i'd save on venue cost if ill have it at shakey's, not to mention that the food will be served hot and there's a staff to take care of it. but having it at another venue would let me get other food suppliers. i want to have different stalls sana, parang ballgame stalls - sabrett hotdogs, taters nachos & popcorn, peanuts, even beer {for the daddies!}. i've thought about all the other details too! i'll make my own invite - ballgame ticket with all the party details. i'll make make my own loot bags - brown sandwich bag with my son's name. contents would be party favors with sports balls design which i'm planning to order from the u.s. i checked out the prizes and they're affordable. my cousin will be coming home in a couple of months kasi and she could bring them with her. we have a friend who hosts children's parties and he offered his services for free, birthday gift na nya. all the others like balloons and cakes madali lang naman.

baka the moms who have planned their children's parties na could give me suggestions...

for the loot bag - does anybody know a stamp pad maker who could do balls - basketball, soccer ball, baseball & football? parang all the ones i see make names lang. pag wala talaga, malamang i'll print them out na lang.

for the party favors - do we have a local supplier who carries sports balls design kaya? i'm looking at another alternative to save on cost.

for the party decors - is there a balloon supplier who could provide me with sports balls design, yung sports ball ang design sa front and silver lang sa back?

for the souvenir - is there a supplier who would do printing of my son's picture on stress balls? i might able to get a sports design stress balls kasi and i want a picture of my son's face printed on them to make it more personal.

hope to hear your suggestions. thanks in advance!

We had a simple party to celebrate our twins' 1st birthday last Saturday, and we spent only P30K for 150 guests (115 adults and 35 kids). I had to DIY a lot of stuff by using art materials I have at home. Breakdown as follows:

Venue: Shakey's Galleria - P23,000
Clowns: Tonio's Clowns of Dad's Megamall - P3,000
2pcs 7" round Cakes and 80pcs Cupcakes w/ icing: Shoppersville Bakeshoppe - P1,560

The rest went to the DIY stuffs which include the invitations, lootbags, piñata, balloon burst & decors, candies and game prizes. Details and some pictures here - http://keithandjovie.blogspot.com

If you have the time to do DIY, I encourage you to do it kase it helps you save a lot! :)

Thanks for the help sis! Visited your blog and actually included your site in my booked marked pages hehehe... Be waiting for your ratings regarding the clowns, venue and other suppliers.
Good luck on the birthday! I'm sure it'll turn out fun!

Hi! :) We have the same requirements - from the guestlist to the preferred location, only our party is this weekend na. You may want to check my blog for the birthday preps I've made so far. I have also written about party venues and cake suppliers that I've canvassed. The rest, I will DIY. Hope this helps! :)

Hi all!
Glad to chance upon this site! I do need any help i can get regarding planning kiddie parties. :)

My baby is turning 1 this December and since his my first child, I'm really clueless regarding party planning. :( But due to our very tight budget i can't spare some for a party planner, so i have to do it myself.

My son's invites will surely be DIY. As for the souvenirs i want something useful, cute and affordable (I'd probably scout stuff from 168) I don't have a specific theme in mind yet but I'm considering barney =) And for the party I'm planning to rent a place and hire a caterer and a host/magician/puppeteer.

Is there anyone who knows a venue somewhere near Cainta, Pasig or Ortigas that is affordable enough? And a caterer & host as well? My guest list would approximately include about 100 adults and 30 kids.

Hope i could get some inputs :) Thanks in advance. :)

@goldire -

hi when is the birthday party? i might be able to convince my brother

Hi Mommy kuks, Yup P20K is possible in mcdo or jollibee with around 80guests. That's with party amenities na po. I've been doing research din kse coz my sons are having their birthday next month. You can also choose Shakey's but with a smaller guestlist around 60guests, probably. If you choose to get food lang, and ikaw na bahala sa party amenities. You can do some DIY stuff (invites, lootbags, decors) if you have the time. You can also go to Divisoria to buy real cheap party stuff and it will help cut the cost :) HTH! :) http://keithandjovie.blogspot.com

Hi Mitzi and Mommy kuks,

We ourselves have a limited budget on my son's first birthday. We told ourselves not to splurge big time since he is too young anyway for a fancy party which he may not appreciate especially that he is afraid of clowns. So we made it a point to observe what attracts him most. We ended-up celebrating in Jollibee. Jollibee mascot is a big hit to small children - well my son is one of them. With the small budget - everyone went home with a big smile.

Hi Moms,
It's my son's first birthday on July 16. Until now, I haven't had any idea on what kind of kiddie party I'm gonna throw. Any suggestion? I'm a first time mom and I want to make it as memomarable for my son as it can be. I am working on a limited budget, around 20K. is that enough?

It's nice to have found this site. I was browsing the net for ideas on my Son's 1st birthday party in January. Can someone give me contact infos for party hosts, party suppliers etc located in Cavite? Many thanks

hi,

my daughter will turn 3 this june and i plan to hold the party in her school with about 10 kids as guest. Id like to focus the party for the children since its is "childrens party' so i plan to do artworks for the kids to participate and a puppet show. Also a cupcake that they will decorate themselves. So i have it all planned but the problem is how do i tell the parents that i dont like them in the party. The venue is spacious enough for thr kids to run around, but with the parents. It would total to around 30 -40 guest in the room. Im thinking of setting up snacks for the perents and guardians in pizza hut downstairs. I think they wont mind. Its a few hours without the hassle of feeding and looking over their kids. I can also set up a video wall, so that they can still watch th party upstairs. But how do I tell them in a manner that they will not be offended? Help mga mommy?

hello mommies! so nice to know that there's a place like this na nagtutulungan mga moms! 'm a mother of 2 kids, my eldest is turning 10 on may 7, a girl, my youngest will be celebrating his 1st on june. my daughter wants to have a party with her friends, but 'm on a tight budget b'coz enrolment will be soon and also wants to have a celebration for my son's 1st birthday. but my husband can't help me enough to decide b'coz he's working abroad. my daughter wants a simple celebration lang naman..basta daw makasama nya lang mga friends nya. but for my son, parang di naman fair sa kanya kung d ko sya bibigayn ng party, kase his ate had a medyo bonggang party when she turned 1. so i've been thinking of havin it in jollibee or mcdo or max's..or should i have it at home? pls, help me! any suggestions? we lived in caloocan, north..for any suggested venues...and my budget is 15k-20k.

Thanks in advance! more power to us SUPERMOMS!

Hi mommies! my son's turning 7 on july? i wanted sana a venue na meron rides or play area so kids can still play and have fun after the party. Yung tipong storyland, pixie forest or tom's world. i could have picked from one these venues but it's kinda far from our place. we happen to live in pasay and i want to invite my son's classmates so im looking for a venue around pasay area. I found out StarCity also offers birthday packages. has any one attended a b-day party at Starcity? ok kaya dun? any venue suggestion around pasay? pls. help

Hi mymelody! I was thinking along the same lines as you were. Its almost my sons 3rd party and I just want a simple party but with a good party host/entertainment.

Ive asked around and the chepest is 6k for hosting, magic, and ventriloquism (with some hosts)

I found this on the net though and it sounds promising: www.kuyamau.net

Now, Ive never seen an actual show but its sounds like a real deal for P6000 bec he includes a 30min puppet show aside from hosting, magic, ventriloquism, fress sound system. So i guess its like you get free puppet show which would normally cost another P3500. Yun nga lang, I guess your puppet show will not be themed.

Hope this helps! Also, if you find any better options pls let me now bec im also scouting for a good, affordable host. THANKS!

hi, mommies.

i am a first-time mom to a soon-to-be 1-year old child next month. my husband and i want to have just a simple fun party for him. we can organize the party ourselves but we want to hire a clown to emcee the party. would you suggest anyone who is good, preferably english-speaking, who is easy to work with, and who can work on a budget? thank you.
