Whew! after the last blog i posted for the upcoming Sesame Street Party of Jacob, my plan turned 360degrees!! Most of the important details of the party has been changed! Good thing for me, as early as 2010 started, i'm already planning and setting my mind straight..
Here's what I've learned from planning half a year ahead of time:
Here's what I've learned from planning half a year ahead of time:
a. Lots of time to prepare
1. finances - this subject worry me much from the start, though i know we have enough, alloted budget for this, but for me to give Jacob a perfect and grand 1st b-day party - it's one of a heck bunch of moolahs!!
Adv: Good thing about this was, i have ample time to search for the best and affordable supplies, suppliers that would fit into my pocket.
Disadv: Too many inputs, opinions shared by other moms on the forum added another page inmy party checklist! = more moolahs to spend!!

2. theme - though from the start Sesame Street was the only theme on my mind, but with the release of 2010 movies, my gosh-- i thought i gonna cancel all my reservations and considering other themes..
adv: as early as my theme was set, i searched where to buy supplies, favors that wil fit my theme. Scout for suppliers who could provide me with this..
disadv: Too many twist crossed my mind while "googling" ex. Sesame Street Party Live! etc. waaahhh!
Anyways, here's the updated preparation for my son's party
a. Date: originally twas set on his actual natal day, but for some reason that the venue couldn't accomodate us, and the convenience of the date it was moved a day after:
Final: 12 Sept 2010
b. Venue and Caterer: at the 1st blog, i cited that we'll celebrate it at Shanghai garden Resort in Betterliving, but due to some consideration in the weather (Sept) and a possible distraction to the kids attention (by the pool), we changed the plan and decided to have it at Prestige Tower Roofdeck in Ortigasdisadv: Too many twist crossed my mind while "googling" ex.

Ms. Salou of Prestige Tower, is so nice that everything i asked from her for the party, she gave in... I just hope no one will book from 10am-2pm on Sept 12...

The good thing abour Prestige is I saved around 8k-10k of money since we reached 15k of reserved order for the party, the venue is free-of-charge.
