Party Program

I love party planning.. and it usually took most of my time preparing for events - for my son, my family and friends.. And one thing that is really important is the flow of the party. This is a make or break regarding how successful you party would become.
Last Jacob's party, I was very keen with the party host regarding this.. But, on the event itself, I just let them to their thing.. It's not my business anymore..:)

It's a first birthday party so I asked for some alterations with the program they presented to me.

I always take note of the time the program starts. So with the invitation, instead of putting
"4 o'clock sharp", I  opted for " The program starts at 4pm". So that, the guests knew that there will be a pre-party activity for the kids aside from the program proper. If they want to be part of it, they'll arrive earlier. End result, most of my guests came before 4pm - success indeed!


For the program, we followed this. (1st Birthday Party Program)


3:00  to  3:30 p.m.   Welcoming of the Guests
Other activities:
Balloon Twisting/Coloring Contest /Story telling
 Table Magic/  Practice of action songs   


3:30 to 4:30 pm   PARLOR GAMES for kids & ADULTS 
Bubbly host from Lambert Flores' team. Sure knows how to entertain the guests!

END of the PARTY

Take note of the Cake Blowing - in a usual party program, it's usually on the end/last part of the program, but i asked them to move it a bit earlier, my baby might be asleep during those times (though that didn't happened :) - Jacob really enjoyed his party).

Jacob Cedric's Uber fun Party! (1st Part)

We just had Jacob's Uber Fun Party! And still, I'm still lovin' the feeling and fun family, relatives and friends shared with us (Jojo-Jacob-Grace).
Here's the details of our super memorable event!


Sept 12,2010 
9 o'clock in the afternoon

From Day One, I'd like to have Sushi as part of Jacob's Food menu since we (Jojo and I) love eating those. Fortunately, my Sister-In-Law told us that there's a small sushi store selling beside SM Hypermaket in Makati (formerly Liana's) by Bilao. We checked it out (1 week before the party). By 9 AM, we dropped by at Cash and Carry in Makati to buy extra paper plates and chopsticks for sushi. Then placed order, 2 bilao for P1200 (P600/124 pcs). Not bad at all! 
Store: Gryn Wasabi (Makati)


12:00-1:00 o'clock in the afternoon

We helped prepared my Mother-in-Law and the helper with the Partypacks for Jacob's Party (Kids and Crew's Meal). Prepared 75 styropacks. Meal include Spaghetti, Fried Chicken, Pulvoron and Tetrapack Juice.
To personalized the meal, I made a Partypack sticker for the styro. 

1:00-2:00 o'clock in the afternoon!

And now, we were in a RUSH! Rush going back to Makati to pick up the sushis then made our way to Prestige Tower for the additional decorations from my cousin (from US), giveaways, party prizes, for candy candy station, all to meet the suppliers in person! More stress, party starts at 4PM!

After Prestige Tower, we immediately  drove back to Taguig to prepare and get dressed for the party!
And we are on time :)

When we arrived at the venue, i super love the decors! Thanks to Kiko's Balloon's and Services especially to Ms. Kristine, for super accommodating from Day One!

Entrance Decoration: I asked them to upgrade the pillar to Elmo and Big Bird Shaped Pillar and guess what? They executed it just the way I wanted it!



Stage Decoration: Super Love the backdrops and the balloon decor on the floor! 

 

Venue Ceiling Decoration: Balloon Drops
I personally asked Ms. Kristine that I wanted Balloon Drops as Main Decor for the ceiling.. And poof! Love the outcome! Super festive-looking knowing that Prestige Tower Roofdeck has low ceiling!

Additional Ceiling Decors are from my Cousin from States, Ate San - Thank You so much! The decor complemented the whole decoration itself. Perfect fit - as if she knew what to buy!

My cousins made fun of the decors after the party!
 

Balloon Burst: 50 mini balloons inside with 20 of those has "You've Got a Prize" Tag


Table Decorations: DIY with Balloons

As per previous blog on Party DIY I prepared for these, they just added balloons to this to make it more exciting!

Additional table decoration from my Ate San in US (Super Festive!)


Verdict: 10/10
Super perfect! Why? I may be biased but here's the reasons:
  • I inquired with them about 7 months ago. Other suppliers thought I am just getting ideas with them but Ms. Kristine was so accommodating and prompt in replying to my email queries. 
  • They executed the designs I wanted for the venue
  • They arrived super early at the venue

By the time we arrived at the venue (Jojo and I), Jacob was already there - we asked MIL to bring Jacob to the venue (she was with Hannah and Ate Francia). Lots of guests were already there, in short, we were on the brink of being late!

I saw lots of people! friends, relatives enjoying the venue and party! The host was already starting with the party - well, just coloring activity while waiting for the other guests. 
I met the host, wife of Mr. Lambert Flores, the one we hired to perform for the party. They handed me the program and told them some alterations - I wanted the cake Blowing on Mid-part of the party before eating time. 

Coloring activity for the kids: I also prepared some sheets for coloring activity. It's a DIY, just google

Party Host:


Party Magic and Bubble Show: Mr. Lambert Flores
 Super awesome performance!



Jacob's Bubble Cake!

We got the chance to be placed inside a big bubble! Super fun!


Other guests also got the chance to be inside a big bubble!

Game/Performance for the Dads!
The host asked the Dads (with special mention for Jojo!) to be on stage. And they danced to the tune of YMCA! Can't wait for the video! Haha..



Verdict: 9/10
The performance was awesome! Thanks. Mr. Lambert Flores. And to top this thing off, he performed the P15,000 Package One for Jacob's party for just the price of Package 2! I really appreciated those he did for the party as well as his crews!
They also arrived early at the party to prepare and made sureevery kids and adult guests were blown by their deeds and performance.
