Updates on my Party Planning for Bela

During Bela’s first and second birthday, I really planned in advance and by this time, I am already booked with most of my major suppliers like the live entertainers, venue and photographer. But since it is just last week that we finally made a decision to have a party for her third birthday, it is only now that I am starting to plan for her party. But I guess since it is only a small party, I still have enough time for the party preparation.

1. Venue: Done
We checked Kidz Republic in Mall of Asia last Saturday and I find their package very reasonable. Their cheapest package includes 3 hours use of the party room, balloons, invitations, host, food (hotdog, ice cream and coke) and 2 hours play for 20 kids at their indoor play area.

I already made a pencil booking for November 16 (which is her actual birth date) from 2-5 PM. I need to pay the 50% down payment, three weeks before the actual party.

2. Live Entertainers: Still looking Since I have three hours to consume for the party, I was thinking that I need to hire an entertainer so we can maximize the three hours use of the party room.

I’m choosing between a puppet show and a magician. We already had a magician during her first birthday so I’m thinking to have a puppet show instead so it will be something new since we will be having the same guest as her first birthday party.

3. Photo / Video: Done
Of course, the video will be taken care of my cousin. As for the photographer, my husband will just ask one of his friend photographers to cover the event. He will still shoot from time to time but we have to assign somebody to be the dedicated photographer so everything will be covered.

4. Souvenir: Still looking
I still don’t have an idea for the souvenir as we really have a limited budget only. Any suggestions?

5. Theme: Madagascar or Jungle Safari
This is just a general idea as I haven’t done much research yet about that particular theme.

6. Cake: Still looking
I have asked a friend for the contact number of the baker who makes cakes for her parties so I might order from them too as it is highly recommended by my friend.

I guess these are the major items that I have to take care for now.
