sweet preparations!

it's the part of the year where i get the busiest. for one, i've been very busy on preparing for my daughter's 3rd bday! the date is just a few weeks away & it's the year where the date falls exactly on a weekend so we'll celebrate her birthday exactly when she was born, on november 23rd.

items i've accomplished so far are:

1. rented a barney mascot (yes, she's having a barney & friends party & she's going to wear a barney costume!)

- i specifically requested that barney sings the 'i love you' song during the party. my daughter's gonna be so thrilled!

2. ordered cakes & cupcakes from ana baluyut. she's famous for the cakes she makes & i loved the cake she made for rayna's 2nd birthday. a little expensive but cheaper than the basic photo character cakes from red ribbon which ranges from 2500-3k. no regrets ever getting cakes from this gal.

3. closed half of shakey's tomas morato branch. closed the deal w/ a petty 1k dp.

4. shopped at divi for toys for the give aways, name tags, party hats, loot bags.

5. did some grocery for snacks to add weight on the loot bags.

6. burned a barney sing-along cd to be played during her party.

7. finalized the guest list. this time it's gonna be family. 80 max plus kids, and yes, that's just family.

8. sent the invitations.

still on my to-do list:

1. ryan to complete the tarp & ty card layouts & have them printed asap.

2. go to divi for more give aways. we thought what we bought was enough due to the bulk of the shopping bags we were carrying around. i still lack 46 toys to give away.

3. finalize the packaging of the loot bags.

i'm so getting used to this stuff that i think i'll pass as a party coordinator for children's parties! hehe

another that i'm working on is supplying 'entertainment' to our upcoming office xmas party at the blue leaf in taguig. months ago i suggested the vintage theme & it turns out everybody loved the idea. so i thought of pulling in the band 'juan pablo dream', who fits just perfectly with our theme. i'm in charge of settling contracts, finding sound system suppliers etc etc.

good thing jpd's manager is a fraternity brother so there's zero trouble in booking his band. wonderful ei?

i bet both parties are gonna be swell. (cross fingers ehehe)
