<u>RE: Babies 1st Birthday Party</u>
I was pretty ambitious at first bcos I planned to have my gals party outside my home. I planned to order dcor stuff like Sesame Street streamers, balloons, colourful plates, forks/spoons, napkins, etc from Birthday Direct (http://www.birthdaydirect.com/ ). Sesame Street happened to be my favourite programme when I was young and now my gals love the characters too!
Then my HB decided the party will be held at home. So I cant do a lot with the limited space at home, plus a ceiling fan getting in the way in the middle of the hall. Hence, the decor will just be a birthday banner with lots of balloons placed all over the house. Hee!
As for cakes, you may have guessed it. Yes, its going to be 2 separate Sesame Street character cakes from Polar Cake Shop. Polar cakes are Halal, so if you have Malay guest, then you have to make sure the cakes are from a Halal bakery. My sister wanted to order a 3-D Piyo Piyo cake for the gals, but my HB turned her offer down bcos the cake cost $280!!! I felt it was too cute to be consumed. Hehehe So my sister ordered a 3-D Barbie Doll agar-agar instead. The evening gown of the doll is tiered from her waist down in different colours of agar-agar. Interesting but she refused to reveal the price this time. ^.^
Im getting my buffet spread from Manna Pot Catering. Theyve been my favourite since I used them for a charity event in 2004. Ever since then, they became the regular caterer for all my family events, as well as my HBs office events. The foods nice and I personally like the person-in-charge.
Lastly, the goodie bags. Ive prepared 3 different designs for Toddlers (up to 18 months), Boys and Girls. The toddlers will get stuff like Baby Bites, soft biscuits, mash mellow, mask, blowouts, etc. The older kids will get more variety of chips, biscuits and sweets, as well as mask, party hats and blowouts. Im still considering whether to add in stickers or not. Im afraid the goodie bags will burst with too much loot in it.
Thats about all Ive planned so far. Heres the pix of some of the stuff I bought:
