Shen's 1st Birthday: Quick Review

Bilang 1st time kong gumamit ng party suppliers, bet ko lang gumawa ng review at listahan ng mga sana-nagawa hehe!

*Pasensiya na sa format... kaguluhan!*

1. Sweet Therapy: Cake + Cupcakes

• Price: PHP 4,500 for 1 Cake, 60 Cupcakes, Tower (hiram lang :D) and delivery charge
• Review: 4.5 / 5
• Kulang lang ng 0.5 kasi I preferred na colorful yung icing pero the rest ay sobrang ok - Winner ang design ng tower, yung print outs sa cupcakes and kahit di ko sinabi, nilagyan na ni Robbie ng name yung cake :-) Lasa? Panalong-panalo! The package is quite pricey pero quality ingredients naman kasi ang gamit ng Sweet Therapy kaya naman ubos agad siya. Good job Robbie :-)

2. Praises and Letters Events: Party Package - around PHP 42k inclusive of the following:

• 2 Clowns who acted as hosts/game facilitators/magicians: 
• 4/5 
• Very maasikaso naman at mukhang bihasa na sila. Nagustuhan ko rin yung program flow ;-) Nakakatawa rin naman yung mga clowns. Mukha namang natuwa yung mga bisita (sana nga wahaha). Hindi lang sila masyadong photogenic sa photos... at medyo pangperya lang yung atake nila... LOL! :) 




• Balloon Decor - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Theme: 50 Balloonderitas, 150 Balloon Sticks, 2 Balloon Pillars, Cake Arc, Centerpieces
• 2.5 / 5
• Silver ribbons ng balloonderitas as requested - check! Kaya lang walang red balloonderitas? and medyo pale yung colors
• Cake Arc - check naman! sakto yung pagkakalagay kay mickey mouse sa gitna. I like the colors also
• Balloon Pillars - 2 Colors lang tapos 1 balloon at top. I think they could have done better on those
• Centerpieces - Nasaan sila? Di ko nakita actually. Or busy lang ako O_o'
• Balloon Sticks: I actually got 10 free balloon sticks. Ok din naman yung pagkakakabit nila. Di ko lang masyadong nagustuhan yung colors kasi ang pale. Di tuloy masyadong lutang yung balloons. Ang arte ko? Wahaha! 

                                                                            

                

• Kiddie tables with covers, Chairs, Loot bags, Prizes, Pinata, Pabitin, Name Tags, Party Hats for 50 kids - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Theme
• 4/5
• Okay naman siya overall. Ang wish ko lang ay sana ay nasa may mickey mouse element pa bukod sa ears dun sa party hats at a few more prizes pa sana for adults din considering na it's 150 php per kid for the party needs

                
                

                                   

• Unlimited Face Painting
• 3.5 / 5
• I think it was satisfactory naman :-) although hindi ko nakita lahat hehe!

• Food catering: Carbonara, BBQ, Chicken Lollipops, Hotdogs, Ice Cream, Water, Iced Tea, Desserts with Food Servers, Free Chocolate Fountain, Skirted Buffet Table, Skirted Cake Table

• 2.2 / 5
• Pros: Good service, Nice skirted tables  (sakto pa, blue yung dress ni Shen-Shen hehe), Free choco fountain
• Cons: Konti ang servings, matigas daw yung chicken, wala akong nakitang desserts for adults, ice cream on sticks lang? 
• Other remarks: Honestly, hindi ko naman talaga priority yung food kasi meryenda time lang naman siya. Kaya lang, mas ok sana kung we paid for the service, tables and utensils na lang tapos kami na lang nagluto :-) I think mas sulit yung ganoon. Medyo pagod lang at effort. Sana rin nilagyan ng cover yung mga built-in tables. Di ko lang maalala kung nirequest ko yon. Heniweyz... snapshots!

                       

• Tarpaulin: 4/ 5! Special thanks to Jhoy Lim for the design :-)

                                              

• Organizers: 
• 3.5 / 5
• Okay naman yung service tapos free sound system pa! :-) Sana lang nagkaroon ng orientation or tinanong-tanong kami pagdating... or something to that efek. Although naging busy rin kasi ako sa pag-attend sa mga bisita. Tsaka sana siguro nafacilitate yung photo ops and all that jazz! Narealize ko kasi, wala pala masyadong pictures si Shen-Shen! Sana meron siyang solo pic na maganda. Nakalimutan ko :-(

Well, overall, it was a fairly nice experience naman - 3 / 5. Hindi lang siya yung tipong na-imagine ko hehe! I think Praises and Letters can improve pa naman... with a few more practice :-) I hope they get better moving forward. More amor powers!

However, hindi siya yung tipong uulitin ko ulit dahil more or less, same visitors lang naman yung pupunta every year. And since I've spent quite a lot naman na, I might as well spend it on overseas or "beach" travel na lang with the kids :-)
