It's been a while since I posted paty updates here on my blog. And I think it is worth the wait..
**Note: This will be a log series of party details, including preparation, etc. This post don't want to be taken out of context (that I'm bragging or what). We spent that much because we wanted a perfect party for our daughter. And it took 11 months preparation so our budget was really stretched.
Enjoy reading!!

Party Theme: Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday Party
Date: 23 November 2013
Venue: PSE Tektite Auditorium
Theme and Setup:
Being in the event business, this helped me alot (and saved me moolahs) in preppin' for Tharaa's 1st Birthday Party. I'm glad I have friends in business who offered helped (and mind you, they're doing high-end parties!)
I'm super grateful for Kathleen dela Merced of Spark + Twinkle for the ideas, decors and everything!
Ms Kathleen offered me her services for free (only covering for those expenses at cost) . She gave the idea of doing the Jolly Holiday Party for our Lil Miss. When I browsed the web, I find the theme very very dainty and uber elegant (most of the parties from abroad were for 5 yr old kid above). So our task was to make it suitable for our Tharaa's own party.. Luckily, I have Kathleen for giving all sorts of ideas I had to execute. And we think, this is the first Mary Poppins Jolly Holiday Party in the Philippines.. another yay!!
Decors and Cake:
There were 2 color scheme selections on the list.. The traditional Jolly Holiday which is Red and White and the Dainty/Shabby Chic and more kid-like pastel shades of pink, mint green and pastel blue. We chose the latter.
Here's the ceiling decor of the venue.

I love everything about this (Actually I don't knnow much of the decors - Kathleen was informing details which one I like etc, I said "SURPRISE ME!" nalang.. lol
The color scheme is suppperrrr lovely.. Not to much of the balloons, just to fill in spaces .
Have you notice the kites? Its love..
Handicrafts,atbp provided the table centerpieces. 2 Penguin servers were made especially for Tharaa's party. Kathleen's team painted the penguins and added flowers on the table..
(Forgot to buy cupcakes lang! lol)
