Janina’s 1st Birthday Party Supplier’s Ratings

Janina's 1st Birthday Party

December 26, 2008

Prestige Tower Roofdeck

At long last, the most awaited 1st birthday party pushed through last December 26 at 3pm. I would like to thank all of my suppliers and guests for participating. It was a success! Good thing im a member of the GT forum, i got all the ideas from there. Thanks to all the sisters who shared their experiences with party planning! so here it is, stories before and during the party.


Venue: Prestige Tower Roofdeck – Rating: 9/10  

The party was at 3 pm. I came to the venue an hour earlier. The staff were busy preparing the food and decors. The table and chairs were all set up. Only flaw, the airconditioner was not turned on yet kasi nde pa daw party time. It was kinda hot when we got there, kawawa naman yung mga gumagawa ng decors dun. But anyways, thanks to Ms Joy for assisting my other suppliers. 

Caterer:  Chow Unlimited – Rating 10/10 

The food was just right. We had steamed rice, chicken cordon bleu, fish fillet with tartar sauce (my fave!), beef bolgogi, lasagna and buko pandan and one round of iced tea. I had reserved for 80 pax for adults. Chicken and spaghetti for 40 pax for the children. Too bad many guests werent able to attend. But in a way, the foods were not wasted since it was my brother’s real birthday that day, they brought home the excess foods.

Stage Decor and Balloon Set Up: Ms Jacque of Party Boosters – Rating 10/10
I love this lady since the first time she emailed me! Although i was on a budget, she still gave to me what i wanted. Loved her designs, and her attitude! Bait super! Ang ganda ng balloon decors niya. Very creative! From the ceiling swags to the centerpieces, halos lahat inuwi ng guests ko! The tarp was colorful, it was a 6×8 big big tarp backdrop with janina wearing a snow white costume on one side, and belle on the other side, and a castle at the middle with the greeting Happy Birthday Princess Maria Janina…ang galing ng layout artist niya! 

Host:  Chayno – Rating 10/10
He was superb! All the kids and adults loved him! He got their attention the minute he stepped  on the stage. He speaked good english and very decent. I didnt have second thoughts in getting him as my partyhost. Got good reviews. I had guests who approached and congratulated him for a well applauded program. Never a dull moment with him as the host. Highly recommended!

Cake:  SugarBox c/o Party Boosters – Rating 10/10

My Belle cake is a 3 layered fondant with 12″ layer edible, 6″ and 9″ second and first layer mock up design of princess belle, with 30 pcs marshmallow icing themed cupcakes with design of crowns as favors for guests. It was chocolate flavored. The cake was big and it didnt fit inside the ref, thus no choice for us but to let it stay on the dining table. Yet it didnt expire even if it took us 3 days to consume all of it. Siksik sa laman. Sweet lang ang icing, pero yung cake per se, just right. 

Photographer:  Digiprints – Rating 9/10

He got there an hour earlier. He had been taking shots of the venue, decors, cakes, guests, and the celebrant of course. Unlimited shots naman. He wasnt able to eat well coz he was busy taking shots. I I took the birthday package 4 which includes 40 pcs 4R prints, 1 pc 12×18 BIG print, 1 pc 8×10 40 pages photo story book. with free cd to be delivered for FREE nationwide, c/o LBC. And it is all for 5k. Not bad… 

Videographer:  Thorproductionkids – Rating 10/10
Met them at multiply. Ms Carmela and her husband Eros Thor were pretty nice. We just had a few PMs and texts before the party. Very trustworthy! They didnt ask for any deposit and considering they were coming from bacoor cavite ha? I only got them for the video but since i was their only client scheduled for that day, ms carmela decided to bring her camera along and to take shots. And promised to upload the pics and videos at their website! Thank you Thorproductionkids!!!  

Side Entertainment: ArtsNFaces – Rating 10/10
As soon as they arrived and were able to fix their things, they started painting. Pinilahan tlga sila, both by kids and adults. Ganda ng mga designs. Love their works! and for a very affordable rate, they made my daughter’s an enjoyable one! Thanks Ms Libby!

Food Carts: Triple MJ Catering Service – Rating 9/10
Got them from a recommendation of a GT member.  Their rates are much much cheaper than those of the party planners. Got hotdog on stick, ice cream cart with vendor, and chocolate fountain. Very affordable nga. Ubos ang chocolate fountain at hotdog, konti n lang natira sa ice cream. 

Guestbook:  Business.shoppe – Rating 10/10

“Lovely guestbook!”, “Ang ganda naman ng guestbook mo sis!” …”Ginastusan. Unique. Hinde common!” … those were some of the replies i got when my guests saw the guestbook. It was done one month before the party. It had pictures of janina since birth until the latest. the lay out very good! Galing talaga! Thanks to sis Lhoelit Rizal from Business.Shoppe.

Lootbags, Pinata and Prizes: From PartyBoosters and Divisoria – Rating 10/10
Had 30 bagpacks of disney princesses for the girls, and 20 disney cars for the boys. Both contained 1 set if school supplies and minimal candies. The princess belle pinata contained lots of candies. Prizes were all from andings in divisoria. Very cheap but not that cheap looking! 


Belle Costume:  Party Boosters – Rating 10/10

Her pretty yellow gown was made by ms jacque’s mom in law. Magaling gumawa. Tama lang ang sukat. Hindi mabigat sa kanya.


So… that ends my daughter’s birthday party story and the supplier’s ratings… will make another blog for the pictures once i got the cd copies. Again, thanks for the suppliers and guests who made it all possible. My daughter’s 1st party was a success.
