food tasting weekend

we have finally decided to use Queensland catering for Trisha's party. we went to las pinas today for the food tasting and the food is really good. price starts at 190/head for adults and their kiddie package at 170/head. their set menu includes 4 ulams, 1 pasta, 1 dessert and drinks. now, that we're done with the caterer, we still have to take care of the balloons, loot bags, prizes, pinata, and other party stuff. we're scheduled to go to divi next saturday with auntie tek for whatever we can buy there for the party.

i haven't decided about the bubble show yet, i want to get one for my daughter's party but MS said the package he saw is around 4500, so i still have to think about it. so far, we only have bibbo the clown - highly recommended by MTT (My Tita Tek) for the party hosting, games, clowning and balloon twisting. that's already around 7,000. good thing auntie tek got a good discount for our party :).

trisha's cake will be made by a good friend of MTT of Bohemia Cakes (daughter of her big boss actually ;D). we saw the sample cakes and we loved them. the cake creations by patricia erika fortunado are one of the best cakes i ever saw. very original, very personal designs, very good detail... i'm super excited to see our cake! her 1st birthday cake creations come with a "smash" cake (if i remember correctly, sized at 4x4 inches), as the name implies, the cake is intended for smashing by the birthday girl for photo ops :). i am so so excited!! oh, and trisha's cake will be a gift from auntie tek! :)

i've also finalized the arrangements for the invitations. i went around glorietta last friday to buy some stuff while waiting for MS to fetch me and i saw this booth in glorietta 3 - Printed Matter, between mcdo and esprit (in cinderella). and i was able to meet the designer/owner (although i already have a design and i just needed somebody to print it for me on good quality paper) and i was able to make a good deal. their prices are reasonable and the quality is good. so i went ahead and got their services. so yesterday, we were able to see the mock-up of our invitation and i am so happy that my husband liked it. we only have minor revisions on the mock-up and we just have to confirm the details of the map and text the final time for the final printing of the invitations.

so it was a good week for the party arrangement. thanks for my husband for helping... i've been really busy at work lately and i wasn't able to do much for my daughter's party.
