Party Planning in Full Speed




Ever since we've decided to celebrate Charlie's 1st birthday party in the Philippines, the stage mommy in me took over and went on overdrive researching for ideas to create a super party for our little one. A lot of people were laughing at how serious I was at planning this party, but hey, this is our one and only baby so I want this to be really special and memorable. I know, i know she might not even remember this day, but that is why I'm planning to hire a good photographer and a good videographer.

So I officially started writting letters of inquiry to caterers and party planners last February and after two months, the party is really taking form... I'm so excited! I've finally decided on the party planner, we haven't signed a contract yet but I'm so happy with her ideas that I'm so sure we're getting Hi5 Event Planning & Design to organize the event. I did inquire with other party planners but when I look at the venues they styled, I don't get that wow factor, that is why I really persisted on contacting Hi5. Kathleen, of Hi5, is such a darling and although I haven't seen what she will churn up for my daughter's party, I'm quite certain it will be awesome, looking at the venues she styled, her creativity surely shines through, and another thing i like about her decors, they are really amazing and classic, i hate tacky decors.

Kathleen and I have already thrown ideas back and forth and because I have already seen samples of her work, it's so easy to communicate with her what I want coz I know she gets me.

For now we're still deciding on, well basically everything, the venue, caterer, photographer and videographer, entertainment, carts and other stuff. But finally choosing an event stylist that i can trust is a huge step. Yey! I'm so looking forward to the next stages of our planning
