Hello everyone,
Why didn't anyone warn me that planning a party for a one year old is such a headache??? Even the guest list is like a 'social faux pax' waiting to happen! In the end we ended up inviting close to 100 people (adults and kiddies included!). Then comes the RSVP part where we give a date for all to respond so that we can confirm with the caterers how many pax to cook for, book the hall to try and accommodate the 'masses' so to speak.
With the RSVP date given, we still have some who haven't given any response! There just is so much to do! Thank goodness we have bought the birthday girl's party dresses (2 dresses only mah!), confirmed the hall and got most of the things done except maybe the party packs for the kiddies to pack, ballons and decos to buy........and all these while the papa's going nuts over the cost and mama's so called 'over spending'!
Still it's worth every aggravation and headache because this party is for our beautiful and cute baby, the light of our lives, the pain in the rear and loved to bits by her doting and crazy parents. Just hope that she will not be overwhelmed by the number of people singing her birthday song when she blows out her birthday candle.....hahahahahahahaha!
Ya... planning a wedding is so much easier, ya? Wedding, you only have to worry about the grown-ups. Here, you need to consider the small kids and the overgrown kids.
ReplyDeleteala cousin, relak la... there's still a long way to go lah.

I tried to tell her the rule of thumb on party for toddler. Obviously, being an excited first time mom (or 2nd time rather) drives you to spend some extra $$$$ for Angel's 1st birthday party. Well...all is worth it right...just make sure she gets enough rests prior to the party. Have fun!!! Kisses for Angeline. My God Daughter is turning ONE...
