1st Birthday Budget

How much would you spend for your child's 1st birthday?

May be at 10K to 15K is enough

around 5M is okay...

silly.. just kidding


50-100K should be more than enough...

Base on my daughters 1st birthday,we spend 150,000++.you'll never know what will come up ksi kya, ayun sa super excited parent gaya namin e we didnt expected na lalagpas kmi sa budget.The budget was 80k-100k sna.kya ung next birthday nya na bonga e probably on her 7th bday na.

nung 1st bdirthday ng baby ko...halos nasa 120k ang nagastos namin... kaya medyo tipid na kami for her 2nd birthday...

kmi din mag titip muna sa 2nd birthday para makarecover.sa 7th bday na cguro ulit mag handa ng malakihan.

ganun na b a tlaga kamahal magparty for kids? i never imagined itll be THAT expensive. how many people did you invited guys? more than 100 ba???

^sis depende din kasi kung saan nyo isinelebrate and how many guest ang invited in my case... nagrent kami ng clubhouse tapos syempre masmaganda pag may decoration,plus food nag pacater kami nagpareserve kami ng good for 100 pax plus food for kids...
plus pa dito ang prizes and lootbags/give aways...tapos mga host/entertainment...
kaya meyo magastos talaga...

Sa 1st baby ko, nagbudget kami ng husband ko ng mga 60K for her 2nd birthday. Gosh, lumagpas kami and almost nasa 90K ang nagastos namin. Sa entertainment (mascots, hosts, bubble machine) and lootbags pa lang umabot na kami ng almost 23K! Wala pa don ang invitations, venue decors, food, cake, carts, etc.. Next year, I am planning to have a luau party for my 2nd baby for her 2nd birthday too. As early as now, iniisip ko na ang mga pwede kong gawin para makatipid. (We don't really make a grand celebration pag 1st birthdays nila, intimate party lang for relatives and close friends. Medyo natatakot lang kasi sila pag 1 at mabilis napagod. At least pag 2 kita na talaga namin ang reactions nila.)

around 20k lang budget ko for that, parang nde na practical kse nowadays eh! save ko na lang muna

for our son's first birthday, between 50-60k. kami pa nun ang nagdecorate ng venue, plus making of the centerpieces. (which was tiring but very rewarding dahil nagandahan sila sa centerpieces)

this june, he'll be celebrating his 2nd birthday again...sabi namin nun di na kasing gastos nung first....with the rate things are going, mukhang lalagpas na ang gastos namin as compared dun sa first....At two kasi , nakikita mo na mga reactions niya sa mga favorite characters and things...kakaawa naman ipagkait...hay...ang hirap paglimitado budget pero gusto mo masaya...ehe! As you go with the plan, nadadagdagan talaga...nasa more than 60k na kami ngayon....nakakaguilty nga knowing marami naghihirap sa panahon ngayon--some of my relatives even, pero di ko naman maibibigay sa kanila yung perang willing gastusin ng hubby ko for his son di ba?.....eh di ibigay na lang sa kanyang only son...

i agree with you,mas may alam na si baby pagmag twona siya compare before,masmakikita mo na mga reactions niya...kaya ako kahit simpleng party lang for for my daughter this june basta makita ko lang happy at enjoy ang baby ko masaya na ko... if you can afford naman to throw a party why not diba,kahit alam natin na medyo hindi maganda ang situation ng economic natin syempre gusto naman natin magkaroon ng celebration ang mga baby natin kahit simple lang ang party ok na.basta happy and enjoy si baby..wag mo na lang isipin ang sasabihin ng iba kasi sasama lang ang loob mo...saka kayo naman ang gumagastos and hindi sila...

hi, sis b3b3. yun na nga lang iniisip ko, basta masiyahan si baby. and dun sa mga ininvite, gusto ko na lang na kahit medyo hirap ang buhay ngayon eh maging masaya sila sa araw na yun. yun bang tumawa sila ng malalakas, maluha sa halakhak, na kahit papano maging bata uli ang pakiramdam. bihira na kasi maramdaman ng matanda yan kung marami iniisip. Hopefully, hindi lang si baby ang masiyahan sa araw na yun...pati na rin matatanda....pag nangyari yun, worth it ang gastos.

ewan ko pag 3 yrs old niya. nyehehehe di ko muna isipin.

agree ako syo sis...minsan lang naman ang party minsan lang din naman magsasaya wag naman lagi na lang problema ang iisipin...dapat enjoy lahat...its better to get a good host na kaya i-get ang attention not only the kids pati narin mga ?young at heart? hehehe... good luck sa party mo sana maging successful and mag enjoy lahat..

hay tama ka sis. kaya nga kahit konti lang guests namin -60 adults, 25 kids, kumuha pa rin kami ng good host...(puwera usug, haven't seen him perform pero recommended na he's good). sana nga maging successful...at sa iyo rin, panu mo icecelebrate yung sa baby? when? alam ko halos magkasunod tayo. hehehe good luck sa tin. (kumukunot na nga ang noo ng daddy sa gastos. hehehe) kwento ka kung anu nangyari sa party niyo ha...

hahaha yan ang problem ng mga dady hehe ang gastos ng momy....hmmmm....birthday ng baby ko sa june 14 na...naku next week na pala yun....hehehe naku simple lang talaga sis house party lang simpleng kainan konting games....cant afford to have a big celebration ngayon medyo tipid tipid talaga ang importante macelebrate and mag enjoy si baby and guest...sana maging successful..hehehe
yung first birthday ng baby ko nakapost yung picture sa success story hehehe...tapos post ko din yung 2nd birthday niya after ng celebration...hehe

goodluck sa atin....

magkasunod nga talaga mga babies natin. June 14 talaga birthday niya? mine kasi june 13 talaga but we will celebrate it on june 15. Yes, I saw your first birthday celebration, sis. last year pa. Cutie nga ng baby girl mo eh!! di ako nakapag post kasi mahirap mag upload ng pic pag prepaid card ang internet access.hmm...try ko nga ipost yung first birthday niya, tapos ito ring 2nd birthday afterwards. Kami rin initial plans dito sa bahay pero talagang di magkakasya, hiwalay kc ang unit ng salas at ng dining room. hiwalay ang mga guests ang kalalabasan. mahirap din kasi wala kaming maid these days (kainis no?, namiyesta sila!) ngarag ako niyan. hehehe Mas less gastos sana kung sa bahay lang. Sabi ko kay hubby sa garahe, ayaw niya naman kasi madumi daw....kaya ayan, nagsasalubong ang mga kilay niya sa gastos. hekhek wala magawa... goodluck sating mga mommies! next week na nga pala talaga....

yup june 14 talaga birthday niya...hehehe 1 day ahead lang baby mo...kami baka sa garage lang kasi sayang yung money na ipang rerent mo ng venue plus the food and decor pa! hehehe nakaka ngarag na nga eh to think next week na yun!whaaah! goodluck saatin...

oo nga tama yung sa bahay lang talaga. ang garage kasi namin makitid na pahaba. At may mga tenant din sa buong building na puwedeng maistorbo sila sa paglabas pasok sa knilang mga unit.

sis, parang tayo lang ang nandito hehehe.

this pm we will be attending the 6th birthday party ng niece ni husband. Sa big red barn ang place. I haven't been there. how about you? kwento ko kung anu naman dun for a party mamaya pag uwi namin. basta talaga party mataas ang radar ng mga mommies....kasi siguro alam natin ganu kahirap magprepare. hehehe

hehehe feeling ko din parang 2 lang tayo dito....
anyway feedback ha...

hehehe

hi, sis b3b3. The party last night was fun. It was simple, they didn't even decorate the place with balloons. There were only 50 guests. It looked kulang kasi the place was kinda good for 100 persons. Aldino was the host, magician, ventriloquist. I have heard of him in the other forum so i prepared myself for a good show. He's good. Napatawa niya nga yung mga guests. Medyo hirap nga lang siya nung una kasi medyo hard to please crowd kasi yung iba. hehehe Kahit ako napapatawa niya. (sabagay, mababaw naman talaga kasi ako. hehehe) Siya yung nagdala ng party. Regarding sa food, ok lang. medyo tipid sila magserve. kahit mismong parents ng celebrant napansin yun. Yung fries, maliit na nga lang yun gcartong lalagyan, parang aalog alog pa rin kasi konti lang maglagay. Nung humingi ako ng pangalawa tiningnan pa ako for several seconds bago nagserve. kinailangan ko pang ituro yung nagpapakuha. kinda kainis no? Yung chicken, sabagay drumstick yung binigay sakin, mapula pa sa loob pero luto naman na. Over all sa food, ok lang. Matutuwa lang mga kids kasi my play area dun. sa main barn yung party. good thing they had aldino kasi nagawa niyang successful ang party. Our niece celebrates her b-day yearly, sabi nung parents ito daw pinakamasaya. I agree with them. That was because of the host. Malaki talaga nagagawa nila for the success... hay, sana satin din. may kuha ako konti pics, san yun puwede i upload dito? kaya lang sis, stage lang at son ko. hehehe di ako makakuha ng pic masyado kasi i had to take care of my naughty little boy....nakatayo ba naman sa tabi ni aldino, nakaharap din sa audience.hehe

haha....baka gusto din maghost ng baby mo....may future.....

good host, venue and food talaga ang importante...pero host pa rinang magdadala ng party mo....

re:photos lagay mo na lang sa success story, tapos lagay mo na lang yung link...

lapit na event natin goodluck!

i want to minimize my expenses as much as possible. if i can just spend a few thousand pesos, taht would be great. that's why i'm looking for super tipid tips from you moms.
