I am writing this blog to benefit the kiddie party enthusiast moms who have unfortunately very limited budget to spend but wanting only the best kiddie party for their kid.
So here's a sure way to stay on budget and still pull out the extravagant-feel kind of kiddie party!
1. DO-IT-YOURSELF. Yes, there's no cheaper way than to do it yourself. So it is just right and fitting that you prepare a vision board of how you want the party to turn. You are going to save a lot of money from doing it yourself because instead of paying others to do it for you.
2. PLAN AHEAD OF TIME. For a kiddie party, you might want to plan two months in advance the very least! But if you just realized it a week's time, then that's also fine but hurried in a way. Planning ahead of time gives you more ideas and more time to go around and find cheap suppliers of party stuff or alternatives to things that are not available for your ideal vision of the party.
3. RESEARCH. The internet is a wonderful thing! Thank heavens for brilliant minds for this invention. There's so much you can discover just by googling everything. Refer to the images. I assure you, you will drool and even get confused with the vastness of ideas presented at your fingertips.
4. THINGS-TO-BUY. Okay, in this part I might lose money for you might wanna do it yourself instead of hiring my help. But nonetheless, I would really want to help mothers who want to throw the best party for their kids.
You can find the following party supplies at any party shop within the vicinity you live in. Here are the things you will need for a successful kiddie party with their corresponding price in Philippine pesos:
- latex balloons @ P6.50 per piece (multicolored) depending on your estimate kid count you can buy as much as 3 dozens, more sophisticated balloons cost higher, such as pearl and metallic type balloons
- sticks @ P1.50 per piece (for making the stick balloons)
- air pump @ P75.00 per piece (inflating the balloons)
- flying balloons @ P16.50 per piece (this is order by a dozen basis in the party shop)
- party hats @ P3.00 per piece
- name tags @ P 12.00 per 6 pieces
- lootbags @ P 15.00 per 12 pieces
- birthday banner @ P 30 per piece

5. GET YOUR TEAM. Find yourself a team of volunteers. Your relatives, siblings, your best friends even your mom can help in setting up the place, the stage, inflating the balloons... etc..Assign to each one specific functions and hand out to them our vision board so they will have an idea how you would want the place to turn out.
The last part of the list is the very reason why most people hire us, event planners, for help. If you have the kind of family who are into the arts or at least have the creativity juice in them, there will be no problem in orchestrating a kiddie party. But if you have very limited time or if you are outside the country as in most cases, you would really hire someone to go around and do the leg work for you in order to pull out the event you expect to happen.I hope this helps you plan your kiddie party or any party for that matter!
