Party Prep Updates.
I just read Litzie's party prep updates so now I also feel like listing down my achievements so far.
1. Invites - I still haven't received the postal notice from Artscow. The photo invites are supposed to arrive this week. I'll send out the invites hopefully starting next week.
2. Caterer - Believe it or not, we haven't officially booked (meaning paid DP) our caterer as of writing. We went to Glorietta last Sunday to visit their satellite office but it's only then I realized, Glorietta 2, where they used to rent their office space, has long been closed. I asked in the concierge where Queensland transferred but the staff claimed they don't hold any office anymore at Glorietta. Didn't get to call Queensland to ask on the spot since I don't have their number stored in my phone. Bummer. Upon verification with Queensland yesterday, they're now located at Glorietta 3, 3rd level. So to that staff, tsk tsk tsk better review your manual, sir. Anyway, I'll be dropping by tomorrow to have this scratched off the list. We're also decided with the menu.
3. Venue Styling and Other Stuffs - With Jacque and Asher getting sick last Thursday, our meeting was postponed. By hook or by crook, we'll meet tomorrow. Among to include in our discussion are: the overall decors, reservation of face painter, Flooch's program flow, projector rental (still thinking if we'll proceed with the AVP thingie) etc. Also still awaiting for the safari print latex balloons that I asked Glo to shop for me at Oriental Trading.
4. Party Loot and Prizes:
a.) Loot bag contents - Shopped about four types of animal themed trinkets at Divisoria Mall last Saturday. Candies and chocolates are yet to be bought in the grocery store.
b.) Prizes - Shopped TONS at Divisoria. The husband mused how many games we will have with all these prizes.
c.) Loot paper bag and a few more trinkets - Awaiting shipment from Oriental Trading courtesy of a dear friend.
5.) Safari Costume:
a.) Mine's all set except for a minor repair to be done on my Ebay-ordered Safari dress. Bought a new pair of sandals as well last weekend.
b.) Asher's measurement is yet to be given to Jacque's mom for his tailored hunter costume. We bought last Sunday Florsheim brown sneakers to match his hunter costume.
c.) Bought safari hats for me and the husband in Divisoria. Hubby is still scouting for a khaki baggy pants and plain white collared shirt.
6.) Souvenir - Paid DP and submitted my digiscrapped wrapper design to the chocolate supplier. I await their template for my approval prior they proceed with the printing. For the giveaways to the adults, no it won't be Fossil watches but equally charming and sweet personalized chocolate bars.
7.) Cake - Paid 50% DP last week.
To Do's:
1. Digiscrap background tarp. Instead of renting a very costly styro backdrop, I'll just design a tarp and have it printed. I have to meet with Jacque first and agree with the specs and overall design and colors to go with her styling.
2. Digiscrap loot bag toppers.
3. Have the guest sheets printed.
4. Plot in an excel file all these party related expenses.
5. Finish the AVP slideshow.
What else? I think just as long as I meet with Queensland and Jacque within this week, then I'm almost covered.
