1st Birthday Party Planning

As promise in my previous post…I would like to go more in details about 1st Birthday Party Planning for your loves one. Each week starting from now (insya allah) I will give explaination in details with picture and hopefully there some video about DIY invitation card, party favors bag and etc.

Please do email me if you have any question regarding anything that you have in mind.

I will also feature some of the party shop inclusive mine collection for sale  in Malaysia especially Kuala Lumpur itself. So you can have great party planned at lower cost.

WEEK ONE : MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!!

Rule number one in every party, wedding or anything that include planning-please bear in mind that not everybody can attend your party or wedding if you don’t choose the correct date. It happened to my frens. Party on Saturday-only  a few can attend because some may work on that day. So careful mark your calendar and ask around whether they able to come. Tentatively book all your friend even if you friends label you as silly planner.

When you should tentatively book your friend? Basically, one month before the event. It can two month. In order words spread unofficial news about ur party. Like I’m doing like now. Baby Rayyan party tentatively will be on 30th of May 2010. Please do make urself free coz dat that will be amazing and super delicious food to be served.(advertised for a while )

Mark your calendar also means that you need to know how long do you need to plan the party to be sucessful. Some may say, why want to spend so much time on it. U never know because many things can happen and remember you are spending more time at the office compare to home. So mark your calendar every week for progress that you have made.

As for now another 2 months to go and I have got all the quotation for food, favors, entertainers, decorations and also some things that need to be design. So basically I have done 40% from the party planning job. 0% on party job.

Actually at this stage, you should surf the internet for party theme, party supplies and few things that you will need.

There are a few party shop in Malaysia which offer good stuff for party. List of shop as below :
