Travis' And His Minion Themed Party

Let me share this to you, after I posted pictures of Travis' minion party, I received messages asking where I got this or that, so I decided to make an entry to help Moms/Aunt/Sis or any event planner to help them save (yes, read it right SAVE!) it's in the matter of setting your budget, and stick to it!

So where will I start?
It was then June, when I ask Travis what theme he wants for his birthday, he always says, soldier or army. So okay, that would be easy, because it's generic. But then comes July, out the Despicable Me 2 movie, he then like Minions, so Minions it is. I searched Google and Pinterest for ideas, and all of them were do-it-yourself which won't make it, because I'm a working (busy) Mom. But with the help of online sellers and sticking to the theme Minions (which are yellows and blues) I think we pulled everything off just right.

So let's start with?
A. My Party Planner, Ms Ley and Mr. JB of InstaShot Photobooth.
    Got their Package that includes:
1. Event Styling, I personally requested less on balloons, and still they made everything look so great! Fun-tastic styling guys! Designs were made of lanterns, medallions, diy minion bottles. They also provide our game master and sound system too. 

While that Travis standee in the middle (him with an ice cream on his hand) was ordered through Aimee of Ma Arte Aims. 

2. Candy Buffet, surely their gummies, candies, oh those yogurt sticks are FTW! 

3. Face Paint, for an activity on the side.

4. Magician: JB Lazerman, since Travis is Three now, he can then participate in the games, not to mention perform some serious magic. You can check his FB Page here: Lasermagic by JB Dela Cruz

5. Three 3 hours standee photobooth, which we, our relatives and guests enjoyed. 

B. SisterArt : Cake and Cupcakes
Because we wouldn't want to miss SisterArt! :) More of their art cakes at their FB Page: SisterArt Bakeshop

C. Mascot and Photo Coverage: Ren Events. Visit their page here: http://renevents.org/cosplay-costumes-makers

D: Give-aways & Prizes, candies, gummies:  I bought them over at FB online sellers. I listed their FB links and what we ordered from them. 

   Paulen's PartyNeeds: From party prizes to candies, I ordered three times from this shop.

     Partie Invitazion: Tumblers and Bag Tags - useful and convenient, and cute too. 

Personalized Kids Minions shirts - Markchen's Shop

Table Centerpiece is a must since I don't put much of balloons, and our guests took them home. from Kulukuti Haws.

I believe you can get everything in one supplier, but for someone like Me, who won't settle for one, I think this could be of help. 

Oh, Food, before I forget. I booked them through Rose, a good friend whose a event stylist and planner too, check out their FB Page here: The Eventologist. And their food was great, especially their beef broccoli and baked macaroni. 

 

To cap off this post, I have to share this photo, where Travis and Laserman gets to amaze everyone with their snow magic: 

and I'll get this opportunity to thank everyone who helped and inspired me. And as I post this entry I hope I get to help making any themed party possible, well as your birthday boy/girl thought of. Happy Planning! :) 

Thank You Weekend

-- For letting us spend the whole day playing with Travis. 

-- You make me cook for lunch and dinner. 

-- I have me-time inside the bathroom, and that includes cleaning it! 

-- Watching Toy Story 3 on his iPad the whoooooooole day. And seeing Travis talk like Woody, Buzz and Bulleye (Jessie's Horse) 

So HAPPY WEEKEND All, I am waiting for this day since last week. Until next. 

Oh, I miss blogging too.

At Your Side

I'm.Hooked.to.Animated.Gif. I thank my friend Mommy Denise for sharing this site.

He doesn't want to hold hand anymore, 

As if he wants to explore the jungle (read WORLD) on his own. 

Sorry little boy, Daddy and Mommy will always be here, holding you tight, side by side..

until our thick hair turns gray.

Happy Saturday everyone! 

15 days to go before Christmas, have you prepared your menu for Noche Buena? I did.

When All Else Fails, Try Gelatissimo

It was the last weekend we had Yaya slash Helper Laila, and that's the last time I get to enjoy my me-time at the salon without worrying about my little man. But Monday came and everything turns upside down-down, she left. And all is left with me, honestly it is hard. Good thing Travis's a good boy, (the Mom here speaking)   I could just dump all his toys and play with him on the bed, we danced to J Lo's On the Floor and Katy Perry's Peacock, oh, you must really see how he dance. 

But when he ends up crying, I'll pause, look at him and do funny faces just to cheer him up. I may not have long, longer patience when he cries, but thanks to food and his bicycle, we're both relieved. 

Just then I am thankful for Gelatissimo, for giving me the umph, aaaaah, whew over the weekend that I really need. A gelato saved the weekend, can I have one again next weekend and this time with the Husband?
