Only 4 more months till my baby Travis turns 1! This means it’s time to start buying and planning all the things needed for his birthday party. As I’ve mentioned before, he’s having a carnival themed birthday party. I’ve set aside a budget and I’m HOPING that we stay within the budget and under budget if we can! So far I’ve bought the following:
- Customized banner and customized magnets (for party favors) - $50 (Yay for it being cheaper here in Philippines)
- Loot bags, party hats, and little toys that are going inside - $30
- Toys for the pabitin (a traditional Filipino game often played in children’s parties) - $30 (I still need to purchase more actually)
My estimates for the following:
- Venue - $0 since my parents graciously offered to let us use their house. It’s perfect since they have a huge backyard. I’m thinking of giving them compensation though since we will be using electricity (a lot of it actually).
- Food - $300 to $500. It’s a mixture of us cooking and some of it being catered. I have yet to sit down to make an actual menu, but I’m safely assuming that it’ll be around this range.
- Cake - $50 to $100
- Decor - $50 to $100
- Invitations - $20
- Bounce house - $100 to $150
- Concession stands such as a cotton candy station, snow cone station, or popcorn station (I plan to do 2) - $100 to $150
- Prizes for games - $20 to $50
- Games - $50 to $100 (Hoping I can find a place to rent these from)
- Clown - need to call
- Face painting - need to call
Did I leave anything out?!
I’m super super excited!
