Samantha's Mc Donald's Party

After months of preparation for the bratinella's fourth birthday party, finally ... it is now over. Party was a huge success! With all the guests happy and with all the take home loots (and balloons), I am sure they had a great time.

The party girl had a blast too! She enjoyed the games, the food (of course, by Mc Do) and the people who lovingly attended to celebrate her fourth birthday party. Though I've decided the party theme (Strawberry Shortcake), heard no qualms from her. As a matter of fact she began to love the theme when I slowly introduced the character to her early this year. Hahaha! Wala sya nagawa ... obviously, furstrations ng Mommy ang Strawberry Shortcake. Why? I find this theme kasi so girly-girly! All pink...and really pretty! Hahaha! Glad that my kiddo not into any particular theme, di nya feel sila Barbie, Disney Princesses or HS musical. Hehehe! Kaya, madali na influence ng Mommy to have the Strawberry Shortcake theme. (but i think, if she saw the Mamma Mia! months ahead, baka ito pinagawa theme sa akin! lol!)

I don't have any party ratings, I don't intend to post any. As I promised to hubby, will just relax and enjoy the party this year. "Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be ..." Though medyo kina-career ko ng konti sa preps, but party itself...dedma na sila. Just happy with the results. So far, this is my cheapest party ha! Thanks to my blogging raket, I was able to raise almost half of my party cost from this business. Hahaha! Note, in three months lang ha!

Anyway, thanks to all my suppliers for making it happen. Adworks (Mye) for the Invites and thank you tags, Kitchen Kraft for the cakes, Melisse of Perfect Pixels for all the tarps, Divisoria for all the toys and stickers. Tried and tested na talaga sila. And to my new-found great suppliers (uulit pa ako!): Party Time for the decors (super na-rush sa pag-set up), Howell for the nice photos, Mc Do for accommodating all my request (love ko to!), Sheila for the director's chair (hmmm...prompt naman delivery nya kaya ok na. lol.). Over-all it was a huge success. Seeing everybody happy, worth every cent! Labor of love talaga.

Please bear with me for the picture overload. Hundreds of nice photo shots from Howell (of Abie) and I am having a hard time choosing the best photos. Hahaha!

Pre-party pictures: Samantha at her cake, the party tarps and themed-prizes bought everywhere (ie: SS sippy cups, fans, coloring book, stickers, pens, lunch boxes, wallets, books etc.), director's chair (madagascar and strawberry shortcake) as party tokens. -- borrowed Madagascar print from Bela. Thanks abie!

Party time Fun: Kids and adults had so much fun playing the games prepared by Mc Do. Think the parents enjoyed the game (and loots) more. See the competitive (and fun) side of moms and dads -- all to win a prize!



and more fun games like pabitin, pinata and mascot dance

and with Samantha's party guests ...

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who shared their time with us and making Samantha's day truly special. See you all next year!!
