This Blissful Life!

Finally, I’ve been able to work on Enzo’s 3rd birthday party invites! It’s 2 weeks before the party and honestly not much have been done. I have this back pain that’s been going for more than a week now. I dunno, stress maybe? But, from what!?

Oh, checklist! Checklist!

• Cake - still contacting Iyah for the cake.
• Souvenirs - ?
• Lootbags - still incomplete
• Balloons - ?
• Invitations - for printing & distribution; emailed to some friends already
• Photographer - ?
• Food/Beverage - reserved already

Anyway, last week I was in Divisoria with my best-friend and struggling with such a lot of people shopping around for the Christmas season (I think), to find some items for Enzo’s new theme- Batman. Didn’t know it’s gonna be such a stressful day. Imagine hopping from 1 mall to another to find Batman goodies that doesn’t seem to exist nowadays? Argghhh.. If I’ve enough budget, I’d settle for SM, you know.. I was even gonna change the theme just because of that! Oh well.. after hours and hours spent of looking around, we found some items and it was really great.. No! It was actually a relief.. So, I guess it’s still Batman!

After visiting Divisoria for farm friends related souvenirs and prizes, I then gave up and instantly changed Enzo’s theme for his 2nd birthday. If supposed I insisted on the old theme, I’ll probably be spending more than my allotted budget, which is not practical right now after what we’ve been through.

Anyway, changing the theme is not a big deal at all. This is somehow our 1st choice before that ended up 2nd. What’s the new theme???

Cars!

Yes, we changed it into cars! And by changing means changing the invitation, banner and shopping for cars the movie related stuff. And so.. here I am.. ready to share the new invitation I made for Enzo. Banner’s on the way. I just can’t figure out what would be it’s final output.

Well, feel free to comment on the invite.

1 month to go and more things to consider! I haven’t been this busy and not been able to prepare the things needed for a party, especially for Enzo’s.

Anyway, Enzo’s party will be in the province of Malaybalay, Bukidnon. Since his last birthday party was here in Makati, we decided to do it in hubby’s province. At least he’ll have more time with hubby’s family & relatives.

Thinking it through, we decided to use Farm Friends as theme instead of Barney, which he likes and Cars, which we’ve chsen for him before. Barney seems a little gay. (No hard feelings folks! Just an opinion from me & hubby.) Though Enzo really love watching Barney on DVD. Anyway, Farm Friends it is.

For the invitation, I’ve 2 teasers but still undecided on what to use. Perhaps comments would help me?

Yipee! After hours spend in conceptualizing Enzo’s invitation, I was able to come up with something good. Well, it’s not that great like with other graphic artists, but I’m more satisfied than ever. Hey, love your own, right!?

Voila!

It’s been so long now since the last time I made an entry here. I’m a new mom and so trying all my best to be a good one. After thinking it through, we decided to schedule Enzo’s baptismal on Dec. 24, 2006. And since we’re temporarily staying at my parents house while my mom’s still around, we also decided to do it in the near parish. Family, relatives and friends can at the same time spend their Christmas Eve at the house if they want to.

A lot of things to consider but I was able to work with the invitation first. No theme. Nothing fancy. But since I want the guess to see some of Enzo’s pics, I’ve arranged them in the invitation itself.

As for the souvernirs, I’m into DIY right now. At least 50 pcs. will be ok. A baby in a glass tube with some cotton inside, glitters, etc…

We’ve also decided to just rent the Village East Club House so that we don’t need to prepare the food in the house. Plus the house isn’t that big and having a caterer will make it more crowded. Got Avengoza Catering near the village. I believe they’re not that long in the business but agreeing with the budget, taste of food, and actual setup made me decide immediately.

Some photos will be uploaded in Enzo’s page after the baptismal. Please find time to enjoy the pictures. Comments are welcome too.
