I had very little time to prepare since I was swamped with work (that's actually a good thing!), but I did my best with the limited time frame that I had. I ended up making only the treat bag tags and the cupcake toppers and was not able to push through with the rest of what I planned to accomplish. :( But all's well that ends well - hubby helped me with balloons, and the colors in our 'budget pack' bunch (30 pesos for 20 balloons on a stick, pretty cool right?) matched my halloween/birthday color scheme: orange, neon green, and black.
'twas a really simple but nevertheless really fun event with my family. Any occasion spent with my cheerful and crazy bunch of loved ones is always precious, whether it be grand or simple. :)
Here are some photos of the day:

All in all this little celebration cost me about... 1,500 pesos (roughly about $35! :)) Whoever said you need a lot of money to have a fun party must have been kidding... :)

ReplyDeleteYour brother's very fortunate to have you prep something for his birthday.. :) I get tamad when it's my sister's birthday, I just give her money to buy whatever she wants.. :D
that was a lot of fun, i am so tamad to throw out a party, i'd rather invite them to dine out instead of washing plenty of dishes LOL
ReplyDeletethanks for all the awesome comments! :)
ReplyDeleteyeah my brother's a lucky bloke. Hehe. I told him nga...now who would throw a party for me on my birthday? He said: E di ikaw din Ate! (Sweet kid. Tsk. :D)
I initially thought of just giving him a gift, or dine out with my parents. But since we rarely see each other since we live in different cities, I opted to just put together a simple celebration here at home so we can enjoy the food and the conversation to the fullest without spending too much. :)
