Halluuuu!
Dah lama nak
update pasal birthday party Eidruce, but actually dari 1st birthday party
Marissa nak buat blogpost tapi sampai sudah tak buat! Hahaha tapi to be honest,
masa buat first birthday party Marissa tu masih noob lagi and clueless in
organizing event sebab almaklumlah tak penah organize event sendirian berhad
ni.
Here are some
of the photos of the birthday party tapi mainly this blogpost is dedicated to
parents yang nak buat birthday party untuk anak2 tapi nak handle semua sendiri
without help from an event planner. Kiranya ni pun bole consider for budget
party jugak la. I sebenarnya kalau bole every year nak buat party tapi it is
exhausting jugak. It’s up to you tahun keberapa you want to do it tapi i think
kalau buat every 4 years pun ok jugak, so celebrate 1st, 4th, 8th, 12th and
16th. Anyway, this is my way how I did it, and it works well dari 1st
birthday party Marissa, sampaila 1st birthday Eidruce.
So here’s apa
yang you kene consider when planning a birthday party :
1. BUDGET
Well, budget is
really important so that you bole plan out berapa banyak nak spend on each
section. We set a budget of below RM1500 (for +/- 100pax including kids and
adult) for each birthday party. Setting your budget is penting because from
budget you will determine is berapa ramai you nak jemput, nak buat deco
macamane, quantities of food and doorgifts, activities ape nak buat and so
on.
2. GUESTS
LIST
Tetamu yang nak
dijemput goes hand in hand with your budget sebab dari guests list la you nak
determine how much to spend on food, doorgifts for kids, etc. Kalau buat for
small group of people, you will spend less. Nak crowd ramai meriah, ajakla
ramai. kalau nak intimate, ajak je yang rapat.
3. FOOD /
BEVERAGE
Makanan memang
paling penting la kan bila nak menjamu orang. In my experience, the best way to
save money is to order food from different vendor based on the best pricing.
Believe it or not, I cari all the food vendors through Instagram je! I selalu
cari through hashtags [example #tauhubergedilampang #kuihmuihkl] macam
ni la to find food vendors yang dekat dengan rumah. Tapi adela gak yang
tersasar jauh sampai klang sbb ingat dia dekat kl. *ahhahahaha* if
you order jauh, you kene bear the delivery postage yang tinggi so better cari
yg dekat kalau nak murah sikit. Semua food ni yg i order, semua i request
delivery sebab tak kuasaaaaa nak pegi amek satu2 food semata2 nak save duit.
Percayalah takkan larat nak buat and mesti kelam kabut kalau nak collect satu2.
But again, kalau you sanggup, rajin and nak save duit, bole je buat. I spent
about RM100++ for delivery sbb most food vendors ni pakai GoGet or Grab, so
mahal sikit la. Which of course, kalau you nak save duit, bole pick up sendiri
sebab RM100++ tu you bole spend on something else kan?
And as how
much food to order, kalau you ajak 100 orang,
it doesn’t mean you kene order each food for 100 pax. Sebab you akan order a
variety of food so trust me for each food (main food) you bole order untuk
20-30 pax je. And finger food lain dalam 50 pcs/ 1 talam pun dah ok.
My kids
birthday party I slalu buat around 3pm - 6pm, so food is ala-ala tea time
gitu. Remember to cater food for both kids and parents so make a mixture ada
yang spicy and non-spicy. Here’s the list of food yang I order masa birthday
party Eidruce:
Baked Pasta -
400g pasta (I baked myself because this is a crowd favourite and sesuai sgt for
kids. Click HERE for
the recipe)
Laksa Johor -
30pax
Nasi lemak
bungkus (sambal asing) - 30pax
Roti Jala Kari
Ayam - 100pcs
Cara Berlauk
Daging - 50pcs
Kuih Keria Gula
Melaka - 40pcs
Talam Suji -
10” (81pcs)
Creamy
Creampuff - 60pcs
Tauhu begedil -
100pcs
Birthday Cake -
9 inch
Pavlova 10 inch
- Beli dekat Sugarland By Rara. Sedap gile! mehla order dekat dia.
Brownies - 9
inch
Cold Drinks -
Ribena (buat sendiri)
*Pinggan mangkuk cutleries
cawan semua tu jangan le lupa masuk budget jugak kalau nak beli yg disposable.
Alhamdulillah
this time around food tak banyak wastage, just ada balance2 sikit for my family
to tapau.
Ni list food vendors yang I recommend and puas hati dengan service diorang masa Eidruce's birthday :
Roti jala, cara
berlauk, kuih keria, talam suji and cream puff : @honeyzdelight
Pavlova &
brownies : @sugarlandbyrara
Tauhu Bergedil
: @tauhuberdeboom
Nasi Lemak
bungkus : @ogeerazali
4. VENUE
Kalau nak
jimat, buat dekat rumah sendiri / parents / parents in law because if you buat
dekat event space, it will cost so much more! Kalau rajin bole buat at public
places mcm parks ke if you nak buat ala-ala picnic gitu, tapi kene consider
weather pulak, takut hujan sia-sia je huhu. I prefer indoor sebab takyah
pening2 nak buat contingency plan.
5. BIRTHDAY
PARTY THEME + BIRTHDAY CAKE
Well birthday
party theme is not necessary, but it’s fun to do! I mean the kids would be
happy about it and it also helps as a guide for the decoration of the party. I
never did character party, i prefer colour themed party because it’s easier to
get stuff based on colour. And one time I did a cat themed party for Marissa
and that was fun! For me, I focus on the birthday cake to be customized into
something yg my kids suka instead of the party itself. Mcm Marissa likes cats,
so I ordered a cat birthday cake and Eidruce suka main bola, so I ordered a
ball birthday cake. Customized birthday cakes yang I pernah order dalam harga
RM180 - RM250 tak termasuk delivery. Banyak kat instagram tu, korang bole cari
yang sesuai dengan budget korang.

Cake and Doorgifts : @munchmunkee

6. PARTY
DECORATION
You can
absolutely DIY the decoration, no need to hire event planner! I got my deco
stuff from MR.DIY, Kaison, Spotlight and Daiso. You will find something useful
there. It’s just a matter of you rajin or tak nak cari from store to store. And
you jugak bole rent out backdrops/props for the party. The one yang I tau is
Something Borrowed By Nawal. Dulu I sewa my barang2 for pelamin tunang dari
tempat ni la. I think ada lagi yg offer this service, just google it ok? As for
party decoration ideas, cari je dekat Pinterest and Instagram! Screenshot those
photos then buat photo album in your phone so nanti bila pegi kedai nak beli
barang you can easily refer to it. Oh ya, actually kalau you nak beli helium
balloons (yg biasa punya), check out Spotlight sbb murah! Satu belon dalam
RM1.60 mcm tu kot and tambah RM1 je for the helium gas! Tapi you kene collect
la coz diorang takde delivery. Tapi ok sangatla coz bole beli belon byk hahah
The Alphabet lights :
Kaison
Fairy lights : sendiri
punya beli from China which was meant to be used for our wedding 4 years ago
tapi tak jadi guna lol
Happy Birthday Bunting

7. KIDS
ENTERTAINMENT
This is not
compulsory but kalau ada lagi best la sebab bole bagi budak2 enjoy. Kalau takde
activities, boring jugakla bebudak ni xtau buat ape. Macam-macam activities
bole buat but yang I penah buat masa birthday party Marissa and Eidruce macam
Pinata , Sand Art and Bouncy castle. Simple je ni, sebab sekarang ni macam2
games/activities you bole include kan dalam birthday party, it’s just a matter
of your budget je. Heheh
I found this bouncy
castle @kidsplaynest from
Instagram and price so affordable, RM270 for 3 hours rent + RM40 for transportation
to Cheras = RM310. Yang lain2 mahal and ni harga OKAY and senang deal jugak.
Sekarang diorang ade activities lain gak for parties, so you guys should check
them out.
8. DOORGIFTS
FOR KIDS
It’s nice to
give something for the kids, when the party is over. The first two parties yang
I buat for Marissa, i letak some stationeries, party packs and
raisins/cookies/candies in a bag. But for Eidruce’s birthday, I ordered a cotton candy stick with
a thank you sticker for the kiddos. Coz to be honest I don’t wanna do the party
pack doorgifts type, sebab boring and malas nak fikir banyak2. Hahaha
But ultimately, the best way is to buat check list untuk semua important things to be done, so you won't forget anything. Kalau any of you nak
my birthday planning template, you can email me
at sabbyprue10@gmail.com and I’ll send it to you ok?
Thank you so
much for reading this blogpost, and I hope post ni sedikit sebanyak membantu la
kalau you pening nak piker nak organize birthday party macamane. Seronok
sebenarnya organize birthday party ni, and paling seronok bila tengok
budak-budak happy and having fun. Tak sabar la nak organize birthday party
lagi! muahahha
Korang suka tak post I
dalam BM campur English gini? Kadang-kadang boring jugak tulis English je, this
is somewhat lagi rileks and lagi chill gitu. hahhaa okla nak sambung kemas
rumah sebab raya dah nak dekatttt! Byeee :D
Thanks for reading!
