I always think a baby's first birthday is something special and because as far as my memory can recall, I do not have any birthday celebration in my childhood days at all (am not blaming my parents as they need to feed the 7 of us hence no luxury of birthday bash etc during those days). So since we can afford a humble celebration for Lit'Jaden, we would love to give our precious a memorable 1st birthday bash party when he turns to the BIG 1ONE !
Jaden: Thank u PapaJac & MamaAde..have fun planning a fun one for my guests ya!!!
1st - Venue??
held at home or ?? in the end..after much discussion with PapaJac, we decided to hold it outside so that we don't have to clean up the mess after party time. So he started to source for venue and let me decide. We shortlisted 5 choices..Amazonia at Great World City, Polliwogs at East Coast Park, Peekaboo at Kallang Leisure Mall, Atlantis City at Delta Sports Complex or rent a chalet.
Went Amazonia to check it out (fantastic indoor children entertainment centre, kids sure love it but we did not go for it bcos it was a bit off our budget and they do not allow us to cater our own food plus most importantly Jaden don't know how to appreciate this fantastic indoor playroom yet)
Next, down to Polliwogs (nice to have a private room of your own but the playground is outside of the party room and it is hugh hence if we don't get a professional host, it will be hard for us to gather the kids back for cake cutting session and again, they only provide v limited choice of food for our guest and do not allow us to cater as well..so out of my list)
Then come Peekaboo - been there couple of times with nieces & nephew. The playground was fun but the partition to hold the party is way too small to accomodate all our guest and food restricted too..so totally out again...
Chalet? hmm...too much for us to prepare too and we do not want to stay over after the party plus we need to clean up the mess ourselve definitely..so out of my choice.
Conclusion definitely left with my 1 and only choice (The Atlantis City)..best so far. The venue will be blocked exclusively for us on the chosen timing and they allow us to cater our own food...and the place is not excessively hugh, easy for crowd/kids control ..as you can tell, FOOD is my pirority here bcos 1st birthday party is really for parents and their guests, not very much the b'day boy/girl bcos they are too young to understand what's going on. So, we decided to go for this venue.
