After months of prepping and meetings, the day was finally here, Kiera's first birthday was a success! What a process! OMG! Setting up and planning a birthday is no joke, and not just a normal birthday but a 1st birthday that I have no experience with what so ever! I dont even plan my own birthdays, nevertheless know how a children's party should go about, but aside from all the stress it came with was such an amazing experience to see how happy my little mam Kiera was with what everyone had put together for her.
We started brain storming aroung October, Im so glad i had a put together a great team, people who have been helping since my baby shower, Ms Ana of Patrybitzandpieces who is in charge for the styling of the whole venue, Ms Juneth of julienespartyneeds who makes amazing balloon in all forms, and styling our ceiling, and a new addition to the team Ms. Amor of lamour events, who became the coordinator of our party. Together with these girls, we made all this happen, I'm not really creative in anyway so the all helped me put my thoughts together and we decided that a "California Girls" themed candyland would be the theme or Kieras Sweet ONE.
Grabe talking to so may suppliers, and canvassing on prices, trying to get the best deals i can for Kiera's party wasnt an easy process, I didnt know what entertainment was good, or what kind of entertainment kids wanted? Or even food! Its crazy! I'm super glad that my team had awesome suggestions on who to get and which suppliers were easy to talk to, Im so lucky that some of them were willing to sponsor for my lovely Little Mam.
Lets fast forward to the day of Kiera's birthday, I had my hair and make up done by Eica Decepida and Vinessa Vidania (you can find them on instagram) and all was well then I started having a mommy struggle day, to many things on my mind, the dress I bought I suddenly I didn't want to wear, and so I had to look for other options like an hour before the party and then on the way to the party I forgot to bring the video presentation we made for the oepning! I was soo sad i cried, not only once but three time in the horrible Tuesday traffic that we were stuck in. My invite said 3:30 because I was assuming that everyone was late because aside from being "filipino time" it was also a working day and a school day as well. Guess what time we got there? Almost 5:30pm. OMG I wiped my tears and picked up Kiera and as we walked it i couldn't help but smile to see all the hard work everyone but into the set up! It was exactly how i imagined it to be thanks to Ms. Ana, Amor, Kat and Juneth who were there since 10am! They are definitely angels!!!

The party went smoothly im glad I had the Lamour events team helping me sign in guests, take care of set up, keep Kiera's gifts in order, and letting me know whats going on. During my baby shower and binyag of Kiera it was all me! I had no one helping me, everything I did my self, super stress pawisan and ngarag ako I didnt get to enjoy the party, but this time all went smoothly and I definitely recommend you get them as a coordinator, aside from super dali nila kausap, they also are very friendlt and have alot of suggetions to make it easier on your part! Thank you so much Kat and Amor of Lamour events so glad I met you guys!

The super cutie Little Mam CAndyland themed stools are from @ella_souvenir_shop Im obsessed with them they are super cute!!!! and Kiera just loves to sit on them during playtime!
Heres our stage and the kiddie area where all the kids stay to get a better view of the program, at first I didnt consider the kiddie tables, i was planning just to have reglat table but mas ok nga ata all the kids stay together, para din mag bonding sila and the adult can mingle as well, we were thinking na play mats kaya or tables like that, mas hindi space consuming and tables so we settled on those. CUTE!
This is our prize area, I wanted to make sure all the kids had fun and that everyone went home happy!!!
My Mom flew in from Florida just for Kiera's birthday! Unang apo! Alam na! hehehehe
Super happy to have these guys with me through my journey! Almost 15 years of friendship!! Roxanne, Joseph and RJ, others couldn't make it because of work or were out of the country but surely show their love for Kiera.
