arrived by 830, caterer's almost setup. met arnold, our head waiter. he said he had to move the buffet table as cypress' in-charge staff ordered him to do so kasi dun daw sila palagi nagse-setup ng buffet table sa previous events. moved two tables from the aircon area to alfresco area. moved the cake table twice. from the aircon to center of alfresco to the right side fronting BLSS tarp (yey buti na lang, forgot they have one!) their team of six (4 teachers + host + 2 assistant/runner) clocked in by 930 as promised. still busy with the balloon decors. did not push through with the balloon centerpiece and settled for BP's so we just focused on the ceiling in the alfresco area. Bawal din kasi magdikit sa walls.

We had to rent additional tables for the lootbags and prizes and arranged them properly :D

I was relieved to see my inlaws and my family, full force na kami! Guests started pouring in and I still hadn't change, amoy balloons, sweat and all, I made beso-beso with a disclaimer, "naku, malagkit ako!"

no tarp
went to hubby's office blessing. finished the tarp before we left the house, burned it to cd for printing. no such luck in moa, 3days waiting period.

last minute grocery, bought snacks and giveaways for infants (microfibre towels) from hypermart

no kiddie chairs :(

went to look at my contract with the caterer to re-check balance only then did i realize i've no kiddie chairs. was supposed to get the chairs with another supplier but didn't push thru with the carts and totally forgot to get the chairs from the caterer instead.

cupcakes from CakeAvenue

tita lon kind-heartedly sponsored dani's cupcakes from CakeAvenue. she was kind of stressed looking for sprinkles, the staff forgot to put some and they only checked the cupcakes when they got home already. Salamat sa candy sprinkles that goes with Selecta ice cream inside their fridge, problem solved!

printed thank you tags
printed cupcake toppers
printed trivia sheets
printed color-tagged prize claim stubs
printed cutout letters for dani's banner
printed programme and budget sheet

sleepless in cavite

turning off our light fixtures wouldn't do me any good. packed my stuffs and prepared by 6 and left the house by 7, minutes after leaving the house i realized i left my last minute printouts (blech!) and my swim shorts :p just texted sis to bring one for me. didn't go back as hubby's trying to get ahead of the anticipated build up in slex. concerned at the drizzle encountered on the way. pepper of BLSS assured me, what's good about a pool party is that they'll get anyway :D so i just prayed for no thunderstorm instead.
