REVIEW: SKYLER'S OCEAN PREPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY [2013]

So what I have been preparing for months has come to an end!!
Praise the Lord for all His blessings and guidance.
Thanks to Skyler's grandparents for all the support.
Thanks Cicha, Uthie, Herald & Gf who came a day before and for helping specially with the decorations.
Thanks Dwi, Vina, Fitri for cooking the food.
Thanks Jennifer for the beautiful designs (invitations and the themes).
Thanks EFATA Ladies for all the help, for coming on saturday night and Kak Charlene & Kak Mona for cooking and packing the spaghetti for the kids, kak Lanny for cooking perkedel kentang and for cooking extra perkedel jagung, lending us kitchen utensils. Valentine for coming early and helping with the hats and marking the gifts, Andrew for the great pictures.
Thanks Gabby, Intan for being the MCs and preparing the program, bang Patar for doing my request for the short devotion in the form of a children story-telling.
Thank you all friends and guests for coming and for celebrating Skyler's first birthday with us, what a blessing :).

The menu was a set of nasi kuning, consist of nasi kuning itself, telor dadar di iris-iris, soun goreng, ayam goreng, perkedel kentang, perkedel jagung, sambel, timun, cream soup + french bread, mie + bakso + tahu (kuah), minuman melon (dapet ide ini dari waktu ikut pelatihan di Kopertis! ha!), ice cream, pudding coklat, nutrijel biru isi gummy bentuk sea animals.. what else? Banyak juga macem-macemnya yah ternyata.. oh plus pastel, risol, brownies, dan spaghetti di pack untuk anak-anak, prepared around 50-60 pack.
Next time maunya ga serempong ini lah, maunya lebih simple, karena nyiapinnya juga pe-er banget, palagi duitnya ya.. hahaha.. gua udah ga mau ngitung lagi deh akhirnya waktu itu, takut nanti malah setress kalo tau total pengeluaran :)).

Anyways, I thought I had enough snacks and all for the dessert table.  Setelah di set up dan sadarnya pas liat foto which was at the end of the party, ya ampun, sepi ya ternyata mejanya.. ada juga beberapa snack yang ternyata lupa di buka...

Goodiebag dibagi menjadi 2 kategori (halah!): yang stickernya gambar ikan paus itu untuk anak sekelas sekolah sabat Skyler dan yang seumuran dia, dan yang stickernya gambar gurita itu untuk anak-anak selain itu.

Doing all those DIYs was soooooo time consuming!! Seriously.  But I was of course satisfied since I could have spent a lot more money for the deco if I had to buy everything or most of it. I bought some, like centerpiece, balloons (duh!), small buckets, 2 paper flowers, paper plates with the whale on it, paper straws.. I think that's it.
Some of us slept at 1.30 am in the morning that day doing the background for the dessert table, and continue the next day for the balloons and putting up the other stuff.

Pelajaran for next parties: MORE BALLOONS!!!! Man, like I was never a kid, I didn't think that those kids will all be asking for balloons!! Mannn.. akibatnya, acara belom bubar, balon-balonan sebagean udah pada turun.. hahahaha.. oh well :).

There were also gifts received after this shot...

Celebrating next birthday?
Hopefully :).  Pengen bikin makanan anak-anaknya ala bento lunch, eh..
tapi nge-custom 50 pack itu.. sesuwatuh, yaaa...
Ga tau kenapa, suka dengan tema "Under construction". Will it be the next? we'll see..
