yup! saya adalah the party planner untuk b'day Juwita yang ke-2 (yang akan berlangsung pada 28 march nanti). Saya tahu, mesti akan ada yang kata, "eh, awalnya nak buat planning? belum masuk bulan march pon lagi kan?" oh, tidak... tidak.... sebenarnya saya tidak awal, tapi i am on the right timing, and i am already on the track!
kenapa ye kena planning dan preparation kena awal? sebenarnya, apa2 pon benda yang kita nak buat, perlu ada timelines, perancangan yang lengkap, dan paling penting, pengurusan yang betul! Plan awal, tak de la rush2 last minute.
Ramai orang suka buat kerja last minute (which is dun like) i hate last minute job! Ia membuatkan idea yang membuku-buku kebanyakannya tak terlaksana. Last minute job also demand more energy dan increase the stress for the organizer! I am the organizer, and i dun want stress on my baby girl's birthday party!!!!

*Birthday parties are like road trips: Getting there is half the fun.
*Deciding on the theme, decorations, and activities makes the days leading up to the event seem like part of the celebration itself.
*It needn't be elaborate -- kids will be happy with a small party as long as they are made to feel special.
*Even a simple party requires planning; the sooner you start organizing, the earlier the excitement begins and the fewer details you'll have to work out on the day itself.

dapat? heh heh heh.....
tak semua orang mampu nak hired party planner kan, dan tak semua orang mampu nak bayar tempat2 hebat dan arrange party yang grand untuk buat party anak2. Lagipon, bagi saya, small party is more than enough for my 2 years old princess =) The small the better, dengan kehadiran orang2 penting, yang close dengan kita, dengan anak kita, itu lebih bermakna. Paling penting, bila kita organize dan plan sendiri, ada kepuasan di situ!
i'm looking forward to make all the decoration and craft by myself (DIY). can''t wait! now tengah survery2 supplier and gather2 all the materials =) *excited*
To all mommies2 out there, bagi yang merancang untuk plan sendiri party anak2 mereka seperti saya, di sini saya bagi serba sedikit time-line yang boleh korang follow... =)
