It didn't take long after I gave birth for me to realize that alongside being a mother, I have to be a party-planner for the many many occasions for my children. I've always loved planning events and parties - my own debut, my wedding, my sister's wedding, my children's christening and yearly birthday parties. I even plan parties for our office!
To say that I've been through heaven, purgatory and hell with all these hullabaloos of party-planning is an understatement. I'd say weddings and baptisms are always harder to organize mainly because when choosing dates there are always two factors to consider - church and reception venue.

It's migraine-inducing to nail a church schedule only to find out your target reception venue is unavailable or fully booked. Not only that, you also need to worry about the catering, decorations, give-aways and the list goes on!
Lucky for those whose pockets are deep enough to shell out extra funds for a party coordinator, all they need to do is sit and write a check. But for mommies who are on a budget, there is no choice but to be hands on.

So here, I'd like to share with all the mommies out there who are planning their children's parties all party-related information that I find useful as you might find them useful too.
Happy reading!
