Sesame Street 1st birthday theme

6 months before actual party on 28 Sept 2013
~ After considering a few places, we finally book The Kids Playroom (De Happy Ark) @ Temasek Club for Ellrad's 1st birthday event!
~ Buffet is from Li Jiang @ Temasek Club too.

From July to August
Will be on the computer to surf & do food labels/ Welcome card/ cupcake toppers/ Loot bags stickers/ Choco labels/ Goodies tag etc...

30 July 2013
~ So glad to buy the 4 impt colours of Sesame Street theme (Red/Blue/Yellow & green) loot bags at Plaza Singapura - SPOTLIGHT. 10 loot bags in a packet cost S$4.49 & I got 4! As I only want to have Elmo,Oscar,Cookie Monster & Big bird to minimize lot of sourcing of pictures again! And I personally feel if too many characters to go about without proper detailed will turn out very messy on that day. Hence I don't want to make myself headache.

~ Next I went to get some party supplies/ papers/ cake making stuffs etc at Daiso next to SPOTLIGHT which ended up paid $42 for everythings at $2 each.

~ I went Phoon Huat @ AMK to get some candy melts/ chocolate chip / icing colours/ instant eyes. I need to trial make some Cookie Monster cookie pop. If successful, that will be 1 of the candies at the Candy buffet table :) I also found pop corn containers @ $0.40 each, but i dun knw how tomake pop corn so will kiv till i found if any shop selling big packets of it so i can divide out:)

 ~ Got cookie pop transparent plastic covers & 2 types party supplies for the kids at SKP.

Ellard's 1st birthday turned out a great awesome ONE! With lot of kids enjoying playing & having more balloons twisting. All my goodies & mini candy buffets emptied end of the day! I was so happy that I don't have to carry lot of left over home which initially I still think I overdo too many alr.. Lucky my efforts all paid off:) 
 
Ellard too, was happy. He smiles so much at the camera & I believed the photographer took many of my happy boy :)
 
So thankful of our friends and relatives who came to our boy's 1st birthday party and all the gifts & angbao for him! 

Hope my boy will have a memorable 1st birthday party :)
