The Making of Eeanne's Birthday Party Part I (Pre-event)

After much planning and thinking, we decided to have a mini size party to celebrate Eeanne's 3 y.o. birthday. This party objective is solely meant for Eeanne, not just for adult gathering. As in Eeanne's 2 y.o. birthday, we had steamboat at home with only Chloe, Max and Ian, so this round we decided to have more kids around and invited few of mommy's and daddy's friends and their children.

It took mommy's almost a month to do the preparation, mommy spent each night after work to come out Eeanne's video clip. As a non-techno savvy mommy, it is really quite time consuming to produce even a single simple video clip with song, think this job can be done just within 1 hour by a IT man..:P

Initially it was mommy's ideal plan to have 3 shows, 1 solely on picture slide show from baby to 1 y.o., 1 video show from 1yo. till now, but since video capture is not much, so thinking to have the 3rd slide show mainly on Eeanne's recent activities.

But after finished the 1 and 2nd show, mommy faced the problem on burning it into CD!(really lousy in IT), mommy has wasted few CD and still not able to burn a single one. It was another 2 days to the party, so mommy has gave up the 3rd show making..sorry Eeanne....will save it for next birthday maybe:-). But on the party day, so lucky to have Uncle Sean to assist mommy on how to burn the video show into CD, and mommy made it finally, yeh...! Even though it is too late after the party which mommy can't show it on TV to the guests, at least mommy can save a copy for collection! Still... the 2nd show unable to be burned due to the software error, it can only be watched from mommy's labtop, think have to redo one day :-(



An e-invitation card that mommy made for Eeanne. Mommy's first art work after so many years, so proud to show off to all, so mommy down-size it and sent to friends via text messages, pitifully some of the handphones are not compatible to receive mommy's this hardwork:-/


Mommy and Eeanne spent one whole Saturday afternoon to pack all the door gifts for kids.


Some of the freebies to give away on the party games

Special thanks to Kong Kong & Bo Bo for helping to blow all these balloons and create the party mood with this decoration
But the "Happy Birthday" hanging mobiles was daddy's dedication, because of this hanging mobile, daddy got his head knocked by the cabinet door just the night before the party day and ended up admitted midnight for the head X-ray! Luckily there was no inner injury. Daddy needs to be more mindful.

Special thanks to Ma ma and kakak in preparing all these tasty food. Of course besides these, there were other catering dishes.
haha..this is mommy's labtop special arranged by daddy to let the guests to enjoy the video clip show. Daddy said mommy's hard work couldn't be wasted even though it can't be burned into CD.
Princess theatre show and the scrapboard made by mommy for guest to put down their memorable signatures

Super cool birthday planning is done! I must say that host has a very good taste. Same kind of ideas was used by my colleague for her niece's birthday party. Everything was ordered online at event space San Francisco with lovely return gifts for all little ones. Barbie doll cake was beautifully designed with same white and pink cup cakes.

My Happy Family
