Simple Party Pack

2011-08-01T05:46:00.005+08:00

In my attempt to 'fish' what she wants as her birthday present, I asked Zara this:

Me: Zara, what do you want for your birthday?

Zara: I want....erm, let's see. I want cupcakes, kurma and kismis

Me: No, no. What DO YOU want for your birthday?

Zara: I want cupcakes, kurma, kismis, toys for girls and toys for boys (while counting each with her fingers)

Me: (Obviously she didn't get what I mean. Ignore)

So, when hubby came back from surau, I told him about the above conversation that Zara and I had. Turned out, she was actually referring to the items that she wants in her party pack! Mengikut firasat hubby, that is. Haha!

What a great idea, eh? Simple too. And senang nak source. Although the cupcakes idea may need to be re-think since school doesn't allow junk food. Packaging will be decided later on. After we finalise on the theme that is. This will be KIV-ed for her birthday celebration @ school after Raya nanti. I already have something in mind for this Wednesday. Tinggal nak assembled them all jek.

Alhamdulillah, 1 item settled.

Planning for Zara's 4th Birthday Party

2011-07-27T14:50:00.012+08:00

Zara's birthday is coming up very2x soon. Since it's puasa time, so we are going to have a low-key one first, at home with the family. A simple buka puasa do with the families.

But what's a party without balloons, right? So, am penning them all down here. The Must Haves for a Successful Birthday Party*:

1. Cake

Am making 25 Disney princess theme cupcakes. Kebetulan dah ada edible images ready at home. Plan to surprise her so most probably I will only start bake very late at night before the birthday itself.

2. Theme

Will be Disney princess themed. Not that we're going to force everybody to wear gown dress anyway. Maybe just us girls. Or limit all into the theme colors.

3. Games

Will skip this. Buat kat rumah jek pun. Kata a low-key one. Sapa pun nak bergame bagai, right?

4. Decorations

Will get about 10+ balloons to decorate the house. Most probably something in pastel blue, pink and yellow hues. To suit the theme.

5. Favors

I already have something in mind now. Just not sure whether I have the time to scout for them. Will see how next week. If the plan went well, will have to get Zara to wrap them all. She'll be thrilled to have something to give out to her guests nanti.

6. Presents

We haven't really decided on this. As she already has a room full with toys. We've been wanting to get her the Ikea play kitchen but her room can't really accomodate anymore toys. That's how much toys we have now.

7. Thank you Note

Will get Zara to say thank you to all masa bagi party favors kot.

There. Think we are all set for a party now. Tinggal nak execute the plan jek. Hope time will be on our side this time around.

Insyallah.

Copy Cats

2011-01-09T13:09:00.006+08:00

I personally would never thought people would copycat us. One, because we are a small-time business, who aspires to be big. Second, because we are so new that people hardly know us yet. Hence, the vigorous marketing plan that we planned for this year.

So, when I was browsing the FB statuses of my so-called 'friends' online, I was surprised to find this one person who copy pasted the write-up that I did for our sand art activities. Refer here for our own write-up. And compare with this one from her FB:

Anyway, if you guys noticed, the write up I wrote was dated in November 2010. Whereas, hers was dated in December 2010. Mind you, she wasn't a newbie in this entrepreneurship. She has been doing all sorts of businesses and have recently do them all full time. Imagine my disappointment when a businesswoman who has all the time and energy to spend on her businesses copied the write-up that I did using my own efforts and time.

As you all may know by now, am doing this business with my siblings on part time basis. All of us have full time jobs. So, for somebody to just simply copy pasted our work is just low and heart breaking. I mean, what kind of attitude is that?

So, here I am today. Writing about this, finally. As I know, there are many more small-time businesses which have been victimized like ours. And if you support us, do email me at thepartystuff@gmail.com. As am planning to come-up with a list of all these copy-caters and disseminate them to the group, so we can support each other's genuine business rather than imitations.

Your support is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Sand Art for Kiesha and Haikal's 2nd Birthday Party

2011-01-09T10:17:00.002+08:00

Hey all,

We are thrilled to share our latest party do, for Liana of Seri Kembangan. Which was held sometime in mid-December.

It was a combined birthday party for Liana's daughter and nephew who are both 2 years old. They had a Princess and Mickey themed party and had those characters everywhere to suit the party theme. Even the khemah was decorated in purple and red theme color.

Liana had engaged us for the sand art activities. She ordered 60 cards which were enough for 30 kids. But when the time comes, bukan kids jek yang main sand art. Bapak-bapak and mak-mak pun main sama.

After almost 4 hours of constant standing and bending, we surely had so much fun entertaining the kids at the party. Despite the backache that we had. What with the pregnancy and all. And of course, the birthday girl and boy had special attention amongst them all. Kiesha obviously didn't want to miss the fun and Haikal, just love the sand so much!

But the highlight of them all, was when I had time to chit chat with some of the kids after the party. Asking them what their favorite activities at the party are. They confidently told me, "The sand art!!". And mind you, there were also inflatables, clown and face painting at the party!! Huhu...

And of you are like them and love this as much as we do, and want to have it for your own parties, do email us at thepartystuff@gmail.com yeah!

Toodles!

Food Bouquets

2010-12-11T22:36:00.002+08:00

Thought the blog is rather quiet these days. We have an upcoming event soon on the 18th. So, busy sikit-lah, arranging for that and some other commitments as well.

Anyhow, thought I should share this incredible idea with you guys out there. It is a great way of serving 'real' foods especially at parties. I'd say this is a similar concept to finger food, only better! It makes handling food so much easier especially if you have limited space at parties. And pretty too!

Definitely a better alternative for 'candy' buffet. Instead, you use 'REAL' healthy foods. How's about that??

Interested? Please send in your enquiry to thepartystuff@gmail.com.

Ben 10 Party Packs

2010-10-31T09:17:00.001+08:00

Ja contacted me for a tray of blueberry cheese tarts, initially. It was for a son's birthday party at school, which was on Thursday 28th. Took the opportunity to explain to her our newest product. When finally, she decided to engage us for party packs.

It was a Ben 10 theme party. The party packs were for 20 kids at kindergarten. Ja's only requirement is to kurangkan on junk foods. Which is so my forte, as my daughter's school pun holding that same requirement. Even birthday cake pun can't be chocolate flavor!

Anyway, back to Ja's event. Since we were short of time, we decided to spend more on food/snack cos they are easier to supply, 1 party toy and 1 gift for the kids. See, what we end up with here:

This is them in single pack.

Lepas dah pack all the items, I noticed the paper bag was too big for the party stuff (which was the original idea). So, the next day tu, I scout for a more suitable party bag. And since this is a Ben 10 theme party, it also natural to have EVERYTHING in black and green.

We also did Ben 10 party tags to go with the party packs. One side says, "It's Ayden's Birthday!". And another was decorated with Ben 10 logo. Clapper pun ada Ben 10 logo.

Here's a look at our production line.

A closer look of the final product.

Hope Ayden and his friends had fun on the day! Thank you to Ja & Wira for trusting us!

Maya's 2nd Birthday Party

2010-10-23T11:04:00.003+08:00

We had our very FIRST assignment from my colleague, Muni who was holding a birthday party for her daughter, Maya Arissa.

Maya is a HUGE fan of Barney. So it was only appropriate to do a Barney themed party for her 2nd birthday. So, expect to see A LOT of purple and green in this post alone! Even The Party Staff were ALL dressed in purple.

Muni has entrusted us for the birthday banner, balloon sculpting and sand art activities for the party. Here are some details/pictures from the party.

The birthday banner which was particularly inspired by this Martha Stewart's Pink & Orange Birthday Garland.

Here's another picture of the customised birthday banner in action.

Muni also called for balloon sculpting service which is done by no-other than the talented sister of mine, Aya. This is our beloved daughter holding one of the creation.

And lastly, is THE highlight of the whole event. Dari yang paling kecik sampai la ke paling tua, all enjoyed this one activity. Thanks to Muni who decided to have this free flow sand art booth at the party.

That's my brother in purple shirt, mending the booth for the day. It was such a hit! We were the last one to leave the party as everyone wanted a hand in it.

Thanks to Muni for the FIRST job!
