Budget – How to Save while Planning for Party! February 20, 2009

Here are just 3 simple tips for you from Kinetic Gal myself about how to save while planning for party! As we all know, the economy right now is not doing that well! However, you do not have to burn a huge hole in your pocket for a birthday party. In fact, I have been noticing new trends in the parties which are great ideas for planning parties without busting budget!

1. Plan a birthday party for your kids together – if kids birthday are near. Or share with a friend.

From www.kinderinfo.com

From www.kinderinfo.com

It is not unusual to find kids in the same family sharing almost the same birthdays. In fact, many a times, i have hosted parties for brothers and sisters whose birthdays are just days apart. Recently, i too hosted a party for a father and daughter whose birthday were exactly on the same day! (And the grandpa too, apparently!) Why not then, host the party all together. You save on venue and food costs! Alternatively if your kid’s best friend’s birthday falls near to each other, consider having a party together!

2. Plan a party cum special occasion all together

This too, is similar to point 1! If your kid does not happen to share birthdays/ have birthdays near each other, try to plan so that the birthday is together with a occasion that you normally organize a gathering for already! That makes it easier for you, and keeps things simple!

3. Keep the theme, but DIY and look for a more budget entertainer

Instead of getting a themed party, or getting the party planner to plan the full theme, why not do the theme yourself? I have just hosted a party for 3 year old Zi Ning and she had nice decorations hanging in her house! In fact, the family was very creative, for the princess had princess themed plates strung up and hung on the pillars! They look wonderful and are very cheap to do!

Look at the plates in the background!

I will be writing soon about another fantastic party planning website that I have just discovered, thanks to a very nice parent! I think the upcoming parties are going to be AWESOME! (There’s quite a few themed parties that i’m going to be hosting come next month!) Woots! In the meantime, it’s TGIF, so have a great fantabulous weekend ahead!

Last Saturday, I hosted a birthday party for a cute but shy little girl, Zi Ning.

Interestingly, the little plaque on her room wrote ‘NING’, just like ‘Magic Babe’ Ning! Haha! In any case, she is a really cute and pretty girl (are all girls called Ning so pretty?) and I could just so totally felt her parents’ love for her! =) It is great to see the family so loving!

It was a small and cosy gathering, but fun for all! They enjoyed the little magical cake cutting that I had for Zi Ning too!

After the cake-cutting, Zi Ning had the chance to ‘detonate’ our very special Balloon Bomb! She was a little afraid and unsure of what to do, so, her mummy helped her out here:

The kids enjoyed themselves and I did too! Steven and Audrey were also very kind to invite me for dinner! I had other parties though, so I couldn’t stay, but thank you all the same!

Organising a Birthday Party – Tips on Party Bags in Singapore! February 9, 2009

Ever since I’ve started hosting parties, I’ve had many parents asking me where to get party bags for their little angels’ birthday party. Well, being a birthday party host, i have of course done much research myself. There are many kinds of party bags and it really depends on your budget and what you want!
Here are some of the kind of party packs that you can have:
1. Stationary Packs

Ben-10! A HUGE favourite!

Barbie Set - close up

These are usually the favourites as the children will be able to use them and they come as Ben-10 packaged etc, which are the favourites of the children! Also the children can make use of the stationary in the pack and are thus hot favourites with the parents as well. These packs can range from S$3.50 each to up to S$10 per pack. Depending on your budget and what you like, you can buy these easily from departmental stores like OG and Popular Bookstores.

2. Party packs from Party Supplies store

These party packs are self-packed and you’d have to buy them from the stores yourself. These packs are usually cheaper and include party goodies like little tidbits and little games or bouncy balls. These are hot favourites as well, since children love them and parents get to mix-n-match the items that is wanted inside. :) In Singapore, you can approach any party supplies store to get the party bags (if you buy in bulk, there might be discounts too). Usually the storeowner would be able to recommend what you can get within your budget. You can find the party stores in places like Victoria Wholesale Centre.

3. Party Bags from Online Suppliers

Take a look around on the world of the internet as well! There are also online suppliers who can take care of all the party packs that you need and have them sent to your house whenever there’s a party. These stores usually have a WIDE array of party bags that can cater to your needs!

4. Assemble Your Own Party Bags!

I have also come to know of parents who assemble their own party bags! These parties are usually themed and they love to get party bags accordingly! For example, anyone who is having a magic themed party could have little magic props ordered in from online stores (eg. Magic Boutique) to assemble a nice little party bag gift for the little tods coming for the party!

Well, i hope this helps in the your party planning and have fun organising and planning the party!

Kinetic Gal hosted some parties this weekend with one for a one-year old boy turning two years old and another for a little girl turning four! The little boy, Julian was really REALLY cute! (and shy!) His parents had seen me performing before and got me for his two years old party! The family look really really sweet together, and even though I had no camera man for the party, i managed to snap a shot of the family taking photo.

Aww.. Sweet moment!

All together now: Aww.. Sweet moment!

Julian had a really cute hairstyle for the day too, with his little cockeroo-like standing hair! In fact, the hairstyle reminded me of J C! =p

The function room was very tastefully decorated, even though it wasn’t too elaborate…

It really made my day when one of the ladies attending the party thanked me and said that the show was very entertaining. Woohoo! :D

Tricia’s mum, Rose got yours truly to host her little girl’s birthday party as well just a few hours ago! ;) She was just telling me that she was extremely surprised to find a GIRL performing and hosting parties. Indeed, Kinetic Gal is Singapore’s only Magic Juggler! We had a little conversation before the party started and she was just telling me that she was really happy to find me for her little girl’s party because she just found it apt that a girl should be hosting the party for her little girl’s birthday! :) I hosted a BIGGER package party for Tricia which included a games segment as well and was really glad everyone enjoyed themselves! *GRIN*

Just before ending the day, I went to the shops to grab a little something for my juggling rings. Instead of the plain old rings, now this is the ‘new’ rings that the children are going to see!

'New' Rings!

'New' Rings!

Yup, I’m always on the lookout for new things and improvements to be made to my show! Previously, I had always found the rings a little plain – and it just isn’t apparent when the rings are spinning! Now with this little addition, i think the rings look a lot ‘cool-er’ and have just that bit more of character! What do you think? ;)

In fact, Kinetic Gal’s going to have a new set of clubs in a few days! And i’m dying to play with the new clubs too!

Till then!

Happy Moo Year!!

Happy Moo Year!!

Happy Moo Year! I saw this very interesting taxi on the road while running parties so i decided to share this on the blog! This weekend was really busy with parties and walk around juggling!

While most people were busy with Chinese New Year celebrations, some kids were having their birthdays, and it was great fun for them with New Year celebrations and birthday celebrations at the same time! (Double the ang-pows!) Of the few parties that i hosted this weekend, i saw some very nice decorations at one of the party! Here are just two of the pictures:

Mr Balloon Stickman!

The customer had asked for a recommendation from me about balloon decorations, and I recommended Balloon Barons. These guys are great at balloon decorations and you can get them for your party decorations and they have a wide range of decorations that they can do, depending on your budget.

I hosted another party for a 6 year old boy, Prithvi too, at Jervois Lodge! Even though his mum, Shawna related to me that it was the first party that they have done, it definitely did not look like so! The kids really enjoyed themselves (and they LOVED the balloon bomb) and the party was very well-ran! :)

Food Time!

Here’s wishing all Aahana, Zhijun and Prithvi a Happy Birthday!

Happy Lunar New Year to one and all too!

PS. I have received quite a few emails asking about how and where to get party bags, so i shall be sharing about that soon! =)
