On June 11, 5 days before Matthew's actual birthday, he had a birthday party at McDonald's. So we went to our hometown where he chose to celebrate. Hayan sya noong umaga. Namissed daw nya ang favorite nyang batya!
Ang laki na pero feeling baby pa din. He still a baby for me naman talaga. Anyway, we set the party at 2PM. Pero dahil mas excited pa kami, Daddy A and I went there at 1PM to see how they will decorate the event place and also to check the cake buffet I ordered online.
When we arrived they are decorating the party venue. Also the cake buffet supplier was already there setting it up. Ms. Lorraine of LRG Internet Cafe and Party Needs was so nice and easy to talk with. She didn't ask for any down payment even if I insisted several times. Tiwala na lang daw.
Matthew came after few minutes, just in time when they are already done with designing the event area. The cake buffet was also done and when he saw it, he just hugged with no words. I can't explain how I felt but I was teary eyed.
The cake buffet was a surprise. He just asked for a cake from Red Ribbon but we gave him a cake buffet because he deserved it. I will make a separate post on this cake buffet.
I know he waited for this day. You can see naman on his face how happy he was.
By the way, he chose Ben10 as theme.
The package that we got already includes 30 invitations, 30 balloons, 30 party hats, 30 party mats, 30 party prizes and 30 themed giveaways, and a gift for the celebrant.
Bago makalimutan, Daddy took a photo of us.
And I took of them too.
We didn't avail photo booth and photo coverage na because we have these two to capture all the happy moments that day.
Daddy A.
And his sister, Gladys.
The main reason why we chose to celebrate at our hometown is for Matthew to meet our realtives and his cousins.
Also to celebrate with he became friends with during his two-month vacation there.
Going back to the party. The party host called Matthew to start the party.
Daddy A and I were also called to give a message to all who were there to celebrate with us.
There were games for kids.
Matthew also joined the games. The kids had fun and everyone took home toys as game prizes.
May games din para sa mga mommies. The host called me to join kaya no choice, haha.
At syempre meron din para sa mga daddies.
After the games, eating time na.
The party meal that we chose includes: Chicken McDo with Spaghetti, Medium Softdrinks, Burger McDo and Hot Fudge/Caramel.
Before the party ended, Hamburglar came out.
I thought it was Ronald McDonalds who will join us e. Anyway, natuwa naman lahat when they saw him. And everyone wanted to take photos with him.
The last part was blowing the candles. Eating of cake is not allowed so Matthew gave na lang the cupcakes, cake pops and mallow pops after the party.
Our McCelebration birthday party experience was generally good and a no sweat celebration. No sweat all we did was booked the party and paid for reservation fee (of any amount), and went on the reserved date and time. Well except when billing time na, doon ka papawisan. I just wish they accept credit cards too. Also, the venue was a little smaller and can not comfortably accommodate big crowd. We had 90+ guests that day and feedback was some didn't have seats. But I appreciate that the crews were nice and very accommodating. They assisted us well in counting people and ordering additional food where we can save. Great job!
That's Matthew Andrei's 7th birthday McCelebration party. Stay tune for the two other parties that he had.
