Birthday Parties

Submitted by Min C

So how do you celebrate the birthday of a two year old?

If you invite your friends and their kids and have a buffet, its for you, not for the kid.  I took the easy way out and spare myself the considerations of the venue and list of invitees.  I decide to just celebrate his birthday at his childcare center.  Even with that there are a bunch of things to consider.

The requirements for our childcare are to bring a cake enough for 50 children and enough baby gifts to distribute to his toddler class mates.

Our solution is:

  • Order 3 kg cake from Bengawan Solo. Looks good and taste good.  Set back about $110 bucks.
  • Get party packs from Concourse.  Each pack supplemented with stickers cost about $1.50 x 20pax = $30 ( * Concourse has since closed. )

Total cost: $140.

Look of my little boy’s face when he saw the cake and the candles – Well worth the price.

Seeing him learn the joys of giving as he pass the little gifts to his friends – Priceless.

Other tips:

Get the cake shop to deliver to the cake. 3 kg is not that easy to bring around.
