Benjamin Hall: Party Venue

Posted on March 22, 2010 by posh| Leave a comment

We held our child’s birthday party at Benjamin Hall and we just hired a caterer for the affair.

I found that the venue had nice amenities and very attractive interior. It looked well in the picture. Their booking officer was also very accommodating and amiable. I don’t think she has disgruntled customers. She is very warm and kind. She loves her job.

But during the event itself, the room was swarmed with mosquitoes. It was horrible. And considering that many of our guests brought their kids, it was such a horror to see these pesky insects flying around. I have applied mosquito repellent on my daughter before the party so she was safe. But of the guests’ child got bitten on the face! And she was to celebrate her birthday two days from our party!

I think that there is an increase in the number of mosquitoes this summer season. I just did not expect them on my baby’s birthday party. Too bad.

Planning a Birthday Party

Posted on December 26, 2009 by posh| Leave a comment

My first baby is going to celebrate her first birthday in three months. Whereas others may think that it is still too early to plan, we don’t have a lot of money to spare and so we have to save up for an event like that.

Actually, my husband dreamer and I are just intending to hold a dinner for adults on the actual date of her birthday. We will not hold a children’s party yet because my baby cannot appreciate it just yet. Maybe when she is already five years old and is ready to play with other kids, then we will hold a children’s party complete with games and all.

For now, we are preparing for a buffer dinner for family and some close friends. But when we listed them down, the number has reached 120! Would you believe that? But we are trying to trim down the guest list to about a hundred. That’s about it.

We have already reserved the catering and the venue. Hopefully, we can get discounts from them. We will just add dessert and appetizer. I am still thinking about the balloons, whether or not to have them on stage. I am no longer interested about putting a backdrop, that would be additional expense and it will not be used afterwards. So it is a waste of money. We will just have a cake with candles for her to blow and a dinner. No giveaways either.

Something simple. But something memorable with which to remember her first birthday.
