Birthdays are very special. It is the time when
you, usually together with a group of relatives and friends, reminisce and celebrate
the day you were born. One Valenzuela
and her family would usually have a good time and eat out on such affairs, always
opting for a simple celebration. And, uhm, they were not fond of big parties.
This particular occasion broke their usual mantra.
To celebrate Little One Valenzuela’s birthday, they decided to make it extra
special. Hello, children’s party! (Woooh, pressure!)
One Valenzuela tried her best to contact and
coordinate with birthday suppliers within the city though she still had to source some stuff from neighboring places and, yeah, Davao too!. In this particular post and
the next write ups to follow, she will be discussing their experience in
putting together this not-so-little event for Little One Valenzuela.
Party Venue
at Max’s Restaurant Puregold Valenzuela

| Max's Restaurant Puregold Valenzuela Branch |
One Valenzuela’s hubby said that you can never go
wrong with Max’s. True enough, their family has eaten at their branch in SM
Valenzuela for quite a number of times and has since been satisfied with whatever
they order. They initially chose the branch in the mall but after inquiring,
they learned that Max’s SM Valenzuela do not have a big space to cater for
parties. The staff suggested that they try out the branch which has recently
re-opened at Puregold Valenzuela.

Max’s Restaurant in Puregold Valenzuela has Maximo Hall, a function room that can accommodate up to 100 people. They have various packages available for
baptismal, wedding, and birthday parties. The family chose Max's Princess
Palace birthday party to fit the Little Mermaid theme that Little One
Valenzuela requested. Amenities include free use of the function room for two hours, birthday theme cake, party loot bags, invites, name tags, party hats, game prizes, mascot appearance (not available in this branch), and party host.
For the food, they opted for Menu 2 which included the following: Nachos with Bangus Spread, Soup of the Day, Pancit Canton, Halabos na Hipon, Beef Caldereta, Bagnet with Poqui-poqui, Open Fresh Lumpia, Max's Regular Fried Chicken, Buko Pandan, Rice, and Drinks. For the kids, they chose Set B which included a piece of chicken, spaghetti, juice, and ice cream (click link for Max's Official Website. You may also download their birthday party brochure from the site).

The birthday
package could have been perfect if Max's Restaurant Puregold Valenzuela only had the mascot which was said to
be included in the amenities (Sara promptly informed us while still in the
process of inquiring that they do not have a mascot. Hubby later on asked One
Valenzuela to look for a mascot for the party.) and if the design of the
delivered cookies was correct (Got
baptismal designed cookies at the end of the party which did not jive with the
theme. Still, the cookies were really yummy!). Amidst those minor areas for
improvement, hubby said that Max’s Puregold Valenzuela has delivered what he
was primarily aiming for. That is, to make the guests happy and busog (full) to the Max.

Message in a
Bottle Invitation
Although Max’s already had thirty invitation cards
included in the package, One Valenzuela still made that extra effort to make Message
in a Bottle invitations to go with the Little Mermaid theme. This is a DIY
project that One Valenzuela made herself together with some help from good
friends (Thank you, Sir D and Kaloy!). Some of the materials used in the
invitation such as the bottles and shells were from Divisoria while the paper
twine, sticker paper, and cardboard came from South Supermarket Valenzuela. She bought some sand too for that extra oomph.The
“Under the Sea” related images for the invitation came from the web. Judging from how some invited guests
described it, One Valenzuela guesses that the end product was quite decent.

Planning any party is not an easy job whether it is for a child or an adult. We were planning a party for my elder brother’s 50th at the best birthday party bar nyc and it was so stressful.
