Ayra Maysaa's 1st Birthday Celebration

Pat on my back for the beginning. Alhamdulillah we had successfully hosted the first event ever as a family. Ayra Maysaa's first birthday is a wrap! I didn't expect it's finally excuted, well-done. Look, we did not plan to celebrate Ayra's birthday on the day because B can't promise me that he could take leave on May 12th, Sunday. Yes, my husband has to apply leave for his daughter's birthday on SUNDAY. (think twice before you marry someone in medical field). So, I can't confirm anything, waiting cue from him.  Right after getting back from Kuching on Monday, after voting, then B confirmed that his leave was approved. So, I have approximately only 4 days to prepare everything.

Prior to planning the party, I did some browsing on birthday theme and look for vendor. I chose Strawberry Shortcake because its pink (duhhh) and it's fresh and sweet, suitable for a one year old girl, plus it's easy to look for. I was quite shocked by the vendor's charge for the theme party, so I round up my mind to go prudent, DIY the banner, goody bags and decorations. The banner although made with my minimum photoshop knowledge, it turns out so good with a very very lower budget compared to the vendors.For goody bags, did some design and got them printed on stickers papers. And I have spent a good time in thrift store like Daiso and Kaison, seriously if you are organising a budget parties, shop at these 2 places!!!

Thank you to all my and my in-law family members who helped me so much and friends who made it to my daughter's first birthday party. I will show at her every birthday party how well her 1st one was. So, see you guys again next year, I promise, no more pink theme! hihihi...

The best gift ever, the one who teaches me how to put others before myself

My little Family, Alhamdulillah..

I'm lucky because Ayra's birthday falls on Sunday and Mothers' Day!
