Counting down

A glance at the calendar this morning reminded me that P's 1st birthday bash is approaching in about 3 weeks' time.

I'm hesistant to do this, this being documenting the costs of her party. I'm afraid to face the big O: Overspend.

• Venue: Aranda Country Club Executive Suite - $642 for 3D2N
• Buffet Catering - $385.20 for 30 pax
• Birthday Cake: Oven Creations - $260 for 2 tier cake to feed 30-35 pax
• Party supplies: Party City spree & Birthday Direct spree on SMH - Estimated $75
• P's birthday dress: Crazy8 spree on SMH - Estimated $18

Expenses to come

• BBQ food - Estimated $250
• Balloons - Getting from Aranda Country Club on actual day at $28 for 20 balloons, or $35 for 30 balloons

Quick punch of the calculator gives $1600++. Argh, I shall not subject myself to further torture!!

After a good 4 months of planning, the day is finally approaching! Thinking back on her full month party, P slept through the whole event, waking only for feeds, then promptly fell back into her slumber. I certainly hope she will enjoy the day with plenty of clapping and laughter.
