Our first time dormer! my little brother who’s reviewing for board, now lives in an apartment.. this is his first time to live in an apartment…not that he’s a baby but it was his personal choice not to live in a dorm or apartment, basta daw ayaw lang niya.. Reviewing for a board is different, he realized that he needs to be surrounded with as many geeks as possible (you know, formulas being post on the bathroom walls..and the likes) and he can’t review when Sati is around, who knows very well how to catch his attention haha
And we, being the most supportive sisters in the whole wide world, would like to cheer for him on this milestone..so we’re planning a small salo-salo for him.. sisters from the province will brave the talahibs and the bundok to be here this sunday! Hurrah!
BUT! we’re kinda tight on budget..maraming gastos ang Oktubre! remember, it’s my first born’s birthday? and 2 school activities this month..so tipid tipid ang peg.. that’s why I am trying out Red Ribbon’s Birthday Budget Planner and see how my party should go, given the budget that I have..
The Red Ribbon Birthday Budget Planner Microsite (which is accessible viaย http://birthdaybudgetplanner.com/) helps us create the best party possible without breaking the bank.
We will be having our small salo-salo on the 13th with a very minimal budget of 2000 PhP for 10 people (including the kids)
Birthday Budget Planner said our budget allocations should be:
- Cake: 299 PhP
- Drinks: 600.50 PhP
- Food: 1200 PhPย
Where to get the food and the drinks? That’s the good thing about the Birthday Budget Planner, trusted suppliers are listed on each allocation.. like for cake:
Red Ribbon branches are listed.. so I opted for the branch nearest us, which is the C5 branch.. The same with the food and drinks:
Since my sisters haven’t tried Amber yet, I think this party is the perfect opportunity to introduce them to Amber.. pichi-pichi.. palabok and bbq! ayayay!
For drinks, Super 8 is nearest to us:
I’m cutting on soda, what drinks can you suggest? Pineapple juice perhaps? or how about Pineapple Orange? Oh well, for sure Super 8 has it all since this is a big supermarket.
Here’s the final details of our party for my little brother:
We’ll be having Red Ribbon Dedication Cake in Chocolate (junior size), that’s the cake with the 299 price tag ๐ If you’ll be celebrating a simple party in the near future, please do try the Red Ribbon Birthday Budget Planner.
Red Ribbon Dedication cakes also comes in Mocha flavor in 3 sizes (Junior: 250 PhP, Regular: 450Php, Large: 650 PhP), Chocolate flavor also comes in 3 sizesย ย (Junior: 299 PhP, Regular: 499Php, Large: 690 PhP).
You’ll be hearing a lot of Red Ribbon Birthday Budget Planner from me.. you know I love organizing parties, and this is a big help for a busy person like me! ๐
