Debut preparations

I know! This is loooong overdue, but I still wish to blog about it.

I was clueless about it ‘til Vanj told me of their “secret” plans a few weeks before the special day. I was informed that mom, along with Ate Joy and her, had to plan for something because I totally seemed to have totally no idea on how to totally celebrate my totally 18th birthday, totally! :-P
It was, I believe, just right that they confessed of such plans seeing that going through A LOT (note that I just typed that in bold and in all caps!) of preparations became more efficient with me, the celebrant, around. Mom was, of course, the busiest bee of all, so I shall give her the highest credits for the event’s groundwork.

Some preparationssssss…
got a coordinator (though I can say that mom was still the “chief” coordinator and overall planner)
talked to Dr. & Mrs. Sanchez for the venue, The Travieza Garden; checked on the place



got souvenirs from a nearby shop; made the souvenir tags
made-up a list for my 18 candles, roses, treasures, and symbolic gifts (This is one of the hardest parts since I wanted every significant person to be included)
got a Cotillion dance instructor; had a series of practices (waltz! waltz!)


made the superb invites with Vanj, Nay Paz, Che, Dang, and JenRose (hmm.. a new business is brewing!)
got someone to distribute the invites, although I did some of the circulations


Foods (and basically everything related to it)
contacted Dacanay Studio to cover for the event
decoration
gown by Imelda Lansang (Pampanga)
shopped for jewelry, shoes, and other needed accessories (they shopped more than I did!)

hair & make-up (c/o Tam Geronimo)
sound system
lights


And dami pa, actually, pero tinatamad na rin akong mag-isip :-P

K. Follow-up blog will be up in hours (or, days).

Hi to the last person who commented.
My debut celebration has been amazing. Travieza was a really nice place. The only enemy of a great event there is the rain! Also, we've kinda had a hard time arranging the place because we've expected a lot of guests, so most of our guest tables were on the grass area, while we used their covered and open-air hall as our "stage".
But if you'd have just a few guests, it'd be perfect.
