Janelle's 9th Recording Party

My eldest just turned 9 years old last December 17. She's no longer our baby anymore. As she enter into another phase in her life as a tweener, we decided to come up with something new, something that she and her friends will enjoy and will experience  a new activity together. They love to sing so we came up with a recording birthday party.

INVITATION - DIY by Mommy JLo

A DIY project for me, made with love using photoshop and printed it at a nearby photo developing center.  The invites comes with a free microphone which I bought from CD-R King. The microphone symbolizes music, recording and fun. Also attached in the invitation is the Program of Activities, it will be first time for them, so I made sure that the parents would be aware on what would happen during the event.

 PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES

Five of her friends together with her sister recorded two songs One Thing by One Directions and Love Story by Taylor Swift.

FOOD - Greenwich Delivery

While the sound engineer mixes their tracks, we proceeded to 8th Notes Studios which is just beside Studio Z for the merienda. I ordered Greenwich's barkada meal (spaghetti, chicken and pizza) with drinks.

The table is also a DIY project and styled by me and my dear friend Mimi. I borrowed a zebra print table cloth from Ms. Jacque Tan of partyboosters http://partyboosters.multiply.com to compelement with our theme. Thanks to Jacque.

PRESENTATION - Janelle and the Marian Belles

The girls presented a dance number using their track already. Janelle and her friends choreographed the presentation. K Snaps, our official photographer and videographer prepared a Music Video. Excited much about this! Can't wait to see this...

CAKE / DONUT POPS - Mister Donut

No budget for the cakes since it will be a small party. Just bought 3 pcs mini donut cakes from Mister Donut at 45 pesos each, and 50 pcs donut pops at 5 pesos each.

PHOTORAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER - K Snaps www.facebook.com/KSnaps

This is really where the budget goes. At first I just wanted to hire a photographer since it will just be a small party. But what is a recording party with presentation without a music video? So I asked Kathy to provide also the video coverage.

So this is it. Will post the link to the official photo album soon as well as the music video as soon as I get them from K Snaps.
