Diya's first birthday
June 3, 2006 fortunately came on a saturday; The preparation for the event started atleast a fortnight before - deciding and purchaing the dresses for Junie, firming up the invitee list, deciding on the menu and the caterer, decision on the venue ( her birthday comes right when monsoon begins ); the return gifts, invitation cards, the decorations etc.
Eventually we decided to have it in the afternoon in our clubhouse which also was the venue for the house warming dinner. We decided to go with the same caterer who had assisted us during our house warming;however we wanted to have the menu that was a combination of lunch and snacks ..hence there was a chat corner and a lunch side apart from the welcome drinks
We finalised on one of the event manager after talking to two folks. This guy came with a laptop to show all this earlier work, which happened to be huge events..Finally, we decided to go with him for the stage decorations, baloons, bursters.
The music was provided by the same person who had assisted us earlier.
We also engaged a professional photographer for the event for the first time and I was quite satisfied and pleased for having done that since I have realized that such events needs some full time attention to get the quaility that we expect. Earlier, one of our friends or relatives used to provide the photography services but I was never satisied with the same either for the content or for the quality.
