When we asked Rafa where he wanted to celebrate his 5th birthday, he just
said that he wanted to do it at home. However, he wanted to have a lot of
visitors, similar to how his cousin had his birthday celebration. That
settled, we asked him next what theme he wanted for his celebration, and he
readily replied, “Bluey!” So we had a Bluey-themed 5th birthday party for
Rafa at home (but we also arranged another one at his school).

Since straightforward lang naman yung theme and ilang beses na rin kami
nag-organize ng birthday party ng mga bata sa bahay, alam na alam na naming
ang gagawin. Bumili kami ng Bluey-themed items online, such as
tarpaulin,
balloons,
loot bags, and giveaway boxes. I printed
Bluey invitation cards
(designed using Canva) and also
thank you cards.

At dahil DIY nga sya, we arranged everything at home. For the loot bags, we
bought candies and little toys online. We put these and the “thank you” cards
in the loot bags. The balloons, of course, we inflated ourselves. We put up
the tarpaulin, arranged the balloons, and set the food, loot bags, and cake on
the terrace.
We also cooked food at home, had a tray of noodles delivered, and ordered a
cake from
Estrel’s Caramel Cakes. Nakakatuwa lang kasi yung cake, pwede na ipa-pick-up via Lalamove so bawas
na yun sa mga need naming gawin on that day.

Syempre, hindi kumpleto ang party if walang games. We had the usual children’s
party games like basagan ng palayok, stop dance, trip to Jerusalem, and
longest birthday greeting. Iba talaga ang saya ng kids if they have many
visitors. Speaking of visitors, meron kaming mga kids na kakilala sa
neighborhood namin na laging ininvite pag may children’s party sa bahay. Kahit
gabi na, ayaw pa rin ng mga bata tumigil sa games dahil super enjoy sila.
After the celebration, Rafa distributed the loot bags to his visitors.

On a different day, we also had a quick celebration at Rafa’s school. We
re-used the tarpaulin, and balloons, made a fresh batch of giveaways, and
ordered Jollibee for his classmates and teachers. Since may next class pa, we
only had 30 minutes but thankfully, nag-enjoy naman si Rafa and his classmates
and naka-kain naman siala ng maayos.
All in all, we were happy to have been able to give Rafa a happy and
unforgettable 5th birthday celebration.

@dadonthemoveph Throwback post lang of Rafa's Bluey-themed 5th birthday party at home (DIY lang). Request ni Rafa yung Bluey kaya bumili na lang kami ng balloons & nagpagawa ng tarpaulin. Sobrang na-cute-an kaming lahat sa Bluey balloons, high quality at matibay kaya natuwa rin si Rafa. Pati lootbags natuwa kami kasi maganda at matibay. Practical talaga mag-DIY basta quality din yung supplies na makukuha nyo. In the end, enjoy naman lahat especially ang birthday celebrant.😄 @Khris Jose #dadonthemoveph #ivankhristravels #gratefuldad #familytravel #foodiefam #dadblogger #fyp #fypシ゚viral ♬ cute kawaii - nanaacom
