na you get the money?

Jorussia:
na you get the money?

sharap dia.... I'm tryna tell her amount its 0kay....

Op it is more than enough.

You can also do a small parlour party and have him and invite his friends


let me even help you manage your money

photographs should not be more than 2k at most 2,500


you don't need dj just get a music player with speakers and some music cds



2crates of soft drinks is enough
a bag of table water


and food shouldn't be more than 20k.cake of 5k is ok. Then decorate the house yourself party tide niyen

Haba! The money won't be enought if she plans inviting people o!

Did you include meat in that budget @ all?
Those that would be invited will be taken there by their parents now, that means the parents mouth suppose join for the food too.

In fact, cake alone go chop like 15k self (about 15 or 16 inch).

The best she can get with that amount is to celebrate it in the child's school. It will be cheaper because most schools don't alow cooked food, she will use the money for that on party bags for the kids.

Madam, to be honest the money won't be enough. As per 1st birthday o!
If you intend to invite people, you will have to increase the money a little or leave the celebration till he is two. This will enable save towards it.
These are the major things you will need the money for: meat, cake, pictures, drinks for children and adults and at least a little thing for the kids to take home.
I don't know how many people you will be inviting sha.
Or you can make it just you, your husband and a few family members and just share cake and drinks for neighbours and tell them you did very small, that next year you will celebrate and invite them.
This is how I see it.
All the best!

exactly. Kids are very innocent. They don't know jack and are always very grateful so they'll definitely have a swell time. Infact if I want to put jara inside I can buy small small 50 naira coconut chocolate and give them while they're even dancing or watching cartoon or playing games. That is economics

Sambarry there is def some ijebu genes lurking in there

Very well broken down

I personally (that's my belief ) don't believe in going OTT for 1st year birthday parties as 1 yr olds tend to get cranky with large crowds. I also think a childs party is for the child , how will a one year old experience or enjoy lavish parties? I guess all the pictures of my 1st birthday party with me crying or my mum trying to get me to look at the camera (plus countless others of cranky 1 yr olds at others i attended esp those that change them like 4 times ) put me off all that stress.We had just us and her cousins when my daughter was one and maybe 4 more peooke when my son was one. Dont think I spent more than £300 on either celebrations.

From 5 they can get a say and actually have friends that they will enjoy it with. The most important thing is pictures so you can show them 'this was your first birthday'.

You even try. I just buy the buyables and take it to their school or children's church. I can bet celebrating it in their comfort zone makes them happier sef.

OP, if you had just 5k to spare, it would be enough. You don't have to invite the entire world to your child's birthday. Most of those who will attend won't give a fvck about or your child and just come for the free food.

Why do I have the feeling the addition to the 40k will not be coming from your pocket? If all you had was that 40k you wouldn't be here spamming the forum with frivolous questions. Cut your coat according to your husband's pocket abeg.

Sambarry.
