For my first child, we did a 1 mth celebration at my HDB flat. Super cramped. Lol. We used the space outside for the buffet table, and packed in as many chairs as possible. But it was cosy, cheaper and baby got to sleep in her cot when she needed, plus I also could go into my room to breastfeed. Catering wise, we got a regular catering service. Someone I know is a pro dessert/cake chef, so she did the dessert spread for us:) Chalet sounds exciting but also potentially stressful. There aren’t a lot of baby friendly facilities, and not all babies can handle 3D2N there. You might be quite tired also. I guess some hotels at least have baby cribs + bath tub, which makes things a bit easier. Comparing 1 month and 100 days, at 1 month, baby’s awake interval is only about 45-60minutes, so baby is likely to either be sleeping or feeding or cranky (overtired). At 100 days, baby can stay awake longer, also smiles and interacts more, so if that’s important to you, you may want to choose the latter. For my 2nd child, my husband straight up told me we’re not doing either, and instead, we’ll do a 1 yr birthday celebration instead 😂 Clearly he’s still a bit traumatised from a few years ago.
I did 1 month for immediate relatives and 100th days for friends. The one month party was at pan pacific while 100th day was at prive. We stayed at pan pac for 1 night, just bring enough clothes for the baby, and milk! Relatively easy
Thank you for the reply! Did you rent a function room or booked a room/suite for the celebration? We were initially thinking of booking a hotel instead of chalet but space wise it’s not feasible I Guess...
We did 100 days at home and shaved after 100 days at BabySpa :) Stamford catering was good, the guests who came ate heartily. We DIY our dessert table and deco - items from Lazada and taobao :)
