IDK if it’s just Filipinos who do this, but we always throw big parties for milestone birthdays – 1, 7 and 18. My 7th birthday party at Mcdonald’s is a core memory of mine, so much so that I proudly proclaim it on a shirt and still have a special relationship with Mcdonald’s to this day LOL.

Miles was a covid baby, born right before the pandemic hit, so he never had a big 1st birthday party. We had to celebrate big for his 7th!

These custom candy bag toppers I helped Shi make turned out so good! She was originally gonna get them printed at Kinko’s, but then she’d still have to cut them individually. Plus, we could only fit two on a standard 8.5×11″ sheet, and she wanted 100 of them on specialty paper. I suggested getting them printed online on postcards that were cut to size already, printed on cardstock, and half the cost of printing it at Kinko’s. She said I could totally do this as a side hustle, but I just like doing it for funsies. Graphic designing for work already sucks the soul right out of me 😅

Is it even a party if there’s no taco cart???

Spoiler Alert: I’m the fun aunt 🤪
Happiest birthday, Miles Maximo!
