Planning an event is a difficult task especially if you are abroad and most of the suppliers that you have to coordinate with can be reached only either by email or an international long distance call.  But since we have decided to have Rafael's Christening in the Philippines, we made it sure to plan ahead of time and choose trusted suppliers that can deliver.

We chose Max's Restaurant because of their popular worry-free Christening packages.  If there's one thing that I learned from organizing our wedding back in 2012, that would be to choose suppliers which will be able to address most of the event's needs so you won't need to deal with the stress of coordinating with too many people at the same time.  With Max's, you get a comprehensive party package at a very reasonable price.  This includes 2 hours use of their venue, a party host, decorated party area, theme cake, tarpaulin banner, guest book, invitations, giveaways, gift for the baby, a 5% discount certificate (for the next party), and most importantly, good food!  That's how you spell C O N V E N I E N C E from a customer's point of view.  Good job Max's Restaurant!

For the Christening package menu options, we chose premium menu 2 for Php 27,955 (good for 50 pax) which includes the following:

• Nachos with Bangus Spread
• Soup of the Day
• Pancit Canton 
• Halabos na Hipon
• Beef Caldereta
• Bagnet with Poqui-Poqui
• Open Fresh Lumpia
• Max's Regular Fried Chicken
• Buko Pandan
• Rice
• Drinks

Let me share with you some of the photos taken from the reception.  Enjoy!
