Jollibee has a website dedicated for kiddie parties. So I only had to go to the website and follow the steps in booking for a party.
1. Find a Store
This is where you select the Jollibee store where you would like to hold your party and choose the desired date and time. Our first consideration was for Hailey to be able to enjoy her birthday with her classmates, the party needed to be in school. Thankfully, there are branches of Jollibee that do outside parties for a minimal additional charge. There are three (3) Jollibee branches near our place - (1) Mindanao Avenue, Pag-asa, (2) Cherry Foodarama along Congressional Ave and (3) Sta. Quiteria. The first two are not accredited to handle outside parties so we were directed to the Sta. Quiteria branch. I immediately called them up to inquire. The same rates and packages online which are for in store parties are applicable - except that fries and sundaes are not allowed because of quality may deteriorate. There is also an additional P500 to the party fee to cover the transportation cost. Reasonable enough for me.
2. Plan your Party
Next step is to choose the theme (My Bestfriend Jollibee, Jollitown, Batman and Hello Kitty). The Barbie theme was still available then so we got that one. The party fee already includes 20 game prizes, 10 boxes of crayons, 1 message board, 30 balloons and a 30-minute Jollibee mascot appearance. You can also choose to add other amenities like invitations, tray liners, lootbags, party hats and name tags. We just added invitations to keep to the theme and also because they're relatively cheap at P1.50 per piece. I was a bit disappointed with the game prizes, though, because looking at the photo, I was expecting it to be 20sets of game prizes. It would have been okay if it was like tumblers and toys. But included in the 20 are Jollibee cards. I was like, "huh? that's it?".
For the food, they have four (4) packages for 30 persons to choose from. Or you can create your own meal for a minimum of P4,000 food purchase. Since most of the packages includes fries and sundaes, we created our package which includes chicken and spaghetti meal for 30 persons, 20 Del monte juice in tetra packs, 10 coke in cans. It still doesn't meet the minimum food purchase so we just added 5 peach mango pies and a bucket of chicken joy which we took home. Jollibee also provides Red Ribbon theme cakes for only P900. However, you have to place your order at least one week ahead and it was a bit late for us so we just bought one outside. Once this is all done, it's time to...
3. Pay for your Party
For bookings made online, you can pay using your credit card. What we had arranged was an outside party so we went to the store the settle the charges. They required full payment of the party fee plus 50% of the minimum food purchase required. The rest we settled after the party.

The party turned out to be a breeze. It was so much simpler than my plan to bring home-cooked chicken lollipops and store-brought cupcakes. I was also planning to bring balloons and make my own cupcake topper to match the theme of the party. But with Jollibee party package, not only do I not have to wake up early to prepare the food, I didn't have to brink anything else but my baby. Well, except for the cake since we didn't meet the lead time required. The crew also brough decorations and sound system. They set up the place before the actual party began. And there was a party host! The kids enjoyed the party and my daughter was so happy.
