Costume Party
by admin on Feb.20, 2010, under Costume, Costume, Montreal, Vancouver
Costumes are enjoyed not only for Halloween but year-round. Go to a costume party just once and if it’s done right you’ll instantly see they get more rowdy, loud and fun then any normal shindigg. Costume parties or theme parties are often more fun because you get to go wild and dress up as someone or something else for the night. WARNING: wearing a costume, being behind a mask and consuming alchohol may lead to a point where you find yourself performing acts you’d never do if not having your identity hidden from all onlookers… So be a classic pirate or cowboy or do something creative and dress up as maybe a zombie genie, giant candy bar, or a neon 80’s Zorro. Host a costume or theme party for a birthday event, St. Patty’s day, Easter or just because you can, and yes… you can!

Limousine Party
by admin on Feb.19, 2010, under Limo, Limo, Montreal, Vancouver
The really fun way to boost the greatness of your night is to hire a limousine to cruise around with or arrive at a party in. Good thing about some of the limousines out there is that they are little more than 4 or 5 extra bucks compared to a taxi. You’re probably going to need a taxi later that night anway; it’s great not to have to deal with hailing one from the street and possibly dealing with an unfortunately shadey cab driver. Think of the difference you get between the cab and limo, pay the little extra and you get privacy, beverages, music, a fridge, TV, and moon roof to stick your head out of. If you go to this quick limousine search, you can choose the type of service you require, how many passengers, date, pick up and drop off location. It’s fast and easier than calling in to the limo company. Trust me with that one.
