So, you’ve just agreed to finally tie the knot with your beloved – congratulations on the milestone! And of course, the next thing to cross your mind is the amount of work and organising you just signed up for between now and your wedding day. It can be trying to deal with the frustration and […]

Launch parties are focal points of stress and opportunity for companies and their owners. In an age where starting up a new company and a new product is easier and more common than ever before, the rate at which these ventures fail is also higher. The need to differentiate yourself from the pack immediately is […]

Engagement parties are a great way to celebrate what is a hugely significant occasion in one’s life. Different in character to a wedding, which is planned meticulously for months in advance and is in many ways a carefully orchestrated ritual, an engagement do is much more likely to have a party atmosphere, as all involved […]

The idea of a party favour is certainly one with a long tenure. Sweet treats have been handed out as favours to wedding guests for many centuries, with the original idea being to demonstrate the wealth and generosity of the hosts and to thank the guests.

We’ve all enjoyed a fun and wild birthday celebration or two in our time; they represent the peak of many people’s halcyon days. But as we get older, just throwing a birthday party becomes a little passe, a little boring. If guests are going to just stand around, chat, and sip drinks, then it barely […]

rganising corporate events is an art and science all its own.

The bridal shower is a time-honoured wedding tradition; and one much beloved of brides, for obvious reasons.

Cocktails, food, atmosphere and company – surefire ingredients for a great night out.

So, you – or someone very close to you – is tying the knot! Congratulations on that, but now the pressure is on the bride’s inner circle to put together the ultimate in bachelorette experiences.
