Best Party Ideas

Archive for January, 2010

Many people want use DJ Hire for an occaision. It could be a wedding, birthday, retirement, Xmas or just for the ‘craic’! But why have a DJ at all? why not just go to a bar that has one and save money? Well if you hire you own DJ, you know that they will play songs you want. Where as most DJ’s in a bar or club will only play what the house wants. Obviously hiring a DJ, function room, catering and decorating the room is more expensive, but people will probably have more fun. Also if the music is too loud, try telling a club DJ to turn it down and see what they say!

For most people thier wedding day is the most important day of thier life and they obviously want it to be as perfect as possible. You only get married once, (well most of us do!) so you only get one chance to make it count. All your friends and family will be there and you want to show them how good your life is. It’s not a case of beating your other family members at what you provide, some of the best weddings are the most simple ones. Obvioulsy if you’re the Beckhams, Donald Trump, or Peter & Jordan, (well maybe not the last 2!) then money is no object, but for us mere mortals we need to watch how much we spend more than ever.

Most DJ’s who play for birthdays work from 8:30/9:00pm to closing time. This can be anywhere from 11:45pm to 2:30am, so people say why do they charge so much? Well let’s look at what a DJ actually has to do.
Make sure they have the latest chart songs
Buy bulbs, cables, batteries, and spend money on advertising
Make sure all the lights and sound system works
Keep up to date on the latest dance trends, like those silly dances you do on holiday and want to show your friends when you get back!
If the DJ is using a laptop, all the songs have to have the ID-3 tags correct in order to show up when they search for a song.
When you give a DJ a playlist they have to get those songs you really want, that can cost more than buying the whole album by an artist.
Of course then there are the travelling expenses incurred. A DJ from Dublin travelling to Trim is going to charge more than a local DJ. Just look at all the equipment on my website at http://discoroyale.net and you will see what mobile DJ’s have to keep working.

So you see there is a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ work that most people don’t see. I’m not one of those DJ’s that scratch and mix and play the songs you hear in clubs, I play the songs you know and love from the 60’s 70’s & 80’s. Also I play those all time cheesy classics like macarena, Cha Cha Slide, raining men, daydream believer etc. I always think if you want the dance music that is mixed up, mashed up and scratched, you can go to a dance club. Most people at a Wedding or birthday would have never heard of most of the dance mixed songs anyway. You have to try and please everyone. I know that’s not always possible, but I’ve been doing it for over 20 years and I’m still being booked!

Then there is the setting up of the equipment, most DJ’s use CD players with a built in mixer, more and more are now using Digital systems that need a computer with an added mixer. The speakers have to placed in the right places to make sure they don’t get damaged, drinks put on them or sat on. The there are the lights to set up and connect to power sockets. Some DJ’s use a lighting controller as well, so there has to be room for that. If you visit my site at http://www.discoroyale.net you will find out more about my services.

Valentine’s Day or Saint Valentine’s Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by scores of people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the traditional day on which lovers communicate their love for each other by sending Valentine’s cards, offering flowers, candy, and cakes

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of “valentines”. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that roughly one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second leading card-sending holiday of the year, behind Christmas. The association estimates that, in the US, men spend on average twice as much money as women.

In the baking industry many forms of cakes are made for this celebration. One might think that the cake itself should be in the shape of a heart. This is not necessary because the cake can be baked in a average sized round pan. The way in which the cake is decorated is what matters.

Today I will explain how to basically decorate a Red Rose Valentine Cake. Regrettably, I cannot post the picture of what it looks like here. To see a fully decorated Red Rose Valentine Cake visit our cake decorations area. Many of the materials can be found at stores that will sell cake decorating supplies.

Instructions on how to decorate a Red Rose Valentine Cake

This is intended for a 6″ round cake.

1. Ice the cake with white icing. Use your small 6″ spatula and a wrist motion to make wavy top and sides.

2. Airbrush the bottom half of the side and outer edge of the top with Pink Shimmer Airbrush Color.

3. Mix a soft green color using Green Liquid Airbrush Color with a ½ drop of Brown Liquid Airbrush.

4. Utilize a coupler in your pastry bag to easily switch the green tube from the #18 tube for the bottom border to a #3 for the rose stems, then to a #352 deep cut leaf tube for the rose leaves.

5. Use Oasis Bright Red Royal Icing Roses in Standard and Small.

6. Write an message in white with a #3 plain round tube on a White Scroll Dec-Ons® decoration and after that airbrush with pink shimmer color.
