Karaoke Night

Karaoke nights make for some of the most memorable (and embarrassing) nights. Whether you throw a party at an actual karaoke bar or just in your living room with a karaoke machine, sing your heart out with some close friends and have a blast doing it!

Movie Marathon Party

If you're a movie buff, this party idea is just the ticket for you. Got a home theatre? Voila! Else you can book a hall in a movie theatre, or get a projector and plan it outdoors. You can even set up a popcorn bar full of freshly made popcorn spruced up with delicious toppings and seasonings. Think: chocolate, caramel, marshmallows.

Glow In The Dark Night

Best friends, neon lights and late nights. Set the tone of your upcoming birthday party with a fun invite in neon colours, decorate the party area with glow accessories, LED sunglasses and neon party favours. Prior to inflating, you can even insert mini glow sticks inside the balloons and yield extra brownie points for creativity. Oh, my!

Slumber Party

For a girl's night, transform your room into a cozy fort, or set up a mini spa. Prepare midnight snacks such as our chilli, cheese toast and some piping hot cocoa or refreshing sangria, and dance all night long. If you're calling your boys over for a sleepover, FIFA and beer is all you need (no surprise there).
