Bachelorette Party Dos and Donts

Monday, August 31st, 2009

When planning a Bachelorette Party in Arizona there are a few things you should know. People tend to picture Bachelor Parties as crazy and off the wall but the truth is that Bachelorette parties can really get out of control.

 

Ladies when planning a Bachelorette party take into account who is attending. Are most of the guests familiar with each other? In a lot of cases people are from out of town, college friends, family, friends from work, all mixed together. You have to be aware of their interaction to prevent the “DRAMA”.

 

Some Do’s:

 

 

  1. Plan to take a Party Bus or Limo as your transportation to the clubs. This is common sense, you don’t have to worry about DUI’s and we can get you added to the VIP List to Arizona’s HOTTEST NIGHTSPOTS! Not only that but the party continues to the next location.
  2. Plan to go somewhere and get appetizers and drinks before going to the clubs. This will give your guests an opportunity to get to know each other a little and loosen things up. They can’t even hear each other at the club.
  3. Have a Bachelorette Party scavenger hunt. It’s simple have the girls take pictures with a cop, fireman, bouncer. Get coasters from the clubs you are going to, or an article of clothing from a bartender. Stuff like that will keep the girls interacting and give them something to talk about.
  4. We put PINK MARDI GRAS BEADS in the limos wear them. It will help you keep track of girls in the club.
  5. Do group shots together and whoop it up at the bar. This is a good way to get free drinks from guys. Guys dig Bachelorette Parties and always will try to get in the action.

 

DON’TS Please listen up ladies:

 

  1. Don’t get the girls too drunk before going out. Pace yourselves, I have a rule for Bachelorettes no shots before the first bar. Some girls just don’t pace themselves and that can cause a lot of issues for the rest of the group. You don’t want to be talking about the girl that got sick and you had to take home at 10:00pm.
  2. Don’t post pictures of your bachelorette party on Facebook or Myspace. This is a sure argument with you new hubby. No guy really wants to picture his new bride having that much fun without him. For all the other ladies, they may be married or have boyfriends, again this will be a source of trouble.
  3. Don’t move around from club to club too much. You should plan an itinerary and try to stick to it. Moving too much is kind of a pain for your guests especially if it’s a large group.
  4. Don’t leave stuff in your limo or party bus. Check for cell phones, I-Pods, purses before leaving.
  5. Don’t forget to embarrass the Bachelorette, no matter what she says about keeping the party toned down. This is her last night of freedom so make it count.

 

The whole point of this blog post is to help you get in the right frame of mind to plan this bachelorette party. Have fun, get crazy but plan a little bit, I promise you will thank me for it.

Bachelor Parties for married guys?

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Yep, I have been doing limos in phoenix for almost 10 years now and married for 9. My opinion is an educated one on the subject of why every engaged guy should have a bachelor party. It is for his already married buddies.

 

Here is the simple truth about most married guys they need to act like boys once in a while. You know it’s true you work hard all week, tuck in the kids at night, generally an upstanding figure in the community. In the words of Mr. Jack Nicholson “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”

 

So you are getting married soon, the hall is reserved and the flowers and cake are ordered. Your fiancé wants to talk to you about something. She asks you and your best man to keep the Bachelor Party “toned down”. You know, have fun but not “too much fun”.

 

Well I say men go out and let loose!

 

 I don’t care what your fiancé says those married guys need this man.

 

 You have no idea what it’s like! This Bachelor Party isn’t for you it’s for those you’ve already lost. Just don’t break too many laws remember their wives aren’t going to bail them out. They will leave you, your pink underwear and flip flops in downtown Phoenix to teach you a lesson. Furthermore, they will bring it up at the onset of any argument they are about to lose for the rest of their lives.

 

Let’s be serious, I’m a married guy myself, I know the boundaries of good and bad. I’m just talking about good old fashioned boys being boys. Have you ever seen the movies “THE HANGOVER” or “OLD SCHOOL”? Those movies personify what can happen if the wife only let’s you off the chain to go to work or the Home Depot. You know to get the hardware to hang another shelf so she can buy more knick knacks to put on that shelf, which your kids will soon destroy while playing hoops in the dining room.

 

Listen MR. BACHELOR, your day will come soon enough and you will be wallowing in the mire waiting for a crazy night out on the town. So don’t cheat your boys out of this. Get a party bus or limo, hit the clubs in Scottsdale and Tempe and let the good times roll.

 

You will pay the price with your new bride but hopefully she will be blinded by her new found marital bliss. At least until the pictures of the party start showing up on facebook and myspace. No cameras, playas!

Be gentle it’s my first time…

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

This is my first blog so be gentle, my name is Frankie and I am the owner of Platinum Rides along with my brother Joey who is my partner.

I am going to attempt to give you some insight into the world of limos as well as other topics. I may even be persuaded to tell a story or two. Don’t be afraid to tell me what you think, it will help me choose topics for future blogs.

Well let’s start with the obvious topic: A limousine is a long car that passengers ride in and have tremendous amounts of fun, riding in limos results in ridiculous amounts of fun, so much fun it will change your life and may be linked to a cure for cancer. So call us right now and reserve your limo and help us cure cancer.

If your not part of the solution your part of the problem so get out there and do your part!

Frankie.
