For Amanda’s 30th birthday her
sister-in-law and I planned both a night out with friends and a surprise party.
It was a busy weekend but totally worth it! For the night out the first stop
was to a Mixed-Up Relay at the Pantages Hotel in Toronto after getting picked
up by this awesome pink party bus which was covered in fur inside and a pole in
the middle! The event was two hours and consisted of us breaking off into three
teams. Our host showed us how to make 4 different classic cocktails (a
cosmopolitan, margarita, long island iced tea and one other I can’t recall).
Then as a team we had to make them – being judged on speed, taste and quality.
It was a lot of fun and an excellent way to start off our night. While it
wasn’t a very in depth cocktail making class I would definitely look into doing
another because I found it interesting and fun.
It also helped me cross something else off my 30 by 30 list - cocktail making!
We spent the rest of the night at two Toronto bars
which were a lot of fun. Then on Sunday we managed to completely surprise
Amanda with the party which included her friends, family and some co-workers.
It was an excellent weekend and made me realize yet again how much I enjoy
event planning. While it doesn’t seem like a career in it is going to pan out,
I am starting to consider doing something on the side from home. Maybe event
consulting or small-scale event planning. I’ll have to do some more research
and see what options are available!
