Bellingham Weddings - Choosing the Right Date

Congratulations on your engagement! Now the fun is about to start. If you are newly engaged you may be feeling overwhelmed by the thought of planning a Bellingham wedding. Never fear, brides! We, your Bellingham limo experts, are here, along with a host of other trained professionals, to help you through the process.

One of the first decisions you have to make is the date of the wedding. This is a complicated decision and the choice you make will influence many other aspects of the wedding. Of course, a bridal couple has to work around their schedule. Work, vacation time and other family commitments can greatly influence the decision. The schedule of important people in their lives, such as parents, grandparents, extended family members, and friends should also be considered.

The choice of date will greatly influence the colors of the wedding. A winter bride might want to embrace the season with a Christmas theme or a silver, white and icy blue color scheme. A spring bride might want to have pastel colors or go for a vibrant garden theme. Summer couples might decide to go with warm citrus colors of the season or a beach theme. Fall weddings will lend themselves to a palette of golds, reds and oranges.

The date of the event will also have an influence on the venue. If you have your heart set on a specific venue, you will have to check on the availability before you set the date. A popular venue will book-up quickly, so be sure to start the process early.

Additionally, the wedding budget will also be effected by the date of the wedding. According to Apply Wed, the Top 5 Most Popular Wedding Dates for 2012, based on their data of over 300 responses are:

• July 14
• August 11
• August 18
• July 28
• August 25

If you choose one of these dates, or another popular day, you are likely to be paying a premium price on the venue and all the services and vendors you will be hiring.


Consider getting married on a Sunday or a Friday. It's likely that there will be fewer couples trying to book your venue on those days.

Pinterest

Don't you just love Pinterest?

If you aren't familiar with it, it is a social networking site of sorts. But it is also a great way to visually organize all the things that you love and to share them with friends. It's almost like a visual record of your favorite places.

It's a great place to plan for events too. If you are planning a birthday party, for instance, you can search the web for ideas related to your theme and then add the images you like to your bulletin board. Then you can see all your ideas in one place, at one time. This makes for a great planning tool.

We have an account and are loving the process of posting, or "pinning" as Pinterest calls it. We also love sharing with others and seeing what others are sharing. Check out our page to see photos of our limos, other cool limousines, information related to limousines, Bellingham and ideas for planning for a wedding, birthdays, showers or the Prom.

And if you need an invitation, please feel free to ask and we'll be happy to send one to you.

Join the first and only northwest limousine service to be pinning.

Aren't we just so hip? ;)

Are you working for the weekend?

Well...  it's heeeerreeee!

Reward yourself with a nice dinner, dancing, or a movie. Oh, and take a limo. you deserve it.

Teen Birthday Ideas

Kids party themes are pretty easy to come-up with. With all the cartoons, toys and movies geared towards kids, parents have a lot to choose from. And at a tender age, parents usually can come-up with a theme that THEY want to do and sell it to the impressionable little ones (we've all done it... don't feel guilty).

When the teen years hit, they start having a mind of their own. Shocking, I know. And they probably have a pretty clear idea of what is "cool" or "hip" or..well, what is the word of the season? Their idea of a good time may or may not get a thumbs up from dear ole (not old) mom and dad.

Here are a few ideas that might met to the approval of both the birthday boy or girl and mom and dad.

Hollywood: Rent a limousine and watch your favorite Hollywood flick while riding around. Request a red carpet and hire mobs of "fans" to greet guests at their destination.

Treasure Hunt: Rent a limousine and create a treasure hunt for guests to play. Write clues that lead players to important spots in the birthday teen's life.

Mystery: Rent a limousine to transport guests to secret locations. Let them solve a mystery along the way.

Our party planners are here to help! We have a huge list of available party packages that help to take the stress out of the party planning process!

New to Bellingham?

If you are new to our area, welcome! You have probably done your research and know all the great things about the area. It was probably all in the brochure you received. But I just want to tell you about a few things that I love about the area, besides the natural beauty and the wonderful people that make-up this community.

1. The food: Every area can boast about their food, but this area really has a lot of special foods and restaurants to offer. Our fresh salmon is amazing! When we say "fresh," we mean FRESH out of the Pacific. It can be found in markets, can be purchased directly from the fishermen who catch it and is served in many local restaurants. Other foods we can brag about are the chocolates, our beer, wine and of course, the coffee.

2. The community: And by community, I don't just mean the area that we live in, though that it is also amazing and noteworthy. By "community" I mean the people who live and work here. We really do care about each other. When one member of the community is in need, people here rally together to see that he feels loved and receives the help he needs. You'll find many generous people who give of their time, money and talent to care for others.

3. The weather: I know, I know... It rains here, but did you know that there are areas in Texas that receive more rain fall than we do every year? We just get ours in little sprinkles throughout the year, while they get heavy downpours less frequently. The sun WILL shine tomorrow and probably the next day too. But if you want snow, Mt. Baker is just a glance or a short drive away.

4. The music: No matter what style of music you're into, you're likely to find others who have the same taste. There are many opportunities for all flavors of music. The area is full of great concert venues including the world famous Mt. Baker Theater and Western Washington University.

5. The festivals: The people in this area know how to party all year round. There are festivals that happen year around that celebrate everything from the agriculture to the multi-culture.

If you need more reasons to love this area, just look outside. The reasons are all around us in the beautiful, lush forests, clear lakes and snow capped mountains. 

$50 Friday!

Make plans to celebrate in style! Safe, luxury transportation doesn't have to cost a lot. Call us for $50 Friday! 360-734-8889 or info@kings-coaches.com

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is not too far away! If you really want to impress your loved one this year, consider some of these fun ideas to help show you care.

1) Surprise your loved-one by picking him up in a stretch limousine for work. Or arrange to have a town ca pick him after a long day. Hide in the back of the limousine, or if you can't be together on the special day, have the back of the limousine filled with balloons.

2) Have a uniformed chauffeur deliver a dozen roses via a limousine.

3) Create a love-themed scavenger hunt. Write clues that will take your sweetie to the place you first met, the location of your first kiss or where you got engaged. Rent a limousine and have the chauffeur supply the clues to your loved-one as needed.

4) Out of town? Give your honey a gift card to her favorite restaurant, a spa treatment and a limousine rental. She will feel spoiled and loved even if you aren't there to share it with her.

5) Make a fancy picnic and take a limousine to your favorite outdoor spot to enjoy it.

6) Rent a limousine and bring your favorite movie, a blanket and a favorite beverage. Have the limousine driver park in a scenic location, watch the movie and snuggle.

7) Looking for a more traditional date? A nice dinner, roses and a good movie always make for a fun date. Add a limousine to the evening to make it more exciting.

8) Take the day off and go on a day trip via limousine. Visit a Seattle museum and have dinner in a little downtown eateries. You can also visit a tourist attraction, go to a concert or play.

9) Double Date! Want to share the cost of a limousine rental? Invite another couple along for the fun. Visit a favorite restaurant or go on a progressive dinner date.

10) Take a limousine to go dancing or to enjoy the night life. 

Prom!

You might think it's too early to start thinking about Prom, but the truth is... it's not! Many students start planning a year ahead of time. If you are planning on going to Prom this year, you should start deciding where you want to eat, what type of clothes you're going to wear, who you are going to go with and how you're going to get there.

Here are some ideas about how you can use a limo to make your prom night more memorable:
1) Ladies can take a limo to get their hair or nails done or to have a pre-prom spa treatment.
2) Gentleman can use a limo or town car to pick-up their tux or their flowers at the florist.
3) Of course, a limo is an awesome way to arrive at Prom.
4) Capture the moment by hiring a photographer to take photos of you and your friends in a limousine.
5) Use a limo to drive you and your friends home safely.
6) Talk with parents and then book a limo for an After party. The limo can drive you and your friends to breakfast in Seattle and then home nice and safe.

No Bummer January

January is kind of a bummer month. All the pretty lights and decorations from the holidays come down and the world suddenly looks blah and plain. The weather is usually cold and wet which doesn't do much to help those of us who get cabin fever during the month. And with no major gift-giving holidays during the month, there isn't much to look forward to.

So, let me present you with some ways to turn a not-so-fun month into a "No Bummer January."

1. Make-up your own holiday. Celebrate "Snowman Day" or "Chocolate Day" or just about anything that makes you smile, warms your heart or gives you reason to celebrate.

2. Make the most of your down time. Other seasons often inspire us to "go" places, but winter weather often inspires us to "stay." Snuggle with your loved-ones, read a book, start a fire in the fireplace, have a movie marathon or make a fancy dinner to eat at home.


3. Set goals and organize for the rest of the year. Use the quietness of the month to create a plan for the rest of the year. Update your calendar and address books, organize your gift closet and fill in with gifts you find on after Christmas sales and start planning your annual trips by looking online at hotels and attractions.


4. Clean your house. Though this is not a fun task, usually, the result can be very satisfying. Divide your clutter into piles labeled, "Keep," "Give-Away," and "Sell." Anything that doesn't fall into these categories should be thrown away.


5. Make personal connections with friends and make new ones. Take the time to write to those you didn't make contact with over the Christmas holiday and make an effort to be friendly during your daily activities. You might make some new friends.


Together.. we can make January fun! :)
