The Best Bachelorette Party Games Your Group Needs to Play

When your friend is getting married it’s always best to show her as good of a time as possible. Whether you’re the maid of honor, a bridesmaid, or even a friend along for the ride having some ideas for party games at the bachelorette party is essential. From groups that use a bachelorette party limo to groups staying in at a bridesmaid’s house there are games for every type of bride. A little planning can make having some simple games ready for those down moments in the party fun, not forced.

Get The Groom Involved

Get together with the groom ahead of time and come up with some sentences about the bride. They should be personal to him, such as “I love it when she ______ before we _____.” Set expectations with the groom based on who will be at the party, no “R” answers at a “PG” party! When there’s a short lull in the party, or while going from one destination to the next in the limo, pull out paper and pens for everyone. At the end you can give the winner a prize, or the loser may need to take a drink!

A Guessing Game Worth Playing

If you’ll spend a little time at a hotel room or in someone’s house at some point throughout the night then a lingerie guessing game is where it’s at. Have each person bring a gift of some type of lingerie. They should all be in some way personal to the relationship between the bride and the person providing it. The goal for the bride is to properly guess who gave her what. If she misses, she takes a shot. If she gets it right, the person giving it takes a shot.

Scavenger Hunts

If there’s been a shower that covered most of the game you can think of then step outside the room and come up with a scavenger hunt. Most showers are stationary, while bachelorette parties are often mobile, traveling around town in a limo! The scavenger hunt is easy to tailor to the bride’s personality and can range from G to X as is appropriate. As a bonus, some of the items could be the shots that would otherwise come from games!

Whatever games you decide to play, play it safe and hire a driver. Limo 805 has professional drivers ready to make your day in Los Angeles, CA special.

The Greatest Birthday Gifts For Your Best Friend this Year

There’s only one person who will hold your hair back while you puke your guts out, text you 15 minutes into that first date, pick you up from work when your parents got in an accident, and stand by you on your wedding day. Your best friend.

You may have known each other since second grade, or you may have shared an instant bond when you met at your last job. In either case, your best friend is there for you through thick and thin. They will take your side, even when it’s wrong. They will help pick up the pieces after everything falls apart. The question is, what will you do for them? What are the best birthday gifts to show your appreciation for the best friend in your life?

Go Personal

There is a long history of giving personalized gifts to important people. What helps your best friend remember a late night of drinking better than a mug matching the one used by the bar? That same mug with their name and a short saying from the night engraved on it. Just adding a name doesn’t mean much, a toaster with a name is still a toaster. Try to find a gift with meaning, a knife for a hunting friend or a compact for a clubbing friend, and get that engraved with both their name and a saying you share.

Practical is out, Meaningful is in

A new hair dryer might be on your friends list of needs, but it isn’t a great best friend gift. Find something that ties back to when you met. Even better, find something that commemorates your best times together. This is your best friend, not your brother.

Skip Stuff, Give Experiences

Ten years from now the phone case you found today won’t fit their phone. The shoes you picked out won’t be in style anymore, and the chocolate bar will be long gone. What does last is memories. Give a skydiving experience, a wine tour, or a night on the town. Get a birthday limo rental from a reputable company, such as Limo 805 in Los Angeles, and have a party night to remember.

Why The World Would End Without Airport Transportation

It’s a nice day. You’ve just finished your flight, picked up your luggage from the baggage claim and walked your way up and out to ground transportation. Now you’re on your way to your meeting in your LAX airport transportation in nice, air conditioned comfort. Your bags are taken care of. The traffic is taken care of. You don’t have to find the hotel you’re staying at. Everything is perfect.

But how would it be if we didn’t have LAX airport transportation?

I can see it now. You pick up your bag from baggage claim and schlep it over to the car rental counter. After you wait in line for 20 minutes, you find out that they don’t have the luxury size vehicle that they promised you – but they offer you a teeny tiny car you’ve never heard of. So you take it. You have to. The rental car agent is pretty insistent that’s the last vehicle left to rent at the LAX airport.

You drag your bag on to the bus – because the airport is so big they’d never be able to store all the cars there. Another 20 minutes later and you’re trying to cram your bag into the trunk of the sardine can you’ve rented. Then you pull out the best map the rental car agency has to offer. A black and white sheet with more streets and freeways than you can read. You need glasses to read it and you don’t even own glasses! You put the map away and decide to just use your phone instead. Isn’t that what Google Maps is for? Except it’s dead…

You can see where this is going. All the hassles and problems that you avoid when you order and arrange LAX airport transportation. There’s so much to NOT worry about. No driving, no traffic, no looking for luggage space where there isn’t any to be found. No getting lost or worrying about driving through a bad neighborhood. Take some stress out of your trip and reserve your luxury airport transportation in advance. You’ll thank yourself later. Give Limo 805 a call the next time you’re in need of LAX Airport Transportation!

Prom Etiquette – Who Pays for the Limo?

It’s  just about springtime! And you know what that means! It’s time to get ready and start planning for the biggest social event of the year – the PROM! You’ve got to find the perfect dress, the perfect dinner, the perfect flowers and the perfect accessories. But what about the perfect ride? Have you thought about getting a prom limo rental? What better way could there be than to arrive in style?

But in this crazy day and age, there’s a couple of questions. Who is the one to pay for the limo? Emily Post wasn’t around to ask so we took it to a few people to find out what they think:

“The person that does the asking is usually the one that pays for dinner, tickets to the dance and the limo. You each need to buy the other person flowers so that’s an expense for both people.” – Jen

“If you want to go as friends or as a big group of people, it’s fine to have everyone pitch in to pay for the limo and the activity. Sometimes you just want to go to the dance and not be left out. You don’t have to pay for everything.” – Abbie

“I don’t mind splitting some of the more expensive things like pictures or a limo. If we decide as a couple or as a group that it’s something we want to do, but not everyone can afford, we’ll pitch in and see what we can pay and then if it’s enough, we’ll do it.” – Marcie

“The guy is asking you to the dance, so he should pay for the prom limo.” – Kendra

“What if your school is girl’s choice? You can’t say that the guy has to ask and pay then. You can talk and see what you want to do and then make a decision together.” – Brooke

So you can see there’s a variety of answers out there but no one is disagreeing that renting a limo for the prom is one of the most styling, fun and exciting ways you can get there. Whether your going to Prom as a group – or spending the evening with your high school sweetheart we have the perfect ride for you!  Check out our fleet and message us for prices and book your Prom Limo from Limo 805 today!

The Best Wine Tours in LA for Couples this Valentine’s Day!

If you are looking for something that’s fun and memorable this Valentine’s Day, try something a little different. There are more wine tours in the Los Angeles area than you would think, if you just know where to look. The best part about these locations is that they are easy to get to and from because of their central locations.

Hidden Malibu Wine Country Tours takes you on a day trips to some of the most beautiful canyons and vineyards. With other 50 different independent vineyards, Hidden Malibu Wine Country Tours will show you beautiful wineries such as Rosenthal, Semler, and Cielo. Many trips also include a visit to Cornell Winery which is across from the famous Strauss Ranch. At the ranch you can taste and buy a good variety of Malibu wines, tour their art gallery or shop their antiques.

Spend some time over at the San Antonio Winery located in central Los Angeles. They combine food with tastings to give you a different approach. You browse the prepared food that they offer instead of looking at a printed menu and then order exactly what you’d like, made to order. They have a variety of wines that you can taste at no charge.

Another way to do the perfect wine tour is plan a special day yourself. Choose out a few of the wineries that are available in the area and then relax in your own rented limousine. Take all the stress out of the day with worrying how to get from place to place. This way you and your special someone can relax together and no one has to be left out as the designated driver. If you like a particular vintage, you can make sure that is a stop on your tour. By booking something yourself you ensure that you can go to where you want to go, when you want to go. There’s no waiting for the group at a historic look out spot. You won’t have to wait for a group photo or feel that you need to hurry because the group is already ready to go.

Make this Valentine’s Day memorable and book you and your sweetheart a limo for your next Wine Tour! Check out Limo 805’s fleet and contact us today to get your special day on the books!

Can I Bring My Child’s Car Seat on an Airport Shuttle?

Traveling can be one of the most rewarding and exciting things that you can do with your spare time and money. Learning about new cultures, visiting new places, and having new experiences are just a few of the exciting things that you can do when you travel. Traveling with kids is even better. You get to see the wonder on their face when they get to get on an airplane and see the clouds for the first time. Even going through security can be an interesting new experience for them. And stressful for you. Not only do you have to worry about yourself but now you have a little one to keep track of – not including all their toys, bags, strollers and car seats.

A common question when looking at LAX airport transportation and ground transportation in general is: Can I bring my child’s car seat on the shuttle? The answer is a definite yes! You can always bring it with you. In fact, your child’s car seat counts as a safety item (along with their stroller) which can be checked for free at most airlines (always check with yours in advance, just in case).

If you are concerned about their safety on the plane and they have their own seat, you can install the car seat directly on the airplane seat. Many parents don’t feel the need to do this and it’s not required. It’s up to the parent to make the determination if that is something they would like to do. If you are traveling and renting a car, you’ll need to make arrangements to reserve a child’s car seat as well from the rental agency. Most states have certain laws and requirements that come into play with a child’s car seat. You can always check the state you are visiting in advance. Most people prefer to bring their own seat from home. It alleviates an extra expense for the trip and ensures that your child will have something that they are comfortable to sit in. The nice thing about bringing your own seat is that you know what to expect. If you don’t want to bother with an airport shuttle, consider hiring a limo or driver to transport you from the airport.

Limo 805 offers LAX airport transportation in style! We have professional drivers who will make it their priority to get you there on-time and in style! Contact us here or call us today to book your next Los Angeles LAX Airport ride!

5 Easy Tips to Make your Wedding Day Stress Free

It’s coming up! Your wedding day is almost here! But what can you do to make it as perfect as possible. First you’ll have to show up! Here’s a few tips on what you can do (in advance) to have a perfect day.

#1 First you’ll want to control every possible detail. Turn off the rain, turn on the sun and make sure that little flower girl doesn’t suddenly get stage fright. Sound realistic? It’s probably not. You really can’t control everything, and that’s okay. But you can do your best to prepare in advance.

#2 Take the time to hire the right staff for your event. What? You’re not planning to do hire anyone? Even if you take the time to plan all the details for the wedding yourself, you’re going to need some additional help to get things done. You can’t set up, pick up the food from the caterer, pick up the flowers, take selfies, set up tables and chairs, serve cake in your wedding dress – oops – we forget to mention get ready, get married and enjoy the day. You need to delegate at least the biggest stuff to someone else, and it really should be your close friends or family. You want them to be able to enjoy the day with you don’t you? If you don’t want or can’t afford full time help, you can look for someone to help with the day of. These planners are available for a reasonable fee and have the experience for your day-of help that you need.

#3 Take transportation off your list. There’s nothing more glamorous then being picked up in a limo on your wedding day. You’ll feel so special when you arrive at the salon to get your hair done, the church or wedding venue. Not to mention the great photos when you leave the reception with your new spouse on your way to your honeymoon. You won’t have to worry about parking, traffic, speeding or having room for all those extra items that a wedding involves.

#4 Keep your schedule light the day of the wedding. If you are having your hair colored, do it the week before. Take the time to actually enjoy the day. If you are rushing around from place to place, the day will be over and you won’t have been able to enjoy it as fully.

#5 Take some time alone with your new spouse after the wedding at the reception. Even five or ten minutes alone together will help you enjoy the day and create some incredible memories for years to come.

Let us help you make your day special! Call or contact Limo 805 today to book your wedding transportation needs in the Los Angeles area!
