			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bridesmaids play an essential role in wedding traditions that span the globe and date back centuries. The bridesmaids are counted on to perform timeless duties, from warding off evil spirits to keeping the groom on his toes. Wedding traditions and beliefs may have changed over the years, but the significance of the bridesmaid remains the same - a symbol of trust, devotion and friendship. View our bridesmaids guide video (courtesy of the Dessy Group) for a fun, historical look at the role of bridesmaids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p class="western">Getting married is one of life’s most important moments, and it’s not always the easiest. The actual celebration usually costs tens of thousands dollars, and that’s actually one of the reasons that led to the creation of the tradition we now refer to as “bridal shower”. As the name suggests, this is a time where guests are expected to shower the bride with gifts that will help her in the newly wed lifestyle she’s about to embrace.</p>
<p class="western">One of the most important things in bridal showers is making sure the receiving couple gets things they’ll actually use. To this effect, it’s mandatory to ask the bride to come up with a wish list that will be distributed among the attendants. That’s something you should keep in mind if you want to make a decent bridal shower, but if you want to make something extraordinary, you really need to think out of the box: for example, you can choose an exotic venue (such as a cabaret or a swimming pool), or maybe arrange for a unique entertainment that will treat your guests with more than just another boring pre-wedding party.</p>
<p class="western">If you really want to make an original Bridal Shower, you should strive to keep your guests engaged with some kind of game or presentation… maybe even some karaoke? Also, one of the things about weddings is that so many people get depressed because they’re single; with that in mind, why not try to come up with some social games that will maybe encourage new couples to hook up? Spreading the love is arguably one of the best ways of expressing your own love! Remember that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.planaganza.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/love.jpg" rel="lightbox[229]"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-230" title="love is in the air!" src="http://www.planaganza.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/love-300x247.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="198" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.planaganza.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/love.jpg" rel="lightbox[229]"></a>Every day is a special day, when you get to share it with someone that you really like. But once every year, there’s a remarkably special day – that’s St. Valentine’s, the day when you’re expected to really make sure the person you love gets treated with a wonderful time. The best thing about this day is that both individuals are expected to work hard for mutual benefit, so that’s double the energy in making everything perfect!</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="western">In fact, it’s almost funny that some people are oftentimes eager to think of something that will surpass their other half in expressing their mutual affection. If you’re looking for ideas that will get you ahead in the game of love, maybe we can help! For example, some people apparently believe it’s all about spending lots of money; this is a most unfortunate misconception, since genuine affection can hardly ever be expressed with something as crude as a price tag. So, if you want to grace your loved one with a perfect Valentine’s day, you should really dig deep into what you know she or he likes, to find the right course of action.</p>
<p class="western">You do know about the legend behind St. Valentine, right? It’s all about a martyr priest who sacrificed himself for the sake of delivering romantic messages. Now, that’s the true essence of Valentine’s day: expressing your affections with full, unabashed clarity. And the best way to show someone you really care is <strong>sh</strong><strong>owing them you know who they are; their darkest fears as well as hopes and dreams</strong>. So to organize a perfect Valentine day, you just need to put your head and heart into it, and try to figure out what will really make your lover happy! And hopefully, no one is better qualified for figuring that out than you are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://planaganza.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hanukkah.jpg" rel="lightbox[185]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-187  aligncenter" title="hanukkah" src="http://planaganza.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hanukkah-300x206.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="124" /></a></p>
<p>The world is always a better place when different people learn how to get along. This is why I think globalization could be a great way of promoting mutual knowledge and understanding among cultures; and while I&#8217;m not about to encourage you to actually adopt holidays from cultures other than your own - it might be disrespectful for the original culture - I definitely think that you should use such holidays as a chance to learn something new about different kinds of people.</p>
<p>Unless you&#8217;re a Jewish, I think there&#8217;s a good chance you don&#8217;t really know much about Hanukkah, except perhaps some shallow glimpse you&#8217;ve captured from trivial conversations or even TV shows. With that in mind, I thought it would be appropriate to provide some insight on this Jewish holiday. For the outside viewer, this is easily recognized as the festival of lights because, well&#8230; there are a lot of lights involved in the celebration. Regardless, there&#8217;s much substance lurking behind this religious ritual which you probably don&#8217;t know about.</p>
<p>Most people seem to think of Hanukkah as the Jewish version of Christmas; truth of the matter is there is really no connection or comparison between both holidays. Even though Hanukkah is celebrated in the same time of the year, it commemorates the physical and spiritual triumph of the Jewish people, which secured their creeds and independence more than 2,000 years ago. The celebration of Hanukkah is thus a deeply spiritual event (which spans 8 days) aimed at providing homage to the wonderful workings of God.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://planaganza.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/christmas_family.jpg" rel="lightbox[174]"></a>Ahh&#8230; what can I say about Christmas. This is probably one of the most magical holidays in the world, and it&#8217;s definitely a universal season; no longer is Christmas just a Catholic celebration! For sometime now, this holiday has been adopted as a good chance to celebrate peace on earth, and good will among men&#8230;. Religious preference notwithstanding.</p>
<p>There are many people who oppose Christmas because they feel it&#8217;s an overtly consumerist season, where people put aside what really matters. Well, let me tell you something&#8230; you&#8217;re then one in charge, and YOU decide what really matters. If you think Christmas Spirits is all about kindness and compassion, there&#8217;s no one stopping you from doing just that, and living through the season the best way you can! Here&#8217;s a thought: This year, why not think about making something really special out of Christmas Eve?</p>
<p>I know this is supposed to be a family event, but why not thing about gathering more of your family than you usually do&#8230; like those cousins and uncles you&#8217;ve almost got out of touch with? In fact, why not consider inviting a homeless person or someone who you know will be alone to spend the evening with your family? The more the merrier, right? If you really think Christmas should be a chance to show the best of ourselves, this is your chance to prove it! Do something different and special that makes this Christmas one of the brightest ever! If nothing else, just write a lot of postcards to send ALL the people you like? Trust me, small gestures can make a world of difference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social holiday&#8230; or simply a good old day of rest? What comes to your mind? Most of us tend to use the time off from work to rest from our busy life, to read a book, or simply to watch that movie that we&#8217;ve been meaning to watch! Even though all these activities could bring some enrichment in personal terms, it will only get you dragged into a lonely existence! Besides, getting some time for yourself is great and all that&#8230; but we suppose you could come up with something more exciting (and social) for those upcoming holidays?</p>
<p>Oh, you lack ideas? I&#8217;ll just lay out the real master plan for your consideration: why not organize a solid group of friends and / or co-workers who might be interested in sharing a unique social holiday, and&#8230; rent an island to spend that once-in-a-lifetime vacation? You might think I&#8217;m joking, but <a href="http://www.privateislandsonline.com/islandsforrent.htm">Island renting</a> is a rapidly flourishing business which allows regular people to experience an outstanding luxurious setting for a very reasonable price. You might think renting an entire island would be inordinately expensive, but if you succeed in polling a solid group together, it may turn out quite cheap for everyone!</p>
<p>Okay, this might sound like something too &#8220;far out&#8221; for most people, but you should really look into island renting (or otherwise renting foreign villas) as a way to organize THE holiday social no one will ever forget about! Another option may be to rent a house in the montains and enjoy a weekend getaway! Otherwise you may just want to throw together a barbecue (if your in a warm weather locale)&#8230; sure, that&#8217;s fun and easy, and the time spent with your friends will be memorable!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there&#8217;s something I learned as a child that I am teaching my children, is to make the best out of the cards they&#8217;re dealt by life. If you get lemons don&#8217;t mope&#8230; make fresh lemonade! Now there&#8217;s the kind of positive reasoning I&#8217;m a big fan of! And when it comes to winter, the same principle could be applied: don&#8217;t just complain about the chilly weather, keep focused on the shiny ice!</p>
<p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-181 alignleft" title="ski_school" src="http://planaganza.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/ski_school-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>Sure, feeling cold is annoying, but that&#8217;s nothing you can&#8217;t get around with a simple heavy coat. Once you think about it, the cold is just a technicality, and there are many beautiful things that you can experience in the cold winter outings! Who doesn&#8217;t like watching the snow, or trying skiing or snowboarding? Which child has fully experienced childhood without making a snowman, getting into a snowball fight, making angels in the white show and feeling blushed from the cool ice? If you live in a place where there is no snow, you should serious think about getting a true winter outing, this year!</p>
<p>Sometimes, you&#8217;ll find resorts in the mountains not too far away from your city, where you&#8217;ll get to experience the best winter thrills with the least expense. There are winter resorts out there with ridiculously low fees, and sometimes it&#8217;s just a matter of shopping around until you find something that perfectly fits your budget. Think about this next time you find yourself complaining about the weather, and make sure to get yourself some icy lemonade!</p>

When you were younger, your birthday was probably one of your favorite days of the year. However&#8230; as you grew up, you probably started pretending that it wasn&#8217;t such a big deal: after all you&#8217;re now an adult, and you have more important things to keep in mind&#8230; right? Well, we think we&#8217;re wrong. Your anniversary is not just the day you add one digit to your age; it&#8217;s not just the closure of yet another trip around the sound; it&#8217;s the day when you owe it to yourself to get surrounded with all your loved ones, and celebrate life.</p>

And there never seems to be enough time to organize a perfect party, right?

Do you plan on getting a caterer and host the party in your home, or would you prefer renting an appropriate space to make it big? Maybe you&#8217;ll consider getting some life music to create a most pleasant party mood? Organizing a perfect party can be extremely time-consuming; well, fortunately you won&#8217;t have to worry with all the technicalities - provided you rely on the help of a professional event planner, that is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  So, you&#8217;re thinking on how to reward your employees after one of the most stressful years in recent memory, but you have a small budget, or lack ideas? First of all you should keep in mind that&#8217;s not really a problem: people expect from corporate holiday parties is just spending a good time far away from the pressure of the work place.  Most employees view corporate oliday parties as a way to improve personal bonds with co-workers, thus promoting a more relaxed - and productive working environment. Once you realize the global goal of the get together, the occasion is all about sharing experiences, thoughts, and socializing out of the office.</p>
<p>With that in mind you shouldn&#8217;t be concerned about renting an expensive place for the party&#8230; actually, if the weather is inviting, fresh-air activities are always one of the best choices that you can make. You can start by arranging collaborative activities that can stimulate the group, while encouraging people to communicate collectively. It&#8217;s always nice coming up with some fun activities or sports that will keep people entertained and promote a friendly environment. Such scenario will get people to speak freely even with their superiors.</p>
<p>Cutting the formalities right from the onset of the party will be a good way of promoting friendly interactions. Naturally, it&#8217;s always a good idea to get some snacks offer your guests, using the less formal attitude you can find, and why not give some symbolic awards (with no material relevance) to the top performing teams from the events you organized?   </p>
