Special occasions can occur at any time of the year. They are not just reserved for events such as Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or New Year’s Eve. You might be celebrating a birthday, wedding anniversary, an engagement, a new job promotion. In fact, you may not even need a reason to celebrate and have a good time with family or friends.
No matter what your special occasion or reason to celebrate is, here are some cool ideas you can keep in mind when planning what to do.
How About Getting Away for the Weekend?
Having a weekend getaway is the perfect way for couples to celebrate an anniversary or some other significant date. There’s nothing quite like a change of routine and scenery to add a bit more spark to the relationship. Booking in at a mountain hideaway can make for a very romantic and chilled weekend, or even somewhere close to the beach, such as a resort, where you can swim, relax and wine and dine under the stars.
Of course, a weekend getaway is not restricted to lovers alone. You could do something different for your birthday, for example, and take a short trip somewhere with your family or friends. The options for weekend getaways are limited only by your imagination.
The Backyard Barbecue
You can never go wrong with the good old Aussie backyard barbecue to celebrate a special occasion, event or milestone. With the weather in most parts of the country being mild to warm for most of the year, hosting a barbecue is a good idea during any month, day or night. You can organise one at your own place or even someone else’s home. If you host the barbecue at a house that has a swimming pool, this is even better during those warmer months.
Often, celebrating at home can be a lot more relaxing for everyone concerned. If it’s a nighttime event, you can even enhance the mood and atmosphere by stringing up some coloured lighting and a few decorations to liven things up.
A backyard barbecue is a great idea no matter what you’re celebrating.
Party the Night Away On a Dinner Cruise
If you’re in Sydney, you could embark on any number of different Sydney Harbour dinner cruises, or even a cruise that ventures along the Parramatta River. But even if you’re not in Sydney, many locations throughout the country have waterways and dinner cruises that you can book.
Dinner cruises are something a little different. You get to enjoy a fine meal, your favourite alcoholic beverages and live entertainment, all while out on the water cruising beneath the stars. It’s relaxing, it’s ambient and it’s different. A dinner cruise or party cruise is the perfect way to get together with your friends and have a great night out.
Celebrate At Dooleys Lidcombe Catholic Club
If you live in the Sydney area, or especially the Western Suburbs of Sydney, there’s no better venue to celebrate a special occasion than at Dooleys Lidcombe Club.
Dooleys Club offers you everything you could possibly need to celebrate a special event with family and friends. There are restaurants selling exquisite cuisine for fair prices, bars offering all your favourite drinks, including cocktails and mocktails, live entertainment, raffles and prizes and so much more. Dooleys is even a family-friendly club, so the little ones don’t have to miss out on the celebrations.
A social and entertainment club like Dooleys Lidcombe also opens the door to other fun social clubs you can become a part of, such as travel clubs and clubs catering to other activities and interests.
Cricket In the Park
Just about every area in this great country will have a local park where you can all get together and have fun playing a friendly game of cricket. People of all ages can get involved in one of Australia’s most loved sports.
If there are barbecue facilities, you can cook up a storm and chill out with a cold beverage after eating before getting back into the action. If barbecues are not available, organise a picnic lunch.
