How You Can Help the Children’s Wish Foundation

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Travelodge

On Friday, March 9, 2012, Travelodge Winnipeg East is celebrating our 15th annual Celebrity Lip Sync Media Fundraiser. All proceeds from this evening of food, laughter and fun are donated to the Children’s Wish Foundation. Proceeds are raised from the $40 ticket sales, as well as a rainbow auction and silent auction.

Since 1984, The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada has worked tirelessly to grant exceptional wishes to 18,000 children between the ages of three and 17 are diagnosed with a life threatening illness.  This year, the Foundation expects to grant over 1,000 new wishes and is proud to have never refused a wish to an eligible child, and with the help of volunteers and generous donors, is able to grant nearly three wishes every day.

Travelodge Winnipeg East holds our annual fundraiser for Children’s Wish, not only to raise money, but also to raise awareness to those who are qualified to receive a wish grant. Many children qualify for this program and simply do not know about it. Help make their wishes come true on March 9th at Travelodge Winnipeg East.

Selecting the Perfect Wedding Venue

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Travelodge

After that memorable night, when your husband- (or wife) to-be asked for your hand in marriage, the dust settles and you realize just how much planning you have ahead of you. One of the first decisions is choosing a date and venue. Everything else is centered around the wedding date and location. A few things to consider when selecting your wedding venue:

(1) Your budget

Staying within you budget for the venue is key, since you don’t want to use up the entire budget on your first decision. Travelodge Winnipeg’s catering and banquet manager can help determine what price point your food, beverage and venue will be.

(2) How many guests

The number of guests will go hand in hand with your budget. Knowing what you can afford and how many people you want will determine which venues work for you.

(3) Consider the peripherals

Parking and after-party responsibilities are important. If you are serving alcohol, having your wedding reception at a hotel is perfect for guests who have over-indulged. Ample parking is also important. A wedding with 100 guests will likely have 50 or more cars that need to park.

(4) Consider the benefits of venues that do it all.

A venue that has food, beverage, accommodations, music and fun may be just what the bride needs to enjoy herself. Don’t be boggled down with every decision, let your planner or event coordinator at the venue handle the problems as they arise.

As for the rest of the planning, our Catering and Banquets Manager can handle food, beverage and entertainment options.

Tips For a Perfect Valentine’s Day Dinner

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Travelodge

Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that should come with an instruction manual. After booking your romantic dinner for two at Marquee restaurant, next consider how you will go above and beyond to make your evening perfect. Luckily, Travelodge Winnipeg East has your complete meal (with dessert) and champagne taken care of. If you haven’t booked your suite yet, be sure to call as soon as possible.

For the card, gift and flowers, we’ve compiled a few tips to get you through the night.

1.  If you opt for flowers, always include a personalized touch. A handwritten note goes a long way in today’s busy world.

2.  Chivalry is not dead. A kiss on the hand, opening doors, and pulling out chairs will make your special someone feel extra special.

3.  Cell phones and televisions are a no-no. If you have children, be sure to give the babysitter the phone number to the restaurant, or, change your phone settings to only ring for those calling from your home number.

4.  Instead of coming home from work and opening the garage, try parking and walking to the doorstep. Ring the doorbell like you did before you lived together.

5.  Be mindful of the music selection in the car. And, again, remember to open the door for your special date.

6.  Compliments and timing are important. Think before you act.

7.  Eat your meal slowly. Enjoy each other’s company.

8.  Finally, No, no, NO talking about work or the children.
