My advise would be to select which pub works for both of you (I have heard good things about Ceili's, and the Unicorn, and a new one which I cant remember). Once you have decided on the pub, just get a bunch of people (kilted or not) and just show up for your first night. Pubs will very seldomly agree to throw anything in for your group unless you can guarantee some numbers. Once they see that you can bring in the people, they may do reservations for you, drink specials, bands, etc.

The Trap and Gill is a great pub, but is far from my first choice for the kiltsnights. They do nothing to promote the eveneing, and have never done anything to encourage us to continue with the kiltsnight at that location. Of course this is more management (who are too busy trying to decide which pair of cfm boots to wear that evenining to care about the clientel). This is no reflection of the staff, they are just awesome, and or waitress Lisa is likely the main reason we keep coming back.

Anyhow, good luck guys and be sure to start a Calgary Kilts Night thread so that you can keep us up to date.
