Sudoku Key Chains for Bunco Prizes

Were you a child of the 80s? OK, don’t admit because you don’t want to give away your age. So, do you love to play Sudoku? How about playing Sudoku on a device that used to be popular in the not so distant past? (How was that to not make you feel old?) Sudoku is now available in the form like what a Rubick’s Cube used to be played. Give the Sudoku Key Chains for bunco prizes at your next party!

Each side of this Sudoku key chain puzzle is a different color. It is played like a regular Sudoku game where the numbers 1 – 9 are used one in each line vertically and horizontally, in each square of the block. Sound complicated? It’s not, really. As long as you can count to nine, you can play this fun puzzle game. Plus, think of the exercise it gives your brain to keep it healthy!

This Sudoku Puzzle Cube Key Chain is convenient because you can play it anywhere you find yourself waiting – at school, after football practice, during a scout meeting, during swimming practice or whenever you wait. Even the grocery store checkout line won’t be a big deal when you can keep yourself occupied!

To play, simply twist the cube all around and mix up the colors. Figure out a way to get all of the numbers back where they are supposed to be, without duplicating a number on a side. Make it more challenging and give yourself a time limit!

You can also use the Sudoku Puzzle Cube Key Chain as a bunco prizes favor for everyone and give your guests a break between your bunko night rounds to challenge their skill. Time the gals and see who is the fastest. Make it a race between each table during a break in the rounds. What table wins? What person can be the Sudoku champion AND win all the Bunco prizes?

Rubber Soft Flashing Dice

Bunko night is coming around and you are just plain out of ideas to make it a fun night. Sure, you have a theme with the coordinating paper products, but it just lacks the pizzazz you were hoping to pull off for the girls. So, there must be some kind of way you can light up the night and make them remember it…right? Tada, it’s the soft flashing dice!

There sure is. How about some Soft Flashing Rubber Dice! These dice are colorful, fun, spectacularly different and will light up the night. The Soft Flashing Rubber Dice are 1 ½ inches in size and come in a variety of colors, such as red, orange, blue and green. The pips are another bright color and make the dice even more fun to look at. Oh, did I mention they light up?

Inside each dice is an LED light that flashes once the dice has squeezed. The blinking will stop automatically after a short time. Now, since there are lights in each dice, you can really liven up bunko night!

Keep the lights turned off and roll in the dark! How fun and different would that be? Just purchase enough of the Soft Flashing Rubber Dice so there is enough for each table and waa la! You have a fun night, sure to be talked about for months to come.

Now, if you don’t want to play in the dark, you could always use the rubber soft flashing dice as a decoration on the food or drink table. They can also keep the bathroom spiffy for the girls. And if you even felt like parting with them, they could be a take home keepsake at the end of the night. But don’t count on it, they’re too cute.

Bunko Trophy Necklace

How about a prize for the “winner” that that looks a little…gangsta! Mix up your themes a little bit and make it a Bling Night when bunco night rolls around next month. The Bunko Trophy Necklace.

The best way to give yourself or the girls some great bling is by buying…a Bunko Trophy Necklace for everything. And here you thought I was going to suggest diamonds…since they are a girl’s best friend you know! Wrong!

The Bunko Trophy Necklace is a fun way to bling out the night with some gold. The strands of the necklace are gold beads which are 32 inches in length. A 2 inch miniature trophy hangs as a medallion would from the strand. You could like a member of the posse or part of the rapper’s groupies with this much gold around your neck!

Of course, with every outrageous trinket, you can make them available to all your gals on bunco night or you can reserve the Trophy Necklace as the booby prize. Would any of your gals wear this willingly? Get it for all of them then if they wouldn’t. Would they all wear it no problem – then only get one and make it the top prize of the night. No matter what you think the gals will do, come up with an opposite plan to make the night more exciting.

The Bunko Trophy Necklace could also be an addition to your decorations for a bunco theme night such as the Breeder’s Cup, The Kentucky Derby, The Stanley Cup or any other event night where a trophy looking like a cup is given out. Be creative. Make it a trophy wife night! You’re all worth trophies on bunco night!

Funny Bunco Invitation

A Funny Bunco Invitation!

It’s that time again. You know the drill. Bring an appetizer if you like. Wear your most casual attire, including, but not limited to, sweats, jammies, slippers … whatever.

$10 seems to be the standard Bunco pot … so we will roll with that. Also, bring as much scratch as you want to loose for LRC @ $3/round.

There will be beer, cheap wine, vodka and whatever else is on site that day. I can do Cosmos again, but I am not responsible for hangovers, sharts, or amnesia.

We might have a 9-year old “ghost player” since my husband decided to split town during Bunco week. Rest assured I will make his life a living-hell for the inconvenience. Nobody f’s with Bunco night!

Cindy….I believe you have the Bunco “bag”. Some impaired person left it in your car last month….imagine that.

See you girls next week.

Terrie

Now, that’s a funny bunco invitation!

Tips for Food, Beer & Wine at Your Next Bunco Party

That’s the Spirit – Choosing Beer, Wine and Cocktails for your next bunco party!

To help you plan your next party, here are some tips and guidelines for what to serve, how much to spend, and just how much wine your friends will drink at your next bunco party.

versatile choice that will serve an elegant soiree, corporate function, or intimate dinner with equal aplomb.
To help you plan your next bunco party, here are some tips and guidelines for what to serve, how much to spend, and just how much wine your friends will drink.
How much do I need?
As a general rule, you will get six 4-ounce glasses from a 750ml bottle of wine. The average guest at a stand-up party will drink two glasses of wine an hour. With these numbers in mind, the math is easy. If you have 15 guests at a cocktail party, they’ll go through 30 glasses, or five bottles of wine per hour. This means you’ll need about a bottle per person for a typical three-hour party. At a dinner, the average is half a bottle per person, so a group of six will drink three bottles. Try opening a different wine for each course, or have white wine when your guests arrive and serve two bottles of red with dinner. For any party, it’s a good idea to have an extra bottle or two on hand – wine goes fast when shared amongst good friends.
How much should I spend?
First off, set a wine budget. Since you already know how many bottles you need, a budget will help guide you to an appropriate price point.
For a small dinner party, especially one where wine will be the star, it’s always nice to splurge on a few good bottles. Indulge your friends (and yourself, of course) with a special vintage or a limited production, small-lot wine. Or, choose a less expensive wine to start and serve a pricier selection with dinner, where it will complement the meal.
A bigger bash needs a crowd pleaser, something that’s easy to drink, like Merlot. Also, consider what’s trendy: Right now, Shiraz is big and Chardonnay is enjoying a renaissance, so these will probably be good choices. For convenience, you may want to buy wine by the magnum (that is, a size equivalent to two 750ml bottles) so you won’t need to crack open a new bottle every twenty minutes.
Serving suggestions
When hosting a large group, create a wine bar so guests can serve themselves. Before everyone arrives, place several bottles on a small table, along with a corkscrew, a towel (for spills), the glasses, and maybe some wine charms. Open a few bottles to get things started, and your guests will take care of things from there. Plan on having 1 1/2 glasses per person. Consider renting the necessary stemware so no one’s drinking wine from a coffee mug. For a dinner party, set up a table, similar to the one above, in the dining room. Serve guests their first glass of wine on arrival and then place open bottles on the table, where they can be easily accessed during the meal.
Of course the most important consideration is the comfort and pleasure of your guests. Don’t fret over a specific vintage or just the right varietal.
