Stag and Doe Games

There are a lot of traditional Jack and Jill games that you can play and also make sure that the party is earning some money for the wedding. Below are a few stag and doe games to start you thinking and make sure your party goes with a bang.

Pie in the face

The Pie in the face. This is a great game for any extroverts with a competitive streak. You have 2 people go around at one point in time of the night with two baskets. You ask them to put some money in either of the baskets - one is for the groom and one is for the bride. The person who raises the most money (the groom or the bride) get's to hurl a pie in the face of the other! They can get very persuasive and it is good hearted fun.

Crazy Jokers:

As people arrive just sell them the chance to write their name on a playing card. 52 Cards (a normal deck) is shuffled. Tape each card on a table or board face down. Guests purchase cards for $2 or $3 each. Then have the guests Write their name with magic marker on the back of a card. When all cards are purchased you then turn each one over. The individuals possessing the Jokers win a $ amount higher than they paid to bid on that card.

The cents filled jar!

Get a large jar and fill it full of cents, you can even go around and have people donate their cents, you can even ask them to offer their cents on the door (great way of earning extra cash it all helps) but make sure you have a big jar already close to full of cents. You need at least $75 of cents in the jar to make it worth a guess. The guest pays a $ to guess the amount of cents in the jar (so go for an odd number!) - The person closest to the actual amount wins the jar or a prize of your choosing.

Musical chairs with shots!

The usual game of musical chairs, the difference being when the chair is won, the sitter gets to drink a shot as well! You can do jello shots to keep the alcohol levels down and keep the costs down as well. The participants usually pay $5 to enter the game and you can play this several times in the night.

Bug Insurance

When your guests arrive, you ask them if they would like to buy insurance. You can charge $2.00 per person. If they win a prize, before they get it they have to eat something - we call it a bug but it can be anything with an unpleasant taste. If they have insurance, they will have been given a sticker at the door and they get their prize! No insurance they have to do the forfeit first or buy emergency insurance at double the door rate! This can make some money as a doe game as the ladies tend to favour not eating anything to unpleasant and who can blame them?

Go To Jail Game

This is a fun game for all your guests. You need an area secured off, get creative but it should be visible but away from the action. Aim to be able to fit about 6 to 8 people inside. For $5.00 you can send anyone to jail. Once in Jail you cannot Drink / Talk / or Text Message, and you half to stay in there for 15 min. To keep your guests preoccupied in jail you can buy stuff for your guest to put in the Jail cell, to keep them entertained, such as, blow up animals, hats, fancy dress, basically whatever you want. Now if you want to get out of jail early, you half to pay another $5.00. Lots of fun and makes great pictures for later. This can be a surprisingly effective fund raiser as people start taking revenge on one another.
