We had our Stag and Doe on Saturday night and had a blast... had about 130 people and took in $4588 that night. My mom had fronted us the money for the booze so when we paid her back we had a total profit of $3200 and have 5 of our full cases of beer to sell (so about $150 to add to that).

Our Barrel of Booze was a huge success and all funds raised through this were total profit as the bottles were all donated by bridal party, parents and siblings. Horse Races run by my brother were also a huge hit.... hint for anyone doing this... we had 6 horses racing and one horse always ran for the bride and groom, we even named the horses and our horse was named "Holy Matrimony!!"... out of 12 Horse races run ($5 a pop for each player) we won the entire pot for 4 of the races and my son ended up winning 3 of the other races)

We had Plinko running all night which was popular with the ladies... and the Draw prizes were also a big success. Pudding shots were popular... something different than your run of the mill jello shooters.

Glad it is done so I can put my energy back to the wedding.  

The whole thing exceeded my expectations... my Bridal party worked their butts off (most of them anyways) and it paid off for us.

I had much to drink and so my pics are of lots of sides of people's heads... if I get any good ones emailed to me I will post.

Marrying my love, on Sept 20/08... with our children at our side.

I do not have my recipe handy.. but I know that it will come up if you google it.

Basically we had chocolate pudding with baileys and butterscotch pudding with butterscotch schnapps... you mix it, freeze it to set and dollop whipped cream... they are soooo good!
