One of our friends made the thing for the fish races. I believe it was heavy plastic tubing (from a builder store) He also made a wooden board to block the fish at the start line. You do lose a lot of fish in this game - they go belly up pretty quickly!!:D

As long as you are willing to get a little dirty then I suggest pie in the face. It worked really well for us ... raised over a few 100 dollars from that one game alone. It's very easy to do which is a bonus. Just have two containers and who ever has the most money in the end gets a pie in the face. Very simple but really fun. Here are some pics from our stag & doe.

We both got a pie in the face because my FMIL and SIL planned it and thought that it would be funnier that way. We both knew before hand that at least one of us would get a pie so we brought face wash, etc to clean afterwards. In the end it went over really well.

Wall paper trays. .. hmmm I think I will look into that...

I suppose you could have 5 or 6 of them side by side and number them and the first one to reach the other side wins.. Good idea!

[quote][b]jbuckle (4/6/2006)[/b][hr]Toonie toss rakes in a lot of cash. Buy a big bottle - everyone rolls/slides/throws toonies at it ( one a a time - leaving the closest toonie each time and sweeping away the not close one) The closest to the bottle wins the bottle and you win the cash.

We've had trike races, fish races, drop the coin in the shot glass ( a jar filled with water if it falls in the shot glass they win a free drink) Guess the jellybeans, Joker Poker ( put 52 cards face down - people buy a card at 2 bucks each whomever wins the joker wins a bottle or cash or something)

A big money maker is "Hammer Time' You get a big tree stump a hammer and super long nails. Whomever hits the nail down with the least number of hits wins ( EVERY little tap counts even to readjust) Guys get super competitive for this one and keep playing to win. One guy spent about 80 bucks to win. Keep track of their name and number of hits on a big chart so people will keep playing. Bring safety glasses and keep the stump on the floor (too easy if it's on a table or something).

I can give more deets if you need them.[/quote

I have a question... We want to do a gold fish race.. but we are having a hard time figuring out what to do it in. I have been racking my brain trying to think of a way to do it and can't come up with anything.. HELP!!!

Our biggest money makers were raffles, jello shots, and the who gets the pie in the face jar game. We both ended up with a pie but our friends obviously don't like us because we made $500 on that!

gee how sad that no one in your wedding party offered to help.

Its nice that your FH's employer did. I would suggest maybe some raffles but for games, it depends on what you like and how much space you have. I'll have to think on this one a bit more ....

we are in the mist of planning our jack and jill. We are having all kinds of games.. Blackjack, crown and anchor, poker, 2 toonie games and the joker game. We are doing several raffles.. raffling off a texas mickey,50/50 aswell as different baskets. I don't know if you planning a stag and doe similar to ours(raise money for the wedding) or if your just combining your bachlorette and bachlor party. Let me know and I can give you more details about what kinds of games work well.

P.S sorry if I sound crazy... I am very tired!!!

So we are in the process of planning a last minute stag, none of the wedding party volunteered to do it so we werent having one but then the bar that fh bounces at offered to host it for us.

So my question to you is what are the most popular games that you had or have been to?

I have a list of games but I don't want to have too many and I don't want to have nto enough.

Thanks!
