Out stag and doe is next friday! But i am starting to worry now it seems like everyone who bought a ticket it prepared to come and I just dont think i have enough room for everybody. I dont think i have enough games either. We have musical chairs, fish races, pie in the face and the other usaual things. but i dont really have much else and i dont know at what time i should do thing because i have been told that i should have a time table and stick very close to it so i dont have very many problems? I am unsure!

Any help?

Married and loving it!

Well you get something long and fill it with water (i am using wallpaper containors) and you buy some feeder fish real cheap. The you let people buy the fish to race and whoever gets to the end wins a prize!

Well another thing that is really popular at some of the ones I have been to is golf, you rig up some sort of (difficult) putting game , and the person to get hole in one, or fewest puts to whole, wins prize.  You can probably fix up something really inexpensive with cardboard and charge like a buck or 2 to play.

the nail in the log is good even if it is over done.  it draws a huge amount of men who stand around drinking beer and proving their manliness. those same men may get bored and leave otherwise.  Do you have enough prizes?  the key is not to worry about how many games.  people only come with so much money and only spend that amount.  fewer games with more prizes works better than lots of games and few prizes.  we had really good prizes, a really good dj and made money off of the bar as well.  try to make sure a good amount of people are there EARLY. if not, when people drizle in it may look boring and they will drizzle back out.  we had over 80 people at ours by 815 at night. the place looked busy just after we started and noone left once they got there.  we made quite alot of money.

those who throw objects at crocodiles will be asked to retrieve them

lol I keep thinking we're going to have the opposite problem... bigger room and not a lot of folks there. Having nightmares about it (shock and surprise). It's in Brampton which is so far for my family and friends but really close for FH's so we're counting on them. Since I don't know all of them really well not sure what to think... *sigh*
