What made the most money for your stag and doe?  Aside from the ticket sales and drink tickets?  50/50, raffle, door prize.  What was your door prize?

What games did you see at a stag and doe or at yours that people had the most fun?

We were thinking:

Blackjack

Crown and Anchor

Plinko

Hockey shoot out

Mini Putt

Instead of jello shots in cups, my FI had the idea of cutting an orange in half and taking out the orange and filling it with jello, letting it set and cutting it in fours.  I guess a friend did this and it was a hit.  We were also thinking of pudding shots as a special treat through out the night.

Any other ideas?

We had 2 big prizes which were a hit, a CBC hockey night in canada jersey and an Ipod Nano. We did jello and pudding shooters and the pudding sold out in an hour. Make lots of pudding!!!!

We sold over 200 tickets, and had at least 140-170 ppl at our event at all times.  50 50 draw in my experience does not make much.  we made alot of money from selling the alcohol.  we brought it in ourselves so we made money off of it.  We also had GREAT prizes.  we had alot of camping equipment, a barbeque, etc.  most of our items excluding the barbecue and tent were set up on a penny sale table.  this went over well as even men bought tickets due to the prizes.

the most fun game we had was nailing a nail into  a log.  while the girls were dancing the men spent hours trying to out-nail each other.  there was also a log set up for the women that went over well. 

another game we had was we sold a baloon to everyone and played some kind of stomping on the baloon game at the end of the night. 

we made aprox 120 jello shooters and sold them for one dollar therefore we made 120 off of those.

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

hmm someone on this board meantioned drunken gummy bears in shooter cups!! I used them at my buds stag and doe on may6th and they were a hit. You pretty much put gummy bears in a cup pour in vodka or rum and let soak until the little guys are nice and fat..then put into shooter cups..you don't want them to sit more than..3 hrs they like to stick to the bottom..but popular not many people have seen them we could have easily sold double what we did!!

We made all our money on tickets, and what we called the "door package". This was raffle tickets, drink tickets, guessing game ticket ect.. all for one price.  The "package" sold well! Plus we sold over 400 door tickets!
