50/50 Draw, crown & anchor, blackjack, poker…………

Crazy Jokers: (Sell them at the door as people arrive)
52 Cards shuffled. Tape each card on bristol board face down. Guests purchase cards for $2 or $3 each. Write guests name with magic marker on back of card. When all cards are purchased you then turn each one over. The individuals possessing the Jokers win $20 each.

Toonie or Loonie Toss: (great game played throughout the evening)
There is a special prize of your choice placed on the floor. The choice of prize should be of decent value. Tape a line about 10 feet away from the prize, people toss toonies to try and get their toonie closest to the prize. The person with then toonie closest to the prize when the game is ended wins the prize.

Putting Game: (great game played throughout the evening)
Players pay $2.00 to purchase three golf balls, they must putt the balls on the green to try and score points, the person who scores the highest amount on each putt gets their name on the board and the person with the highest score at the end of the night wins a grand prize. People can play as many times as they like for $2.00 a round.

CROWN & ANCHOR:
You can rent this game at a local party store.

The Canadian Tire Money Guessing Game:
You must first accumulate a whole whack of Canadian Tire money...ask family and friend to chip in. Once you count up the total amount then you can prepare for this game. You make up a page with two columns. Column 1 has the person's name, column two has a suggested dollar amount for the contestant to wager their guess. You can charge $1 per guess or 7 for $5. At the end of the night the person who has written down their name beside the actual correct amount (or closest to) wins the Canadian Tire loot, must be at least $75.00 in Can Tire money

The $100 giveaway:
First your need a crisp $100 dollar bill. Display the bill in a plastic sheet on the table where you are selling the guesses. You must conceal the serial number of the bill by placing a strip of bristol board at the bottom to cover it up. You will have a an approx. 34 X 12 inch bristol board on the table with approx. 100 squares. In those squares are mock serial numbers of the $100 bill. Only one square has the real number. Each person who pays ($5) for a guess writes their name in the square. Announce the winner towards the end of the night

To Sing or Not to Sing
Place two jars with a high line on them on the drink counter. One jar will be labeled To sing and the other Not to Sing. The object for your guests is to fill the jar with change to the line. If the line is passed with the to sing then the Groom & Bride will have to sing, we can also use a hula hoop

Musical jello shot Chairs
This game is played with the help of shooters, usually Jell-O. The more entrants you have the more drinking the winner does. As musical chairs goes... you sit when the music stops, but , there are not enough chairs. The people that find a chair will get to drink a shooter until one person is left and they win a prize or get more shooters. The usual entrance fee for this is five bucks. You make the Jello shooters light so people don’t get too out of control

Pie Auction
This is a great way to raise money but the Bride & Groom need a really good sense of humour......you can also get the wedding party ot sit in as well. You need to purchase some tin trays and spray cans of whipped cream as well as some large garbage bags. The Auction is called by the DJ and introduced as follows. "Ladies and Gentlemen we are now going to commence with the pie auction. We know that many of you are here tonight and have not spent a cent because you were saving your money to buy the pie that will land in this future brides or Grooms face. The bidding will be simple and painless this evening, it will only cost you 2 dollars to hit the bride or groom with this pie, however it will depend on who has the 2 dollar bid when I say sold. The best man will stand here and collect the money as we bid". The bidding will proceed with one person bidding 2 dollars. The DJ will say "Jim has paid 2 dollars to buy the pie, he owns the pie for two bucks who wants to take it away from him for 2 dollars, going once..... going twice....Mary just paid 2 dollars and owns the pie". After some time passes with people donating 2 bucks someone will raise it to 5 or 10 ten dollars and so on until the DJ finally says sold.
