Hosting a Bunco Game Party

Summer has arrived and there’s no better way to celebrate than a game of Bunco while enjoying the warm weather . The game exploded among women in the United States with Bunco parties being held every day all over the county.. The dice game is usually played by mum’s looking to spend some time together and catching up with friends and family members. Kids, husbands, neighbors, friends who aren’t invited….almost everyone under the sun is discussed over a game of wine, cheese and dice. If you’re looking to host a Bunco party, here are ideas to help you.

Bunco nights are more popular for the camaraderie and friendship that’s fostered rather than the game itself. The general atmosphere is of fun and merry making. Hence make sure you assemble the right crowd for the party. Some parties have a theme weaved around them, with common themes like pajama parties, espresso parties etc.

The next thing is to get the Bunco supplies. There are several websites that sell Bunco themed stuff. From jewelry, to plates and napkin sets, wine glasses, game supplies like the wooden handle bells, dice, pencil sets, and score sheets. Don’t forget to keep a booklet of Bunco rules, handy for first timers.

As earlier said, the game’s just a ruse for women to kick some boots and have fun. Make sure the menu allows people to indulge in food. You can store up on those M&M’s, snack bars and Chex-Mix’s. Of course, each hostess can decide on the menu; it could be a cocktail and appetizer, a buffet, or an elaborate luau. And if the theme’s an espresso, don’t forget the decaffeinated coffee!

Some Bunco games are played for charity. You could arrange for the money to be donated to a charity like Bunco for Breast Cancer, or arrange for prize money to be paid to the bunco winners at the end. Simple and low cost prizes are also a viable option. Bunco game websites offer great Bunco prizes that are fun and affordable. Mardi Gras dice bead necklaces, wine bottle stoppers, wine glass charms, bunco winner medals, tote bags, wall clocks…the list is endless.

And now comes the important part; arranging for the game. You could either arrange for a single table or arrange for three tables that can accommodate 4 people each. A table placard on each table should be placed on the head table along with a bunco bell, dice, and score cards. You could either buy these separately, or purchase a Bunco kit that has everything including score sheets, tally pads, fuzzy die, 9 dice, and a bunco bell.

With the right crowd, the right theme, the right food and the right supplies, you’re sure to be the Bunco party queen.
