Today is her night. She glances around at the green plates, cut fully out shamrocks hanging from light fittings, the green beer facing her, and the coveted Pot O’ Gold on the corner shelf. Their contents a secret until the champion of the night time is unveiled.

Discovering 11 friends who are reliable (will appear or find an alternate player), and who’ll just take their turn hosting a party is a bit more difficult.

This will give each of you a date each month to prevent booking other activities, and a date to look forward to as you count down to fun!Plan Upcoming PartiesIf you’re really structured, together you can prepare the upcoming year’s events and styles.

If you are not that organized, decide on the next 3-4 gatherings and give yourselves time to brainstorm for the rest of the schedule year’s activities. Make sure everyone gets a printed out list of bunco principles, and also make sure someone is gathering and piecing together a list of addresses/email addresses/phone variety of the party to be given out later.Now that ‘business’ is over, treat your friends to a great night of bunco, and send them home with smiles, prizes, and brains scrambling to think of the things they are planning to do to make their host-night ‘the top girls night ever.’Next newsletter: Part 2 of ‘Bunco Babes Just Want to Have Fun,’ including getting your bunco box ready, menu and prize ideas, and a whole lot more!
