Extravagant Wedding Favors & Games

Are you wedding planning and looking for a little excitement to add to your wedding favors? If you have a little extra cash and you want to splurge in your wedding planning , why not incorporate a plan game into your wedding day theme and festivities. Well, not a game, but a raffle! That's right, a wedding favor raffle! Here's the gist of the wedding favor game:

Create a unique question. Perhaps "where did the bride and groom go on their first date?" Make everyone write their answer and name on a slip of paper as they come into the reception. You can have these small papers pre-typed with the question. You can leave a line for the answer and name from each guest.

Set up a little "wishing well" that will contain each slip of paper with each guest's guess.

It would be better to keep the members of the bridal party from participating in the raffle, as they would most likely know the specific details of the bride and groom's relations with one another.

It's important to choose an obscure question, but not something that's too obscure. You don't want to have forty incorrect answers read aloud.

Everyone should receive a small token of appreciation. In other words, provide wedding favors to everyone, but raffle off a larger gift to the guest who answered the question correctly.

The extravagant wedding favor could come in any form, such as : a gift certificate, a bottle of wine, an fine writing instrument, etc. Should you to choose to only include adults in the raffle, you should make a separate raffle for children to keep them in high spirits.

The announcement should be made after the toasts are announced. Give everyone a few spare moments to fill out a wedding favor raffle slip out, just in case they somehow missed the "wishing well" upon their arrival.

After everyone has filled out their slip, ask one of the members of your bridal party to stir their hand into the wishing well and pick a name. Some of the answers will be incorrect. If your guests have a sense of humor and have no idea what the correct answer is, they'll most likely write something humorous.

Hopefully, someone will have guessed the correct answer within the first five dips into the wedding favor raffle. Then you can present them with your extravagant wedding favor, whatever it may be.

If you have more than five children attending your wedding, you should also perform a similar raffle for them as well. Nevertheless, you should make it much simpler. "what color eyes does the bride have?" is an example of such a question.
