Stag and Doe GAMES ... HELP

[Lunker777]

So Im the best man in a wedding this fall. My best friend of 22yrs is getting hitched.

 

We are getting together tonight to plan the stag and doe and I was wondering if anyone had any cool game ideas ?

 

Everyone has the same stuff around here... hammer the nail in a block of wood, toonie toss, raffle, etc.

 

Im looking for some un-ordinary games that would be cool to have

 

Or any ideas for a stag and doe in general.

 

Thanks for any tips

They do minnow races up here. 6 or 8 pvc troughs and a starting gate which holds back the minnows before the race starts. Lift the gate and whoever picks the minnow that makes it to the far end of the trough first wins. Lots of laughs, great fun and a good moneymaker.

I've done this one at several stag and doe's and it has generated alot of money....

 

Set up a jail area (rope off a corner of the room).

 

Anyone can send anyone to jail for a cost of $2 and while they are in there, they cannot drink or do anything. From here, set bail at $2 for someone not in jail, or $4 for the person in jail, meaning that anyone outside the jail can bail someone in jail out for $2, or the person in jail can pay for themselves to get out at a cost of $4.

 

Get the DJ involved because he/she will announce the name of who must report to jail. Also, make the biggest human being you can find the person who must escort the people to jail. Throw in some handcuffs and a fake cop, and you can have yourself some fun.

 

People have fun with this, at least in my experience. Even if 30 people end up in jail, at minimum that generates $120 of cash for the couple to be.

 

Goodluck

they cannot drink

 

Now I got a problem with that rule.LOL

 

Dan,thats too funny.

Also, along the minnow/worm/fishing type plot line, you can buy a box of worms or some minnows, have them at the front, and sell "insurance". What the insurance gets you (sell for say $2) at the door is insurance from having to "eat" the worm/minnow if your name is drawn sometime during the night. You will find that for the $2 at the door, almost everyone will buy the insurance. Make some cards, if someone buys insurance they keep half the card, you keep half the card as proof later in the night that they have the insurance. People don't like the idea of having to eat the worm/minnow.

 

Of course, you wouldn't actually force someone to eat a worm/minnow (or maybe you would), but you can do one of the following options:

 

1. Buy a gummie worm/candy fish and make them eat that

2. The person who gets drawn (if they don't have the insurance), can opt to pay $5 or $10 to not eat the worm/minnow

 

 

Its a sick game, but I've seen it work well also.

Dan,thats too funny.

 

You can ammend the rule and say "no new beer" but believe me, people will bail themselves out if they feel they won't be able to drink the rest of the night. I was skeptical at first too about the not drinking thing, but it didn't have an impact - especially if you have to buy tickets at the door rather than pay the bartender the cash.

I find a stripper is great fun and when it's stag and doe...ah never mind it would just get deleted and the thread locked..LOL

Crown and anchor always cleans out my account

Combination poker run/casting game using ice rods, small rubber sinkers & one gallon buckets (or other) at 15 to 20 feet. One handed Cast into the bucket (no bouncing off the floor etc) successfully gets to draw.

Miss, no card.

Five Bucks to enter or Buck per cast, 2 or 3 for a buck, or buck per card won, your choice of how to charge.

When 5 cards won/drawn per player, they can wait for the round to end or buy in for another hand BUT no switching cards between hands (keep it a natural draw)

best hand wins...50% of pot?

Options - make players use their opposite hand, stand sideways, put a lid with a hole in it on the pail, etc. etc. to increase the challenge

Oh - only underhand casts - don't want to take out any lights or windows!

Variation - think beer pong!

 

Good Luck!

A day in the life of_________

 

Depending on the venue, outside is preferred for clean up, you auction of items for what the groom to be might do/have in a day. For example, "Bob" starts his day with a shower - you auction off a pail/bucket of ice water and the winning bidder gets to dump the ice water on the groom. Next would be breakfast and you would have coffee grounds, maybe pancake mix, maple syrup, orange juice, eggs - all as separate auction items. Be creative with their favourite foods for all the meals. Whatever activities they like to do, make that apart of it. Ie. Likes to fish, needs bait, auction off a can of sardines to be dumped on them. The people doing the dumping will be creative as to how and where they dump, rub and pour the items on the groom.

 

Tons of laughs and lots of money will be generated from this. Just keep a garden hose ready for the clean up or lots of tarps if doing it indoors and close to the shower. One stag we did this at raised over $1000 on this auction alone.

sticky dart poker.... A deck of cards is spread out and taped to a chunk of plywood and you use a sticky nerf gun to shoot your 5 cards.

[Rod Caster]

Crown and anchor and cheaptackles casting competition would be great.

Also try a hockey aim game. $2 for 5 shots. Set up a net with targets, each target worth a certain amount of points. The person with most points at the end of night gets the prize (a nice jersey or somethin). The competitive people will get suckered out of a lot of money haha I know I do

Goldfish insurance ($5) ... if you dont have insurance and your name gets called you gotta swallow a live goldfish

This is actually really fun.

$5/ entry - winner splits pot with te stag an Doe

 

Especially when the crowd starts side bets and the trash talking comes in.

 

We let the kids take the gold fish home afterwards

Also - have you seen the movie "Just Go With It"? There's a scene where Jenifer Aniston and Nicole Kidmans characters start battling each other.

 

Anyways, the tie-breaker was a couples game where the coupe had to move a coconut from the floor up to their lips without using their hands.

 

I would suggest using a balloon instead of a coconut though

I own a business that rents out stag and doe games. Whether you book with us or not, our website has some great tips for how to run games. Any questions let me know. www.jackofallspades.ca

toonie toss....put a 60oz bottle of booze on the dance floor around 1am, have them stand back about 30-40ft or fairly far back, and toss toonies at it, closest wins it.....

 

arms length of raffle tickets and the wedding party and family donates gifts to raffle off(20$ and maybe one or two better gift), get an arm lengths of 5 bucks or so.....put boxes in from of the prize(label the box for the prize) give them one side of the tickets into the box if you have matching sets, or have them tear it in half if you have single set of tickets and put in half

 

jello shooters or worm jelly shooters(not sure how they're made(saturated in booze??) but sweet to slurp down)1$ per shot

[DanD]

Yea the jello shooters are usually a big hit with the woman; we used those small paper cups, like what you see at Mickey D’s for ketchup. Mix whatever flavor of jello with about 1/3 the water subbed out with vodka or tequila; sell them for a buck a shooter or 2 bucks for three.

 

Another thing that seems to get a lot of attention is take a large plastic garbage can, like those Rubbermaid ones. Large enough that it takes the whole length of your arm to reach the bottom. Put 12 or more cans of beer in the garbage can; marking the bottom of one with a magic marker. Fill the can ½ to ¾ full with ice and then fill to the top with water.

Now charge a buck or two for a chance to pull out the marked beer can and win whatever prize you attach to it; no they don’t get to drink the beer. LOL

It sounds kind of goofy but there was always a line up of people waiting to stick their arm in that ice cold water.

The bonus part of this game is that the clean up crew at the end of the night has some nicely chilled beer to drink.

[Lunker777]

WOW..... great ideas so far !!!! So I have seen but most are new to me and would be AWESOME !

 

Im thinking the minnow races and the beer cans at the bottom of the garbage can would be pretty sweet forsure.

Toonie toss with a texas mickey and WD40.

[K_F]

one of the fan favorites around here is "the balloon game"

 

you sell balloons to everyone and have them tied to your ankle. Once everyone is outfitted they corall everyone in the middle of the hall, start the music and the object is to stomp eveyone elses baloon and be the last one standing. Its great fun, highly competitive and gets everyone active. Sandbaggers get identified and ganged up on.

 

Pick a prize for the winner, gift card, booze...etc...

[Muskieman]

Frizbeer , 2x 48" 2x4 sharpened at one end planted into the ground with an empty beer bottle on top places 25' apart , object is to knock the opponents beer bottle off the 2x4 with a Frizbee , knock it off opponent takes a drink ... We play it all the time .

[fishinmortician]

We filled a wheel barrow full of booze, donations from family liquer cabinets alwas help. Raffle that off, guarenteed money maker! Minnow races always a hit too

[CRUD150]

Alot of the buck n'does in my area are held on private property, acerages and farms.

Closest to the pin golf game for 50/50 is always a great time. Toonie a shot till dark,

is good for non stop entertainment.

 

When my wife and I got married we had the pre- party on our farm.

My brother and best man hosted a 50/50 bass tournament on my pond.

Fishn and golfin theme. Good times, people still talk about it and laugh 20 years later!
