Mardi Gras Bunko

2010-04-27T08:53:00.000-07:00

In April I hosted Bunko and decided to do a Murder Mystery dinner in conjunction with our Game. The theme was "As the Beads Drop" Murder at the Mardi Gras. It was a really fun theme to try with bright colors, good southern food, and a little mystery!

Trena and Suze getting some grub

I wanted to make some real Southern Food for the Mardi Gras theme but most everything was a little out there. So I decided to tone it down a bit and stick with some classics but put a southern twist on them. We had a Creamy Tomatoe Bisque, Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, Southern Spinach Salad and for dessert the classic Chocolate Doberge Cake.

During Dinner we played a mini Murder Mystery game with a Mardi Gras Theme. Everyone had a character to play and a few people bit the dust as expected. Everyone guessed and then we revealed that SUZANNE (aka - Sabine Doriocourt) the PA at the local Hospital, was the Murderer at the end of the night. It was so much fun!

I played Madeline Broussard the Mardi Gras Queen & wore my sister Holly's mask that she brought home from Venice for our game.

The grand prize winner was Suz and she got a movie package with The Sherlock Holmes DVD, a Movie pass and some candy, Amanda won second place and got the game CLUE, and Trena won 3rd place and got an I SPY game and a movie pass. Brittany discovered who the murder was and received an Alfred Hitchcock DVD collection.

Every received a goody bag with a Blue Bayou Bunko Jazz CD Mix, some Mardi Gras beads and a Mask. The night was a blast! I sure love hanging with my Bunko Girls!

April Bunko

2010-04-12T12:02:00.000-07:00

April Bunko will be held on Thursday the 13th - 7 pm at Heather's house. We will be playing a quick Murder Mystery Party during our Mardi Gras themed dinner. It will be a blast! Please come on time if you can! Can't wait! :)

P.S. I still need money from Jocelyn, Angie and whoever is taking our extra space. Just bring it the night of. Thanks!

Couple's Bunko 2010

2010-02-14T21:21:00.001-08:00

So I had a blast hosting bunko this month. I scrap booked cd covers and party favors, I had fun making all the food and I could not have pulled it off without Bri, my dear friend. The prizes were fun. I did 3 top prizes for the winners. They each got popcorn bowls with all the goodies inside and gift certificates to the movies. The grand prize got the same thing but a gift certificate to Pizza/Pasta Factory instead and in theirs I put some goblets, sparking cider, love coupons, boxes of chocolate and a love cd....

My favorite part was making Creme Brule. My mom had all the little cups and the fire torch w/ the propane tank. I had dipped chocolate strawberries just for the occasion. It was a lot of work but it turned out to be a great evening for all away from kids!

We kicked off the new year right in January with a "Relaxing" Bunko Pajama party and Breakfast for Dinner! Suzanne was our hostess this month and we loved her idea. We all got these awesome Eye Masks to enjoy at the end of the night. I love this picture too because I think they look like goggles on our heads! We all have so much fun together!

Christmas Bunko

2010-01-27T20:41:00.000-08:00

December Bunko was wonderful this month. Santa even visited! Jocelyn was a great host with great food and prizes and we all loved our hand made headbands!

-Heather

November Bunko

2010-01-27T20:34:00.000-08:00

Finally posting November Bunko - I stole this from my own post so here it is in my own words. It was such a fun Night!

Yes, I am one of those crazy ladies that has to go to the midnight showing o f New Moon. I am so thankful to have crazy friends just like me to enjoy it with! This time was especially fun because we also have Bunko on Thursdays so it worked out perfectly to combined the two events.

Jo was our host this month and went all out. Seriously, I was in love with the whole evening and everything she did.

Everything was covered, from Vampires....

.....to werewolves.

We even got Twilight lotion. Way to host a party Jo!

We played a fun round of Bunko and then headed over to the theatre to wait in line. We stopped at the Maverick on the way to get some supplies and Hot Chocolate because it was cold (yes, you heard me. It was cold here that night in st. george.)Lucky we didn't have to wait to long in line and got great seats.

As we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of New Moon, the theatre employees came out to welcome us and throw shirts and hats out into the crowd. Brooke won this New Moon hat that we all wanted to steal from her. I love this picture of her too! She is such a riot!

We all LOVED the show! I thought they did a great job on it considering the movies are never as good as the books. I have always been a Team Edward gal (and still am) but after seeing Jacob Black, I found myself liking Jacob more than I ever did. :) Jocelyn, Tasha, Suzanne and I had the best time watching the werewolves. I think Jocelyn enjoyed it more than the rest of us but made it so entertaining to sit by!

The best part of the night? (other than the werewolves of course!) was our cute little Wendy sitting on her booster chair! What a Fun, Fun, Fun night! I can hardly wait for Eclipse!

Ok Jo... twilight bunko was so fun. Not only was dinner great but it came complete with tons of caffeine and half naked (underage but who cares) men!!! I don't think I'll be able to top that... but we'll see. That being said... December Bunko will be on Dec. 3rd. I know this is really soon but the month of Dec gets a little crazy toward the middle and of course the end is completely out. I hope this day works for everyone. see you at the clubhouse... jocelyn

September Bunko

Bunko was a blast this month! Jamie was our hostess and made a wonderful girls night out. We had Tostada Salads, Chips, Salsa and Guacamole. It was delish! She even made us caramel apples for dessert and Bath Salts for the handouts. The winners received Gift Cards to the Mall. What a great Bunko night to kick off the fall season. Thanks to all of our wonderful subs for coming this month too.

August Bunko

2009-09-26T22:54:00.000-07:00

Bunko last month was awesome! I had the best time playing hostess this month and was excited to have the gals over. We had a Luau In my backyard with Tiki Torches and treats. For the dinner we had a Hawaiian feast complete with Kalua Pork, Rice, Pani po po rolls, mango salsa, and pineapple. I didn't get a chance to snap a picture of the food and the backyard, so just imagine it!

For the prizes, Wendy, Jo and Suzanne won Home Decore from Krumpets. Amber won the travelers, which was my favorite.....a coconut bra and grass skirt I had from Hawaii. It was also Brooke's Birthday so we celebrated with cupcakes and a gift card to Tai Pan. What a fun night!
