Mardi Gras Bunko

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!

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 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! :)

Couple's Bunko 2010

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!

January Bunko

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!
