I must admit- first time I heard the word “Bunko” I conjured up all kinds of nasty, smoke-filled room thoughts of a back-alley kinda game played over bad beer by dubious personages.
I’m SO over that now and can proudly call myself a five-year Bunko addict. What a great opportunity to get friends together for some mindless, gleeful fun! And it’s my first-weekend-of-every-month November turn to host the party – filled with everybody’s card tables and food and conviviality!
This morning I’m planning ahead – and I’ll let you in on a secret. Everybody walks away from my Bunko-hosted parties with a little gift, a favor if you will, because I want all my guests to take away a happy memory of our time together. Yes, my Cohorts in Bunko Addiction mean that much to me.
Since the point of the whole she-bang is to not spend a ton of money – I usually turn to Kate Aspen to find my favors. There’s so much variety and the price is so right and the good ideas – well, my main complaint with Kate Aspen favors is that there are too many choices! And here’s what it’s done to me today – Kate’s put me in a party-planning quandry. Just follow me on this one…

Do I make it a pizza night theme? A little merlot, maybe a chianti, some pizza (I make a good home made pizza – btw)? Then I divide the rounds into quarters, and at the end of each quarter give one of these favors, like the “Slice of Love” to the highest score? Then maybe a Grand Loser price of “Seasoned with Love” to the lowest score at the end? That way more than one person goes home with a little bunko favor. What do you think?

One entry per person. Oh shoot, scratch that- as many as you want. Entry must include favor ideas from KateAspen.com, combined with a party theme. Entries will be reviewed by an independent judging panel consisting of me, and a winner will be selected on October 21st, 2009, sometime in the afternoon, EST. Award notification will occur on this blog sometime thereafter, probably after dinner, and I will then send you a prize! How’s that? I don’t know what the prize is yet, but I promise it will be something cute!
Celebrating good friends, Bunko parties, and your good ideas for party themes today!
