Bunco theme help!

[LtlTee]

Hi all!
I posted this on the CB, but thought I'd pop in here too for some ideas. I need help!
It's my turn in February to host our monthly Bunco party. I want to do a Disney theme, but I don't have much thought out besides that! I'm not sure if I want to do a "general" Disney theme, or specifically a "Disneyworld Vacation"...
I know we have some really creative people here -- does anyone have suggestions for:

-- Wording for the invitation

-- Food ideas

-- Attire suggestions (Disneyworld or Disney character T-shirts? A lot of people come right from work, so we usually try not to make the dress too elaborate.)

-- Decorations (I have many theme park maps that I am somehow going to use, haven't decided how yet.)

-- Favor ideas (I was thinking of checking out the Disney store and checking out antenna toppers, key chains, etc. I don't know what type of container to give them out in, but I thought maybe I would set the favors out in an empty suitcase by the front door for everyone to grab as they leave, providing I go with the "Disneyworld vacation" theme and not a general Disney theme.

Thanks!!

What's a Bunco party? I might be able to help if you can give me some details.

Bunco is a dice game (almost reminds me of Yahtzee). We play with 12 people with 3 tables of 4, and it's played in "rounds". After each round, you move to another table, depending on how you finished. We have prizes at the end of the night for most Buncos, most wins, and most losses. (I hope that makes sense; I don't think I'm very good at describing it!)

We play with all women, and it's really a social thing -- the game is almost secondary!. A different person hosts each month, and the hostess comes up with a theme and a menu related to that theme. Everyone brings something on the menu. The hostess usually provides a drink tied into the theme and soda. At the end of the night everyone gets a little party favor/bag.
We have had Death by Chocolate, complete with Chocolate Martinis, A Day at the Beach, and a Pajama Party. It really is a lot of fun!

Hmm, the tables should be either themed by park or by land at MK, of Fab five, Princesses, Villains.

I like the favor in the suitcase idea. You could whip up a felt hand and wave at them as they leave.
I would try the Creative DISIgns forum for wording on the invites. the girls there have done wording for invites to CRT and such.
and they could also make up a t-shirt design too.

thinking some more, I'll be back.

Thank you for the ideas!
I love the idea of giving each table a theme!
See, I knew I came to the right place!

-- Food ideas

How about pretzels, churros (can usually order from Mexican restaurant) and mickey shaped cookies?

-- Attire suggestions (Disneyworld or Disney character T-shirts? A lot of people come right from work, so we usually try not to make the dress too elaborate.)

That would be cute - could also just ask for people to bring a copy of their favorite Disney picture and use on placecards (already made, just use pop dots to adhere.

-- Decorations (I have many theme park maps that I am somehow going to use, haven't decided how yet.)

You could also use these as the invitations. glue the invitation to inside and maybe put a map to your house over the big map.

-- Favor ideas (I was thinking of checking out the Disney store and checking out antenna toppers, key chains, etc. I don't know what type of container to give them out in, but I thought maybe I would set the favors out in an empty suitcase by the front door for everyone to grab as they leave, providing I go with the "Disneyworld vacation" theme and not a general Disney theme.

Suitcase is a very cute idea. You can also prolly check out your dollar store - they prolly have a deck of cards with Disney theme.
