Bachelorette Party: True American Drinking Game

6/30/2015

 
by Randi Juric

Ladies My Big Day is proud to share the hottest and trendiest new bachelorette party!

The custom is to go out on the town for the famed Last Night Single. As we are all well aware there are a few obstacles to a night out on the town with the ladies. It can be tough getting everyone together for a night out. Finding a D&D or paying for a taxi, unfortunate mistakes.

"Stay in" bachelorette parties are becoming more popular for these reasons. Trending is the best drinking game we have laid out for you below. Stay in, get a baby sitter, and have the best night in EVER!  All your ladies can meet in one place, stay the night so there aren’t any unsafe drivers and not have a care in the world about rude people out an about.  The best perk is the drinks are way cheaper!

The True American Drinking Game is a blast to play at any party. For a bachelorette party you can stick to the questions meant for the game or have you all ask questions, quote or find the common link all based off you and your guests! Having an event planner or just your gals planning your last night single, this is one of the hottest and fun games trending for your night to remember.  My Big Day is happy to help you plan your party!

True American Drinking Game

In Summary
Players take turns trying to win moves in order to navigate the tables, chairs, and cushions which are your only escape from the molten lava floor. At the center of the game is a castle made of a bottle of alcohol and many beers. As players traverse the game area, they remove beers and drink them. Once all of the beers have been removed, the first player to reach the bottle of alcohol, finish their beer, and take a swig from bottle, wins the game.

The Castle
The Castle is made up of one bottle of liquor and many cans of beer (you decide how many based on the number of players). The liquor is the King and sits in the middle of the Castle. The cans of beer are the Pawns and the Soldiers of the Secret Order. The Pawns are lined up in four lines radiating outward from the King. These lines of Pawns also signify the barriers between each zone. The game ends when all of the Pawns have been removed and a player drinks from the King.

The Zones
There are four zones, each with five spaces where a player can stand. The center space in each zone is the only space where the Pawns can be taken and thus it is the closest space to the Castle. There are a total of four of these spaces. The spaces at the beginning and end of the zones are the farthest away from the Castle.

Setup
Before the game starts, determine how many beers total should be consumed and setup the Castle with those beers as the Pawns. Using the lines of Pawns as barriers between the zones; designate each zone, making sure to have 5 spaces in each zone as described above. Teams are optional.

Starting the Game After setup is complete, players may have a shotgun contest to determine who has the first turn. If no player wisher to shotgun a beer, play rock-paper-scissors instead. To start the game, the winner of this contest yells "One, two three, JFK!" at which point all other players yell "FDR", grab a Pawn from the Castle, and retreat to any space.

Gameplay Players move around the game area in a clockwise direction. The player whose turn it is always moves one space; however, the other players must "win" their moves. This player has three ways to provide the other players with a way to win their move.

  • The Count: All players yell "One, two, three" and then hold a number of fingers, between one and five, against their foreheads. Anyone holding a number that no one else has chosen wins. Winners may move one spot.
  • Complete a Quote: The player may slowly speak a quote from history or pop culture. Any other player that is able to jump in and complete the quote in tandem wins. Winners may move two spots.
  • Something in Common: The player may yell out two people, places, or things. Any other player that can reply with what these two things have in common wins. Winners may move three spots.

Players must always have a beer in their hand and may not have more than three at any one time. Players may only take a Pawn from the Castle when they are in one of the four center spaces.


Winning
After all Pawns have been removed, the King is vulnerable. The first player to land on one of the center spaces, finish their beer and take a swig from the King, wins the game!


Losing

If you are caught without a beer or with only an empty beer, you lose. If you step in molten lava, you lose. To enter back into the game, drink one full beer and start on a space that the other players decide.

Advice from Amateurs & Bad Bridesmaids

6/5/2015

 
- by Christine Forster, My Big Day

Last night I was so looking forward to a nice, relaxing evening at my nail salon... ahhh.... one hour in a massage chair, getting a pedicure, reading wedding magazines. But that's not how the night played out.

The salon was hopping - nearly every chair was taken. I was sat next to a loud, abrasive brunette and her friend who were having a little bit of a girls night.
The brunette clearly didn't notice the soothing whimsical music in the background and chairs lined with ladies reclined with their eyes closed. Her voice carried across the entire salon. She spoke as if her words of wisdom were meant for everyone there.
Picture
Two minutes in I heard the word 'wedding' and my ears perked up. The brunette's friend was getting married and they were catching up to talk about wedding details.  The conversation was like nothing I have ever heard before - mostly because we meet with bride's and grooms - not all their friends and bridal party.  Never have I heard a bride get so much advice in such a short period of time... so much BAD advice. The experience inspired this post. 

Every bride should read this:
Just because your friend got married last year, it does not  make her an expert on YOUR wedding - or weddings in general.

Advice from Amateurs: An amateur is someone who is NOT a professional.  If you are seeking consultation from friends who married before you, they may not be the best people to ask.  Why? Your day is unique to you. You had your own vision for your wedding and an amateur can't necessarily advise you on specifics for your day. They only know the tiny bit they've experienced.
Bad Bridesmaids:  A bad bridesmaid is in it for all the wrong reasons. If you have a bridesmaid who never asks you, "What do YOU want?" or "How do YOU feel about that?".... only give their own opinions or tell you how you should feel - you my friend have a bad bridesmaid.
Picture
For a full hour I sat and listened to opinion after opinion and bad advice after bad advice. The poor bride was exhausted by the brunette, I could tell. Never once did her friend/bridesmaid ask her how she was feeling or what she would like. She just gave advice as if she were a seasoned pro.

Things to leave up to the Pros:

  • Timings (hair, makeup, photos - basically the entire day)
  • Vendor Recommendations (unless your friend has see the vendor in action more than once)
  • Dealing with complicated family dynamics
  • Color Palette (Really, this is up to you, don't listen to what your friends prefer. You have to live with your photos - not them)
  • Photo shots (again- the pros can give you advice, but ultimately it is up to you)
  • Pricing (The Pros see contracts every day. We can estimate pricing for every aspect of an event)

So... did I step in and call the Bad Bridesmaid out?
No.   I could have passed the bride my card and offered to help, but some situations aren't worth jumping in the middle of.  Let's hope the bride comes to her senses and decides to hire a pro!

My Big Day Site Visit: Palmer Flowers, Fort Collins

6/4/2015

 
Recently the My Big Day team was invited to tour the Fort Collins Palmer Flowers location, meet the staff, and learn all about the floral industry.  We toured their entire facility- who knew it was so big!?!?!  We learned about all of their coolers, the process for keeping flowers fresh and buying direct from farmers... about holiday business, event rentals - and best of all... their wedding an corporate business!

Thank you to the Palmer Flowers staff for the incredible tour and floral education! What a fun site visit for the My Big Day LLC crew! So many coolers... so many choices... we were in heaven!
