National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!

11/23/2013

When the holidays draw near, do you feel the need to reach for a beer?
The relatives are in town, and you are putting in your time with the family...

Well, spike that egg nog, Sparky, grab your favorite moose mug, and play My Big Day's "Christmas Vacation Drinking Game!"

What you will need for this game: an beer, eggnog, wine, or your drink of choice, a santa hat & a single shot of your choice (perhaps a lime jello shot topped with cat food).

My Big Day Drinking Rules:

Take One Drink Every Time...

Ellen calls Clark "Sparky"
Someone is wearing an ugly holiday sweater
There is singing or bells shaking
The swimming pool is referenced
Clark is wearing a sports team article of clothing

Additional Rules:

The entire group takes a drink whenever an advent calendar door is opened.

You must yell “Shitter’s Full!” any time you leave to use the restroom, otherwise you must finish your beer when you return.

The first person to say “Get me somebody! And get me somebody while I'm waiting!” when Frank Shirley appears on screen for the first time chooses a person to finish their drink.

The first person to stand up & fully complete the “knock on the door, peek in…” correctly WITH hand gestures during that scene gives two drinks.

At any point in the movie, you can point to someone & yell "RUSS!" If they do not respond with "Right here, dad" they must take a drink (max once per person, this could get out of control).

Anytime someone misquotes a line in the movie, they have to wear the Santa hat until it gets passed to the next person.
When the movie is over, the last person wearing the Santa hat has to shotgun a beer & finish by saying “Ahh, It’s good, It’s good. It’s good.”

* A special thank you to all the versions of this drinking game that exist on the web that allowed us to customize our own--- we appreciate everyone's spirit and love for this movie! : The black sheep online, funtrivia, christmasvacationdrinkinggame.com, drinkinggames.com, poptrivia, pophangover, littlebabygarvin, etc...

Alternative Bachelorette Party Ideas

11/21/2013

My Big Day LOVES bachelorettes and loves to party! Some traditional bachelor and bachelorette party ideas seem tired and a little 'been there, done that.'

Try switching things up a bit and look for fun group activities that a tad un-traditional.

Check out the list below and find a party idea that's right for you and your friends. And if you really need help, contact My Big Day and let us plan the party for you!

Sign up for TravelZoo alerts. Have a couple places in mind that you and the girls would like to travel to. When one of those places pops up on a travel alert, snag it fast! You can book an exotic trip for an amazing deal if you are flexible!
Why not Go Green by camping in a national park? Camping trips in the past have a been a fun bachelor party idea but there’s no reason that the girls can’t enjoy a fun night away in Sedona or Joshua Tree. Not crazy about spending time in a tent? There are plenty of outdoor cabins and luxury campsites available online for your eco-friendly bachelorette party.
Give Back Bachelorette Parties: Service oriented parties are making a comeback. Brides are donating their time to give back to their community for a good cause. Using their time in a positive way is a great way to make an important impact for those less fortunate.
Bucket List bachelorette parties are trending. Check something off your bucket list with all your best gal pals in tow. Make a list, and agree with the girls to knock one or two off the list before you get hitched!
Kick back and relax at a girl’s bachelorette spa weekend. Take a trip to a local salon or plan a lavish spa retreat get away. Let your cares slip away while you’re covered in a mud wrap and massaged into relaxation. Treat your favorite bridesmaids to manicures and pedicures as a thank you for making your big day memorable.
Not everyone can have Napa in their backyard but if you’re lucky you can have a wine and cheese getaway to a local wine country for a special wine themed bachelorette party. Rent a nice limo bus for a responsible transportation tour to all the scenic tasting spots.
Photo session bachelorette parties are all the rage right now. Boudoir photos are a great wedding day present for your new husband. Or similar to photos you took with all your girlfriends in high school, bachelorettes are treating their best girl friends to girlfriend photos. Scrapbook all your new photos for a fun way to remember and thank your bridesmaids.
Everyone loves a laugh and comedians love playfully teasing bachelorettes. Sitting front row at a comedy club theme bachelorette party is a great way to get your bride-to-be plenty of attention!
Plan a Photo Scavenger Hunt. Make a fun list of things or people to take photos of/with! The team with the most photos wins. You'll laugh the entire time, and have photos to keep for a lifetime.
Trying to stay healthy and in shape for the big day? Plan a health themed bachelorette party with a yoga instructor, dance class or Pilates class. These classes are great for non-drinkers or pregnant guests because you can abstain from alcohol and partying.

Have you seen this yet? Everyone is buzzing about it! Crest and Oral-B came up with a hilariously honest video demonstrating how kids feel about Halloween candy.

The kids in this video were only told that they would be the first ones to try brand-new Halloween treats.
What happens on film is pure magic!
