Dice Game

Set up:
1) get 2 die and 11 envelopes. Number your envelopes #2 - 12
2) Put a folded piece of paper with a prize or the words book a party in the following envelopes

#2 -- they get the Grand Prize (i do a soup or bucket drink)
#3, 4, 5, 12 -- they get a small prize -- either the small cookbook or the itty bitty chai ($1.99 value)
#6,7,8,9,10,11 - write "Book a Party"

At the party"
1) Tell them you have a fun game that was a blast at your last party. Let them know its a lot of fun and encourage them to play
2) Tell them its optional to play
3) Like any game there are rules - and if you play the game you have to agree to the rules
4) Tell them that they'll roll the dice - and then they get the envelope of the number that shows on the dice. (so they roll a 7 - they get envelope #7)
5) If 2 people roll the same number - just have them roll again - or have 2 sets of envelopes with you
6) Tell them that they have the option of winning one of 3 things
- a prize, a grand prize or a free shopping spree on you -- which means they'll book a party or a catalog party. Make sure they know that one of the options is booking a party -- so if they play -there is a chance that they'll need to. If they absolutely don't want a party - don't play. but if they would have one -- then go ahead. Say the prizes a couple of times so that everyone knows the options
7) Start with one person and say "do you want to play" - if they do - hand them the dice and the corresponding envelope. Tell them NOT to open them until the end. Go around the room like this - asking each person individually if they want to play
8) Once everyone who wants to rolls the dice - tell them that you are now going to play Let's Make a Deal.
-- if they def. want a party and tell you right now -- BEFORE they open the envelope they will receive another prize (you decide -- could be the Grand Prize again, a drink bucket, a product of their choice, a dessert, etc. Its got to be a prize that people would want though). So if they book a party before they open the envelope - you'll give them the prize PLUS whatever is in the envelope. (remind them that they could have a prize or the grand prize in there) Then go to each person individually and say, "do you want to have a party" - then let them open their envelope.
- I found that most people holding envelopes booked before they even opened to see what their prize was .

The chances of someone getting the grand prize is slim because they need to roll snake eyes. The only thing that I do is I do NOT give them the "consellation" gift until they actually have their party, that way if they do back out, you won't lose product. I will put it on they hostess order the night of their own party.....get it?? I did order some of the "itty bitty chai" and the individual "garlic garlic" just to have so they could go home with the actual item when they open the envelope.

I would love to hear your success on this game!
