Who Wants Tickets?

Give away tickets for different things at the party; the person who arrives first; someone who brings a guest, etc. You can decide what you want to “reward” them for. When guest arrive, hand out slips of paper. Then during the presentation, ask them to write down the name of five friends, and the first person finished gets a ticket. Do the same with neighbors, relatives, co-workers etc or use a list of descriptive phrases like, someone you know that is pregnant, or a mom of 3 or someone who works and would love a girls night out.

At the end of the party, the person with the most tickets wins a prize. The guests think they’ve played a game, but what they’ve really done, is fill out their guest list. When you ask them to book a party and they say no, ask them what they plan to do with their guest list. Can the guest next to her have it to use at her show? Of COURSE NOT! They usually will reconsider when they realize the hard part of making a list of “who to invite” is already done.

You can purchase a large roll of tickets at Wal-Mart and they now have them 250 tickets for a $1 at Dollar Tree. They are with the party supplies. I like the ones from Dollar Tree becasue they are flat and fit nicely in my bag.
