Planning a Party with Wooden Games as Entertainment: A Step-by-Step Guide




1. Set a Theme: Choose a theme for your party that compliments the rustic appeal of wooden games. This could be a backyard BBQ, a vintage carnival, or a rustic farmhouse gathering.


2. Select the Games: Choose a variety of wooden games that are suitable for your party guests. Consider classics like cornhole, ladder toss, giant Jenga, or ring toss. Ensure you have enough games to accommodate your guest count. Mianki Jamboree has packages that suiit every situation.


3. Find a Venue: Select a suitable venue that provides enough space for the games to be set up. If hosting the party at your home, ensure your backyard or living area can accommodate the games comfortably. Ensure there are enough drinks tables for participants of the games to place their drinks on when they play. Also check that there is available cover if the heavens open up and it rains. A tent may be an ideal option as this will also prevent evening due on the tables preventing gaming fun.


4. Send Invitations: Send out invitations that match your chosen theme and emphasize the inclusion of wooden games as entertainment. Encourage guests to come prepared for some competitive fun.


5. Set Up the Games: Prior to the party, set up the games in a designated area. Arrange them in a way that allows for easy access and flow for guests to enjoy each game. Mianki Jamboree will deliver and setup the games prior to the start so this gives you one less thing to worry about.


6. Provide Instructions: Create clear instructions for each game and display them near the corresponding game station. This will help guests understand the rules and encourage friendly competition. Some games hire companies like Mianki Jamboree will provide instructions for all the games provided and will even have an attendant available to reset games, offer tips and ensure that everyone is having fun.


7. Create a Game Schedule: Plan a game schedule to ensure everyone gets a chance to play. Consider organizing mini-tournaments or team-based competitions to keep the energy high and engagement levels up. This is so important because there will be guests that will become so enthralled with a game they may not allow others to have an opportunity to try it. The schedule does not have to be rigid and may just limit the amount of consecutive games allowed before giving others a go.


8. Offer Prizes: Motivate guests by offering small prizes for winners or awarding points throughout the party for all or a specific set of games with a grand prize for the person with the highest score. Mianki Jamboree can provide a leader board that is visible so everyone can see how they are doing throught the event. This enhances the excitement and competitiveness of the games.


9. Plan Refreshments: Arrange food and drinks that align with the chosen theme. Consider setting up a buffet-style BBQ, serving traditional carnival snacks, or providing a rustic-style picnic spread.


10. Decorate and Enhance the Atmosphere: Use natural and rustic decorations, such as wooden signs, burlap table runners, and lanterns, to create a cohesive aesthetic that complements the wooden games and enhances the overall ambiance.


11. Capture Memories: Set up a designated area for a photo booth or hire a photographer to capture candid moments of guests enjoying the games. As all guests will have a phone capable of taking great photographs, why not ask guests to share the photographs they take with you on your facebook or other social media page. This will create lasting memories of the event. Mianki Jamboree does have photobooths for hire that will also come with fun props that will suit your selected theme.


12. Prize Presentation: Allocate a time towards the end for acknowledging the winners and presenting prizes. This does not have to be at the very end but as close to the eand as possible.


13. Enjoy and Interact: Finally, as the host, make sure to mingle with your guests, participate in the games, and create an atmosphere of fun and camaraderie.


By following these steps, you can successfully plan a memorable party centered around wooden games, ensuring a delightful and entertaining experience for all your guests.
