Have you ever played Bunco?
My daughter is a member of a very casual group of players. When she hosted a Bunco game a couple of months ago, they needed a sub. I joined their group for the evening and had a wonderful time! When chatting about it with my dear friend, Anne, she said, “We should start a group!” Feelers were sent out to gauge interest and within a day, we had plenty of girls who were just looking for an excuse to party! 😏 I volunteered to host the first three months in hopes our little group would gel and continue. Anne and I decided it would be “Girls Only”. Our first game was a big hit with plenty of players.
For snacks I chose a pie theme. Lemon Meringue Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie and Frito Pie. 😋 Everyone laughed and dug into the food! Being a horrible blogger, no photos were taken of the prepared nibbles. Hey! There’s always next time, right?
Since this was our first game, I had the crazy idea to give everyone dice as a party favor. Here’s where the Dollar Store craft challenge comes into my post.

Have you noticed the price of Bunco games?! Depending on how “deluxe” you want yours to be, they can get pretty dang expensive! No, thank you! I was thrilled when I walked into my local dollar store and noticed dice were available 5 for $1. Yes, please! I bought them all. All. Of. Them. I also grabbed balloons, plates, super cute napkins
And some white favor boxes!
I stumbled across this darling FREE PRINTABLE which became our theme for the evening. My color printer died, but there’s a ridiculously large pile of paper in my craft room. A lovely pink shade in a heavier weight paper was found and used for the FREE PRINTABLE. Next the favor boxes were folded and the shiny gold polka dot napkin was tucked inside for a bit of shimmer. Each one held nine dice and three pink balloons. White curling ribbon held on the pink tags.
For less than $3 each, these were lovely Party Favors for my sweet friends, The Bunco Beauties!
