How To Host Bingo Game Parties

With a number of celebrities joining the craze, bingo game parties are fast becoming the hottest way to spend an evening. Famous players who enjoy regular bingo parties include the likes of Catherine Zeta Jones, who is said to host annual Christmas bingo parties at her home.

Many other celebs are joining the fun, and exclusive parties are held at secret locations across London and New York – drawing many A-list bingo fans as they gather to enjoy a few thrills of this popular pastime. For those seeking a highly entertaining and unique idea for a party, hosting a bingo night offers a memorable evening of bingo, socialising and nail-biting tension – all in all, a highly enthralling way to spend an evening at home with a group of friends!

Home bingo is not as expensive or difficult as many may think, and with a simple bingo set anyone can host a party. Choose a themed party, such as Christmas bingo or even Baby Shower bingo for a special kitchen tea that any future mom would remember forever. Basic sets include a ball blower or cage, markers, a bingo board and cards (these can be printed from your computer or even made at home).

While 90-ball games can be easily played, 75-ball sets are also available depending on your preference. Themed parties take a novel twist by using symbols instead of numbers. For instance, a Christmas bingo card could have popular symbols such as Christmas tree, angel, candy cane, gift, stocking, bell and so on. This adds an element of fun, and soon your guests will be having loads of fun as they play bingo and try to get all of their symbols crossed off first.

Once you have your set and have chosen your theme, invite a few friends over to play a few rounds of bingo. Ask each guest to bring a snack, and provide a range of drinks. You can also decide if you will be playing for fun, or perhaps you can charge a small cost for each game and give the winner a cash prize. You could even invite your friends from your favourite online bingo site for a fun mixer that is sure to be a hit.
