Get the Party Started with Scratch Off Cards

Getting together with family and friends to celebrate a special occasion is something that many people enjoy doing. Some people prefer to attend parties and other enjoy hosting parties.

 Being a host means that you have a lot of responsibilities and duties. Some people enjoy every aspect of planning a party, from what foods to serve to what type of music to play.

 One challenge many hosts face is finding the perfect party favor to give guests as a special memento of the occasion. Often this is the most difficult thing for hosts to come up with. You want something that guests will enjoy as well as something that is affordable.

 A fun favor idea that will have guests “scratching” are scratch off cards. Scratch off cards are an exciting party favor that are great for any occasions including baby showers, birthday parties, anniversary parties and weddings. Making your own scratch off cards with scratch off stickers is a great cost saver when you're on a tight budget.

 Games are some times played at parties, especially birthday parties and baby showers. Instead of offering a specific prize to the winner of each game offer them a special scratch off card instead. The winner can then scratch off the card to reveal their prize, adding to the excitement. It’s fun not knowing what you could win, especially when there are multiple prize options.

 Another option would be to make up multiple cards, each one revealing a different prize. Ask the winners to resist scratching their prize cards. At the end of the party the winners can choose to swap cards with other winners and perhaps trade up for a bigger prize or end up with the door prize. This is a great way to get people really excited about what they can win.

 Another fun idea is to give each guest a scratch off card with multiple scratch off stickers. Have a prize listed behind just one of the stickers and ask your guests to choose just one sticker to scratch off. They could be a winner or a looser. They won't know until they scratch off the stickers. This also could double as a fun game. 

 Scratch off cards are not only unique and affordable party favors but they also make great party games. Scratch off cards are a fun way to get the party started.

 Give each guest a scratch off card or place them all in a bowl and let each guest take one. You can have one winning card or several. Guests will have to scratch off their cards to reveal if they are a winner. Many people enjoy these fun games of chance. It's similar to the scratch off cards for the state lottery but instead of winning money your guests can win other great prizes.

 Scratch off cards are also great for use with trivia games. You can create scratch off cards with different trivia questions on them. They can either be random trivia questions or trivia questions about the guest of honor. Party guests will have to see if they can answer the question before they are allowed to scratch off their card.

 Trivia questions are a great way to get a conversation started among guests. Ask your guests pair up or assign them a partner. Each person can take turns answering their cards. The person who answers both questions correctly can win a prize.

 Your scratch off cards can be personalized with names, date and the reason for the celebration. After the party is over guests can hold on to the scratch off cards and use them as bookmarks, place them in scrapbooks or  use a magnet to tack on the fridge as a constant reminder the party.

 When it comes to scratch off cards, you are only limited to your imagination.
