Just like in White Elephant, each guest brings a gift and will be most likely leaving with someone else’s. No, really, that is the best way to describe it! So you may be wondering what in the world is “White Elephant Bingo”? Well just pretend that Bingo and the White Elephant Exchange had a baby…

Just ask me if you want the recipe, it is super simple to throw together. We served my family’s tasty raspberry punch which is always a favorite. I did my best, but we just had a lot of food! And everything was delicious! When a guest arrived with their finger food in a bright pink tupperwear or when another handed me a bag of chips, I was able to quickly transport the food into a less distracting item and place it on the table. So to help with the aesthetics, I had several versatile white dishes and cake stands on hand. But for this one, I was not as particular about that and was much more interested in the party preparation time it saved me!īut with that being said, I still didn’t want it to look like a potluck. I don’t do this for all the parties I throw because often I want everything to color coordinate. We asked our guests in the invitations to bring a finger food to share.

And if anyone walked in lacking bling, I had an ample supply of gold necklaces to share.Īnd what would a White Elephant Bingo party be without a white elephant?! Am I right?! So in the invites, guests were asked to wear gold apparel to the party. So along with being elephant themed, I added a bit of gold.Īnd of course, if you know me, that means getting the guests involved as well. Guess those are all good signs it’s a fun event for everyone! 🙂 The DecorĮver since my golden birthday, I have loved adding a touch of gold to parties whenever I can. Another admitted that she had saved onto items she had purchased for this party a year before! We thought it would help spice up the post holiday blues which come in the months of January and February.Īnd apparently we aren’t the only ones who look forward to it! A few of our friends were asking us back in December when we were going to host our White Elephant Bingo party. It all started back when we challenged ourselves to throw 9 parties in 9 weeks. This was our 3rd year throwing it (see our first one here!). One of our annual parties we are always excited about is our White Elephant Bingo party. It’s something to look forward to and something I can add to every year. White Elephant Bingo is a fun, post holiday party to throw.
