Through
houseparty.com, I recently won the chance to host a Monopoly Unleashed House Party that I applied for. I was sent a "Party Pack" with Monopoly, Connect 4, Candy Land, and Monopoly Deal Millionaire from Hasbro with the requirements to invite at least ten people, host a party, play the games, and take some photos. So we invited lots of friends over for Friday night, and I spent a couple of days prepping for the party. I went with the Monopoly theme, as that game was the star of the box.
I made Mini Lasagna Cups, garlic bread, a veggie tray with dip, and cupcakes for snacks/dinner:
(I made the toppers for the cupcakes. If you have any reason for a board game-themed party and would like to print these, you can find them
HERE to download and print.)
We had quite the turnout, with many friends filling our apartment. We broke up into groups and played the games from the Party Pack. Monopoly ran almost the whole night long. After playing through the other games a few times, we also broke out other games to play, some of which were made by our friends Mike & Kelsey (of
Two Penny Games).
Monopoly now has a new playing token - a cat! (If you were a fan of the iron, it no longer exists.) Mike was the lucky "winner" of the cat token.
After a dueling game with lots of trading and bartering, our Monopoly winner was Luay (and his side-kick Heather):
Some other games that made an appearance:
Rousing rounds of Catch Phrase!
and Castle Panic.
The late-stayers participated in some photo booth silliness:
This one took a few shots...
Mike & Kelsey - their cuteness just can't be beat.
A beard, special made for Reba! It made her so happy. And this picture makes me happy.
Travis and Mike pondering...
Photo booth kisses!
Kelsey nearly loosing an eye.
Told you.
Everyone had a great time! I loved planning and prepping for the party as well. I'm glad I had the chance to do it!
