I have seen threads on having a bingo show, has anyone done this? is it worth trying if you can get the people together to do it? I think it could be fun but would like to know if anyone has tried it first and what kind of outcome you had
 
I am currently going to doing a Bingo to beat Breast Cancer does anyone have a template with PC items on it that could be used as Bingo cards? I have special invites where guests get so many cards for bookings, rsvps, etc..I just thougth it would be fun to incorporate PC items in here...however, we play the game after the orders have been submitted I think, so it may not make much difference if we incorporate PC items anyway???

Any suggestions?

Wow! I can always count on consultants here to pull me out of a pinch!

I have a fundraiser tonight that was booked off of a HWC Bingo event. Well, the Host's roommate got confused and told her friends that we were playing bingo tonight. I work full-time and was totally caught off guard by this, trying to think how we could make this work with products. I told the host I'd call her back on my lunch hour.

So what do I do in a panic? Come to chefsuccess and search on bingo, of course! Thank you ladies for saving my butt! The cards above are just what I need!
 
Just be cautious guys in certain states you need a license from the Dept. of Gaming if you do anything more than just play and give out prizes.

Janet, what is meant by "do anything more than just play and give out prizes"? Would that mean collecting orders?

I think she means more of if you have people pay for a card to play... as in a "real" BINGO game.
