What kind of raffles prizes can anyone think of for a birthday party?

Question

It is a 21st Birthday party and aside from the dancing and eating and drinking I want to include a few fun stuff. I thought of having Karaoke and the winner gets a gift card. Then I thought of maybe having a raffle..Like as people come in they put their name in a jar and towards the end of the party a name will be picked and get a prize. I cant think of a prize tho. I am on a budget so i cant have anything to pricey since I am already giving out a gift card for the karaoke winner. Any ideas?..nothing to childishhh and something that is for both male and female and go with all age groups. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

a camera (not disposable, but cheap)

Answer 2

lottery ticket, sporting event ticket (baseball game)

Answer 3

Gift card for dinner at a local eatery, can be casual or more formal, depending how much you want to spend.

Gas card, I'm sure anyone would LOVE one of these as gas prices soar!

Gift card to local coffee shop, move theater, etc.

You can also just make up a fun thing.  Get an ice bucket being you're turning 21, fill it with some novelty ice cube trays, you can find them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Linens&Things, they're the ones that make ice cubes in different shapes, put a shot glass or two in there, etc.  Things that relate to turning 21.

You can also go to one of those stores and by a bar set.  The ones that have the stainless cup to mix drinks, the strainer, etc.  Raffle that off so someone has a way to mix drinks at their next party!

You can mix off some summer mixers.  You know like Pina Colada mix, Daiquri mix, etc.  Things that people like to make in the summer time.  You can even put the glasses to go with them.

You can do a beach set.  A beach bag with a beach towel, sunglasses, some lotion, etc, maybe a cooler instead of the bag so it's more for males and females.

What about a summer yard game, like volleyball, badmitten, etc, being summer's coming, more people are spending their time outside.

You can do a set of beer mugs, or wine glasses, etc. If you do the wine glasses you can include wine charms with them.

You can even do a nice bottle of wine with the glasses and wine charms.

I hope some of these ideas help and that you have a great party. Happy 21st Birthday!

Answer 4

Candy!

Answer 5

Charge a fee for the raffle...winner gets the jar full of $$ ( the cost of the raffle is the prize).

This allows people to purchase more than one entry....
