Write an article based on this "Determine a maximum cost. Ask your guests to bring a gift to the party. Count all the guests at the party who want to participate. Throw all the numbers in a hat."
Generally, $20 to $25 is the recommended cap on cost for gifts, but you should adjust that amount to suit the situation. For casual gatherings, a smaller amount might be appropriate. Likewise, if it's just a silly game for kids, it will probably be more fun with small, inexpensive toys than bigger items. Give them the price range, and let them know that they should wrap whatever they bring. If the game will include all ages, ask guests to label any adult items, such as alcoholic beverages. Likewise, if they bring a toy, they can label it specifically for children.e Specify in advance whether they should bring silly gag gifts or something small but nice, just so all of your guests are on the same page. Write numbers on pieces of paper from one up through the total number of participants. Have each person to take one. This will determine the order that they go in to pick their gift.
