DJ Question

I have a 140 guest. I want my DJ to give out giveaways. How many of each giveaway should I tell my DJ to order? Thanks

Re: DJ Question

Although I rarely get a call for props, here are some thoughts...

Talk to your DJ about what type of props are available and ask how they use them, ie. with specific music, for a specific dance, etc. You know your guests so choose items that you think will go over well. You do not need to have one of each item for every guest.

Day or evening time of reception may influence your choice... you may not see glow necklaces in a bright room during the day. Inflatables (ie. guitars) may be a costly flop... do you really need them?

A practical, affordable, non-overkill recommendation:

One to two tubes of glow necklaces (50 items per tube)
Two or Three dozen Mylar Streamers
Three or Four dozen Blues Bros. Sunglasses
Three or Four dozen Maracas
Six dozen Hawaiian Leis

Some folks don't like an MC messing up their hair with hats... you make the call!

Have fun....

Michael

Missed this post last time!

Great question!

Glow Sticks
Moracas
Glasses of any sort
Beads ( necklaces )

These are usually the items that have guests with their hands out!

I am not a big fan of the Blow-ups! Michael makes a good point about Hats. I have our guys hand out hats, rather than placing them on the heads of the guests.

As far as quantity, just make sure you have enough to go around. Like the teacher always said, ' If you don't have enough gum for everyone don't chew it! '

Good Luck & Congrats!
Jeff
