Dear Wagon: Summertime Blues Help Needed


Dear Off the Wagon,

Summer boredom is setting in. Most of my college friends went home. There are only a few of us left taking some classes and working a few hours. There are definitely no big parties going on. Any ideas how we can introduce some fun to some unhappy summer students?


Sincerely,

Suffering from the Summertime Blues



Dear Suffering,

Two words: BACON PARTY!!

1. Food: Bacon, of course! Whip up some spiced bacon bites, bacon puffs, and chicken & bacon tidbits. For dessert, why not serve some Gummy Bacon? We also suggest some heart medication be available just in case.

2. Decorations: Keep it simple. Slap a few Bacon Bandages on the walls and on yourself to create the fun mood of the evening. Save a few to offer guests as they arrive so they can feel festive, too.

3. Games: The most obvious choice is Mr. Bacon's Big Adventure. You and 3 of your friends will be laughing as you play this bacon-meets-Candyland board game. After that, how about a good old-fashioned game of spin the bottle? How does this fit in with the bacon theme you may ask? Simple. Give all of your guests a tube of Bacon Lip Balm and tell them to pucker up.

Have fun and don't forget to post pictures of your Bacon Party on our Facebook page.

Do you have a problem or unique gift situation you'd like to ask Off the Wagon to help you solve humorously? We'd love to hear from you. Send us a private message in our inbox on our Facebook Page and we just might feature it on our blog!
