I spent the morning brainstorming and researching activity ideas for the meet- so besides the actually buying/selling/trading and eating lunch here are my thoughts... let me know what you think!
1) $10 mystery gift swap (not mandatory. buy a gift to get into the game!)
2) "Gift Grab Dice Game" (bring along a few $1-$3 gifts, wrapped. I like this price point 'cause it makes it fun/easy to find fun/random gifts at endcaps, dollar stores, and garage sales
We usually say to bring the same number of gifts as the number of people in your family plus one)
3) G1 to G4 custom contest (because of those cheap ponies and because I love this. Is anyone else a customizer besides Wizzer?)
4) Caption Contest (for a pony staged photo that I would post here, submissions pmed to me, and would be voted on at the meet)
5) Art/craft contest! Like last year, only featuring Tex, our host pony. Paintings, customs, digital, sculpture, paper, sewing crafts etc. Prize for first place!
6) Group photo of host pony!
7) Ice breaker (I know a good one for all adults or kids if folks are interested- to be done after buying/trading of course! Requires answering two questions about yourself-such as what was your first pony- writing it on a post-it note, and guessing who's answer go to whom.)
8) Pony Showcase- bring in your brags for show and tell!
9) Trivia something... not sure if I will make a passive crossword or design a Jeopardy-like game, but I like trivia! Pony trivia, of course!
10) Prize for whomever drove the greatest distance to attend the meet!
11) Guess how many! I'll put candies or something in a jar.
12) Pony themed outdoor games... horseshoes!?
13) Actual MLP board games! Team play! Prizes!
14) Watch a pony movie! (or at least have a movie or the show playing in the background)
15) Pin the tail on the pony!
16) Raffle to win something awesome!
17) Eating cake (yes this is an activity!)
18) Tutorial/demonstration on custom/restore techniques (presented by...?)
19) Photography... designate one or two people as "official pony meet photographers" so we can be sure to get good photos of everything and everyone!
20) Pony wear- wear something with ponies on it (like a graphic t) or something colorful (It'll make our group look awesome in the photos! Maybe we could even say wear something in shades of yellow or pink, like our host pony! I had my bridesmaids pick out their own dresses, only it had to be a shade of green- they looked amazing together!)
21) Tour of my pony room!
22) Are you still reading? Wow, congrats!
23) Eat more cake
24) More ideas!
