How to Throw a Wine Tasting Party with Games

Plan the perfect wine tasting party with these helpful tips and hilarious party games that will have your party guests talking about for years to come!

If you’re looking for a great way to spend an evening with friends, family or colleagues then consider throwing a wine tasting party. Plan a few classy wine tasting games, add some small bites that complement the wine flavors, and a delicious dessert and you have one amazing party that will have all the guests raving!

Which types of wine should I serve?

A sparkling wine is always a great way to start the night while people are arriving. Next, a nice white wine is fantastic and pairs well with a variety of foods (think savory appetizers). Reds are heavier in flavor so best for dinner parties or later in the evening when people have already eaten or paired with a dessert. Consider serving one red and one white to your guests if you’re not sure which they’ll prefer.

What should I serve while tasting?

A lot of people might think wine tasting is all about the wine, but it’s just as important to have something to go with it! If you’re hosting this kind of party at home, take some time beforehand to plan out what foods will match up best with each type of wine you’re serving.

For a wine & cheese party, serve light appetizers like cheese plates or olives when there are still plenty of gaps between courses so that no one feels too full after eating. Choose flavors that compliment the type of wines. For example, cheese like brie goes great with light white wines, goat’s milk ricotta tastes amazing with bolder whites and blueberries go perfect with sweet dessert wines.

Put together a charcuterie board with cheeses, grapes on the vine, pickles, olives, a few varieties of crackers and prosciutto for an impressive spread that your guests will love. You can also make individual charcuterie board jars or small plates that are served with each wine, to make sure the tastings match up seamlessly.

It’s also great to have a nice dessert to finish off the night. Try a sweet treat that pairs well with wine like tiramisu or a fruit tart.

Wine Tasting Games

What a party without entertainment and tons of laughs? Take the stress out of planning and grab these fun, printable wine tasting games for a great night that your guests (and you!) are sure to enjoy.

Included are also cards for taking notes and scoring your favorite wines. You don’t have to use all of these games, but pick a few that will work best with the people you invited and your budget. The five page set includes beautiful colors and a list of supplies that make it easy to shop.

Some favorite games included in the printable set:

I’m Going to a Bar- Similar to “Going on a Bear Hunt” this fun game will test your memory and rhythm skills which makes for a hilarious time, especially after a few cocktails!

Straight Face- Try not to laugh when these silly phrases are read aloud. See who has the best poker face as your guests try not to crack a smile.

You’ll need pencils, strips of paper, a bucket or basket (optional) to put the strips of paper in to play this funny game.

Defy Gravity– Guaranteed to challenge your skills, the goal of this game is to keep balloons in the air longer than your opponents!

Prosecco Pong– Classy pong? Yes, please! For this game you’ll need a larger space to set up the plastic wine glasses, ping pong balls, and extra bottles of prosecco.

Heads Up– Using your phone, download the ‘Heads Up’ app to play this guessing game.

Planning a great party

Host a memorable wine tasting party with fun games and provide an opportunity to try new wines. But before you start planning, here are some tips on how to throw a successful party:

Choose plate and decoration colors that look nice with wine colors like pink, maroon, red, or even a black or gold accent.
Make sure there are enough seats or stools available in each area of the house where people might want to sit down, focusing on the area where games will be played.
Invite friends who like similar things as yourself
If possible, ask what guests’ dietary restrictions are ahead of time – it’ll save you from having to offer a bunch of different options
Don’t drink too much before people arrive! You’ll be stuck hosting things without even being present for half the event. Keep one glass on hand so guests know that they can get something to drink when needed, but don’t add more than two glasses – this will prevent you from becoming too tipsy as well.
Keep extra chairs around in case someone has an unexpected guest show up at the last minute. No one wants to feel like you weren’t expecting them.

I hope these tips along with our wine and cheese party games help you plan the perfect night for your friends and family. For more wine and cheese party ideas that don’t break the bank, check out this post for more ideas to make your gathering your guests are talking about for years to come.

DIY Resurrection Eggs Printable

February 22, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Easter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

For a fun Easter activity for the kids, download this Resurrection Eggs printable with Bible verses about Christ’s resurrection. These Easter scripture cards tell the Easter story. Pair with one dozen plastic Easter eggs for a cute Christian Easter craft.

As our family traditions begin to take shape, I have tried to be very intention about not getting lost in the commercial of the season. Easter has turned into bunnies, chicks and baskets of Candy. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the “reason for the season” hence the purpose for this printable resurrection eggs story.

What are resurrection eggs?

Resurrection eggs connect Easter eggs with the true meaning of the season. One dozen plastic eggs can quickly tell the Easter story through scripture verses found in the Gospels. Each egg is opened revealing a new Bible verse card and image.

There are a few ideas for how to use resurrection eggs. These can be uses for Christian teaching, telling the Easter story to your family, or even for an Easter egg hunt at home.

How to make DIY resurrection eggs at home

While there are places where you can find resurrection eggs, make your own homemade resurrection eggs instead using supplies you have around the house.

What goes in resurrection eggs?

In our resurrection eggs booklet PDF we give you all you need for your kit. This includes resurrection eggs printable bible verses and photos. The only resurrection eggs materials you need to provide are 12 plastic Easter eggs and an egg carton.

Supplies

12 Plastic Eggs
An Egg Carton
Permanent Marker – to number to eggs

Optional Supplies

However, there are a few supplies you can add to your resurrection eggs kit to “jazz it up!”

Leaf – outdoor or bay leaf to represent a palm branch at Jesus’ triumphal entry
Coins – 3 silver coins to represent Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver
Cracker – to represent the bread at the Last Supper
Scroll – a tiny piece of paper rolled into a scroll to represent Jesus’ prayer in the garden
Whip – a piece of leather or thick fabric to represent the soldier’s whipping Jesus
Crown – a tiny crown made from grass or a flower stem to represent the crown of thorns
Nails – 2 nails glues in a cross to represent the nails and the cross
Dice – a die to represent the soldier’s casting lots for Jesus’ clothes
Toothpick – a toothpick with one end broken off to represent the spear piercing Jesus’ side
Cloth – a scrap of cheesecloth or fabric (to represent Joseph wrapping Jesus in linen cloth)
Stone – a rock to represent the stone rolled in front of the tomb

These optional materials can be placed inside your plastic eggs with the accompanying scripture card. The 12th egg will remain empty for the empty tomb.

Resurrection Eggs Bible Verses

Since you are doing the Easter story with kids, we placed the resurrection eggs scriptures in ERV version. This is the Easy-to-Read bible version.

Matthew 21:9 – Some of the people were walking ahead of Jesus. Others were walking behind him. They all shouted, “Praise to the Son of David! ‘Welcome! God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Praise to God in heaven!”

Use a leaf with this bible verse to represent the palms waved when Jesus was on the donkey and the crowd shouted “Hosanna!”

Matthew 26:14-15 – Then one of the twelve followers went to talk to the leading priests. This was the follower named Judas Iscariot. He said, “I will hand Jesus over to you. What will you pay me for doing this?” The priests gave him 30 silver coins.

Add silver coins to this egg.

Matthew 26:26-28 – While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke off some pieces, gave them to his followers and said, “Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.” Then he took a cup of wine, thanked God for it, and gave it to them. He said, “Each one of you drink some of it. 28 This wine is my blood, which will be poured out to forgive the sins of many and begin the new agreement from God to his people.

Use a cracker to represent the body of Jesus and bread broken at the last supper.

Matthew 26:39 – Then Jesus went on a little farther away from them. He fell to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, don’t make me drink from this cup. But do what you want, not what I want.”

Roll paper into a scroll to represent the prayer in the garden of Gethsemane.

Mark 15:15 – Pilate wanted to please the people, so he set Barabbas free for them. And he told the soldiers to beat Jesus with whips. Then he handed him over to the soldiers to be killed on a cross.

Add cut leather to represent a whip.

Matthew 27:29 – Then they made a crown from thorny branches and put it on his head, and they put a stick in his right hand. Then they bowed before him, making fun of him. They said, “We salute you, king of the Jews!”

Twist a flower steam or vine into a small crown.

Matthew 27:31 – After they finished making fun of him, the soldiers took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be killed on a cross.

Make your own cross using hot glue. Place two nails into a cross shape and place in the egg.

John 19:23-24 – After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts. Each soldier got one part. They also took his tunic. It was all one piece of cloth woven from top to bottom. So the soldiers said to each other, “We should not tear this into parts. Let’s throw lots to see who will get it.” This happened to make clear the full meaning of what the Scriptures say: “They divided my clothes among them, and they threw lots for what I was wearing.” So the soldiers did this.

Dice in the egg will represent the lot that was divided.

John 19:33-34 – But when the soldiers came close to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead. So they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers stuck his spear into Jesus’ side. Immediately blood and water came out.

A broken toothpick in the egg can represent the spear that pieced Jesus.

Matthew 27:59-60 – Then Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a new linen cloth. He put Jesus’ body in a new tomb that he had dug in a wall of rock. Then he closed the tomb by rolling a very large stone to cover the entrance. After he did this, he went away.

Clean linen cloth or fabric can represent the burial cloth that covered Jesus’ body.

Matthew 27:65-66 – Pilate said, “Take some soldiers and go guard the tomb the best way you know.” So they all went to the tomb and made it safe from thieves. They did this by sealing the stone in the entrance and putting soldiers there to guard it.

Use a small rock or pebble to represent the stone covering the tomb.

Matthew 28:5-6 “The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, the one who was killed on the cross. But he is not here. He has risen from death, as he said he would. Come and see the place where his body was.”

This plastic egg will remain empty to represent the empty tomb.

Instructions

After your purchase and print your Easter digital download, the instructions are simple.

Cut out and put your Bible verse and accompanying item/image in your Easter eggs.
Using a permeant marker, number your Easter eggs 1-12 in order.
Open the eggs daily or all at once in order to tell the s tory of Jesus.

Christian Easter Crafts – Resurrection Gardens

Why do we celebrate Easter? As Christians, we celebrate Easter because it recognizes the RESURRECTION of Jesus. Jesus was killed by crucifixion on a Friday (Good Friday) and then actually came back to life on the following Sunday (Easter.) Easter is often adorned with bunnies, eggs, and pretty dresses, but there are many ways we can still incorporate the “cute” things of Easter by not forgetting the reason for this season.

Before you get started, be sure to save this Easter Games List PDF for gatherings large and small, family Easter parties, youth groups, neighborhood playdates and more. See more Easter Games for Kids.

Family Traditions To Start Now!

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

February 10, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Parenting, Pinterest, Seasonal, Social Media

Family traditions are important for creating family memories and solidifying family bonds and relationships. Take a look at this list of unique and traditional Family Traditions to Start Now!

Family Traditions

I was not raised in a big family. Obviously, with five kids, I have a big family now. As my family has grown, the amount we can do with extended family has decreased (if that makes sense.) In a more direct explanation, it is hard to fly seven people. When are are able to travel, not everyone wants to house a large group of people for holiday. While big and small holidays have become more and more about our immediate family, it has caused me to create our own NEW family traditions.

Have you ever sat and read the Family Tradition Hank Williams Jr. lyrics? Don’t. PSA they are not family friendly. If you are looking for family tradition examples, I promise you they will be far from the family traditions Hank sings about in his well-known Family Traditions country song. I will however, commit to one lyric…

“I’m just carrying on an ole family tradition…”

What is a family tradition mean?

Family traditions are a set of activities you repeat within a family. They can be traditional family activities, cultural traditions or they can be unconventional and modern family activities. Family traditions make each family unique as they are experiences that not every family will have. When you combine family traditions, you create your own unique family blueprint.

Why are family traditions important?

Family traditions are important for creating family memories. Family memories are important for creating family bonds. When conducting research, I learned most family traditions are not very big. Rather it is the family activity that is done together that is important. It is in those family bonding moments, memories are formed.

Family traditions enrich your life together and contribute to your child’s well-being and security. They create long lasting family memories.

How do you make family memories?

If you think about the photographs of one’s life, how many can you pull to the forefront of your mind? Memories are created when something out of the ordinary happens. The same “ole” day to day activities, will not create a new synaptic gap (photograph) in your mind. They are routine and can easily be done with little thought. When new activities come in to play, new things are experienced and new things are seen. They are indexed as a nerve connection (new file) in our mind. These are the dots that are added to our road map of life.

Think of this example as a real road map. You drive down the road form city to city. The places you recall are the places you stop. A restaurant, a hotel, a theme park, a landmark and more. When you are on the road, everything appears the same and does not create a new dot on your road map. However, when you park the car, get out and visit an attraction, a dot is added on your journey.

Examples of Family Traditions

I am sure you are asking yourself, What are some good family traditions? If you are looking to start your own family traditions and add memories to one’s childhood, take a look at these family traditions ideas. Let’s create some examples of family traditions to add dots on our road map of life.

Birthday Interview

We have a number of ways to celebrate Birthdays with Your Immediate Family. One easy tradition is this printable Birthday Interview. Ask your child the same questions every year and put them together in a time capsule (this does not have to be a box buried in the ground, keep it in a plastic bin in the closet!) You also can lead your kids on a Birthday Scavenger Hunt! | Frugal Coupon Living

Family Game Night

Turn one weekend night a month into a regular reoccurring Family Game Night. This is actually a funny family tradition for us, so many of our belly laughs and the laughs that make you cry come from a weekend game night. | Frugal Coupon Living

Take a look at our Family Game Night Bucket List. Set includes 45 Family Game Night games with instructions and supply list, 18 Minute to Win it Games, Charades & Scattergories Game Cards and Scavenger Hunt Template.

Family Game Night Bucket List Set

Family Bucket Lists

Start seasonal Family Bucket Lists. You can do a new bucket list every holiday or do fewer with one in winter, spring, summer, and fall or one the entire year. Keep this bucket list on the fridge and check off the activities as you go. Relieve your childhood with your own kids by using this Eighties Summer Bucket List too!| Frugal Coupon Living

Pray Together

An important family tradition is praying. It can be as simple as praying before bed. This has been an activity we have done every night for as long as we can remember. Try the ACTS Prayer Method (pray with 1.) adoration, confession, thanksgiving and close with supplication or requests.) Children thrive on routine and find security in deepening relationships. This gives them a glimpse into how you are feeling when you share your concerns and praise to the Lord. My husband and I have also created the tradition of listening to the Bible in a Year Podcast. This tradition has created deeper discussion among us has has been an excellent way to start the day.

Eat Dinner Together

Eating together is important for maintaining relationships. You can even have special dinner nights like Taco Tuesday, Meatless Monday or Sheet Pan Supper Wednesday. In order to stick to this dinner family tradition, start with just one night that is set apart. Perhaps give each member of the family a role in creating the complete recipe. One person can set the table, another create the prep, another serve the plates, etc.

Volunteer Together

Paying it forward is as much a gift for someone else as it is for you. Find a service project you can commit to for a season or once a month. There are many reasons to volunteer and instill the act of volunteering in our kids. Volunteering offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around us. It provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Plus, intrinsically, it gives to you just as much as it gives back to someone else!

Travel

Traveling is an example of doing something out of the norm. Take a cruise, go on a road trips, or even have a staycation week. Either way, make sure it is very different from your norm. If you are home, use a staycation to plan for future travel.

Dinner Questions for Conversation

Speaking of supper, download this set of nightly Dinner Conversation Starters. Dinner is the perfect occasion to communicate and often the opportunity is lost because of the distractions of the minutes. If dinner questions are not need, get to know your children and their day by every member sharing three good things about their day and one bad. This also provides an opportunity to focus on the “positive” yet still recognize the challenges a day can hold.

Cultural Family Traditions

Have you take a 23andme test? Did the results surprise you. Whether you are learning about a new culture or want to celebrate one you’ve already known, help your children celebrate their heritage by incorporating cultural family traditions. Visit a restaurant from your country, attend a cultural festival or cook a special meal on a certain day each year.

Annual Christmas Card

One family tradition you can keep (and you won’t regret this when the kids are out of the home) is taking an annual photo. It can be with a photographer or something information. Turn these yearly photos into annual Christmas Cards. One way to display your yearly Christmas cards is on a binder ring. Just add a hole punch to the corner. You can keep a binder ring for your family and a binder ring for the cards you get each year just like we see from Minted.

When writing your Christmas envelopes, make sure you take a look at these hand lettering tutorials and idea!

Pay It Forward Traditions

We have spoken many times about our family birthday idea. Take a look at this random act of kindness as a fun way to pay it forward on on your birthday at the Dollar Store or in the Dollar Spot at Target!

Valentine Family Tradition

This is one family tradition we do year after year and keep up for a long time. Add a sweet heart to your child’s do from February 1 to February 14th. The message is why they are a wonderful member of the family, a positive trait you see in them, etc. I even have my children each make a heart for each other once or twice during this period of time. It’s a great way to encourage your child.

Time Capsule Questions

Consider creating a time capsule or memory box for your child. This can include ticket stubs, baby teeth, photos from special events, special invitations, etc. Also add this Last Day of School Time Capsule. This set includes pre-K to 12th grade and is perfect for watching how your child has evolved.

Time Capsule Questions for Students Printable Set

Funny Family Traditions

They say laughter is the best medicine. Instead of following some of these traditional traditions for the family, try something unique only to your family. If you can incorporate humor, do it! For example, have a dress up night where you all eat hot dogs and Doritos on your best china. Play family board games including charades and Gestures (one of our favorites that always leads to belly laughs.) Take a look at these Weird Family Traditions from The Atlantic for some inspiration.

What are some of your favorite Family Traditions? I would love to hear from you so we can add to our list and share with others traditions for the family they might want to begin.

Minnie Mouse Party Cake Ideas

A Minnie party isn’t complete without themed treats. You don’t have to buy a cake from a bakery to make it memorable. This simple Minnie Mouse birthday cake is easy but still spectacular. Place three circular cakes together to create that classic mouse shape. Create the bow out of the cake pieces that you trim from the round cakes to make them level. Isn’t that clever? | The Soccer Mom Blog

What could be girlier than a pink polka-dot Minnie cake? This one is perfection! We love the fondant Minnie mouse ears and the giant pink Minnie bow on top. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Another low-cost Minnie birthday party solution are making your own dessert. Cupcakes made from a boxed cake mix are easy to dress up Minnie style. Top with vanilla or chocolate icing, add Oreo Minnie ears and a pretty pink fondant bow in the middle. | Ottawa Mommy Club

It doesn’t have to be February for you to make these adorable Valentine’s Day-themed Minnie cupcakes. They’re perfect for a child who loves bright and fun colors any time of year. They’re pretty but straightforward and can be tweaked to fit any color scheme you like by changing out the cookie icing and sprinkle colors. | Cutefetti

Minnie Mouse Birthday Food

Add these Disney sugar cookies with sprinkle dip to your dessert table. They’re colorful, fun, and delicious. The cream cheese dip pairs well with sugar cookies, but they’re tasty plain, too. A mickey mouse cookie cutter is easy to find on Amazon. Also take a look at our funfetti dip! | XOXO Bella

Minnie cheese and cracker snacks are the perfect way to feed your guests as they mingle. Kids and adults alike will enjoy them. Cut the cheese into mouse shapes, as you see here. The fruit skewers are a great idea, too. It’s always good to have a few healthy options for your guests. | Tanya Staab

Make some Minnie Mouse cookie pops to add to the Minnie Mouse dessert table, or send them home with your guests as favors. They’re easy to make with regular Oreos, mini Oreos, dipping chocolate, fun sprinkles, and lollipop sticks. | Living Locurto

How about this easy-peasy treat using tasty fruit like strawberries and blueberries. These strawberry and blueberry fruit skewers are another healthy choice, and they look like Minnie’s bow. We also love the “Hot Diggity Dogs” because you can’t have a Mickey Mouse event without hot dogs! | Kara’s Party Ideas

Minnie Birthday Party Décor Ideas

Create party hats with mouse ears for the guests to wear. The pink tulle ribbon is lightweight, and tulle is much more affordable than fabric bows, which is nice. The centerpiece that reads ‘ONE’ is equally adorable. You could also use decorated letters to spell out the child’s name on the table for a second birthday. | Hostess with the Mostest

Turn Styrofoam balls and shredded paper into a gorgeous Minnie Mouse centerpiece for the party. You’ll find loads of other cute ideas, too, like the polka dot tablecloth and napkins, the Minnie Mouse Rice Krispie treats, the simple polka dot cakes, and the mouse-shaped sandwiches. | Chickabug

Want to host a toddler birthday? A two year old can have a have a playful themed oh twodles girl birthday. There are great oh two-dles birthday party supplies for girls on Amazon including this mini mouse party décor set in pink/gold, pink/black or even red/black.

Make this spectacular Minnie backdrop with tissue paper pom-poms attached to a mouse-shaped paper cutout. Fluffing out the pom-poms can be time-consuming (and the pom-poms may get a little expensive), so you could always crumple black tissue paper to get a similar effect. | Jenny Cookies

Use these printable mouse ears to dress up the paper plates and make them look really special. The candy bar wrappers and napkin rings are super cute, too. | Chickabug

Mouse lanterns will look fantastic over your table. All you need to do is add mouse ears and a bow! | The Suburban Mom

Minnie Mouse Birthday Party Favors

Grab the free printable mouse heads to make these Mickey and Minnie Valentine Pops. This idea is genius and will be a big hit with kids of all ages. You’ll also need some clear plastic ornaments, and you’ll fill each half with M&Ms. That gets glued to the paper to make the mouse pops. Aren’t they gorgeous? | Down Redbud Drive

One of these Disney cuties coloring shirts will make an excellent favor or gift for the birthday girl. Make sure the kids use fabric markers to color them in. | Artsy Fartsy Mama

Hot chocolate bombs are really popular right now, so if you’re throwing a Minnie Mouse birthday party in the fall or winter, these cocoa bombs will make fantastic favors. | Dollar Crafter

Add these cute Minnie and Mickey bookmarks to the favor bags, along with an inexpensive Minnie book. Although these are made with felt, you can easily use cardstock if you’d like. | Hispana Global

Minnie Birthday Party Games and Crafts

Play pin the bow on Minnie Mouse! It’s fun and fits the Minnie’s bow-tique theme. This is super easy to make with a large black poster board and bows cut from construction paper or felt. | A Girl and a Glue Gun

Set up a crafting station with paper plates, paint, and these templates to make an adorable Minnie Mouse paper plate craft. | Simple Everyday Mom

A Minnie Mouse paper bag puppet is another cute option that the kids will love playing with once they’re finished! | Mombrite
