DIY Beer Bong Tutorial ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey [High]ve! Miss Crackedy-Crack Pipe here! I've been noticing so many DIY tutorial posts in blogland lately, I thought I'd spew out my own little crafting instructional guide! So I racked my brain trying to come up with cute centerpiece ideas or a homemade bouquet tutorial, but the one project that kept coming to mind was something that Mr. CP and I have been making for YEARS.
Beer Bongs!
The CP's have had a long time love affair with the "Suds Funnel of Glory", so why would we even THINK of excluding it from our wedding day?! Beer Bongs are a GREAT way to get the guests involved - think relay races, bets on who can bong the most, and prizes for the brave older folk who give it a go! So grab your groomy and head over to your local hardware store, 'cause everything you'll need for your special "Big Day Beer Bong" is there and ready for assembly. Here's what you'll need for the most basic beer bong model:
1. The actual funnel. We usually go with the modestly-sized model that holds 1-1.5 cans of beer. However, if you're gonna have big drinkers in the house I suggest going with the slightly larger model that holds 3-4 cans of beer.
2. The tube. This is important. If you get a tube that's too short, the beer will come down WAY too aggressively, and may result in failure on the participant's part. We cannot be responsible for getting beer all over our guest's nice wedding attire.
3. The clamp. Without this sucker, the beer will surely seep out of the funnel. Place the clamp around the tube where the funnel has been inserted and tighten. You may want to do a test beer just to make sure the clamp is secure enough. No one wants to waste beer on the Big Day, yo!
And here's how you use it:
That's me. Since the tube was pretty long on this particular model, I chose to have a "spotter." The seasoned beer bong pro may opt to forgo the assistance of a "spotter," but please take caution. Only let your guests fly solo if they have already proven to you they can bong a whole beer without any mistakes or spills. This is CRUCIAL.
Sound like your kinda party? Then what are you waiting for?! Get out there and put the FUN in funnel, yo!

Awesome!!! Eric and I totally talked about doing this. There is a huge stair case at the venue and we were thinking of doing 2 story beer bong. Freaking hilarious Miss Crack Pipe!
ReplyDeleteHigh-larious, Cracker! Josh actually shot-gunned a beer at a wedding a few years ago. Can't say we'll have any of that at our wedding, but who knows with the crowd we're inviting.
ReplyDeleteoh the beer bong :) love it!
ReplyDeleteLove it, it's such a great activity to get guests involved!
ReplyDeleteSeriously I love you!!
ReplyDeleteIf you (Ms CP) have a beer bong, you know we're all crashing that wedding. Not like you'll care, two or three hits/chugs later. (hmm, apparently my beer bong terminology is fuzzy. as are most of my beer bong recollections.)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!! Love it!
ReplyDeletenothing says "love and trust" like a beer bong. and a you MUST have a beer bong "piece" when you launch the [high]ve!
ReplyDeleteI think that as a current "cookie cutter" Weddingbee, I should be insulted by some of the comments. But Miss Crack Pipe cracks me up, and this post is especially awesome. Keep the paro-bees coming!!!
ReplyDelete(But perhaps we could all be a bit more united against the WIC and a bit less judgy of the current Bees? I don't want to speak for other generations of Bees, but I know our group came in excited to share diverse viewpoints, ideas, and styles.)
