3. Let The Fun Begin/The Secret Party Ice Breaker
David X is famous. You may have seen his home on HGTV Amazing Homes. He created an advertising slogan that became famous for a medical device: And he loves….I mean loves… to throw elite and intimate parties. In Los Angeles every year he holds a bash for his close Hollywood friends and clients. He uses fortune cookies to get the fun rolling, create hysterical laughter and cause people to get to know each other at a “level” they would normally never get a chance to know one another.
Here’s what he does:
He sits down with one or two of his friends that he is hosting the event with. They meticulously go through the elite guest list and then they create a “custom fortune” for each and every guest. If there are 65 guests then he has me create 65 fortunes. Money is not an option. He only cares about giving his guests a unique, memorable and one of a kind experience. What do the fortunes say? Some are fun. Some are crazy, some are revealing, some are well known gossip connected to that person
They are obviously all inside jokes. But they get all the guests talking, laughing and gossiping in such a FUN way. Have your own “Inside Joke” party soon. Important tip. Make sure you create fortunes that are NOT too personal or cynical and make sure everyone has a good sense of humor. ☺
If this isn't quite your style, but you still need a fun icebreaker, you can customize fortune cookies with interesting questions. Like, "Ask the person beside you what absolutely terrifies them."
4. Help! Help! I Need 2 Fortune Cookies
If you suddenly find that you need one or two fortune cookies FAST….
No problem. Here’s a great inside secret you can do at home to help create fast, custom fortune cookies, I call it the Microwave Method.
Here’s all you do:
• Go to your favorite Chinese restaurant and simply ask for a few free cookies.
Sometimes they will make you pay 10-25¢ each.
• Write out your custom fortune and type it up. Make it exactly the same size as the fortune inside the cookie.
This is usually ½’ wide and 2 ½” long. Now type up your fortune and cut it out.
• Get your microwave ready. Simply place the fortune cookies inside the microwave. Make sure you take it
out of the wrapper. Set your microwave to 15 seconds and turn it on. As soon as the microwave shuts off
immediately (I mean immediately) grab the cookie and see if it is flexible (60 – 70% it is) Open the cookie,
remove the fortune, replace it with your own fortune and fold it back into cookie shape and hold until cookie cools. That’s it!!
