Hey everyone! Looking for some opinions on wedding social prizes. What do you like to see on the social prize tables when attending a social? What has been the coolest/most unique prize you've come across when attending a wedding social? Any help relating to this would be much appreciated!

ive seen people do a lotto tree... all sorts of lottery scratch tickets

My sister had an Xbox one at her social! That was an awesome prize

a wide variety is best something for everyone!  
 
golf package  
tool package  
dinner package  
outdoor package  
garden package  
travel package  
computer/game package  
spa package  
kid package (grandparents, aunts buy more tickets)  
 
I think the coolest one I have seem is kitchen packages it had packages of gourmet mixes and dips and tea towels, dish clothes and a few interesting kitchen gadgets.

The one that I have seen that everyone went crazy over is the party pack. The wedding party bought a cooler and each member supplied a 26. They propped the cooler us with a list of the alcohol included. That one made a lot of money.  
 
The packs are always good, like the kitchen pack mentioned or the camping pack.  
 
I saw a coach purse that generated a lot of interest/tickets.  

Night in a hotel  
Date night- dinner and movie gift cards  
Zoo membership  
Free pizza gift certificates  
Bbq  
Patio chairs and cooler

Kitchen aid mixer

We did a trip for 2 to Vegas as our big prize. Was 3 or 4 night can't remember was a few years back. At the time the package cost us around $800-9ish. We sold tickets 1 for $10 or 3 for $20. I will just say we more than doubled our money and then some.

Spa package, camping package, lottery package, dog themed package, wine package.... "Sexy" package, Candy package!

Forget that with the new law that passed April 1, 2014. Any raffle tickets (with the exception of the silent/rainbow auction tickets (the packs of 25 rip tickets)  
That no raffle ticket can be sold for more then $2 each. Including the 50/50 draw.  
 
AND don't forget that with lotto trees or boards you Cannot deface the tickets in any way shape or form. This means no hole punching or taping the tickets.  
 
Also, as you can tell by my name. I'm a Mary Kay consultant. I can donate a prize if you'd like.

For us the best one was a litre of Ivomec great for the cattle crowd.  
 
Most action on a raffle at a social that I have seen (don't go to a lot of socials) was for a pair of Winnipeg Jets tickets.

Our social is this coming Sat in Newdale and i made a lotto tree. It was very easy (& yes u can use "some tape" just dont cover winner's barcode or retailer barcode. After seeing this list i feel we went overrr bored LOL  
 
*also if making a lotto tree make sure to buy a lotto package that has atleast 1 garunteed win lol

Awesome ideas and comments everyone, its all very much appreciated and by all means keep it coming lol. We're having a new years eve social and so far for prizes have a trip to las vegas, the start of a kitchen package (mixing bowls so far) and we've been tossing around the idea of having a bbq or an outdoor fryer.
