Make your own bar crawl!

1. Create a list of all of the places you would like to go (get ideas from friends or pick your favorite bars). Limit to 5 or 10, or things will get crazy!
   1. Make sure bars are big enough to accommodate your party.
   2. Call the venues to make sure that they will allow you to be there
   3. Add all of your destinations to a map (use google maps) and put them order you would like to go there in. You can either print them out or email them to your guests.
   4. Come up with a theme for your crawl! Some ideas-seasonal, sports teams, vacation, etc. Make sure your guests know so they can plan accordingly.
      1. Consider making your invites to save on money
      2. Make sure you map is pretty big so people can read it with beer goggles on!
      3. (optional) come up with drink around your theme to get at each venue
      4. Create invitations for your guests with your theme. You can also make shirts, checklists, or anything creative to get your guests excited.
      5. Pick your date and time, and have a blast!

Some additional things…

-make sure to have sober drivers and make sure all of your guests know when the drivers will be leaving particular bars.

-get a list of phone numbers for all of your guests along with numbers of local cab companies

-mark ATM stations your map

-to make a night out of it consider renting a party bus that can follow you and your guests around
