The game of cornhole has stood the test of time. Even in the time of the Internet and high-tech game consoles, a fun recreational game for the family has lived on. It is already a simple and safe pastime for the ages.
In this era when everything is personalized and customized, the cornhole industry will always keep up. There are now custom-made cornhole boards for every occasion or preference.
Cornhole Board Ideas for Weddings
For a wedding, you can have the picture of the bride and groom engraved on the board. You can choose any photo of the couple. It could be their engagement photo or a funny picture that they shared on social media. You can also get an artist to draw your portrait and have that as the design of your customized board.
Having their faces in the cornhole board is probably the epitome of personalization, but there are other subtle ways to celebrate a wedding through a customized board. The couple can have their initials on the board and have their wedding motif as the background. They can also place a hashtag. This design is based on the wedding theme rather than the couple’s photos.
Other wedding ideas could have a complete package with the accessories as part of the theme. They could have cornhole bags with pictures of the bride and groom (a humorous twist since they will be throwing them) or have other designs incorporated in the accessories.
Family Reunions
Another occasion which can call for customized cornhole boards is a family reunion. Cornhole is an ideal game for a family reunion. Gathering around different generations in an outdoor barbeque definitely sounds like an American tradition. With this in mind, custom boards can have a patriotic symbol, like the American flag or the Bald Eagle, and the family name engraved.
If the patriotic angle is not for you, then you can have a family symbol or heirloom as the centerpiece theme of your board. If there is a tradition or an achievement that your family is famous for, then you can place that on your board.
Graduation/Class Reunion Boards
Aside from family, your school is another source of pride. Representing your school, college, or university in a custom-made cornhole board is one way to express your support. A typical design has the college mascot or moniker along with the college name or college logo. The paint must be in the official colors of the university. This is a great design for your graduation party or any reunion held after that. The custom boards will be the centerpiece and also a souvenir for the entire batch.
4th of July/Christmas
A custom-made board to celebrate the two occasions most popular for family gatherings, the 4th of July and Christmas, is also a common option. For the 4th of July, the American flag or any of the National symbols can be the centerpiece. For Christmas, there are many symbols for the holidays such as Santa Claus, reindeer, or a Christmas tree.
Custom-made cornhole boards are creative ways to express your pride and represent your group or family. It is one way to show the bond of kinship and camaraderie, just like the game of cornhole itself.
