Ideas and inspiration

• Have some Cardiomyopathy UK information materials visible, so your partygoers understand why you're fundraising and where the money will go.
• Display your donations pot where everyone can see it. Or make it as wacky and bright as possible so that no-one can miss it!

• Set up a JustGiving page and send the link with your invite, so anyone not able to make it can still make a donation.
• Set up a JustTextGiving code from your fundraising page, and put your code on your donation pot - just in case anyone has forgotten their cash!
• Have a Great British Bake Off-style judging event.

• Ask friends to bring their own heart-shaped biscuits and have a 'guess the flavour' competition.
• Have a biscuit-themed quiz - do your guests know their custard creams from their Garibaldis?
• Have a treasure hunt, with tricky clues leading to the final prize of some delicious biscuits.
• Have a raffle during your party - ask friends/family/colleagues to donate prizes.
• Have a biscuit icing competition - who's a natural with a piping bag?

• Sugar cube stack - split up into teams and see who can make the tallest sugar cube tower in 30 seconds!
• Teapot art - See which of your guests can draw the best tea pot - BLINDFOLDED!

• Lookabout: a traditional Victorian game - hold up a teapot for all your guests to see. Have them leave the room and hide the teapot in a place where it can be seen, but not obviously. Have your guests come back into the room and quietly hunt for the teapot. When a guest spots the teapot, they take a seat rather than announcing that they've found it. The last player left standing must choose and hide a new item (for example a saucer, or a sugar cube).
