Wedding bingo
Bingo has been one of the most popular programs it the recent weddings of my friends. Weddings are also the main reason to implement this bingo generator, as the need has been so obvious. Almost all the couples who got married have done their own wedding bingo in Excel.
It easily takes several hours to implement and print the unique wedding bingo cards. Now the job can be done with a mobile phone in a few minutes.
Especially at a wedding of more than ten people, making bingo cards by hand would take ridiculously long time compared to a party of a few people. That’s why the bingo ticket generator makes it especially easy for wedding planners.
The bingo generator is perfect for making wedding bingo, as the text field contains wedding-themed bingo texts by default (in Finnish at the moment…).
Excursion bingo
Bingo tickets may be needed for student excursions.
No need to go into details about how students use these bingo cards. Those how need to know… they know.
Bingo tickets for a company evening
In one of my employer’s parties, bingo was a way to introduce people to each other.
Various hobbies and personal characteristics were printed in the bingo cards. The task was to find a person who fits the description.
Why is the bingo generator free?
The application for printing bingo forms was relatively quick to make and the need is huge. Even after a few usage times the time spent on development has paid back in the scale of the society.
The server technology used is extermely resource and cost efficient. The popularity should skyrocket, so that the costs of the bingo application would rise to even one euro per month.
Bingo generator information security
The bingo application saves anonymous data to count page visits. Read more about data protection of the bingo generator.
