Patriotic tableware
Use disposable plates, cups, and napkins to make cleanup easier after the game. Look for sets with stars, stripes, fireworks, or classic red, white, and blue designs
Tablecloths and table runners
Tablecloths are one of the fastest ways to transform your Bunco tables. Use one tablecloth per game table, then add dice, pencils, score sheets, and a small centerpiece.
Mini flags and centerpieces
Mini American flags are inexpensive, easy to place, and perfect for Bunco tables. Add them to mason jars, small vases, prize baskets, or food trays.

Set Up Your Bunco Tables
For traditional Bunco, you will usually need tables of four players. Each table should have everything players need before the game starts.
Place these items on each table:
- 3 dice
- 4 pencils
- Bunco score sheets
- One tally sheet
- A table marker
- A small bowl for dice
- A festive centerpiece
To keep the party organized, label each table clearly. You can use printable table markers or small patriotic signs for the head table, middle tables, and low table.
Create a Simple 4th of July Food Table
A Bunco party does not need a full dinner. Finger foods, snacks, and simple desserts work best because guests can grab food between rounds.
