What is No Shave November?
No Shave November, also known as Movember or #noshavenovember (wink!), began as a charitable movement. During the month of November, men would refrain from shaving, trimming, or otherwise grooming their facial hair as a way to bring about cancer awareness. It was started in 2009 and has since partnered with the American Cancer Society. Since that partnership, the movement has raised over 1 million dollars. That’s pretty fan-stache-tic, right?! It’s still in full force and has given the mustache a whole new meaning.
What’s Included in Your No Shave November Kit
Taking inspiration from the movement’s ultra-positive origins, we’ve come up with an easy game kit that’s fun and a total hoot! Take a look at your included No Shave November printables below, and keep reading for more details on how to use them.

How great are those?! Keep reading to take a closer look at each of the items and for tips and tricks on how to assemble them.
No Shave November Invite
First, let everyone know about the Stache Bash with a printable invite. All you need to do is print, cut, and fill in the info. After that, go ahead and drop it off and get ready to boogie!
No Shave November Party Sign
Next, let your guests know they’re in the right place by displaying your “Comb On In” party sign. Simply affix it to your front door or mailbox! After that, you could add some coordinating balloons for extra pizazz. You could also add a dish at the front of the house filled with stick-on mustaches. Invite your guests to put one on!
Mustache Photo Booth
Once the guests have arrived, it’s time to get the party started! One of our absolute FAVORITE aspects of this No Shave November event is the Mustache Photo Booth. We’ve included a photo booth sign and four different styles of mustaches to be used as props (for those who didn’t go for the stick-on option). Print as many as you like, cut, and attach to skewers or straws. Whip up a fancy backdrop (like this one here!) and go to down snapping pics! Everyone will love showing off their newly found facial hair, and you’ll have a fabulous way to remember the event. Don’t forget to post in on SM with the hashtag #noshavenovember.
Food Tents & Straw Toppers
Give your guests some liquid refreshment with a fabulous food station. Just grab some sodas, snacks, and straws, and we’ll take care of the rest! Display the “Wet Your Whiskers” sign in front of the drinks, making sure to have the mustache-topped straws nearby.
To create the straws, simply cut out the smaller-sized mustaches. After that, affix them slightly down the straw with tape or another adhesive. Finally, go ahead and pop them into everyone’s drinks. We promise your guests will look adorable sipping their beverages – be sure and take some pics!
No Shave November Game
Another fun No Shave November idea would be to hold a Beard and Mustache Competition. However, this one requires a bit more planning. For example, you’ll need to alert all of the male guests (well in advance of the event) that if they’d like to participate, they’ll need to begin growing their facial hair NOW! For instance, line them up and have everyone vote on who has the best beard or stache. Reward the winner with a prize of your choosing!
Is this an absolutely fan-stache-tic idea or what?! If you’re a group date lover, you have to check out more of our group dates. For instance, our Murder Mystery Group Date and our Bunco Group Date Night are total hits!
