This isnt a swingers party

There goes my post

[Shalyn]

Seems like you have everything you need. If you really want, get some kind of karaoke and/or guitar hero game, people usually have a lot of fun with those, but it's always better just to keep it simple with music and booze so that people socialize more and keep themselves entertained :D

[ikariiiii]

the most important part to having a good party is being a good host. talk to everyone and dont get locked into one thing. all those games and everything you have are great but they're nothing if people dont feel comfortable. sometimes you have to work a bit to get people to participate but it's definetly worth it in the end.

[Neosutra]

Why cant everyone just be swingers =/. Swingers parties are so much easier to have.

Thanx for the advice, ill try some of the suggestions.

2 guys from a Halloween party I went to had some issues getting home. One guy got a booty call from his ex wife and it took 5 guys to pin him down until he passed out. The second had the sense to walk home even though it was 5+ miles along the highway. I found out the next day someone got killed along the same highway. I ran into him at the next party, but scared the hell out of me to hear about some shit like that.

[Penthesilea]

so. here's a fun game we do (if you're into baseball): we play wiffle ball with a few modified rules. one, you keep your beer on the first base path, when you get a hit, you have to run with your bottle. most of the time people forget to pick it up, and being as it's wiffle ball, you get to peg ppl as they run back for it and start running back to 1st.

i need some more rules to do this.

also, i think someone might have mentioned it here before, but i need some help developing a few courses for my Tour De Franzia party.

Nah man, Shue had a different meaning.....

I didn't read all the other responses because I'm fucking lazy. But here's a few games we would play. And yes Abraxas that would be the chicken dip recipe lol.

Beer Pong - Shit you can even use your Pool Table for the cups.

Flip Cup - Two plastic cups facing down(wide end is face down) for each person. Keep flipping them until one person manages to get their cup to land so you can pour a drink in it. Then hand said drink to the loser who has to chug it.

Quarters - Bounce quarters into a shotglass. Whoever does it picks someone playing to take a shot.

Lord of the Rings - Anytime Sam or Frodo gaze at each other longingly, take a shot.

Family Guy - Anytime there is a cutscene(like a flashback etc) you have to drink until it ends.

We would all be dead of alchohol poisoning by the end of the night.

[Brill Weave]

Yeah that one isn't exactly the safest one. Nor is the Lord of the Rings one depending on which movie you watch. Those two can very quickly go south. Your safest bet is beer pong.

[Neosutra]

The problem is, I dont know if these people are too old for beer pong. Id like to have fun and get them drunk, or at least a little tipsy, but dont want the party to have that college feel.

On a related note: Menace to Society - Drink every time someone says "fuck" Just make sure you have a LOT to drink handy.

[zoobernut]

Neo if you don't want the party to have a college feel to it avoid any drinking games. Just put on some good music have lots of snacks and drinks and play pool/talk. That should be more than enough.

Drinking games to me make it feel like a highschool or college party.

[Brill Weave]

If you're looking to avoid the college party feel, just do what zoob suggested. If you have a dartboard or something like that, have an impromptu cricket or 501 tournament. Otherwise just put some music on or a movie and rack em up. Let's face it, the music/movie is just background noise anyways. The only people that are going to pay attention to it are the wallflowers who aren't interacting to begin with.

Or you could always have a pig roast. You could always just toss on the Wii. Most people are at the very least curious as to what it's like to play since it's a potential exercise device etc.
