Party This Weekend

[BobbyBobBob]

Its my wifes birthday this weekend and we're having people round to celebrate. About 20 or so people altogether, age range from about 23 to 50. Plus a few kiddiwinks.

We were going to have an inflateable duel gladiator thing in our back garden for a bit of a laugh plus a BBQ. The idea of the inflateable was to save people just standing around talking and to do something a bit different but after looking at the forecast I'm not sure thats going to get the go ahead.

So it looks as though we'll be indoors. Although the FA cup final is on which will occupy a lot of the people there for some of the time, I'm hoping people on here can give some ideas as to what to do to get people having fun indoors. I hate the idea of people at my house and they're just sat about talking in their groups. I've got some games in mind but I'm sure there is other things to do?

Thanks

how about a quiz afternoon?

Games like Articulate can be hilarious, especially if a few drinks have been had. It is easy to involve quite a few people too.

(i) Get them pissed as early as possible. Arrangement for taxis home worth the stress-relief.
(ii) Hold raffle on first, second etc scorers in cup-final. Prizes up to you - funny-toys but funny anything - don't forget wooden spoon for worst miss judged by you or drunken throng by acclaim!
(iii) Non-footies - challenge them to cite best QI, quite interesting, fact or reveal most embarrasing moment or other such game - like am I lying about silly experience? Record it!
(iv) Kiddiewinks - suprvised sports e.g footie or, indooors, pillow-fight, hand-wrestling (pentathlon).
Good luck Bobby and wife xxx.
SIQ.

I appreciate your thinking that guest are just sat about talking in their groups.i think you can arrange some funny game and ensure that every guest have to attend that game.i hope every guest will enjoy.when any guest win the game then you can request to him or her that to share the best moment in his life with partner like boyfriend,girlfriend or wife.Its my thinking.you can try http://birthdayplanet.net/party for more birthday parties funny idea.

LOTS of alcohol and then people won't give a rat's about anything else. By the way, a very happy birthday to your wife. Whatever the day brings, weather wise, I hope she has a great time xx
