When I was a kid my mother used to cook humongous sunday dinners and family and friends from all over would stop by and visit. It was a great time. After my mother passed, my syblings would have a party every weekend at one or the ohers house. We would party every friday, saturday and sunday evenings. Card games, board games, booze, music, dancing, FUN, family and friends. It was awesome. I left it and went to the military. That was about 30 years ago. I am looking to start this up again and I want it to be fun, but so much has changed. What games are available today, all I see are kids playing ps3 or something. What about music, people yelling at me and calling it rap does not do it for me. Is booze appropriate? What are you doing for large social gatherings?

if you wish to make what you do 30 years ago but with the new games just try to make some kind of cybercoffee and then call them to the party or maybe you can make a game house with ps3 wii and xbox 360 or even a lan house with 1 pc to each ^^ and then everyone in one pc talking by MSN thanks, Scorpionok.

Thank you Scorpionok, those are great ideas. A little expensive, but worth looking into. Have you tried any of them, and if so, which works best?

the cyber coffee is the best idea because they eat while chat by msn =p and them you can make those meat on barbecue. but i think they will prefer popcorn from microwave or hamburger made in the hot plate xD thanks, Scorpionok.

Much the same as you when we were children we used to go to Grandmas and have some great get togethers,they were always fun,they had no booze,just tea,and there were sandwiches and jelly,and cake,we played charades and we just had so much fun,but now the kids have all the toys of the moment and they dont know how to play the old fashioned games.

Ella1bella, You are so right, all they want to do is play video games and get High! Such a waste. But maybe like the wii we can make transform the old fashioned games into something they would enjoy. maybe. Thank you.

I think you can play a lot of games when there is a huge gathering. You can play Tambola, truth or dare etc. Cards are always handy and can involve a lot of people. These games are evergreeen and can be played anytime. Apart from that you can play newspaper dancewhich nvolves music alongwith the dance. Will keep posting you once I get some more group games.

Drop Of Rain, that is a beautiful name. I hope you are female, because that name is perfect for a beautiful lady. And if you are not female, OOPS! Thank you for the reminder that the traditional is still good. I appreciate that. But can you tell me how to do the newspaper dance. It sounds intriguing.
