Have a buffet -style lunch or dinner. Have everyone make a large foil pan of the food of their choice. Have everyone make something different and write down who's bringing what so that way you won't have too much of one thing. Have some people bring paper plates, cups, napkins, spoons, forks, knives, beverages, ice, etc.

Make each table's decoration the color of that month's gemstone:

January - Garnet (wine / burgundy)

February - Amethyst (purple)

March - Aquamarine (pale, pale blue)

April - Diamond (clear, iridescent)

May - Emerald - deep green

June - Pearl or Alexandrite (round white, or color-changing purple/red)

July - Ruby - deep red

August - Peridot- lime green

September - Sapphire - cornflower to navy blue

October - Opal or Rose Zircon (color-changing white or light pink)

November - Topaz - golden

December - Blue Zircon - light blue

There are flowers for each month too, but I don't know them:) .... Maybe print up general horoscopes for each month; roll them and tie them with the right colored ribbon, at each place setting.......
