What are some fun games to play at a get together?

Question

I have a women's group and I am planning an event to be held at my home in June. We are going to have cocktails, appetizers and then go into game night. I want to play interactive games like Outburst, Guesstures, Scattegories, Trivial Pursuit, Cranium, Charades, Pictionary, etc. I will also have cards and dominoes for the old school people.

Most of these women are in there late 30's and early to mid 40's. Some of them may be a little older as well. I am almost 30, so I don't want this event to be boring. I want to keep the party alive so people don't get sleepy or want to go home early.

What are some other games I can play with the group that are fun and cause a lot of laughter? They don't have to be board games. I am planning to have a 3 to 5 question survey and everyone tell a little about themselves, but I really want this to be fun. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Taboo is good (a little reminiscent of the game show Pyramid)

Flux is also pretty fun, depending on how many people you've got - that one might be a hint harder to come by.

Answer 2

You could have a pamper party.

Tell all the women to bring their make up and beauty treatments

Then you could all just chill out with some face mask and stuff

Answer 3

You sound like you are going to be having a fun party, I want to go! You sound like you have enough games and I think the survey is good too! Doesn't sound like it's going to boring at all! Don't stress, just have fun, and get lots of help!
