Dinner Party Games
Planning Dinner Party Games into your Evening
When planning a dinner party, games are an essential part of the evening.
The most important part of the evening, however, revolves around dinner party games.
Games set the tone for the evening, and serve as icebreakers to get people into the mix. They build energy and enthusiasm, and get strangers talking with each other.
Here are some brief tips on how to include dinner party games into the mix:
- Add an element of secrecy
Give people code names that need to be decoded, or have a secret that has to be found out.
Secrets are always something people look to figure out, and built a positive buzz around the evening
- Strategically set teams
Guys vs. Girls in any competition has one dynamic, couples against each other has a different one, and splitting up couples to have them compete has an even different dynamic.
Setting these teams up is a great way to help people meet, or build energy in the room depending on the status of people's relationships
- Alternate between high and low energy
Always having high energy games makes the enthusiasm go down after a while - if you're always running around there's no chance to build.
Starting with low energy, then building to high, back to low, and back to high lets people refresh and get back into the game.
- Keep the snacks and drinks flowing
Making sure people don't get hungry is a way to help them keep their focus. Keep bringing drinks and food and they'll stay on task with the dinner party games.
