It’s super-interesting to hear some of the responses (from some people having been an extra on a movie set to just simple facts like, “I speak three languages”). Most of the responses are basic, but when someone says, “I went to the University of Alabama…” there is always someone else who has a connection to that. It’s a great way to get to know people.

That sounds soooo painful. I guarantee not everyone finds it fun.

NP. I understand when people do this in a classroom, even though I personally loathe it. But at a dinner party for adults? My god…no.

Offer those big sticker name tags and ask everyone to put their name and where they are from (or college…as long as everyone went to college) or occupation. Or favorite band or movie.

Sort everyone into two groups: those who love Love Actually and those who hate it. Then you’ll have two teams. Next: take a Family Feud approach (using teams, not individuals) to guess the best holiday movies, the top grossing movies of your generation, top songs, whatever. The team approach to family feud is fun.

Maybe just leave some games out like Jenga? People can play if they want.

People will strike up conversations naturally over food. Or just stick to the group they came with. Whatever. Offer games but not everyone will play. You don't need to keep that tight of a rein on people. They are adults. They've been to a party before and know what to do.

+2. The last thing I’d want on thanksgiving is to feel like I am in some team building exercise.

Ask everyone to rank the Kardashians from least awful to most awful.

Play pin the tattoo on Angelina Jolie.

LMAO. These people are adults not teens.

OP, treat people on a holiday like adults and don’t subject them to forced fun. Let things happen organically. Don’t even worry about the men. They will find the beer and the tv for football and have a great time.

It’s the job of a good host to make sure guests are comfortable. Look around, see if people are engaged. If someone is off alone, approach them and introduce them to someone else and help them start a conversation. Refill drinks and offer apps.

But please, for the love…no “icebreakers.”

I would never return to your house if you did this to me.

If the party is filled with dc strivers—a mix of Feds, lawyers, lobbyists, and nonprofit staff, then do this:

Sort everyone into two groups—those who love Love Actually and those who think it’s a load of misogynistic filth—and have an old school debate. Let’s settle this age old debate once and for all.
