[quote=Anonymous]I’ve done it in a 3000 sq ft home. The original plan was to do it outside but it rained. I was amazed that it worked but we have a CA open concept type house. The entry way opens into the living room, wide hallway is open to dining room, kitchen opens to a very large family room etc.

I positioned tables in the dining room and living room. Obviously seating was closer than a normal dining room table. I borrowed the table linens, dinnerware, silverware etc from DH’s grandmother who used to host huge parties. I moved coffee tables into the office. I moved some of the living room chairs into the family room. I set up serving tables against the entry wall across from the living room and put appetizers on the kitchen island counter that faces the family room. I cleaned out the guest room next to the family room, put a bunch of toys and games in there.

It actually worked really well. Everyone chatted and mingled in the family room. We had family photos running on a loop on the large flat panel TV, no access to FOX, enough booze and seating for boomers pre diner. I set up a mini bar in the corner of the family room and one of the boomers played bartender.

Total count was 67.[/quote]
