Hello all,
i've had a party planned for ages for my birthday - it was meant to be a bbq but forecasts so far seem to think it may well be tipping it down. lots of people are coming (well, enough, still quite a small do by comparison, i'd think less than 20 will actually show), but although space isn't the problem (more room inside than out) and cooking isn't (big cooker) i do find myself a bit nervous about what i'm going to do with all these people. normally the whole barbeque involves a certain amount of interest - is it alight? will it stay alight? has everyone had a go at prodding it? - which will now be sadly absent. i went to a eurovision party the other night which was really good. it started with the bbq, then eurovision, then everyone had a go on singstar on the ps2. gently structured and everyone was entertained.
i'm just trying to think of things i can provide for amusement. there will be food and drink aplenty, a mixture of different friends who i'm sure will get along... i don't have a ps2 but we have a wii and xbox360 - could offer wii fit or wii sports or something, gta4, but could see all this getting a bit sad if it turns into a computer games fest.
so any ideas would be gratefully received. i could let them snuggle my house rabbits but i wouldn't want the buns to be stressed by an excess of random people. living room and dining room are about the same size so i could put something in one to attract people in there....
