Party down tribulations

Blog Prompt: What do you consider a good party? Who (and how many) should be there? Music? Food? Conversation? Location? Party Games???

Party down dude. So who’s having the party?

I like intimate (less than 10) parties with close friends, finger sandwiches and hors d’oeuvres, glass of wine, lots of conversation and games like trivia or charades. If there are only 4 of us, then a dinner party is in order. This is when I get to show off my culinary skills and I love it. Afterwards we can sit in the living room with an aperitif and talk.

Lately though have been the dock parties. They are still pretty intimate, but no finger sandwiches or wine, instead you get plied with Pan’s famous burgers and a beer. There is a restaurant close to the dock, which has an outside bar with live music that wafts it way over to the boat, and dock. It is loud enough to enjoy, soft enough to be able to talk without having to yell. Not much room for games, but plenty for conversation.

I'm fond of the smaller group of buddy's type party. Usually involves a cookout of some sort, beer and lots of laughs.

You would like our dock parties then. You will have to find your way down here sometime.

I prefer smaller groups too, big ones are too overwhelming!

Oh, small group parties have alot going for them! However, larger groups can party pretty good too!

Intimate dinner parties scare me! First of all, I'd have to cook (go ahead and put 911 in your speed dial because you will need it if you eat my cooking!). Second of all, I would feel too much attention is on me as the hostess and I don't like that. I would rather float around a big party and make sure everyone is eating, drinking and having fun.
