I need party games!?
Hello everyone!
I need party games. I host a fashion swap or home fashion swap every year. I also do candle parties, cometic/spa parties, and jewelry parties. I have ran out of party games for these types of parties. I 'm looking forward to your suggestions.
Answers:
here's a few games that i've plyed at different parties that i have had.
Two Truths - One Lie - Get To Know You Game
This is a great game for people who are trying to get to know each other. Everyone sits in a circle and takes turns telling 3 things about themself, one of them is a lie.
an example:
I have been to every continent in the world.
I won't use green towels.
I once had a ferret but it was killed by my cat.
Then everyone else votes on which is the lie. It's really funny to see what people come up with for their lie and you learn a lot of funny truths too.
Don't Say That Word
Give each person a sticker to wear on their collar or lapel when they
arrive. Then make an announcement that any time the word _____ (could be any word that will possibly be said that evening - the name of the company everyone works for, or a soft drink, or any basic word) then the person who hears another person use the word takes the speakers sticker and puts it on himself. At the end of the evening the person with the most stickers wins. People are vigilant in the beginning about saying the taboo word but they soon forget!
Silent Charades.
On little pieces of paper, write up a bunch of things to act out in pairs. You will need to know how many people are going to play so that you have the correct number of papers. (2 pieces of paper with the same thing on it--ie: ballerina, ballerina, elephant, elephant, etc.) Put them all into a hat mixed together and have everyone draw out one peice of paper. When everyone has a charade, say go, and everyone begins to act out the charade on their piece of paper. The object of the game is to find the person with the same charade as yours. When you find the person that has the same thing as you, sit down on the ground.
After the game is over, have everyone ask their partner what they were, if they were wrong they are out. There can also be a prize for the first pair that sits down. This game is the most fun when you can make each thing pretty difficult to act out.
hopw these work for you...have fun!

A group of friends and I played SCENE IT: BATTLE OF THE SEXES version. It was so much fun! Plays best with boys and girls. Taboo is also really fun
I've found that Nekked Twister is usually a crowd pleaser at parties. However, an all-female party might not find it quite as fun.
Heck, you never know though! You might give it a try! If you do though, be sure and take videos and then post back here with the YouTube link, OK?
Hi. Sounds like you have tons of fun at your candle parties, cometic/spa parties & jewelry parties.
What about making up a game sheet with a list of the candles you sell and turn it into a crossword puzzel or a guessing game. Just write the list words on the left and do your puzzle on the right. Easy to do on the computer.
Hope you enjoy. Patti
Who Am I?
Best with about 8 or more people
Good both as an ice breaker and with a tight group of people
Equipment: Index Cards or something similar
Write the names of famous people on index cards and tape one card to the back of each guest.
Have everyone walk around in the same room, and instruct them not to mention the name on each person's back, but to talk to everyone as if they are the person on their card.
As people begin to correctly guess their identity, they have to continue to treat the people who still don't know their identity like the people whose name is taped to their back.
When everyone guesses their "true identity" then the game is over.
Note: If the group of people has something in common (e.g. all from the same class or a club), it's fun to have themed people and inside jokes when choosing the people.
Also, this game can be played as an entry game -- when each person arrives at the party, he receives a person, which gets the party going while you wait for everyone to arrive.
Gather a few things and put them in baggies. Either in a group or by themselves ask them to create something out of the materials you have given them.
Get simple little puzzles that go with the party theme switch out one piece with another puzzle. After they have solved their puzzle they have to find the missing piece. You can make your own puzzles by printing out a picture maybe of one of the products you offer and gluing it to poster board. When it dries cut out the pieces. You don't need very many pieces and if you can offer prizes then give the one who finishes fastest or has the hardest time a gift.
NUTSIE is a good partners card game... and fun too can have as many players as you have decks of cards or that will fit around the table.
Good Luck

At New Years we went to a friend's house and played a few new games that were awesome, of course it would depend on the crowd...
"Apples to Apples" was a great game for any crowd. It's a simple card-type game found in the game section at the store.
The host took name stickers and wrote down the names of famous hollywood couples (each name on a different sticker). She walked around and stuck them on everyone's backs where they couldn't see them. Each person had to walk around and show people their back, then ask the person 3 questions about who they are. The point is to guess who you are (what your sticker says on your back) as fast as possible. The first few people to guess won prizes. As simple as this seems, it was fun to look around within seconds and see people communicating with each other. It was a fun time!
