Hi Marci - On my side of the family they throw a Outdoor BBQ. Hambergers, Hot Dogs, Brats, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Baked Beans, Strawberry Shortcake for desert. Lemonaid or Soda.
My husband's side - Everyone gathers at either his Mom's, Sisters's or Grandma's and everyone tried to bring a dish to pass.
With an outdoor BBQ extravaganza with an excessive amount of alcoholic beverages and food so we can eat, drink, and be merry! woo hoo!!!!
With a meal and booze.
BBQ and or watching a really good movie.
Jam session! Playing and singing, ususally pizza to go with.
turn on the tv and switch it to a football game, get some snacks like a bag of Lays chips
I am a grandmother who loves to do southern style country cooking. I leave it in the pots on the stove. set out the plates and everyone helps themselves. We all just eat and enjoy each others company.
i like to tell jokes
I usually like to invite a small group of friends. I have a fire pit that i will light up if the evenings are cool. I do have 4 tiki torches that i light up for mosquito's. i usually throw something quick on the pit and have 2-3 appetizers. My friends always bring something including there own alcohol. We usually sit around and talk and they always send me thank you cards. They tell me it is fun. I know I really have a great time when they are here.
In the winter time...........the sit down dinner.
In the summertime.......A big outdoor BBQ is the best.
either BBQ or an Italian dinner (go figure, I'm Italian!!)
no fancy sit-downs for me. I am not picky on what type of food, but I like buffet style best.
TO have them come over, and RELAX and have lots of food and be casual and comfortable and have music, have movies and card games/dominoes and a room for the kids.
i'd say playing charades is a good way to keep the talking between family members and with friends too. plus it's a good ice breaker, not to mention its loads of fun..
With a massage party where organically grown fresh fruit juices flow.
