How and what to entertain guests at the table at home

Gone are the days when guests were received at home. But how wonderful it is to meet friends and treat them to their own culinary masterpieces. Restaurant cuisine and entertainment program under the guidance of a professional toastmaster can be rather annoying. Why not make a variety and come up with a perfect evening, which will be attended only by relatives and souls of people and arrange entertainment that members of your company prefer. And you can come up with something new, because the owner is a master!

Where to begin

Depending on what event the upcoming dinner party will be devoted to, you should think over the list of guests invited to it. If these are colleagues, you should not get carried away with too frank conversations and games, especially if your immediate superior or other management will be present at the party.

For a company consisting of colleagues, themed entertainment is suitable with a professional slant. Such a scenario will be all close and will lift your spirits.

If the company will consist only of close friends, then you can completely relax and come up with a variety of games, even with a sexual slant.

In those cases when a company consisting of people of different ages is assembled, it is necessary to take into account the interests of all and draw up a program that will unite. The organization will be successful if you think over the scenario of the holiday and contests to prepare everything in advance. Then the evening will be a success and will be remembered for a long time by all the guests.

You can ask for help in organizing the holiday to the most active and creative individuals. Writing the script alone is not only a very difficult task, you can miss important details during this process.

If you give a task to come up with a contest for all guests, you can sum up at the end of the evening, whose contest is the most interesting.

If invited colleagues

In those cases where colleagues gather at the table to organize a holiday, the following facts should be taken into account:

1. The number of women and men in the team.If the team is same-sex, then the pair competitions can not be arranged.
2. How close is the relationship in the team. Usually, many people only know each other’s name and position, completely unaware of their marital status or even their age. In this case, you need to choose business games that do not affect the personal qualities of colleagues.
3. The age of colleagues. If all are approximately the same age, you can come up with more candid contests. When a company consists of colleagues between the ages of 25-50, the task is more difficult.

The main rule of organizing the evening among colleagues is the absence of flat jokes and excessively frank conversations. Also, do not organize such contests in which someone feels at a disadvantage.

Paired contests
Pair competitions are very popular. Among colleagues, all are divided into 2 camps: men and women, between which competitions are held.

Who is more beautiful
Women choose for themselves a man and in a high-speed mode begin to tie bows to his hair. The more bows will be tied on the head of a man during the competition, the better. The winner is the pair that not only copes quickly with the task, but also gets an advantage in the number of bows in comparison with others.

Together
Having embraced with one hand, the second man and the woman hold a balloon which should be inflated in turn. The one who will cope with this task faster wins.

Stickers
On the woman's clothes stick stickers in different places. The man is blindfolded. He must remove all the stickers from her. Wins the one who most quickly coped with the task.

Entertainment with friends

If you are going to the company of close friends, consisting of single men and women, you can think of an evening where everyone will find their soul mate.

Halves
Make beautiful hearts and cut them in half in zigzags. Distribute these halves to all lonely people. In order for the halves of one heart not to fall into the hands of two men or two women, you can paint them in different colors. For example, the heart on one side will be pink, on the other - purple, therefore, the female half will be pink.

On the newspaper
Do friends like to dance, and do not miss the opportunity to demonstrate their talent? So this competition is for them. Spread old newspapers on the floor. Each pair must stand so close to each other to fit on one newspaper.

Not only stand, they have to dance on the newspaper, so much so that it does not explode! As players drop out, the task becomes more complicated: the newspaper is folded in half and you need to resist on this small piece. This happens until one pair is left. Wins the most deft!

The rapid disappearance of the salad
Men usually take part in this game, as women do not want to demonstrate their abilities to quickly eat salad. Men choose their favorite salad and put on plates, after which they are blindfolded. Until the command is given to the start, they change plates, placing broth in front of them. When the team sounds about the beginning of the competition, the men, not suspecting anything, grab the forks and try to grab something from the plate, but nothing comes of them!

Haute couture
For this competition you will need old clothes. Guests are divided into pairs. A man should dress up a woman in women's clothes, then they change, and a man dresses up a woman in a men's outfit. The game is more fun than semantic. The winner in this competition is friendship.

Family celebration

Not always the feast is accompanied by unbridled fun, sex games and jokes.Sometimes relatives gather at the table, as a rule, people of different generations. We must pay tribute to them and invite them to their celebration. Usually, the family gathers for someone's birthday or for a traditional family dinner.

Such meetings are accompanied by pleasant memories that occurred in the life of the older generation. Sometimes the relaxed atmosphere can be replaced by a tough debate about politics and about political figures. In this case, the owner will need to defuse the situation and entertain guests with games, drinking songs and contests.

You should not be surprised, people of the older generation are very fond of entertainment of such a nature, they are not boring old people, as you until recently considered them, but very cheerful and cheerful people. This will help make sure:

• Board games;
• Card tricks;
• Song contests;
• Memories of famous films;
• Word games or cities.

The intelligence and speed of decision-making of the older generation will surprise you. From the meeting, everyone will get a good impression and get even closer.

Beautiful words
The game is as follows: one of the names of those present is chosen, and everyone should characterize it with such wordswhich begin with the letters of that name. For example: Maria: cute, adventure, playful, bright, bright.

If there are many guests, and the selected name is too short, you can add letters from the middle name and surname. In this case, it is not always necessary to pronounce an adjective, and you can come up with something original.

Sing
In the family circle, when they are going to several generations at once, they rarely do without songs. Most of them have their own family songs, which they sing during all meetings. Why not hold a contest singing? Ideas for the song contest:

• Recall the songs in which there are plants ("apple and pear trees bloomed," "oh, viburnum blooms");
• Colors ("green-eyed taxi");
• Names, etc.

Movie Memories

Family dinner will be remembered for a long time. Laughing from the heart and youth, and elderly relatives will long remember this evening.

Any meeting can be arranged so that she remembers for a long time, and it is not necessary to invite a professional tamada.By organizing such an evening on your own, you will demonstrate your care and attention for your family, friends or colleagues. And this is much more important than professionally organized meetings.
