Swinging house parties - summer versus winter

Recommended Posts

As usual, the summer has flown by and now winter is nearly here. Entertaining guests of any variety always just seems easier when it's warm and you can make use of outdoor spaces like decks, bbq area, pool, etc. For those who are regulars at hosting parties, how does your party planning change from summer to winter?

Not at all. My wife and I plan parties for summer and winter. Our only "black-out" dates are Halloween and Christmas as these are for family gatherings.

If it's cold and windy, or cold and raining/sleeting/snowing, outside doesn't work. Firepit, hot tub, and outdoor space heaters can do much to warm a cold yet still night, and the chill can encourage folks to cozy up.

Just a word of advice on hosting during the winter. We originally planned on hosting about 10 couples at our house last winter and sent out invitations 2-3 weeks in advance. A few days before the event we were hit with back to back storms dumping a significant amount of snow. We live in a fairly rural area with a very large front yard that we were going to use to park the cars, needless to say we had to cancel for that event and wait about a month for the snow to eventually melt.

      So, not ENTIRELY new, but not experienced either. Two swinging experiences under our belt and loving it.
       
      We were contemplating having a not new to the lifestyle but new to us couple over to our house on a weekend. We hang out and have a bonfire and just drink and BS, it's our version of bliss.
       
      We have a clean house, liquor, plenty of condoms, water bottles... What else should a good host have? Appetizers? Music? Towels lol?
       
      Seriously though, we're nervous for our second first date in 15 or so years. Any advice or stories appreciated. Thank you.

      Ok, we have an extra bedroom which at the moment is storage, but our hope is to get it cleaned out and possibly turn it into a playroom, so that should we host any friends over or even potentially a house party we can have a room set up for ... well... playing. We already have a guest bedroom with a full size bed that could be used as well.
       
      So if you were starting with an empty room and wanted to create a playroom, what would you put in it?
       
      We're thinking about maybe a futon, and some good mood lighting... but what else...

      So, we are contemplating hosting our first house party and we are in a quandary!
       
      We have been to house parties in the past and think we have an end goal in mind - but how do we get there!
       
      Our concerns revolve around the following:
       
      1. guests - who do you invite (couples you have played with, couples you have met, couples you are hoping to meet) etc?
          Our thinking is that the event is likely not the optimal venue for meeting another couple for the first time, especially being the hosts we will 
          likely be distracted in performing our hosting duties. Do we encourage guests to bring along other couples unknown to us?
       
      2. environment - we have been to house parties in the past and they have been all over the map in terms of the mood/environment created. 
          It is our intent to create a welcoming, no pressure atmosphere that will encourage socializing, and, perhaps, lead to more. 
          Everyone knows why they are there but at the same time, no one should feel pressure. How to best do this from a physical perspective
          (room layout, furniture) to allocation of space (making private, closed door areas available). 
       
      3. pacing - creating a "flow" to the evening that encourages people to feel comfortable and act out on their desires. We don't want this to feel 
          contrived or artificial (such as telling everyone its time to now do move the other room and take your clothes off etc). 
       
      Those of you with experience in this area, we would welcome your input please. 
       
      Many thanks.

      We are having our first house party here in Austin and we are wondering what games we can have to get things started? We would like a few suggestions. We are not looking for board games as such. More like games where there is no limit of how many players. Also we are looking for games where you do not have to atcually have sex as part of the game..we want it to be flirtly and sexually charged but not actual sex.
       
      Thanks for your help.

      Having given my observations before on hosting house parties, I hope it will prove worthwhile to elaborate on a few points. Also hoping I will gain from other peoples’ experiences. Furthermore, my wife and I have changed our views on some of the wisdom we have dispensed in the past.
       
      - The invitation list We have never considered having an “open house”. We know a couple who host open-house parties in that they put “We are having a party on such-and-such date” in the tag line of their on-line profile. This means that people need, at least, to send an e-mail to them to ask about the street address of the party house. Seems to have worked OK for them. The parties are lively and pretty much free of trouble. But they do have an exceptionally large house. If a lot of unexpected people show, they have the ability to accommodate. Our parties are by invitation and we invite people we already know. These do not necessarily have to be people with whom we have played. We have not so many acquaintances that we have to be concerned about trimming the list to avoid overcrowding. At first, we had our worry that maybe nobody would show and we would be sitting across from each other at a lonely table. This concern was entirely unfounded. Typically, about half to two thirds of the people we invite accept the invitation. We have learned some lessons about making our lists. Single men and single women are among our acquaintances and some of these we can call true friends. But we have lost the attention of some very interesting couples owing to the fact that they are not comfortable being in the intimate company of singles. We trust our single friends to understanding that our house parties are now and will continue to be couples-only events.
       
      - Same room, separate room, private room, group-sex room, exhibitionism and voyeurism Swinging couples have different styles and we try to accommodate. We learned from the set-ups of on-premise clubs. The little innovation of our most recent house party was a room for the couples who like to stay close to their significant others for same-room sex, either the watch-and-be-watched kind or partner exchange. As our master bedroom is sufficiently large, we added a heavy-duty motorized inflatable bed that is the same height as our queen-size. The other two bedrooms also have queen-size beds – close the door if you want privacy. Those new-style battery-operated wax candles are perfect for mood lighting. Every girl looks flattering in this light. The front office and the living room both have convertible sofas. The front room and back-yard patio, newly-enclosed with a six-foot wooden fence, are for people who like to accept critique of their physique and technique (exhibitionists) as well as the those who like to watch.
       
      - Massage table A really great ice breaker; a really worthwhile investment.
       
      - Washrooms Full-size bath towels (we know a person who showers before and after every encounter), small hand trowels, small wash cloths, condoms, Cottonelle flushable wet wipes.
       
      - Food We believe it is the obligation of the host and hostess to provide food. Guests will not have interest in a sit-down dinner. Their minds would only be working on how to make a dessert of the hostess’ décolletage than mashed potatoes and gravy. So we put orders in at the events department of the local supermarket and at Edible Arrangements. We get a little something for everyone; a sandwich ring, potato salad, fresh fruit arrangement (no chocolate), cut-vegetable tray, dessert tray (with chocolate), cheese tray with crackers, peel-and-eat shrimp, dry-roast peanuts, chips and dip, soft drinks, lemonade. The dining room becomes a meeting place countering the tendency for men to congregate in the TV room to discuss trucks or professional sports and the women to congregate in the kitchen (not even dishes to wash as we use paper plates and plastic cups).
       
      What do you guys have to add?
