"This is a very good question. We used to get constant invites to parties. However, we've not had one since covid." We’re interested in party invites. Pre covid we tried to host ourselves and not one person replied! | |||

"This is a very good question. We used to get constant invites to parties. However, we've not had one since covid. We’re interested in party invites. Pre covid we tried to host ourselves and not one person replied!" Really???? That's actually quite surprising | |||

"We have a couple who host a party once a month at theirs. It is hard work getting other couples to attend , and I raise my cap to them for trying each month to get a group of like minded couples together. So yes private parties do exist and can be fun " When you say it's hard work getting couples to attend, is it because they don't contact to say they're interested or because you out the ones you don't want. | |||

" It hard getting couples to attend. Many make enquires and ask for details then fail to attend. I know every month at least two couples fail to attend. As they like to keep the numbers small when a few couples don’t attend it not only spoils the party but stops others from attending. | |||

"We'd go to one but only verified couples are invited. Nuts considering we can't get verified. No like we haven't tried to meet but soo many timewasters. " it does seem nuts but when you get messed around as much as these couples who organise these parties do then its also totally understandable | |||

Helps understand from both sides a bit better  | |||

My friend and I tried some socials before covid, to try and get meeting mix of people in person not behind screens, which a lot of people want socials after messaging a bit before any fun meets, so thought this could help, especially if single ladies needed a bit of company / back up? also meet people you might not come across in messages etc, and also can help then get verifications that you have been seen in person and are who you say etc. We still had the same problems of many messages, but then not a lot turning up? some did, and appreciated them. SO, we are now doing them again, and monthly for a while, so people have advance notice they are happening and where etc, to plan to come to one or two. The first went well, so hopefully more will come to future ones and better mix etc.
We are hoping, that there may even be someone with a bigish house to maybe organise a party or we would even love to maybe hire a place and organise a party or even weekend swingers event, but, finance is the big thing, and we would have to book places in advance and be paid for, to make sure we covered the costs? ( we have heard there has been some "camping weekends for swingers, and been charged £200/£300 a person, and the tents being crap, only matresses on the floor, no proper food available, etc ) and people go back ???? so we were wondering if an actual rented house / holiday home for about the same price might be an option?? but still have the problem of who would want to come, actually book to come? etc - so still in the thinking stage lol
But would love for more couples and singles to come to our socials for a start xx | |||

"I wonder if people have forgotten how to go out after nearly two years of being banned from meeting." No they haven’t , people barely remember COVID and most people I know carried on as normal mostly during COVID. Arranging parties was always hard work long before COVID , fabbers are flaky | |||
"I wonder if people have forgotten how to go out after nearly two years of being banned from meeting." Nah. House parties in our area seemed to dry up before that (at least from what we have observed). The shift went to clubs and from talking to others it just because it was easier. As other said in this thread, no shows seem to be a regular complaint...though with established freinds its a different matter. That all said, it might swing the other way again due to rising costs. | |||
"10 years ago when we joined Fab there always seemed to be a lot of parties going on. By that i mean acctual parties. 6 plus people. We would see them streamed in the chat rooms for all to enjoy or we would often see them them posted on the meets / events section in our area. We attended numerous ones ourselves. Then we noticed they kinda dried up in about 2018 in our spesific area (or at least within a distance we could reasonably travel to at the time). There seemed at that time a shift more towards clubs as well. Then covid happened and not seen single one posted in our region since. Now we are not saying house parties have ended here. We are just saying we havnt seen them in our area for a long time. Is it the same elsewhere or is it a case if people shifted more to clubs and covid puts people off them now? We've tried to do a few ourselves when we knew we had a free house but it would.always end up as small affair since people would cancel last minute so weve stopped trying. " I’ve been to a couple recently and going again to another part run by the same organiser next week Just lucky to have them in my area I guess? X | |||

So yes private parties do exist and can be fun " I know a local couple who also have parties and they have the same problem - a lot of people have become quite flaky so can be difficult to guarantee numbers/at least get a decent number turning up. As with other meets it tends to be people who have attended in the past are most reliable. I do enjoy a good fab party  | |||

Many dont value nor reapect anthing given free! | |||

Tell me more "Prepare your inbox for lots of invites. Which sounds way ruder than I intended but hey, when in Rome  | |||
 I definitely think it is area specific | |||

Then when meet veris were allowed to be showed, the numbers who met during lockdown were shocking. There were probably more parties in lockdown than now as clubs were closed. | |||
