We are thinking of organising a social local to us. We plan to invite 5 couples, 5 lads and girls welcome too but we wouldn't expect as much interest from them. The numbers feel a tad high for us really but from what we read we should plan for people not to show. This would be the first time we have done this so has anyone got any advice for things we might not have considered? |

"How would anyone know what you haven't considered? "
Well we have a place in mind, we have an idea for numbers and allowed for no shows. Not really sure what else there may be to consider as we have never done this before.. we wouldn't give out the exact location until near the time also |

From what I've already mentioned does it seem like we had considered all that we need to? |

"We are looking at doing the same in and around Notts/Derby
Have you arranged one before?"
No never, we are quite new to the area, just thought it would be a way to meet a few people |

"I wouldn't stress too much or over think it. Once you have a place to meet and good company, the night will take care of itself  "
Prob right, just don't want to cock it up |

not sure my lovely where you are holding it..if its open to everyone, make it a public place, if its invite only, because its say at yours..for first one i would suggest an public place, where people buy their own or bring their own drinks and its not too much stress for you, whatever that constitutes..i like anyone to be able to come, so make sure single guys can get in that night as well as couples and single fems, throw it out there, take along a stack of sexy jengs (mild) as an icebreaker and generally show up and spend my evening mingling, making sure everyone is ok, at least not excluded..as its a club people wander off in their own time to look around, chat to others and its not too intense x but that suits me, what makes a good social for you may, not be the same xx |

Thanks for this, we will be going for a public place with decent hotel close by. We do still want to try and limit the numbers a little tho. Want to be able to spend more time with people and get to know them better, wouldn't want anyone to feel left out too |

Really? How's that? The intention even for a smaller party would be that everyone talked to each other and not just to us. We might have to talk more about numbers later. |

I'll check our diary and let you know, we've got plans on the 19th so it might be harder to do but it would be nice to be sociable

Not to worry, 3 1/2 hours is pretty long drive, weekends is normally difficult for us, hence the midweek meet. Il speak to Angel tho x |
