How Would You Save Your Dinner Party?

Last dinner party I attended was a complete disaster. The hostess was fairly new in the game of entertaining, and gathered 5 couples that really had nothing in common and had a hard time keeping the conversation going.
The party ended before it had a chance to start and everyone was in a rush to get home. In the care I replayed the evening in my head and said to my husband:
What if the hostess who immediately understood that the dinner party is turning out to be a disaster stepped in and saved the day with a controversial subject.
Because I had a sly smile on my face, my husband looked at me quizzically and asked: “Which subject”.
I looked at him and said, “how about asking a question,”
What Was Your Last Sexual Fantasy”, my poor hubby almost lost control of the wheel.
But seriously, she the hostess had to do something, why not the hot topic of sex.
Of course the dinner conversation that was minimal up to this point would of completely ceased, and at that very moment one could hear a pin drop along with the jaws of the guests. At this stage everyone in attendance would of be searching for words of how to proclaim their denial of not having fantasies, or reciting their latest sexual fantasy in heir head refusing to share it with the dinner table.
At this moment the hostess could of taken the show on the road and provide statistics that nine out of ten people have sexual fantasies and that they are perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of. At least it would of sparked some kind of discussion and everyone would have had an interesting time.
Have you ever been to a dinner party that was boring? What would you say to save the day?

LOL! Yana, I’d LOVE to attend one of your parties!!
I have not attended a boring dinner party. We usually hang out with good friends and end up laughing to the point of sore ribs. We’ll have a theme, like “margarita” party. And, proceed to share funny life stories.
In the case of the boring party, I have a compulsion to fill awkward silences. I would probably tell a story of one of my (many) embarrassing moments. People tend to laugh, it breaks the silence and people tend to identify and start sharing their funny or embarrassing moments stories.

Yana you are a wicked woman! I love it! I can think of several occasions when I would like to have dropped that one in!
My worst dinner party was years ago when we were a young married couple and had just moved to a new area. My husband was teaching. I had had a good job in London but was yet to find a job locally and a couple had very kindly asked us for a meal to meet some people.
But it was so dull! The talk was either of the vegetables they had grown (interesting only to a point) and of colleagues they all knew in school but I didn’t. But worse for me was no one asked me a single question about myself in terms of career or any life beyond being a wife! I had never experienced anything like it before and began to get angrier and angrier and drink more and more.
My husband knew I would blow at some point and kept glancing nervously at me. I wish I had thought to ask about their sexual fantasies (probably the veg figured) but instead I got more and more feisty and began to drop in the odd expletive, just to see if anyone noticed! The evening from hell, and it was over 20 years ago!
But I love having parties myself! And I like the theme idea too. One of our best was getting everyone to come dressed as a song title! That produced some really witty ideas and didn’t necessitate too much in way of costumes, apart from one guy who came as ‘There’ll be blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover‘. He wore a huge white sheet pinned to his arms (cliffs) and had blue birds strapped to his head by wire metal coat hangers. We pretended not to get it for ages!!
Have fun with whatever you do!

Usually when I get invited to a variety of parties, they find out I am a professional belly dancer….....either the women want me to show them moves or the men want me to dance. Either way everyone wins because I usually will get the women up dancing with me showing them basic moves.
Since belly dancing is connected to Kamasutra it’s no wonder everyone feels the intoxicating sense of rhythem and movement.
