Tell them you have called the cops and they better be gone in a few minutes.

Excellent question!! Many people face this delimma every year. Ann Landers and Abby both have dealt with this problem several times in their column.
My suggestion is set the ground rules early on. Tell your guests exactly what the approximate end time will be. Announce thirty minutes ahead of time it is time to wrap things up.
For those dullards who just can not read the tea leaves there is one sure way to see that they don't over stay their welcome the next time. Just announce it is bed time and then go to bed. I guarantee it will work on even the most insensitive ones.

If you put away all the food, turn off the music and stop serving drinks, they'll probably get the idea and leave. There wouldn't be much reason to stay, really. I do like the idea of handing them their coats. :-)
Or, if it's too warm for coats, offer to walk them to their car.

Turn foo the music, put all my food away, put my pj's on and let my dog loose and tell them you don't have to go home but you got to get the hell out of here. PARTY OVER! See you at the one hopefully. Drive safely, call me when you reach your destination. Love ya. Peace.

Start yawning & tell them you're fixing to go to bed. A few minutes later go open the door. Or just tell them to get the hell out-party's over. Whichever you prefer!

There are several ways of taking care of this. If you just want to be blunt about it, turn of the lights and the music. If you want to be a little nicer, start with the yawning and tell them you have to get up early tomorrow. This should be enough. I usually say thanks for coming...

Start yawning and go put on your pajamas. If that doesn't work just tell the inconsiderate fools it is time to go. When hints don't work then it is time to be abrupt.

Tell them that drinks will be served from now on in the lawns.
They go out.
Lock the door.
Keep silence do not answer the door bell.

My hubby, during his first marriage, had that problem. His sister and her hubby stayed and stayed and stayed. He said he got tired of it and waited until they went out and then while they were gone, the hubby and his ex wife packed their bags. When they got back, they told them it was time to go, gave them some money and opened the front door for them to leave. Hey, it worked for him, why not you?

Play Gospel music very loud, it's ended many a party for me.

Easy. Don't give hints, give orders. For example "It's been fun, but your time has expired. See you later. Call me to let me know you made it home safely."
