Answer 2

I just sat through hubby's work Xmas dinner and it was agonizing! work work work work, that was about all they talked about while the significant other's sat with that frozen silly grin pasted on our faces.

If it's biz associates have a no work zone for the benefit of all! Even co-workers need a break!

I assume it's a holiday gathering, why not stay with the theme. Ask everyone what their favorite holiday memory is, what was the oddest thing they received or perhaps they'd like to share a family tradition. If it's an informal party we've had people bring a holiday childhood photo and we play who's that. Holiday trivia questions, - there is a holiday trivia game ala trivial pursuit that is simply questions on cards - a great source of conversation. 8 people around the table sharing holiday memories can take up a great deal of time, once you get it going.

Answer 3

I think making a veggie dish for vegetarians is a whole different ball of wax than making a meat dish for meat eaters. If you're inviting someone over it's polite as a host to make sure they have something to eat. Veg*ns can't eat a meat dish, but meat eaters can sure as heck eat a vegetarian dish (I did it all the time before I went veg.) Also, a meat eater would have no reason to be squamish or uncomfortable about cooking vegetarian food; presumably they handle vegetables, beans and grains on a regular basis. On the other hand, a vegetarian has a good reason to feel perfectly uncomfortable handling flesh if it's not something they are used to. None of my friends would expect me to do something I find gross in order to feed them. And I don't think you're anal for not loaning out a camping grill. My meat eating boyfriend and I use the same pots and pans to cook our food, but in a kitchen you can clean those things properly. If you cook a burger while camping you probably don't have a dishwasher or even hot water handy to get it cleaned well enough to cook veggie food on it.

Answer 4

If you could invite anyone famous, living or dead to this dinner party..who would it be and why?

If we could hold this same dinner party anywhere else in the world...where would you choose?

If you had 24 hours to do anything you wanted or be anyone you wanted..who or what would that be?

What is the strangest thing/event that has ever happened to you or someone you know?

Answer 5

My husband and I talk about this, too. If we are unfamiliar with the other guests, we bring up general questions covering sports, entertainment, and our "favorite" subject- home improvement.

We ask the "home improvement" questions for good reasons. We have an old home that needs a lot of work. We ask people (including friends and relatives) what they do and "pick their brains." We are very ignorant in that area.

Another topic may be cooking or baking. My husband loves to cook and talks with other people about techniques and recipes.

I hope these ideas help!
