During lockdown 2020, I was super fortunate to have lived in a share house with some of the best people I have met. These following ideas and plans have since been trialed and tested by them truly. It was through this difficult time for many, that we aimed to make the best of the fortunate situation we were in (living together in a home).
These ideas make for a perfect day at home with family, friends, or housemates. Events at home always feel more wholesome, not to mention can be a lot cheaper than all heading out, and are convenient for the host to easily change into PJs and crawl into bed after it's all over. Wins all over!
A lot of these events include alcohol in the planning - but that can easily be removed or substituted.
Bottomless Brunch
A bottomless brunch at home is a super way to cut back on costs and food wastage, (everything not eaten can be stored in your fridge for later!). It's super easy to organise too.

In the event or chat, set a theme (we did Garden Party) and the bottomless drinks served (Espresso Martinis, yes please!) and have everyone bring a dish or contribution to the drinks. Chats are a great way for everyone to share what they are bringing so there's no double up of food. Start as early as you like! After our allocated 'bottomless' time, we turned the backyard into a True American play field and ended the evening with Just Dance videos and cards games. Other games perfect for a Bottomless Brunch event include: 'What Do You Meme?', 'Never Have I Ever' of whatever rating you wish, or even Scrawl.
Circus Party
90's Party
Room Crawl
House Festival
Backyard Olympics
If you have tried anything like this, reach out, let me know what you did and how it went! I love a good house party, and even better when it has a theme, costumes and games you all have to compete in.
Keep learning, keep exploring
