OK so just for context - I’m mid 50s - was born in the late 1960s so proper Gen X Babe!!

I’ve just been looking through some pics on Facebook from my class photos in school. I’m very nostalgic about the past.

Everyone in the last year in secondary school who was in my class - I’m pretty sure I’ve got them all on Facebook - all 32 of us are on there - we don’t do Insta lol!!!

Anyway, I’d love to invite everyone over for a house party - everyone in my class -

Firstly - out of a class of 32 - think mixed/mainstream school - how many people do you think would turn up - all of them ? 🤣

Should I have a sleepover ? Grin

And can someone please suggest some suitable party games/themes?

I think it would be a great way to get people together !

Ask on an Whatsapp group to gage interest. ...there will be a few with bad memories like me who say no. Please respect that. I wouldn't suggest a sleepover... Just a catch up with food. But please respect those that say no... Sometimes things are better left in the past...

😂 have you seen the bottomless brunches where there’s someone with a microphone leading old school hymns? That would be an amazing theme for a karaoke session.

@Brutalist I’ve seen these and they look hilarious!!

Very similar age to you, I'd say go for it, as the moment I'm going to funerals of school contemporaries.

Sleepover 😂

TickTockPolly · 29/04/2025 21:07

I’d start by creating a FB or WhatsApp group to see who is interested.

Of those who initially say they are interested, I expect around half will actually turn up. The other half will be busy or flakey.

You could do a poll to find out what people would enjoy doing. A party is a bit vague for some people who like to know what to expect. An afternoon BBQ or drinks evening may be better.

Good luck
