How many people is too many for a house party?!

[Jelliez]

Two bed terrace but spacious.

And - do you need one seat per guest?!

Ooh, a lot factors here...

A crowd more likely to dance or sit and natter?

Any outside space? (and weather considerations)

How many toilets do you have?

Yes to outside space but late February so probably will still be freezing. Half to sit down and half probably more… active/ up for dancing!! Only one loo, old school haha.

Depends on your age - if you're young 50 and they all crash there on any available surface, if you're old, 20 max and only 5 stay over.

No one will be staying over, everyone would live locally so can get home. I’d love a massive party but don’t want it to be over-crowded?!

I think a dozen people tops including the hosts sounds about right

I'd say 20. Or if you want to invite lots do it as an open house from3ish to late. You will get 2 lots of crowds.

How old are you and the people coming? Not to be ageist or generalise etc, but as someone about to turn forty, who loved a big party in her twenties, I know it makes a difference to me

Open house can be good as people come and go over longer period and the. I think you can invite 50 and probably have 20 or so at any given time. The dancers will be the late lot so it all works out.

30-45 with a sprinkle of sprightly 60-70s!
