Gavin and Stacey - Christmas Party

72 replies

Mrspresident · 31/10/2019 10:48

I know it's still a bit early but I'm hosting 5 people on Christmas day and after a difficult year I want to make the day themed around Gavin and Stacey in anticipation for the Christmas special. Any ideas on what things we can do. Everyone there will be 18 or over. We are planning a Mint Baileys if they still exist (as Bryn does that), so any other Gavin and Stacey themed things we could do on Christmas day that links to the show?

Give everyone individual celebrations in little boxes like Nessa and Dave do, could have it as party favours

Mick's turkey?

Have a bar set up in your living room (preferably with an elderly lady asleep behind it!)

Hobbes8 · 31/10/2019 10:51

Give everyone a single wrapped quality street as a present? Bad luck if you get the bounty.
Have an elaborately brined turkey?
Hide a very old woman behind your sofa?
Wear jeans with dirty knees?
Punch someone in the face?

Some of these might be more practical than others.

There will obviously have to be omelettes for everyone

Reallybadidea · 31/10/2019 10:53

I'd send David Blunkett (and his bitch) an invitation

AtrociousCircumstance · 31/10/2019 10:53

Plus, a mix of all the music featured on the show: house of fun by madness, islands in the stream...

Worlds0kayestmum · 31/10/2019 10:54

Wrap gifts in tin foil

AtrociousCircumstance · 31/10/2019 10:54

Also, everyone has to dress as their favourite character.

AtrociousCircumstance · 31/10/2019 10:55

And have a big banner that reads ‘Christmas is so lush’.

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 31/10/2019 10:57

You invite me, that's what you do!!

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 31/10/2019 10:59

Are you making Smithy's famous curry order, instead of a traditional Christmas dinner?!

Re-enact Nessa & Bryn's Dolly Parton/Kenny Rogers' version of "Islands In The Stream"?

Top marks for planning a fun day

TinklyLittleLaugh · 31/10/2019 11:00

I think I’m going to have to steal all these ideas. Nice one OP. It sounds lush.

Mrsjayy · 31/10/2019 11:00

Only do little presents no "main presents"

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 31/10/2019 11:01

Call everyone "Sugar Tits" the whole day, obviously.

tomthomas · 31/10/2019 11:07

Make sure someone's present it presented in an empty cigarette box

A game of rigged battleships

NightLion · 31/10/2019 11:17

Welcome your guests with the elaborate smithy and gavin door greeting. If they doen't know the right moves / dance combo, they can't come in.

Thanks guys for these suggestions. I'm definitely going to make a playlist, give everyone a celebration and I've found some character masks online. Any idea if Mint Baileys is still a thing?

OP posts:

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 31/10/2019 11:23

Character novelty masks instead of (as well as?) the cracker party hats?

Everyone must dance to House Of Fun by Madness

Lexplorer · 31/10/2019 12:31

New oven gloves, nut roast.

bexxiepie · 31/10/2019 14:03

You 100% have to play 'what happened on the fishing trip'
Just come up with the wackiest storylines you can think of. Bonus points if you use one of the existing clues (i.e it's legal in Wales, it involves soup)
