"The bigger the party is, the less pressure you will feel to play. If there are 12 people at the party and 10 are playing, the other two will feel very awkward. If there are 50 people at the party nobody will notice."
----- Yea, the smaller parties are what I was worried about. I didn't realize there are 300 people parties like the post below. 50 sounds better. lol... I guess just asking the host how many people are expected will help make the decision easier. Thanx all. |

Only the smallest parties are "one room only." In my opinion, it is NOT all right for the male half of a couple to run off and play at a party while his partner does not play at all. I make this an explicit rule at my own parties. Nobody is ever required to do anything, but either both play or neither play. However, there is a total double standard: it's fine if the woman plays and the man doesn't. |

we have been to several house parties and had a great time at all of them. Every one we went to there was no expectations and areas for socialization without playtime...
hopefully you find similar experiences... and as always... just because one half plays doesnt mean both halves are playing |

I'm pretty inexperienced too, but the few house parties I've attended (as a single guy) weren't that organized. People kind of went with the flow and either chose to join in or just socialize. It may have to do with the size of the gathering--I've only been to parties with small numbers of guests-and from my experience, we were either free to engage in some group play or play one-on-one. In my case, I tended to play the voyeur and enjoyed the show before getting involved.

Ditto on YLM's post. Parties expecting everyone to play are usually explicit in stating so (or they should be) and usually invite only people they know will fit in with such an event.
Most house parties are pretty casual, and although (usually) anything may go on anywhere, some rooms are to remain "door open" and some are "close the door if you like". I've never seen a high-pressure house party. |

I would not say 'most' from my experiences. I'd say maybe 50/50. A lot of venues I've seen have 2 types of play rooms.
1. An open group room that promotes group play and a level of voyeurism. 2. Separate/smaller rooms that have the option to close a door for private play. These same rooms can be used for open play if the door is left open. Of course there is a social area for socializing. |

That does sound best, but are most that organized? I'm not really getting that impression.
