Young Single Adult Family Home Evening Ideas
Enjoy adults-only evenings at home by employing classic card games, books or spicing it up with a lingerie-themed consultation. You can devote your evening to exciting entertainment with your spouse or friends. Does this Spark an idea?
Book Buddies
Step away from cable television and rented movies and enjoy an evening of adult reading and discussion with a book club in your home. Book clubs gather a small group of reading enthusiasts. You'll assign a common book to be read in a specific amount of time. The group reconvenes and participates in a discussion about the book's themes, characters and author's overall writing style. While many book clubs don't spend the entire evening discussing a book, the gathering is a way to make new adult friends and escape into fascinating literature. Take the event even further by theming your snacks and decorations to the book's subject matter.
Classic Board Games
Board games aren't just for kids. Invite a crowd of other young single adults to your home for a night of friendly competition focused on board games of your childhood. Adults who grew up in the 1980s, for example, may get some serious flashbacks when you reveal games such as Trouble, Operation, Connect Four and Hungry Hippos-which are still available at retail stores. Offer small prizes for game winners such as disco balls for a 70s game night or neon stretchy bracelets for 80s game nights.
Lights Out Lingerie
With kids out of the picture, focus your adult home evening by offering a lingerie party. A lingerie "consultant" will come to your home with a display of underwear, toys, lotions, videos and other adult items. You'll discuss products, make recommendations and take orders. "Entrepreneur Magazine" reported that 13.6 million people in the United States bought something at a home party in 2004. An in-home party also saves attendees the potential embarrassment of shopping in public for sexually explicit materials. Consultants from Sheer Expressions, Just for Women Online, Surprise Parties and Passion Parties are available for in-home parties.
Cool Cards
A couples' night in or roommate bonding evening doesn't have to be boring-grab a deck of cards and deal out a night of competition. While games like poker and euchre require at least four players, there are plenty of other games two people can play. Rummy, which has rules similar to poker in that players attempt to get "straights" and "sets," is ideal for two people and can be a fast-paced way to pass the time. Spades, traditionally played as a four-person, partner-style game, may also be quickly transformed into a two-person competition with a different way of dealing the cards. Competitors play with "trump," where spades beat anything else in the deck. Go Fish and Miles Borne (also spelled Miles Bourne), which is a French card game, are also ideal for two players.
