Plan to have icebreaker games for the beginning of the party. Icebreakers help guests get to know each other and get into the spirit. Games like "Pin the Macho on the Man" or "Pin the Hose on the Fireman" (think pin the tail on the donkey, but naughtier) are great for racier parties. Memory games that use the guests' names might be more appropriate for conservative parties.

Tips & Warnings
Become well versed in the rules and specifics of any games you choose so that they run smoothly the night of the party.
Plan to have prizes for the game winners. They make people really get into the action. Prizes don't have to be elaborate or expensive.
Loosen up and go with the flow. If some of your guests aren't entirely enthusiastic about the games, don't take it personally or force them to participate.
Consider the nature of the party you are throwing before deciding on games. You want guests to be comfortable at the party, not overly embarrassed.
