How did you parties turn out? Ours was Saturday and it poured down rain. Our turn out wasn't what we hoped with 9 of our "Yeses" not showing up and none of our 11 maybes. So we planned for turn out in the mid twenties including us and ended up with 14. But it's not the first year we have had a lot of no shows and we still had fun with the people who showed. Lots of left over food though. We played the guess the name of your back game, the winking murder game, had a haunted virtual reality headset game, and threw hatchets in the back yard at zombies using umbrellas because of the rain. We got pretty much everything done that we had planned, but it was a real push the last couple of days to get it all set up. This was the 9th year we have had a Halloween party.

our turnout was similar--off the top of my head there were 6 yes'es that didn't show (maybe more if i think about it) and no maybes. we ended up with 19 total, and if it hadn't been for a few people who made it that we weren't expecting, it would have been really low. i think we're definitely scaling back next year, at least on activities. if people just want to hang out and drink and mingle, there's no sense putting in the effort we did on games and activities.
