I'm having a holiday party on Friday and I was wondering if any of you had any ideas for fun party games that aren't too difficult we could play? Its going to be 20-25 people that don't all know each other. TIA!

Two truths is when every person says two truths and one lie about themself and the others have to guess which is the lie. Its a great way to get to know people.
Here are the rules to dirty santa (so I don't have to type it out):
Apples to Apples is a hilarious group game. I played it at my dinner party Saturday night and we played it for hours and hours (12 people but an infinite number of people can play). It's tons of fun and the game itself is really clever. It's a good way to get to know each other's sense of humor. I learned some of my good friends are seriously disturbed after this weekend's game. And it grabbed the attention of a handful of couples who are usually early to leave. They ended up staying until well over midnight playing the game. (Party started at 7.)
Super fun.
Oh and to bex and Collette - what dirty little minds you all have!!
And FP, if you're curious, check out www.urbandictionary.com. That will give you more than enough info. on the subject.

heres a brief description:
APPLES to APPLES is the wild, award-winning card and party game that provides instant fun for four to ten players! It's as easy as "comparing apples to apples"... just open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. And everyone gets a chance to be the judge! This sturdy Party Box edition contains the entire collection of cards from the original Apples to Apples Core Game plus Expansion Sets 1 & 2. For 4 to 10 players.
Each person gets 7 red apple cards (people, places, events), one person starts as a judge and lays a green apple card (adjectives, feelings, etc.) on the table. Each person picks a card out of their own that they think the judge would agree with most (it can be something that accurately describes the word, or something ridiculous). While the judge is thinking everyone gets to debate and talk about the cards, trying to subtly persuade the judge to pick their own card. Which ever card the judge picks, wins. The judge rotates in a circle, so everyone gets a chance.
There are other variations of the game in the box...it is very easy to play...its just a little confusing to explain.
I think it would be a great game because you dont really have to keep score, there is no board or game pieces, besides the cards, and everyone of all ages always really enjoys it!!!
