The thing that always sets me on edge when organizing a get together especially when the guests may not know each other that well is how on earth to get them talking. There is nothing more uncomfortable than a group of people standing around or sitting at a table not talking to each other. In new social situations, it can be quite difficult to get the ball rolling. As the host, it is your role to ensure that the party starts and I have come across a failsafe method to do this.
This method is such a great idea and you can even tailor to any kind of event that you might be organizing. It is a truly great icebreaker. All you need to do is buy a packet of place cards that has the space to write the guests name on, on the other side or opposite the name there should be an icebreaker question that the guest needs to ask the next person to arrive.
It is a cool way of getting everyone talking and it needs only a very short amount of time to set up beforehand. You can either get blank place cards and add the icebreaker questions yourself or you can actually get some with the questions already printed on for you!
