Please don't flame me. I am hosting an engagement party at a local winery for a dear friend

The usual games I know for engagement parties are not appropriate for a lesbian couple. Can anyone give me pointers on good engagement games ?

I'd say good conversation would be sufficient at a nice winery. Put some good wines out to taste and food presentations between the wine tasting. You could weave some stories about how they met, fell in love, etc. among all that.

Families and family history are good categories for us. Have some other categories too. and it also helps if the trivia master/mistress can tailor degree of difficulty to the player. (My sister saves the real skull-busters for me!) Lots of small prizes are better than I big one.

One ticket to view The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the winner, the second ticket to the loser: must attend together!

We'll make sure they won't show their sorry ass on DU again.

Just kidding.

I dunno anything about this. But I felt strongly to respond to your no flame appeal.

Here at DU we live together as one, no matter how many chairs are thrown across the room.

Go for it. Have fun.

We have reserved the winery and will have loads of finger food and nonalcoholic punch in my great grandmothers crystal punch bowl. It's just that part of my memories include games at such parties... I want everything to be perfect for our dear friend Lily....

We here at DU are a family of sorts. If there are problems, let us know who and we'll sort them out.

Hope you all have fun.

managed to get a classical/jazz combo to play (we will give each member a bottle of wine)
I just want it to be perfect for them, and the silly games i recall from my party would not work....
