    How many people are optimal for a birthday party? I think about six or seven and the host, you?

    At what age? If a child I'd say 10 to 12. If an adult depends on your

    budget, size of house and how much booze!

    Adult.
    I think that too many people make it hard to communicate and to actually relax and enjoy the occasion. Too much stuff going on at once if there is more than 10.

    I've been to gatherings of 50 people at a large house with a pool. Everyone

    had enough room to make perfect fools of themselves.

    I've been to parties of 600 people. Way too much to see everyone.
    Any way, thanks for your opinion.

    Though I prefer more intimate gatherings.

    Well, you didn't say when you were having the party.

    I've had 3 tables set up, 4 per table playing cards and dominoes.
    Rotate tables every half hr.

    On such occasions I prefer trance dancing, struggling on the floor, fighting in thick incense smoke and drinking tea experiments.

    It depends on how well the people know each other. If it's close friends, I'd say five or six + host. If they are acquaintances or strangers, 10 or so plus host.

    Struggling on the floor???? As a party event? Oh kay then...

    Birthday party optimum amount depends on what optimum means to you...for example trance dancing is better with more people, while your tea experiments may call for less invitees such that an allergic reaction may be noticed in good time.
