despedida party

[Les_lady888]

Hello everyone! I need some suggestions here please. I am tasked to organize a despidida dinner party for a colleague who is moving away to manage another branch in farther town. Can anyone suggest any nice despedida party games or activities please? Thanks.

:Hellooo:

[LadyJ]

Get them drunk :D

[nigel]

Karaeoke/Videoke is a MUST!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Food is a MUST!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

The ideal party for every Filipino is an evening of over-eating and bad singing!:icon_lol:

Joke lang!:)

I believe Filipino's do have a fondness for fun party games...the Filipina's on this site will have to tell you about them though...

[Les_lady888]

Food and drinks will always be present of course........but what I need is some sort of ideas for the activities. I'm planning to pattern it to some sort of showbiz tributes :D like each department will render a song for her and then as a finale, all of us will sing one song. however, I'm still trying to figure out what will these songs be.. any suggestions?

Uhmm, I think i beer drinking game for the ladies would be nice too :D Oh no!:doh we still have work the following day!:Brick: Despedida will be this friday but I still gotta report to work on a Saturday. Anyway, I might just as well ask those who will not be on a Saturday duty to join the beer drinking game :xxgrinning--00xx3: .....or do u have any other nicer games to suggest?

:Help1:

Hi Les Lady888,

Why not try charade? Thought that's fun.

Singing wise...do some songs from Aegis, not most people can reach the high pitch so that would give a good laugh.

[Les_lady888]

charade? yes, that would be fun.............but Aegis??? :omg: arrrrgh!!! :doh too high.....dont wanna ruin the party lol :icon_lol:

[miss.piggy]

Belive me, just keep Aegis ready...surely it will be the favourite around 12ish when everyone's totally drunk!

[Les_lady888]

Thanks for that suggestion Miss Piggy :) I can try sing the Aegis too :icon_lol: to everyone's dismay I expect :Rasp: ............but actually most of my colleagues are in their senior years :D so I won't expect them to get really drunk :Beer::party-smiley-012: .......but the young ones (including me :) ) would surely stay out late despite a working day the next day!:doh

Just don't let them sing "My Way" lol :D:D:icon_lol::icon_lol:

[MarBell379]

Songs with some sort of travel theme then I guess -
Leaving on a Jet Plane?

New York New York? 'Start spreading the news.... I'm leaving today...'

Have you seen the myspace Karaoke group btw?? - online videoke for free :) Just need a Mic and a pc! http://ksolo.myspace.com/

I love the dance stop music with the chair around..... full of giggles and laughing, I just cant help but I love it...baduy ko noh! :icon_lol: I thought you'll gonna fly na to UK so I read your despedida thread :icon_lol:

[Terrielicious]

[Terrielicious]

what about some lisbo strippers? :D

[eagles]

try to make some video presentation of her while at work with your group, use those old pics your officemates got and assemble it. Have your other officemates say something on a video..

Then you can have some tokens for her ( each one of the officemate give small things).

For funny moments- you can play " sing the letters of my Name " wherein each letter of her name is being described in a song .. example... letter A.. ( sing a song that starts in letter A, )

LOL, it's a "despedida" or "going away" party, not a stag party, lol :D:D:icon_lol::icon_lol:

[Les_lady888]

..... I thought you'll gonna fly na to UK so I read your despedida thread :icon_lol:

Nah...it's not me leaving but a colleague from work....And I think it would still be far before I can go to UK.

and youre not baduy ok.....I like that "trip to jerusalem" game as well....but we do it differently, we use "men" and not chairs :D

Many thanks for that suggestions Eagles. Actually, I had that similar thought about the old pics. I asked some of our colleagues to bring a pic or a thing that would best remind them of our colleague who is leaving and they will have to share and talk about it at the party.

I like the "sing the letters of my name" game. Thanks.
