I'm having a gathering later this month, and there will be a few different people who don't all know each other. Rather than turning everyone loose and letting them sink or swim, I thought I might have an activity or two so that we all at least have some idea who everyone is before we get down to eating.
They don't all know each other, but they do know (and voluntarily hang around) me, so they're the kind of people who'll be OK with some goofiness. It's not like a business gathering or anything. There will be a mix of adults and kids, all of them easy-going and fairly sociable once you get them going.
I do ice breaker games for the homeschool teens all the time, but I'm thinking there might be a whole world of more grownup-type stuff people do? Sadly, my "adult dinner party" experience is pretty limited. Among my circle, a party where everyone gets a chair is considered pretty fancy.
