The plan was to go out, but the rain changed everything. Instead of cancelling, many people discover that an evening at home with friends can be lighter and more fun than the original plan. The secret is to have a few ideas on hand and not overcomplicate things.
Get-togethers at home tend to be less formal and more conversational. You do not need a fancy menu or a perfect host: the setting and the company do much of the work. What helps is a minimum of organization so nobody is left with nothing to do.
When heavy rain cancelled a barbecue, six friends ended up at one of their homes. Each brought an ingredient, they made pizzas, played a card game and spent the evening laughing. Some said it was the best get-together of the year. This is an illustrative example.
A rainy night is a good chance to slow down. With a few ideas and goodwill, the plan B can become the group's favorite.
