We attended our first LS party at a hotel and it was a success I'd say. Now we want to host our own for my birthday and looking for advice or opinions from others who have either hosted their own or what people would like if they were to attend a swingers party.

What would be better, a nice hotel suite or an Airbnb?

Renting out a cottage for a weekend, is that something couples do or would attend? I've never seen or heard about it but it seems like it would be a good time.

How many couples is a good amount? Should there be singles?

The party we attended had 4 couples who had never met before but somehow all hit it off. I'd think thats rare and probably hard to replicate. Would it be better to invite couples you've already played with who you know and trust or a mixture of new couples? We love meeting new couples but to find them and have everyone hit it off seems very difficult.

What are things hosts should supply or ask guests to bring?

Any tips or advice about the process of hosting something would be much appreciated.
