When I was growing up, a good deal of these sorts of parties involved backyards, barbecues, and swimming pools. Rarely did we spend time indoors.

This might explain the decline then, as with the price of housing going up less people can afford a place that has a backyard (let alone a pool!)

I remember when i was young going out on vacations with school friends and their parents for several days. Also similar to weekends at country houses. The trend was that a couple of parents liked to host the get togethers and didn’t mind 10 adults and 20 children of different ages running around the place

None of my friends have a backyard big enough to host a BBQ
