Oh yes, Kim's Game - good for calming things down if all these 40-somethings get over-excited, the way they do. :-)
The Letter Box game sounds promising.
The main problem is that there's quite a lot of vagueness about arrival times, so we could have anything between 20 and 40+ for these games. 40+ is too many for several games on my list - but we could always organise sub-groups, in which some people play a game while everyone else mills and chats.
I was considering names on backs, but rejected it since I've only played it as an ice-breaker at adult parties, rather than one we used to play when young, but it could be a fun thing to do as and when people arrive. If G's played it at parties, then it counts as a proper children's party game. :-)
