The short answer

In 2011 Prince William married Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey, Atlantis flew the final space shuttle mission and NASA sent the Curiosity rover toward Mars. Apple gave the iPhone 4S a talking assistant called Siri, the Packers won the Super Bowl and the last Harry Potter film became the year's top release.

Below are the year's headlines, everyday prices, famous birthdays and the movies, songs, shows and games everyone talked about. Party ideas come next, and signed-in visitors can download a free printable kit of 2011 trivia and games.

    2. Fill in the bubble for your tall tale, then fold that corner over to hide it.
    3. Take turns reading your three statements aloud.

  • Build the 2011 playlist

    Use Billboard's year-end hits: "Rolling in the Deep," "Party Rock Anthem," "Firework," "Super Bass," "Moves Like Jagger" and "The Lazy Song." Let each guest add one track that fits the guest of honor.

  • Party Rock dance-off

    Put "Party Rock Anthem" on loud and give everyone ninety seconds to invent a signature move. Hand out silly paper awards such as Smoothest Shuffle and Biggest Energy.

  • Rocket launch countdown

    Atlantis, Juno and Curiosity all left Earth in 2011. Set up straw rockets or paper airplanes, count down from ten and measure whose flight goes farthest.

  • Championship Day

    The Super Bowl, the NBA Finals and the World Series all crowned 2011 champions. Run three mini events: a football toss, a free-throw shootout and a soft-ball hitting contest.

  • Block-world build-off

    Minecraft's full version arrived in 2011, so split guests into teams and give them a pile of blocks or cardboard boxes. Ten minutes to build the best base, then everyone tours the results.

  • Movie night, 2011 edition

    Pick from the year's big releases: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Cars 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots or Rio. Pop popcorn and let the group vote.

  • A royal wedding tea
