    This may not be shared by other people, but my two cents.

    I personally don't like inviting people to my house (or going to other people's houses) because I already spend a good chunk of my day indoors (I work from home). Whenever possible, I prefer to meet outside.

      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!)
