Without Kinect - Press the menu button, scroll to party, select, check friend is still in the party, B to back out, scroll back to game and then select.

With Kinect - While playing, say "Xbox snap party". The game continues playing and the party shows on the right. You see your friend is still there. "Xbox unsnap". Job done.

Kinect is used for more though. You can watch TV while playing just by saying "Xbox snap tv". You can also Skype, record gameplay and use it as a microphone if there is more than one person in the room.

Im in the dash preview group, the new dash allows a double tap of the xbox button to quickly do "record that" and to snap apps if you dont have a kinect.
