1. When you get an invitation, R.S.V.P.2. Arrive 10-15 minutes after the invitation time (but no later). This gives your host and/or hostess those last few minutes to prepare.3. Check and see if children are invited. If they arent, dont bring yours. Nor should you expect your host and hostess to solve the babysitter dilemma for you.4. Dont arrive empty-handed. A bottle of wine, a bouquet of flowers, a packet of printed cocktail napkins, a little inspirational book ...5. Offer to help in the kitchen, offer to help with the dishes. You may be told "no," but at least you asked.6. Participate! Its up to you to make it a party. Talk to someone whos alone, mix and mingle, make good conversation, make it a point to talk with everyone there at some point, do your part.7. Dont overstay your welcome -- no matter how much youre enjoying yourself. Use your intuition. You mayve been told 2-5, or just "come around 8", but your host and/or hostess will give off nonverbal signals when its time for you to go home. Why leave? You had a nap, got your nails done, watched the football game. Theyve been cooking and cleaning for days.8. Pitch in in an unobtrusive way. Empty some ash trays, clear off the coffee table of used dishes, whisk your hosts kid off to the bathroom, pass around a plate of hot hors doeuvres.9. Say good-bye. Even if its a large gathering, seek out the host and/or hostess and tell them good bye, and thank them!10. Send a written thank-you note afterwards. Its just a nice thing to do!
