Party Etiquette
Being a bit of a social butterfly, parties are my thing: before I started going to lots of parties they did make me a bit nervous, I confess, but now it’s easy. I walk in, I feel like I belong, and I have a good time. And in London there’s always a good party happening somewhere, but you obviously knew that already, right? If you didn’t you should have.
With parties in mind, I decided this morning that I would write about party etiquette. Far too many people aren’t aware of the un-written rules that apply to the party atmosphere. For those people, I’ve detailed them as per below. Please, if you’re someone with next to no idea – or worse, someone with really NO idea – then read on and do as I say, otherwise me and you might just fall out…
1) When you arrive, make eye contact: if there’s one thing that instantly makes a lot of people dislike your presence, it’s not looking at them briefly. Walk in with that kind of nonchalance and what do you expect?
2) Feel free to help yourself to food, but don’t get silly now: this applies to all guests. Take a plate full, but please, if you’re the kind of scoffer who can eat a plate in one minute flat, wait until others have had their turn before getting more.
3) If you knock over someone’s drink then acknowledge and help them out: nobody likes a drink-knocker-over-ignorer, and let’s face it, would you appreciate that if it happened to you and went all over your neatly pressed shirt? Me thinks not young man or woman! And don’t come up with some lame excuse like “I was just thinking about this web-site…ahhh… Search Enigin – sorry, oh and my gran is in hospital so I wasn’t concentrating”. Nobody appreciates that!
