Hi, welcome to the topic of Party Etiquette. I was thinking about parties with May having so many graduations. Summer holidays just around the corner. And of course, June is the month for weddings. For the online social bloggers, we have linkup parties! 🙂
Have you ever wondered how to behave? What you should or should not say? Below are party tips to make you the best guest, one who is always welcome to social gatherings.
RSVP let the host if you will be attending or not.
Be On Time or 10 to 15 minutes after the start time. The host will most likely be doing last minute decorating.
Mingle visit everyone do not dominate a select few.
Be Present Keep the cell phone tucked away.
Engage actively take part in conversations. Look people in the eye when you speak with them.
Enjoy Yourself smile, do not stand in a corner.
Exit Graciously notice when guests begin to leave. The host provided an invite with start and end times. Be courteous and not overstay the welcome.
Say Thanks the host took the time to plan a get together. Let the host know that you enjoyed the party and thank them for inviting you.
Hi, May Day brings back fun memories. Did you ever make May Day baskets, filled with flowers picked from the yard. My baskets were filled with grass and dandelions!! I would make my baskets using construction paper and glue. Then I would take one over to Mrs. Barkley. She was the elderly cool lady where all the neighbor kids would go and we would all be in her living room playing with many of her toys she had. I’d take this basket I made, hang it on her door. Then I would dash to hide. Mrs. Barkley would always come find me. Once found, I would go into her living room, talk and drink tea. Good times.
01. May 1st is my favorite Aunt’s birthday.
02. Movie and Dinner night with Adam. Dinner was Ziti. The movie, The Great Wall. Adam did select the movie this time. I must admit, I really enjoy the time we spend together more each time.
