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 aren't, don't bring yours. Nor should you expect your host and hostess to solve the babysitter dilemma for you.
4. Don't 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! It's up to you to make it a party. Talk to someone who's alone, mix and mingle, make good conversation, make it a point to talk with everyone there at some point, do your part.
7. Don't overstay your welcome -- no matter how much you're enjoying
yourself. Use your intuition. You may've been told 2-5, or just "come around 8", but your host and/or hostess will give off nonverbal signals when it's time for you to go home. Why leave? You had a nap, got your nails done, watched the football game. They've 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 d'oeuvres.
9. Say good-bye. Even if it's 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. It's just a nice thing to do!
