Air Max 1 Shoes How To Be The Perfect Guest |

If the party was for a holiday, birthday, or milestone celebration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a written thank-you is more polite. It can be through online mediums such as e-mail or facebook, though. A card in the mail isn't necessary in this case.
Even if it is something small like extra supplies (napkins, plastic cutlery) the host will appreciate it. More invites (and brownie points) are likely to be given to someone if they bring bigger items such as a tray of tasty appetizers or a bottle of wine.
Call the host and ask if there are any supplies that still need picking up. Whether it's paper plates, a cake, or even the guest of honor (if there is one), the host will be grateful someone is offering assistance.
Keep an eye on the host periodically to see if they need assistance - resist the urge to help serve food, though. Placing a plate or tray on tables is okay but one wouldn't want to be confused with the host or a hired server.
When looking through literature on etiquette and party planning, there are many sources explaining how to be the perfect host. Lists of dos and don'ts when catering to your guests' needs are abundant along with tips guaranteeing the reader will be the best host in their social circles.

When organizing any type of social gathering, the host will be very busy with numerous tasks that are involved in creating a successful party. Even the best of hosts can forget something in the throes of party preparation.This is where a guest can be a great help.
During The Party
However, there is much less information regarding behavior of guests. Obviously basic manners and rules of common courtesy should be used when visiting the home of someone else. To make the host comfortable and increase the likelihood of being invited to future events, there are several things every guest should do.
If the party is for a gift-giving occasion (birthday, graduation, baby shower, etc.) the gift that one is--assumedly--already bringing is acceptable.
While the event might be the most innovative and exciting party ever organized,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is in poor taste to arrive at the exact start time of the party. Never arrive earlier. The host may be running behind and can often use an extra 15 minutes.
The party is over: it was a great success and everyone enjoyed themselves. No matter how large or small the event was, it is customary to extend thanks to the host(s). Let the type of party set the tone of the thank you.
Know when to leave. Although the party was fun and the energy may seem to be everlasting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is never a good idea to be the final guest to leave. Hosting an ev
Before Going To The Party
When the party is coming to a close, be sure and offer to help clean. Making a mess without at least offering to clean it up is plain rude. If the host refuses to take help that is fine, but one should make the gesture.
If the party was extremely formal (like a wedding) then a handwritten thank-you sent through the mail is mandatory.
If it was a casual barbeque or a simple get-together, a verbal thank you or an invite to the next event is perfectly acceptable.
Although a host might tell you they don't need anything for the party, it is a nice gesture to bring something anyway. Going to a party empty-handed isn't necessarily rude, but it can come off as thoughtless and ungrateful.
Even if the host does refuse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is in good taste to help tidy a little bit--throwing some garbage away or bringing dishware into the kitchen. This will show the host that help will be there if and when they need it at other events.
