How To Be The Perfect Guest - Business or Social

Written by Susan Dunn, M.A., The EQ Coach


When you're invited somewhere as "the guest," you really have a role to play, and it's an active one, not a passive one. You're there to enjoy yourself, but it's also up to you to make a positive contribution torepparttar gathering. Here are some rules to fall back on when you're not sure

BEFORE THE PARTY

When you get a written or e-mailed invitation, R.S.V.P. Those letters stand forrepparttar 131028 French Respondez S'il Vous Plait which means "respond, if you please". It's courteous to let your hosts know for meal planning, seating arrangements, etc.

Arrive 10-15 minutes afterrepparttar 131029 invitation time (but no later). This gives your hosts and/or hostess those last few minutes to prepare. Different parts ofrepparttar 131030 country and different cultures handle time differently, but that's your best bet unless you know otherwise.

Check and see if children are invited. If they aren't, it's not fair to just show up with your kids saying you couldn't get a sitter. The hostess may not have child-proofed her house, or may have sent her own children over torepparttar 131031 in-laws', or there may be a troublesome unfriendly dog inrepparttar 131032 house.

WHAT TO BRING

Don't arrive empty-handed. Bring along a nice little gift with you -- a bottle of wine, a bouquet of flowers, a packet of printed cocktail napkins, a little inspirational book ... You can never go wrong when you do something thoughtful. But don't bring food; that's your hosts' province forrepparttar 131033 evening.

It's always polite to ask "May I bring something," if it's a dinner party. If they say "Yes," ask what they'd like you to bring - meat dish, side, dish, dessert.

Once you're there, offer to help inrepparttar 131034 kitchen and offer to help withrepparttar 131035 dishes. You may be told "no," but at least you asked.

PARTICIPATE!

My Dad used to tell me "Don't be a bump on a log!" Well, this applies to being a good guest. It's up to YOU to make it a party. Talk to someone who's alone, mix and mingle, make good conversation, do your part.
