Here are a few tips that I have garnered from parties of late:

·When bringing a bottle of wine to a house party, look for wine with a funny name like Fat Bastard or Woop Woop. Your hosts will remember you!

·Be sure to greet the host and other guests before making a mad dash to the bar area.

·Play a fun game like Taboo at the party, but don’t get too hung up on winning. People tend to get competitive. Apples To Apples and Boggle are also fun games.

·Don’t reciprocate when a drunk-but-cute guest flirts with you in front of his girlfriend. (He will need assistance getting home, so let the girlfriend handle the bastard.)

·Offer to prepare a dish, but make sure it’s delish!

·Thanks your hosts and think of inviting them to your next bash if you have an apartment that fits more than you and your roommate.
