know before you go

No two parties are exactly the same, but with the exception of sleepovers, most parties follow similar schedules.

After guests arrive, the hostess will introduce everyone and leave time for chatting. Sometimes a light snack, such as chips and soda, will be served while guests get to know each other better.

Then there’s often some sort of activity, such as playing games or sports, swimming, dancing, or doing something that matches the party’s theme.

Following the activity, it’s time to eat—usually pizza, burgers, or cake is served.

If it’s a birthday party, opening presents might follow the meal.

After that, it’s usually time to go.

Guests are often friends and family members of the hostess. Some guests may know each other from school, but there may be other guests who don’t, such as the hostess’s cousin or girls from her ballet class.

The hostess’s mom and dad, or other adult, will chaperone the party. They’re there to make sure the party goes smoothly.

The one thing you can count on is that the hostess wants all her guests to have a good time.
