Helping hand

If you’re one of the first guests to arrive, find out if there’s anything you can do to help the hostess get ready for the party. Being helpful can ease you into a social situation and give you something to do.

Get real

Sure, you want to be charming and entertaining and make a lasting impression on everyone at the party, but be realistic. The most important thing is to be yourself and have fun. Worrying about doing and saying everything perfectly isn’t necessary and doesn’t help.

Keep it in perspective

Parties can seem really, really important—and they are, to a point. But your entire life does not depend on what happens at one party. Even if you trip over your own feet in front of everyone, or blurt out something you wish you hadn’t said, don’t worry about it too much. Everyone has done something embarrassing at one point or another.
