be a great guest

Give the hostess the gift of being a good guest. Even if it means playing a game you don’t like or doing an activity you’ve never tried, look on the bright side:

• You’re spending time with your friends. • You’re trying different things. • You’re learning how to be patient, respectful, and generous.

It’s not about you No one can have her way all the time. A party—especially a birthday party—is for the girl hosting it. Guests are there to celebrate her. That means doing what she wants to do (unless it’s not safe, of course), even if it’s watching her favorite movie for the fifth time!

Be flexible Most things in life don’t turn out exactly the way we think they will, and parties are no exception. You might be planning on going to a pool party, but it ends up pouring rain on party day. Be willing to go with the flow and handle any change of plans that might come up during the party. Not only will you make things easier for the hostess by being flexible, but a better attitude will help you have a better time.
