Glad to see you stopped by again. Obviously you need to brush up on proper party etiquette or you think I’m a genius. Either way, I like the way you’re thinking.
#2: “Plus one” does not mean “bring your entire family.”
Free food or open bar does not constitute reasons for sucking the host dry. This isn’t revenge against Goldilocks; you don’t get to bring Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear to eat all the porridge. The only exception is when otherwise specified by the host or event organizer. Know your limits. If the event is a fundraiser, by all means buy tickets for the entire family including Grandpa and Grandma Bear… the more the merrier! However, if the event is closed to the public and you have been one of the few to receive an invite, don’t get overzealous and assume the invite was for you and the whole Bear clan. Chances are the event organizers have a certain number of expected attendees based on the guest list and throwing an extra 2-3 people in the mix might not jive with the plan, especially if other guests commit the same party foul.
Tune in tomorrow for tip #3: The early bird gets the worm and cheaper tickets!
