As Kim Zolciak, the chain-smoking-weave-tastic blonde of Real Housewives of Atlanta, once said “Don’t be tardy for the party… ooh oooh,” and she was oh so right, for once. Big Poppa? C’mon girl! What are you thinking? Nonetheless, after recently organizing an event, I realized: people need to brush up on their party etiquette skills. So I decided to strike back, if you will, in a deeply satiric blog post. I will cure guests of their naiveté, one party foul at a time!

All right, here it goes…

#1: Being “fashionably late” is not fashionable!

I move to rename this phrase to “Self-Important Syndrome.” Now, I’m not saying that everyone who is late to a party or event is self-important, just the chronically late or probably most annoying the excessively late. I understand sometimes issues arise that need to be addressed immediately, but please don’t show up to a four hour event at the end of hour three and expect catering to have saved you a generous smattering of heavy hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Basically what I’m saying is, don’t be upset at the event organizers or vendors because YOU missed out on all the good stuff. After all, you were the one who choose to come down with a case of Self-Important Syndrome.

Check back tomorrow for tip #2: “Plus one” does not mean “bring your entire family.”
