00:00 Party Guest Etiquette Introduction

Whether it’s cocktails, dinner at a colleague's or friend’s house, or maybe even a neighborhood barbeque, attending a party can be a wonderful occasion for many of us. But there’s no denying that being invited as a guest to a party can be a source of anxiety, too.

01:10 Why Does Etiquette Matter?

Until the overall casualization of society that began in the mid-to-late 20th century, an invitation was both a request and instruction all in one, with hardly any possibility for misinterpretation.

Nowadays, as society has become less strict with these things, an invitation to a party can be more easily misconstrued, often leading hosts to provide a more lengthy request in order to explain their wishes for the event. But, even with a well-thought-through invitation and diligence to follow it, you’ve still got to navigate the party itself!
