12 things to Behave at Social Parties

1. Stay upbeat. Whenever you go to any party, make sure you are in a good mood. If you are not in a good mood, it can even spoil others' moods also.

2. Dress properly according to the place. If you are attending a religious gathering or function, a nice suit or dress would be an appropriate choice. If it is a friend's party, you can probably wear more casual clothing.

3. Be cheerful. As you enter the party, have a smile on your face and greet the host and other people whom you know.

4. Try to meet everyone present at the party. Parties are great places to meet new people and form new friendships!

5. Talk to people before you rush to eat. There will be plenty of time for eating, and the most action in a party usually happens near the beginning. Have some conversations with people and be social!

6. Eat with care. While eating food, be careful that you don't spill any on your clothes. A stained dress won't impress anyone!

7. Offer to bring food or water to other people. People will see this as being very polite and considerate.

8. If there is a child with you, ask them to say hello and greet others. Make sure the child is behaving properly at all times. Introduce them to other children that may be there so that they can talk with people their own age.

9. Do not talk about sensitive issues, such as politics or religion, while at a party.Having an argument break out in the middle of everything is not what you want to happen!

10. Be kind to other people. Give others compliments to be polite, and stay away from saying anything which could be interpreted as an insult.

11. Enjoy the party! Have fun! If there are times to be serious, or it is a serious event, make sure that you are acting appropriately for the occasion. If it's a more casual party, feel free to enjoy yourself!

12. While leaving from party meet the host, tell him/her that you are leaving. Do not forget to say thanks for inviting.
