Respond To The Invite Either Way
Promptlylet your host knowyou’ll be attending their soiree.
This not only shows your enthusiasm but also helps your host with planning.
Sometimes parties are kept small intentionally, so ask the host for permission first.
The same goes for bringing children if the invitation is unclear.
Don’t show up early, however, as it may put the host in a rushed state.
Buy A Good Bottle Of Bubbly
“Good” doesn’t necessarily mean expensive.
And don’t limit yourself to Champagne.
Cava and prosecco are wonderfulsparkling winesand are generally less expensive.
Help With Snacks
It’s always polite to ask “What can I bring?”
and New Year’s Eve is no exception.
Or bring a deck of tarot cards to predict what the year ahead will bring.
And if the host insists that they don’t need help, respect their wishes.
You don’t have to send aformal letterin the mail.
A quick text message or email only takes a few minutes to send and is always appreciated.
