New Year's Party Etiquette

>> Monday, December 28, 2009


Sometimes we get questions about throwing parties that fall into that sticky-wicket of entertaining etiquette, so we decided to start posting the occasional Etiquette Q&A...


Q: Is it appropriate to stay and help clean after the party?

A: As a general rule, I always offer to stay and help; but if the host or hostess declines the offer I don't press it. Ask only once...more than that is just plain annoying.


And when I'm hosting, I certainly don't expect help with the clean-up. In fact, I prefer that guests leave with memories of a wonderful night of fun, rather than memories of soapy dishwasher hands.

Okay, coming over from Tangarang(?) right. Get the guests out is my opinion. Mine are generally drunk and put stuff away in the totally wrong spot. No help is better than disorganized help. I will follow you here. You have brilliant design ideas and a great sense of humor. How cute are you?!
