Introduction• In our surroundings we see that many people are

facing stress and anxiety.

• The main reason behind this is lack of social skills. To overcome this we have to build up our relationship.

• Today we will learn how we can overcome this situation by being a good guest.

How To Be A Good Guest?

• One can improve his social skills as a good guest by practicing the following

• Do’s and Don’t

Do’s Pre – arrival Be - On time To Bring with you Ask for contribution Replace the things you use it Talk to people you don't know. A Thank you note

Pre-arrival• In case of Invitation(R.S.V.P)

• Respond to your invitation as soon as you know (and no later than the stated RSVP date) whether or not you can attend the party.

• Tell your hosts when you'll be arriving, when you're leaving, and what plans, if any, you might have.

Be On Time• Arrive at a dinner party on-

time.

• Some hostesses plan the timing of their meals very precisely, and you wouldn't want to hold up the meal and spoil the food for everyone else

To Bring with You:

• I think a host/hostess gift of some sort is a must. It can be

somethingas simple as flowers, a box ofchocolates, a basket of fruit,

Ask For Contribution:• Ask if you can contribute

anything to the meal such as an appetizer, side dish or dessert

• When the meal is over, ask your hostess if you can help clear the table. But if her answer is "no thanks", then just relax and leave things alone.

• She may not wish for everyone to feel rushed as their plates are taken from them mid-bite.

If you use it, replace it• If you end up using all of the conditioner on your

tangle-free mane, devouring an entire loaf of bread, and polishing off the last of the milk, it's time to hit the store.

• Replenish the things you've used, and you'll be remembered as generous and considerate, rather than someone who eats their friends out of house and home.

Talk to people you don't know.• Sure, all your friends are at

the party. But these are all people you'll see again.

• how are you goanna meet new people

• Talking to new people is also a HUGE favor to your hostess, who will have to worry less about guests

Send a thank-you note• No, an email won't suffice,

nor will a phone call. Instead, grab a card, include a few words of kindness and thanks, and mail it to them

• It should only take you a few minutes, and it will mean a lot.

Don't Show up right on time Don’t raise controversial

issues Don’t overstay your welcome Don’t use aggressive tone ''Ghost' without saying

goodbye to your host.

Show up right on time• If you find yourself arriving at party within 15 minutes

of the stated start time, nip around the corner for a coffee, or hang out at a bookstore for a bit, or just sit in your car.

• This will give your host a little breathing room and ensure that you don't walk in on them doing frantic last minute preparations.

Don't Be Controversial • Don't raise a controversial topic that you know will

cause dissension among that particular group of guests.

• Save that for when you're the host in your own home

Don’t overstay your welcome• “Guests, like fish, begin to

smell after three days.”

• Do give some thought to how long you can stay as a guest in someone’s house

Never Use Aggressive Tone• Be polite,

• As a guest one should never use harsh words, be very kind polite with host and other guests.

''Ghost' without saying goodbye to your host.

• You don't have to make a big deal of announcing your exit to every guest at the party,

• But you should at least find your host and let them know that you had a lovely time but unfortunately you have to leave.

• This will keep them from fielding questions about what happened to so-and-so all night long.

Reciprocate• Invite your hosts to stay with you next time they're in

town. If not, invite them for dinner or offer to play tour guide.

• Not only will you get to pay them back for their hospitality, but you'll have a better idea of how difficult being a good host can be.

Thank you
