There’s a fine line between the good guest and, well, the not-as-good guest.  The good guest is consistently invited to dinner parties, birthday celebrations, and weekends in the country.  The key to becoming a good guest is quite simple…A good guest:

“Arrives slightly late. And leaves on time.

A good guest brings energy and charm and a small present.

A dinner guest engages the person of his right and left.

A party guest mingles and meets everyone.

A house guest is self-sufficient, not needing constant entertainment.

All good guests write thank you notes.

Very good guests also call the next day.”
