As a party hostess at your place, what are some Do's and Don'ts?

Question

it's a college dorm drinking (or more) party.

Answer 1

I had several rules with my roommate. Whoever threw the party cleaned it up. I hated coming home to 100 beer bottles of a party the night before that I wasn't at. Also if its a 2 bathroom place, the bathroom belonging to the person throwing the party is the one you use. No one wants to clean up someone's puke that they don't even know/like.

Dont
*go in my bedroom. I closed and locked the door. The main area was public area but bedrooms are off limit
*be loud outside. it's not fair to neighbors trying to sleep
*invite out of obligation. We all know that person. That girl that spends the whole night crying in the bathroom in order to manipulate all the guys. The guy who is at outrageous star wars fan, but happens to be the randomly assigned roommate of your boyfriend. No one appreciates it. It ruins the party for most of your guests. Just don't invite your people in front of someone that you would feel obligated to invite
*feel ashamed to call for help. If people come who aren't invited, or who are doing things you don't want in your house, call backup. Either a big friend to help escort them out of house or if it gets outta hand, call the cops. (You can always blame the neighbor later)

Do
*invite your neighbors to your party. neighbors are way more likely to report you to authorities if they are neglected
*assign people stuff to bring. you are in college, you are broke. assign most of the freeloaders something to bring (a bag of chips, a 6 pack) so that you aren't spending all the money to provide it. No one minds a quick stop. You are providing the house. You aren't rich enough to be expected to provide everything.
*feel comfortable telling people what to do. If you don't allow smoking inside, feel comfortable telling them as soon as you see them that smoking must be outside. If you see someone drop a beer, feel comfortable throwing them the roll of paper towels. Remember it's your security deposit. If someone knocks a hole in the wall, get their name and number. Don't have a party if you can't order around drunks.

This is all I can think of. Hope it helps!

Answer 2

I'm just gonna guess
Do be nice
Do serve nice things
Do not talk
Do not pick your nose or anybody else's
Do not fart, ever should be no problem for a hostess (females dont fart)
Do not scratch yourself, armpits, anything, anywhere, ever, not even your nose
I've never actually been to a party where somene followed all those rules, or ever been to a party at all but whatever if I did thats what I would want
