My sister and her boyfriend, Had a party for the 4th of July, And have regular get togethers. She has friends that come over, and he does too..And they both have friends together. Isnt it polite to introduce all the friends.....My boyfriend and I were talking about this - We think they should introduce people. I know some people...and they are like whos that? Soemtimes like the first few people they will introduce....Then they just get caught up with everyone and just forget about anyone else that comes in to introduce them....ALl the people there know the hosts...but dont know one another...Shouldnt they just do a name intro at least?

What about other people...Not me...Should I take it upon myself to introduce two people...A few I barely know though myself.

YOu are very polite to want to bring strangers together!
It is a smoother transiton to intoduce a few guests to each other gradually, then forcing everyone to shake hands at once. Just think of people who don't know each other, then quietly mention that you would like them to meet someone. They may make a good couple, have common interests or be in the same line of work. That is always a great way to get it started.
Unfortunately, not everyone can meet (or has to meet) and remember the names of everyone in the room upon formal introductions. These aren't always the "best" ways to make new friends. It is a little awkward to memorize names and doesn't personalize the intro enough. One on one is the easiest and most graceful way to bring two people together. They can talk and get to know one another at their own speed and interest level. Relax...

Well you can't introduce everyone, but what you should do is introduce people that you know would get along. Just get a few conversations poppin and from there it should take off.
Just think about things that people may have in common, like if they work in the same field as the other person or the 2 people have an affinity for the same thing.

Yes, the polite thing for them to do is to introduce everyone. Though as the person stated before they are busy preparing food etc. and may lose track of who has or has not been introduced. Therefore as sister of the hostess you could help her out and introduce yourself and other people at the party. It doesn't hurt to come out of your shell a bit and meet new people.

yes they should but it shoudlnt stop you from introducing yourselfs as well. dont leave all that up to the host, sometimes they are busy preparing food, etc, so if u say "hi, im so and so and the host is my sister" it stricks up a conversation and gives u something to talk about amongst urselves.
