Instructions

- 1
  
  Go to any event or party you're invited to. If you want to snag the role of "life of the party," you should make every effort to attend celebrations you're invited to.
- 2
  
  Balance out your calendar and date book. Keep dates organized or you're bound to be overwhelmed by the sheer hysteria accompanying your lifestyle.
- 3
  
  Be fashionably late. There is a fine line between "fashionably" late and "rude" late. It's widely accepted to be 10 to 15 minutes late to an event. Arrive any later than that, and you run the risk of looking careless.

  Wear the best outfit you can find. Yes, designer clothes look great on everyone. But, many discount stores like Target and Kohl's make stylish clothes at half the price of department store finds. Look stunning and you'll surely feel your best.

  Get to know people you haven't already met. If you have something in common, plug their number into your Blackberry or choice of PDA. Nothing screams "social butterfly" like making your rounds at a party full of confidence.

  Get involved in the party. If everyone is dancing, join in. If guests are having a drink, order up a martini. Volunteer to lead a dance or game of some kind. Social butterflies stand out and look good while doing so.

  Keep a smile on your face. Everyone likes a friendly smile and more often than not, if you approach anyone with a smile, they'll likely reciprocate the gesture.
- 8
  
  Follow up on your events. Send thank you cards and respond to e-mails or calls from party hosts or guests.

Tips & Warnings

Stay "in the know" on upcoming parties or events. Plan to attend and keep your calendar open.
Never be catty or unfriendly. A true social butterfly knows that their confidence and warmth attract the best kind of attention.
