Guests are often expected to RSVP on time or tell the host their dietary needs. If you fail at these things, you might be considered a \u201cbad guest\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Who <i>really cares<\/i> if you\u2019re a bad guest? Shouldn\u2019t you be concentrating on having a good time, regardless of what other people need from you? Never mind that the way you behave at events can influence what your friends, family, and hosts think about you. Don\u2019t worry about how your actions will affect the event planner\u2019s ability to keep things running smoothly for other guests.

Go ahead and ignore this date! Don\u2019t let hosts or event planners pressure you into making decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, they need to know so they can prepare enough food, etc. but that\u2019s not your problem. If you miss the RSVP date, the planner might send you a reminder in the mail. The host might even call you. Don\u2019t give in! Decide whether you\u2019ll attend at the very last second, no matter how that affects hosts and planners. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Event-Blog-How-to-Become-a-terrible-guest-online-event-planning-training-RSVP.jpg\" alt=\"Event Blog How to Become a terrible guest- online event planning training RSVP\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feel_free_to_bring_people\"><\/span>Feel free to bring people<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The more the merrier! The invite might just be for you, or the hosts might say you can bring one guest, but that\u2019s not important. Feel free to bring as many unexpected friends as you please. It\u2019s not a real party without a few party crashers! Planners and hosts can account for last minute additions by scrambling for extra chairs and shrinking everyone\u2019s meals so your friends can have a snack too.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_your_dietary_needs_a_secret_until_you_arrive\"><\/span>Keep your dietary needs a secret until you arrive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While you\u2019re keeping details from the hosts, don\u2019t bother telling them your dietary needs either. If they\u2019re going to throw an event, they should assume that at least some people are gluten free vegans who only eat organic produce and are allergic to peanuts and soy. <\/p>\n<p>Planners should prepare for you to tell them upon arrival that you can\u2019t eat that food. If they\u2019re smart, they\u2019ll have a good salad bar or alternative meal for you to enjoy. If not, use your complaints about not being catered to as a conversation starter for the rest of the night!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Event-Blog-How-to-Become-a-terrible-guest-online-event-planning-training-dietary-restrictions.jpg\" alt=\"Event Blog How to Become a terrible guest- online event planning training dietary restrictions\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arrive_much_earlier_than_you_were_asked_to\"><\/span>Arrive much earlier than you were asked to<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone sends you an invite, the least they can do is work around your personal schedule. If you have nothing to do three hours before the start time on your invitation, why not arrive whenever you please?<\/p>\n<p>The times on the invitation are just suggestions anyway. If the hosts and planners aren\u2019t ready, they\u2019ll have no problem dropping what they\u2019re doing to make sure you\u2019re comfortable. They can always work around you. Don\u2019t feel obligated to help, even if you\u2019re there for hours. Guests are supposed to enjoy themselves, not work.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_much_later_than_everyone_else\"><\/span>Stay much later than everyone else<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The end time on an invitation is just another a suggestion. Sure, hosts and planners have to clean up before the venue closes or their kids wake up in the morning, but that\u2019s their responsibility, not yours. In fact, they should be flattered if you\u2019re having so much fun that you don\u2019t want to go! Wait until the planner or host finally asks you to leave.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_your_phone_as_often_as_possible\"><\/span>Check your phone as often as possible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re a busy person with a lot of Facebook notifications. You shouldn\u2019t have to leave tweets waiting just because the people at this event want to talk to you. The people around you might not be checking their phones, but that\u2019s their own choice.<\/p>\n<p>Events are noisy! You\u2019ll want to make sure to leave your ringer on and as loud as possible so you don\u2019t miss a single \u201cbeep\u201d from texts, notifications, or phone calls.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_a_Negative_Nancy\"><\/span>Be a Negative Nancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As kids, we\u2019re taught that we shouldn\u2019t take our bad moods out on other people, especially in public. You\u2019re an adult now, though, and no one should tell you what to do! If you\u2019re not enjoying this event or its guests, let them know. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe this event isn\u2019t about you, but redirecting peoples\u2019 attention never hurts, even if it\u2019s just the result of your sour disposition. It\u2019s not your problem if people are offended or uncomfortable, so express your negativity if it feels right!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Event-Blog-How-to-Become-a-terrible-guest-online-event-planning-training-for-angry-guests.jpg\" alt=\"Event Blog How to Become a terrible guest- online event planning training for angry guests\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_it_all_about_you\"><\/span>Make it all about you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of re-directing attention, you should do so at every opportunity. Events are the perfect opportunity to create yourself an audience. Maybe the event is supposed to be about the birthday girl, but who really needs an entire day devoted to them anyways? They won\u2019t care if you commandeer conversations and drown everyone else out. If other guests want attention as well, they can compete with you for it. Until then, enjoy that spotlight no matter who the event is for!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drink_as_much_as_you_want\"><\/span>Drink as much as you want<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to attend an event, you might as well have a good time! Get the party started with a few drinks just to break the ice. Why stop after your warm up cocktails? Drinking more will help you with other \u201cbad guest habits\u201d, like steal the center of attention or give everyone a taste of your bad mood. If the host or planner starts to hint that you\u2019ve had enough, stand up for yourself! They invited you here, so they should respect your desire to drink 13 martinis.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Event-Blog-How-to-Become-a-terrible-guest-online-event-planning-training-drink-as-much-as-you-want.jpg\" alt=\"Event Blog How to Become a terrible guest- online event planning training drink as much as you want\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"highlight\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_event_planners_will_take_care_of_it\"><\/span>The event planners will take care of it!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Being a terrible guest is your right as an invitee.
