Shveta Salve takes her partying seriously. She doesn't take kindly to social bloopers. Shveta shares her faux pas list with CS:
Wasted nights
Drinking the party away can land you in deep trouble. You're not only perceived as someone who has come to a party to enjoy free booze, but also as someone who has no control over his or her drinking. And God help you if you get sloshed and pass out!
Talk time
There are people, who after a few drinks down, start putting their foot in their mouth. I see many such characters at parties, who start babbling and thanks to the grapevine, everyone knows who they're referring to. And what's worse, sometimes they don't even realise that the person they might be bashing verbally has friends around, who will convey every word to the target.
Style gone awry
It is very important to dress as per the occasion. I have no clue why people show up in boots at an outdoor event. It always helps to stick to the classic style options.
Late bloomers
Being fashionably late is one thing, but being excessively late is unfashionable. Sometimes guests walk in when the party is almost getting over. I suggest, you add say 40 minutes to the time on the invite. Making an entry after that is not going to do much for an impression.
Hug of war
Imagine this: You're sweaty, your perfume has evaporated, you've had a few puffs and you're five pegs down. Just in case you're too drunk to know your manners, I suggest you don't go around giving free hugs.
