5 types of people you'll meet at parties based on Padmini Sankar's The Mother of All Parties.

5 Types of People That Make a Party the Mother of All Parties

Seeing that it’s been some time since we attended a party, and probably going to be a while before we can safely attend another one (unless you’re feeling a foolish sense of fearlessness), we decided to take this chance to reminisce about the parties of the past. There are lots of things that make a party successful – delicious food, flowing drinks, groovy music… but it’s the people that can make or break a party. So check out the 5 types of people you’ll always find at a party:

1. Miss hoity-toity:

This one thinks she is doing you a favour just attending. She mostly keeps to herself, rarely speaks unless spoken to, and yet, finds a way to let you know what your party lacks.

This guest will ensure your party is a success by keeping you on your toes throughout. Identifiable characteristics include a designer bag, blow-dried hair, manicured nails, and a nose in the air.

2. Miss Helpabout:

This guest will help you lay the table, help with the drinks, and she’ll even help you out with taking care of new guests who feel out of place.

This guardian angel is a must-have on every party guest list – mostly because she takes over as hostess, and lets you enjoy your party as a guest! Who doesn’t want that?

3. Party diva:

The life and soul of the party, the belle of the ball – this guest will drink, dance and have fun with no inhibitions.

You’re going to need a PPE kit to keep out this guest’s contagious energy. She will let her hair down and let loose, and make sure everybody else does too!

4. Silent grape-vine:

This one sits quietly and watches everyone, making mental notes to report to her coterie later.

Seemingly uninterested, this chhupa rustam will soak in all the gossip from you and your friends to pass it on to her friends, who will pass it on to their friends, who will… you get the point. She comes to every party solely to get the tea, but she’s invited everywhere anyway – after all, the only thing worse than being spoken about is not being spoken about.

5. The wallflower:

Extremely shy, you’ll catch this guest wondering to herself how she’s landed up in all this mayhem in the first place.

Her self-consciousness will have your own confidence sky-rocketing. With an awkward smile plastered on her face, this endearing invitee is what we call ‘adorkable’ – adorable but in a dorky sort of way.

 

The pandemic has gone on long enough, but it has to end sooner or later (…right?). So till that day comes, prepare for the next big party you’ll attend by reading Padmini Sankar‘s The Mother of All Parties! Order your copy here.
