6 Office Party Etiquette Tips

You know those stories that stick around from year to year, how so-and-so got so drunk they tripped onto the CEO and spilled a drink, or when whats-her-name showed up in a miniskirt that was so short she suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction? You don’t want to be that guy, do you?

These 6 office party etiquette tips come from Star12, an authority in career advancement and a premier career training service. Follow them to maintain grace and humility when it’s time to attend your office party!

 

What to Avoid at Your Office Party

Office Party Etiquette Tips - Don't Drink Too Much1. Don’t Overdo the Drinking

It should go without saying that getting sloppy drunk in front of colleagues and bosses is a no-no, but it’s the essential, #1 tip for any office party etiquette list. While it’s completely acceptable to drink at most office parties, know your limit and stay at “social drinking” levels. Overindulgence could lead to embarrassment, ruin your reputation, and worse, leave you jobless.

 

2. Keep Your Clothes in Check

If you wouldn’t wear it to the office, you probably shouldn’t wear it to the office party.

 

3. Mingle Beyond Normal Bounds

Whether your office is made of 20 people or 2,000, the likeliness is that you’ve found a set of friends you’re comfortable with – you take lunch together, you take breaks together, and you’re going to the office party together. But don’t be the one to keep the high school cliques alive – Chat and network with people you don’t see everyday, and make friends with colleagues you may never have met!

 

4. It’s Not Your Party… So Stay When You Ought To

The office party is not your usual soiree. “Fashionably late” is more like 15 minutes than 2 hours. Even though you’re sacrificing your precious free time to see people you spend every day with, there is an expectation that you attend – and stay – for the office party. So watch the time, get there at a respectful hour, and even if you’re dying to get back into your pajamas, stay for at least an hour, probably longer.

 

Office Party Etiquette Tips #5 - Use Positive Body Language5. Master Bad Body Language

Even if you’re the type to cross your eyes several times a day, or you’re more comfortable with your arms crossed, you may be sending the wrong nonverbal cues when communicating at an office party. Even if your office party is more boring than cardboard, try to avoid that yawn! Be aware of your body language and be sure you’re sending the right signals.

 

6. Credit Where Credit is Due

Somebody put hard work into making your office’s holiday party happen. Give them a gracious thank you before leaving to show your gratitude!

 

You can survive your office holiday party and have fun! Just keep these 6 office party etiquette tips in mind when you’re ready to go to avoid disastrous social blunders and keep your job through 2012!
