Being a wallflower has its perks -- except for when you want to meet new people. Shy and quiet types might prefer to stay home with a good book, but it's healthy to branch out every once in a while, and a fun party is a great way to do it.
Before you wear your nails down to the cuticles at the mere thought of a shindig, perhaps a game plan will help you get you through the night. Besides, it's a lot more fun than getting more acquainted with your host's house pet.

It's time to move from being a fly on the wall to a social butterfly. Take a deep breath, because you're about to become the life of the party.
