Question

I was invited to a friend's party and was pressured into drinking and stuff last year. How can I say I don't want to go?

Community Answer

Just tell them kindly but firmly something like, "I appreciate your gracious invite and I thank you, but I don't want to go because you drink. I'm not into drinking, and I don't want to go somewhere I'm going to be peer pressured." If they blow up/won't be your friend anymore, then they were not a very good friend to begin with and you're better off.

Question

I have many friends, but no one invites me to parties. What can I do?

Community Answer

Throw your own party! The more you put yourself out there, the more people will consider you as a person they want to have at their party.

Question

How do I get my friends to want to invite me over?

Community Answer

Invite friends to your house, or if you can't have company, organize another get together, like dinner at a fun restaurant or something like that. Initiating plans is a great way for people to see you as someone who is fun and interesting to be around, and after a while, people will invite you to their events too, because you become a person that they want to be around and want to be associated with.

Question

How do I get myself invited to places like the swimming pool or the movies where my friends hang out often?

Community Answer

Ask to go when you hear them making plans. For example, if you hear some friends making plans to go to the mall, don't be afraid to say something like "Oh, you're all going to the mall? That sounds like fun! Do you think I could come?" Please note that this is called fishing for an invitation, and is looked down upon by many people if done for attention or otherwise without good intentions.

Question

I am nerdy and quiet and have never been invited to a party. How can I get invited to a party?

Community Answer

Follow the instructions in this article! You might also try making new friends who are also nerdy and quiet. If you have polite friends or acquaintances, invite them to one of your parties and they might return the favor!

Question

I don't think my friend will let me tag along with her to the party. None of the other options work for me either, what do I do? I really want to go to this party.

Community Answer

The easiest thing to do is just casually ask the host, "So, what are you doing this weekend?" or whenever the party is. If they say they're having a party but they don't invite you, or if they say nothing about the party, you pretty much just have to accept that you're not invited. But there's definitely a chance they will invite you to the party.

Question

If I get invited then uninvited, should I just show up anyway?

Community Answer

No. If you were uninvited, it is not good etiquette to still show up.

Question

I like to smoke cigarettes, but my friends don’t like it. Should I find new, cooler, cigarette-smoking friends?

Community Answer

No. Just avoid smoking around your friends. You're going to have to learn to accommodate non-smokers. Meanwhile, do yourself a huge favor and stop smoking. See Quit Smoking .

A friend invited me to her party, and I want to bring my two best friends who aren't close to the host. What should I do?

Sydni Byrd

Community Answer

You should ask the host first, but don't worry too much. Bring your friends, introduce them, and make sure they don't feel left out.

Question

Why are my friends not inviting me to parties, and what can I do?

Kitty

Community Answer

Talk to them in a private setting. Let them know you feel hurt when you're excluded from activities. Friends should not intentionally exclude you, and if they do, they might not be true friends.

Question

My friend is throwing a party but said she'll contact me later because so many people are coming. What does this mean?

Community Answer

Your friend is likely prioritizing other guests over you. You might want to reconsider attending if that's the case.
