SAN ANTONIO - Skip the skimpy costume for the office party says Diane Gottsman. The etiquette experts offers some tips to make this year's Halloween party a hit instead of a nightmare.
Click here to watch...1. Volunteer to be on the planning committee – shows the boss you are a team player
2. Send out an invitation - sets the tone and specifies the theme
3. Pick out the perfect playlist – what’s a party without music? No dirty dancing!
4. Do something besides eat – Have a “best treat” contest, trick or treat in your office building or have a Halloween Boo Buddy
5. Don’t under-dress – don’t wear anything skimpy or sleazy and stay away from religious themed, bloody or political
6. Be part of the group – don’t be the party pooper that doesn’t dress up or only wears one tiny article or prop
7. Don’t show up with a plus one – unless they were invited
8. Say cheese – don’t forget that everything you do can be captured on the internet forever
9. Don’t leave the party until it’s almost over – slipping out early is not reflective of an employee that is enjoying herself
10. Offer to clean up – at least offer even if the host says no
