125 Partying with Foreigners

　　Partying is fun.But have you ever been invited to a party by a foreigner？ What should you wear？ Should you bring anything？ If so，what？ Don't worry. Today we are going to give you some tips about partying with foreigners.

　　First， you should ask if it is a formal or casual party. Then you will know what to wear. It's as simple as that. At a casual party， it is customary to bring a bottle of wine or some other refreshment¹. It is not considered polite to bring someone along with you unless you first ask your host. At more formal parties like birthdays， a small gift will be sufficient. Giving money would cause some embarrassment². Finally， never overstay your welcome. When it's getting late， it's time to thank your host for a wonderful evening and say good night.
