They say loneliness exist mostly when you are crowded. Imagine what it might be like for an individual, to sit in a corner at a party sulking in solitude; watching the crowd exclude him/her from their fun and games or worst, not inviting the particular person to the party in the first place! Now, you would definitely not want to walk in those shoes do you nor would you want to make an impression of a lonesome lingering soul at a bash. So, here we bring you a few tips and tricks on how you can electrify your profile at a party.
1. Take the prime position
As the heart of the party is in the centre, always make sure you head straight into the middle of the room. Just for the sake of comfort, make sure you take two or three of your buddies along, actually the more the merrier. According to Cosmo’s body language expert Jainie Driver, this is a trick that’s going to make you appear as the center of attention to the other people who walk in. She says they’ll naturally gravitate towards you.

2. Wear a killer outfit (for ladies)
Well ladies, it’s obvious, a killer outfit is definitely the way to dress to impress at a bash. According to Jainie Driver again, the more skin you show in the winter, the more you will stand out in a crowd. So, a strapless dress that maximizes the amount of shoulder you show off is definitely recommended. However, you don’t need to wear Gucci or Versace, all you need to do is be creative. Throw on a flowy top and dark skinny jeans, but blend in with well, spend a little extra time to pick out an outfit that is unique, fun, and really stands apart. Look for bright colors, unique combinations or prints, or anything that is 100% you and no one else.

3. Perfect your smile
The biggest mistake people make in social situations is putting on the perma-smile, which comes off as insincere. Instead, don a close-lipped smirk, like you have a secret you’re just dying to tell. Then wait until after you say hi to someone to flash them a big smile. You want them to think that they’re the reason you’re suddenly so happy.

4. Don’t be afraid to touch
When you’re chatting with someone, casually place a hand on his or her arm. Touch triggers good feelings and signals special treatment — so not only will the person you’re talking to like you more, other people will wish they were the object of your rapt attention.

5. Take care of the posture
Rather than sitting with your hands at your side, move one elbow onto the back of your chair. This subtle move amps up your sexiness factor and exudes confidence. If you’re standing, you can get the same effect by leaning on a nearby bar or countertop with one arm. And, definitely try to keep your hands off your hair as it sends a message to both men and women that you’re insecure or nervous. Also, as the party gets packed, change your locale every 10 or 15 minutes. It can be as simple as walking from the bar over to the window or the couch. Each time you move to a different setting, you’ll be seen from a new angle, making you seem instantly more dynamic.

6. Let your cocktail do the talking
Hold your glass in one hand and off to the side as opposed to directly in front of you with two hands. Doing so will show off your wrists (a move men find particularly attractive because it hints at openness and vulnerability) and leave your midsection — a power zone that communicates confidence — unobstructed.
But it’s not only the body language that makes the impact; there are some other things that you have to keep in mind. Read the list below:
7. Be on time
Punctuality is a must. They say, be fashionably late, but hey why you don’t be the trendsetter this time by being on time. At the same time, don’t come early or you may catch your host unprepared for your early arrival.

8. Bring a gift
It’s always a nice practice to bring a little gift for the host. It could be a bottle of wine, a small inexpensive flower arrangement or something as simple as a card. A little gift is a nice way of showing your appreciation for the effort put into the event and for being included.

9. Upon arrival, offer to help
When you arrive, ask if there is anything you can do to help. There are almost always last minute things that need to be done and your offer will be appreciated. If there isn’t anything to do, you can bet your offer to help will make an impression. When you attend events with family and “close” friends, look for the things you can do without being asked to help. It could be cleaning up glasses lying around or taking out the trash that is overflowing. Hosts always appreciate those who pitch in to help without having to be asked.

10. Don’t drink too much
While this seems like common sense, and it may seem cool at first but don’t be amongst the people who make fools of themselves by over drinking at parties. Make the decision in advance as to how many drinks you are going to have and then use your self-control to keep from having even one more.
