New Year’s Eve

My friend is going to a new year's eve party organized by her friend Kate. This year none of my friends are organizing the new years eve.I really don't want to spend it alone. Will it be okay if I ask my friend to ask Kate if I could join the party?

Can you organize a party?

Why not? Also look for more options, it's a ways off. Why not get on dating apps and start meeting guys, perhaps you'll have a date by then.

Yes, why not. It doesn't hurt to ask. NYE parties are usually the more the merrier type deal.

Just ask, the worst that can happen is they say no.

Absolutely... I always did this sort of thing for New Years etc. asked to be invited to parties or what have you... or one or two of my single friends and I would organize an outing for that evening.

Ask your friend if Kate is letting her bring guests. I would not invite myself to someone's house party but if Kate is open to the invitees bringing guests that is a thoughtful way to put it.

Is there a reason why you're hesitating?

I would wait until it got closer. you might be invited to something after all.

I would also not ask your friend to be her plus one.

I would say "sounds like a great party. I don't think any of my friends are throwing one this year". just put it out there. She can bite or not.

you don't know if its a bash or a quiet dinner party. I would never dream of inviting myself to someone else's party, even asking overtly if i can go as someone's guest

Why don' t you organize something?

I think "organize something" is a bit easier said done, especially if she's evidently already got friends booked elsewhere.

We hosted parties regularly. Nothing wild, but pretty much without fail a friend of my wife would ask if they could bring a friend. It was never anything other than a reflexive "of course." As long as you're not routinely riding the back of friends' social coat tails, there's nothing awkward about dropping a simple question. Be ready for the off chance the host wants to stick to a certain roster or your friend doesn't want to mix social circles, but yes or no, it's not a big deal.

There are always New Year's Eve events going on at restaurants and hotel event rooms with bands and dancing if you live in or near a big city. You could ask a girlfriend to go to one of those with you.

It's a little tacky. If it's just a house party, it will probably be OK to ask. Worst she can do is say no. If it's something with invitations & caterers etc. don't ask. Usually party hosts are accommodating to extra guests.

Yes, it would be ok to ask to be invited. Also, if you truly and really want to show sincere appreciation and gratitude, volunteer to help such as arriving a little early to help with set up, decorations or bring an appetizer or a yummy dish of some sort.
