USE SOME HUMOR – if you can’t handle the thought of multiple guests tracking icky street muck through your apartment from one end to the other (despite you hardwood floors – I’m speaking to you city folks here, who KNOWS what you stepped in on the way to my house). Last winter I had a party during a blizzard which all of my guests walked through to get to my apartment. So, I politely posted a “SOCK PARTY. ” sign on my door. Although a few people grumbled at first, most of the guests didn’t seem to mind, and I just gave the others some extra alcohol. In fact, it was so easy that I considered posting a ‘sock party warning’ on the invite to a party I recently hosted. It seemed only fair to let guests plan their socks (or lack of) into their outfits. – Hbomber

If someone is throwing a party at their home in the dead of winter, then they should put on the invitation, “arrive in boots, change in your swank shoes at the door”. That’s fair. That’s what shoe bags are for. If people forget, ask them to wipe the bottom of their shoes when they arrive. Have some of those white wash clothes rolled up on a silver platter near the door – scented or something – it would be cute. A small sign asking them to “please wipe your bottom” and underneath put: “shoes, that is”. A small silver trash can beneath. You can buy cheap white wash clothes anywhere. Get the thin el=cheapo kind. Toss them after the party or wash/bleach/save for next party. – Holly

But saying yes to every single social invitation can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed and to burnout. We let our FOMO (fear of missing out) create a sense of obligation that can negatively impact mental health. The solution? Embracing JOMO or the “joy of missing out.”

“JOMO allows you to redefine what actually brings joy into your life, instead of allowing other people, events or society dictate it for you,” Michelle Wax, founder of American Happiness Project, told HuffPost.

“Nudge yourself into avoiding having to scroll, check, click and like all the time,” said Svend Brinkmann, a psychologist and author of “The Joy of Missing Out: The Art of Self-Restraint in an Age of Excess.” here
