Whether you love parties or hate them, there's something to learn about having a good time at them in these videos.

You Will Need

  • Fitness boot camp
  • Business cards
  • Well-tailored outfit
  • A trip
  • Confidence
  • Friendliness
  • A slimming body wrap (optional)

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Go to fitness boot camp

    Sign up for a boot camp-style gym program that whips people into shape in a short amount of time. If you don't have one in your area, hire a personal trainer.

  2. Book yourself a slimming body wrap the day before the event. The results are temporary, but it can take double-digit inches off your figure.

  3. Step 2

    Order business cards

    Order business cards, even if you're out of work; you can always describe yourself as a "consultant." No one needs to know you have no clients.

  4. Step 3

    Be a spin doctor

    If there's some area of your life you're embarrassed about, think about how you can put a positive spin on it so you'll be prepared for questions.

  5. Step 4

    Wear a well-fitting outfit

    Wear a well-fitting outfit; have it tailored if needed. Don't underestimate the body-flattering capabilities of a custom fit.

  6. Ladies, get fitted for a new bra.

  7. Step 5

    Take a trip

    Take a trip beforehand so that when people ask what you've been up to, you can say something like, "Actually, I just got back from the Seychelles." Can't afford a trip? Study up on a place until even you believe that you've been there.

  8. Pick a remote place that your classmates are unlikely to have visited

  9. Step 6

    Hold your head high

    Enter the room with your head held high, and a smile on your face. Then head straight for – no, not the bar – someone standing alone. A confident attitude and friendly demeanor will impress your classmates more than anything else.

  10. A survey found that over 70 percent of adults who attended a high school reunion changed their look in some way beforehand.
