 hosting a party when you're ready to leave can save you almost 19 hours per year. Some people even spend double that making their rounds instead of just leaving. You might think you should at least say goodbye to the host, but they're actually the most important ones to ghost. They're busy with host duties and saying bye to each person would just take time away from enjoying the event. Just send them a nice text saying thanks and let you have a great time. While dipping out can benefit you and probably won't even be noticed by others, it can still be considered rude if it's done wrong. Make sure your bar tab is settled so you don't leave anyone thinking you're an asshole. And obviously don't pull this move if it's just you and like three other people.
