Summer is prime time for gatherings. It’s also a great time of the year to meet new people. That’s where HOPPR by Absolut comes in. The mobile web-app lets you attend nearby house parties or invite folks over to yours. Remember: Be a party HOPPR not a party crasher. Just follow these rules:

1. Dress the Part - Heading to a themed HOPPR party? Make sure you’ve got on the right gear. Vodka is a social drink and you’re a social creature. Put on your best band shirt and bandana and rock your heart out at that upcoming ‘70s-themed shindig.
   
2. Bring Something - This is the most important rule that makes you a HOPPR and not a crasher. Bring a bottle of Absolut to easily mix into a big-batch cocktail: think a fresh peach juice punch or Moscow Mule (grab some ginger beer and lime and you’re set).
   
3. Be Honest - Tell folks about how you used HOPPR to find the best party in town! Ask them how they know the host and maybe make some small talk about summer getaways or the best vodka brunch drink (Bloody Marys, anyone?).
   
4. Talk to Everyone - Because you’re new to the party, you must make your rounds and represent your HOPPR pride. Think of some mnemonics to remember everyone’s name. It’s an easy way to show people you care and are having a good time.
   
5. Make a Toast - Grab a glass of that Absolut cocktail before it runs dry and thank your host for having you over. Cheers your new company and prepare to host the next HOPPR bash.
