1.) Find out more about the party. Is it casual or more formal? Sometimes knowing more will help with planning for the event. 2.) Find out if you are allowed to bring a friend from outside of the office. Having an ally may help with your social anxiety. If you are unable to bring a friend, establish a plan with a friend from outside the office, who will call or text you with an emergency. This way you have an excuse to leave the party early. 3.) This party is likely not a work requirement, so you technically shouldn't have to go. However, it may be smart to attend the party, even if just for a short while. This will make you seem like you are trying to be a part of the workplace team, which can be important in some offices.
