Once you’ve received an invite, it’s always polite to respond and let the organiser know that you’ll be attending and if you'll be bringing any guests. Nothing is more awkward than standing at the door and insisting your name is on the list. That said, it’s not nice to RSVP and tell them you’ll be bringing 10 other friends.
It's also not nice—and not a good look—to be a party crasher. If you weren't invited to a clearly invite-only event, don't act surprised when you get turned away at the door.
Don't fret, though. If all else fails, follow @hongkongtatler and @theartling in Instagram for regular photo and video updates from inside Hong Kong Art Week's most exciting and exclusive parties—including our own.
