I have updated the entry to reflect more accurate information and have cited Eric Felton of the Wall Street Journal. I did not delete the claim to Alec Waugh having invented the cocktail party but simply modified it to prevent future confusion.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewsachs (talk • contribs) 16:25, 6 October 2007
Is this article about a cultural phenomenon that has largely died out in modern times? Was the heyday of cocktail parties in the 20th century? (perhaps 1920s to 1970s?) It seems to me that it has importance in a historical context, but that statements regarding norms and expectations be qualified by time and social environment, rather than presenented without commentary. For whom is an office suit "casual dress" these days? I propose this article is either integrated into another (such as party) or fleshed out into a more authoritative explanation.

Actually they’re fairly common, as incorporated into other events, as explained.
