Everything about Cocktail Party totally explained

Cocktail party is a party where cocktails are served. Women may choose to wear what has become known as a cocktail dress.
   Although many believe the inventor of the cocktail party to be Alec Waugh of London, who in 1924 found a need for this pleasant interlude before a dinner party, an article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press that ran in May 1917 credits Mrs. Julius S. Walsh Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri. Mrs. Walsh invited 50 guests to her house on a Sunday at high noon for a one hour affair. "The party scored an instant hit," the St. Paul Pioneer Press declared. And within a matter of weeks, cocktail parties became "a St. Louis institution".
   Alec Waugh noted that the first cocktail party in England was hosted by war artist Christopher Nevinson in 1924.
