What does it mean to "sing for your supper?" In the context of a party, it means to be the perfect party guest: to be witty, charming, and entertaining.
It also means not overstaying your welcome. Pay attention to the fact that the party is winding down, help straighten up a little, thank your hosts, then go home. If you want to be invited back, you should consider the fact that the reason you were invited in the first place was not just to eat and drink, but for your pleasant company.
Don't be the guest that gets a bad rap for staying too late. If all the other guests have left, you really should leave too.
