social butterflies

Gregarious event attenders

Social butterflies is the plural of social butterfly—a person who moves easily through social situations, flitting from conversation to conversation like a butterfly among flowers.

The term suggests someone gregarious and charming but perhaps superficial, more interested in circulating than in deep connection: The social butterflies worked the room while the rest of us huddled by the bar.
