I'm going to help you ensure you look your very best regardless of not being familiar with tying a bow tie.

Well the answer to that lies in those things on your feet, no not your socks, your shoes! When you were young you always had to have a look at your laces as you tied them and perhaps you required your mom around even more than I did as you learned. But after a bit it became 2nd nature and now I'll bet you don't even look. So how does one gain a visible vantage point from which to tie that bow tie of yours? I've a mirror in my lavatory, and I'll bet you have one in yours!
Now, stand to the front of the mirror with your collar up and bring the tie around your neck with each end draped down similarly. Make sure there aren't any folds in the tie before you proceed. Now, take the tie draped down on your left-hand side and pull it down with your left hand an in. and a half, then pull the left-hand side over the right, and then push the left side under the right ( as you would when you start tying your shoe laces ) and then pull the tie tight.
At this point the bow tie should be longer on one side than the other, and there should be the beginning of a knot like that you would see when you start tying your shoes.

You have successfully made it halfway thru learning the way to tie a bow tie! Now things are going to become a bit tricky so have patience and proceed slowly.
After this form the front loop of the bow by doubling up the shorter end and ensure your collar points overlap. Hold the loop with your left hand and drop the long end down in front, now place your right pointing finger on the bottom 1/2 the hanging section of the tie. By now the shorter end of the tie should be horizontal and the longer end should be hanging in front of it.
Pass the behind loop up behind the front loop and push the ensuing loop through the knot behind the front loop. Even the tie out and tighten to your specs. You have just learned the proper way to tie a bow tie completely and can now carry on to impressing your friends and family, confident that you look your finest!
