[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a person who likes to be early to everything, but never a dinner party.  When I plan a dinner party, I plan time before the meal is served to chat with friends over wine, like a cocktail hour.  That time is built into the invitation time.  Showing up early to me distracts me from getting things done that might need to be done last minute.   I have always thought this way, and my feeling has been confirmed because in my house, my husband is never ready when people are scheduled to arrive, so I am usually doing his bit and mine at the same time. And often entertaining his timely friends.

Don't arrive early.  Arrive on time or a few minutes after.  I have been known to put early people to work.[/quote]

My basic problem is that I disapprove of people doing things last minute. Sorry, that's my problem.[/quote]

Well, I'm not going to put out our appetizers any earlier than the very last minute...the cheese will get sweaty or the dog might possibly eat all the apps off the coffee table if they're just sitting out.  Plus that nice hot crab dip will get cold and gluey when I put it out in advance.  And I'm leaving the wine in the fridge until the last possible second, I like it cold.

Maybe you should just stay home.  You can invite US over next time![/quote]
