[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't show up early...those 10-15 minutes are important for the host/hostess to unwind from the duty of "house cleaner", "organizer" and "chef." If you show up early, the host/hostess will still be happy to see you but there's still an element of stress. My guests showed up 20 minutes early last night and I didn't have a chance to freshen up. Drive around the block, go pick up some wine somewhere...just don't knock on the door till the time matches the invitation! :) Common courtesy.[/quote] I had guests show up while I was still cooking. The wine and appetizers were out, table was set, and I was dressed. I don't wait until 6:30 to "freshen up" if guests are to arrive at 7. poor planning, folks Do you work? Do you ever spearhead projects? Where's your Plan B?[/quote] You are singlehandedly causing people to leave the DC area in droves.[/quote]
