[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The food is always better, especially if it was homemade by someone's aunt/grandma.  Here's a tip though:  most people arrive very late so the party actually begins an hour or two later and lasts a long time![/quote]

Ugh, yes! I did not understand this before I married my DH and would show up on time. That made for some loooong afternoons. [/quote]

Our neighbors are Hispanic and it took me a few times to get this right. I once showed up to a baby shower on time. I had to leave well before they opened the gifts or cut the cake...I'd been there 5 hours since the invitation said it started at 3.[/quote]

I'm African and we have a similar habit among people from my country. When my friend was getting married, the Americans got a different invitation. The wedding was to start at 1pm,  everyone who was non-African got an nivite stating 1pm and the rest of us got one for 11.30. The sad thing is that some Africans came waltzing in at 1p and I had a good laugh.  The problem is when you get there early and wait for the late comers, it will still be frowned upon if you leave "early". Nobody will care that you showed up on time.[/quote]
