Why time do you want them to turn up then? Better than being late I say...

supadupapupascupa · 16/11/2012 17:18

haha! don't tell me that's because you are late?

HellothisisJoanie · 16/11/2012 17:19

That has to be the most random op ever ....

Lougle · 16/11/2012 17:20

If your invite says 7 pm, but you actually want to have people arrive at 7.15 pm, put 7.15 pm on the invite...

BellaVita · 16/11/2012 17:21

Fgs woman... There is no please in some people.

TequilaMockingMagpie · 16/11/2012 17:21

So why not put a later time on invite ?

You did not send a friend round the block ! I refuse to believe someone would do that , weird .

BellaVita · 16/11/2012 17:21

Usual me too! Grin

MousyMouse · 16/11/2012 17:21

I'm usually early, so am the one to wipe the kitchen surfaces while the host freshes him/herself up.

RudolphUcker · 16/11/2012 17:21

Always half an hour late for parties, innit?

Even I know that, and I am stupidly punctual.

BackforGood · 16/11/2012 17:22

Why? If you don't want people to come at that time, invite them for a later time Confused
I always think it's rather sad to have invited people to a party and then so many of them don't come when you ask them too, not because they are elsewhere but because they somehow think it's 'cool' to be late.
Indeed, it's rude, in my book.

I hope she didn't come back , I would have buggered off to the pub .

Half hour late is fine too , but on time is on time , and that is ok .

DioneTheDiabolist · 16/11/2012 17:24

Huh?Confused

I don't understand. The time on the invitation is the time you want the guests to arrive. Why would you put the wrong time on your invites OP?

HellothisisJoanie · 16/11/2012 17:24

its not cool to be there clutching your Gallo at the door. smacks fo desperation. i would nEVER be there bang on - ew no very lower middle

I'm obviously very lower middle class then. Grin although I wouldn't have a bottle of Gallo with me

TequilaMockingMagpie · 16/11/2012 17:27

However bringing gallo is only ok if she is going to drink it .

HellothisisJoanie · 16/11/2012 17:27

from her navel Teq

Chubfuddler · 16/11/2012 17:28

She's got quite a twinkle in her eye. I reckon they're having more fun than sad sacks who are deliberately late because they're scared of looking punctual or whatever the problem is.
