Let's Get The Party Started

[joggerjayne]

Question arising from a chat with a pal recently ...

You're invited to a party at 8.00pm

Do you turn up at 8 and get the party started?

Or do you turn up later, hoping that other people will have created some atmosphere, so you can just join in and take advantage?

[Psybbo]

Go later when the kids are in bed

[erin-x]

Half 8 would be the earliest I would arrive. I hate being the first there!

[Duncer]

I'd just be delighted to go to a party these days.

[sunny-dave]

Depends if there are likely to be decent nibbles ... or even indecent ones ;+)

[chi-chi66]

I think Erin and I would be arriving together!! Hate to be first, like to sneak
in quietly.

[sunny-dave]

It's tricky sneaking in when you're my size ...

[joggerjayne]

Isn't it easier to be there early, and not have to walk into a room of chattering groups?

[chi-chi66]

SD.....if your going as your yellow elephant...then yes I suppose it is! ;o)

[chi-chi66]

no JJ...I can wander unnoticed and then join a group..

[erin-x]

Me too... Noone notices after the party is in full swing anyway!

[lady-janine]

go later and slide in unnoticed with any luck.

[marval]

It depends who is giving the party.

[joggerjayne]

Good point, marval.

For a close pal, you're going to want to be there for a few "pre party liveners".

[Euphemia]

I turn up later and hopefully, like Lady Janine, unnoticed.

[marval]

Yes, for a close pal I would turn up early, for someone I didn't know as well maybe a bit later.

[DaisyNonna]

Can't even remember the last time I was asked to a party.

[tinkerbell23]

Depends whos party it is....830 usually xxx

[JonnyBoy12]

It depends if it was one of 'those sort of parties' then would want to get started right away. You can not have too much of an atmosphere in a party, can you?
