| Usually when people show up early, I say "I'm glad you're here. Here, set the table" and I hand them the dishes! Most of the tiime people are understanding and most offer to help anyway. |

| It depends on how early. Are we talking just about 15 minutes? Or so early that maybe the host/hostess hasn't even had time to get dressed? I think if the person who invited you has to say something like, "Take a seat, I'll be down as soon as I get dressed." then they have to run aroundm hurrying to get finished, then it was way too early. |

| It is rude to show up early. One should show up 5 to 7 minutes late. When guests arrive early, politely ignore them: "You of course won't mind while I finish with preparing for dinner." Go about your necessary business while the guests sit, waiting. Guests should never be pressed into service, before or after dinner. |

| I think it is rude, if it annoys the host(s). Some people really don't want to be caught in the middle of the preparations for a dinner, so stay away! But some people will be surprised at happy to see the visitors earlier. Konklusion: Depends on who invites.... |
