Socializing OTP vs. ITP

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The first time we were invited to a party in one of metro Atlanta’s suburbs, we started getting panicked calls on our cell phones shortly before we arrived.

“Are you ok?” our worried friends asked. Apparently showing up 45 minutes after a party’s official start time was cause for alarm.

It’s the opposite story in town, of course. If the party officially starts at 7 p.m. and you show up before about 8:15 p.m., you’ll have the bar to yourself and maybe two or three other guests to chat with.

Have you noticed this OTP-ITP difference in party arrival time? What time do you show up to a party? Do you prefer guests show up right on time or fashionably late?
