Guests of Honor
Answer: If you picked answer B, congrats! For formal events, guests should arrive within fifteen minutes of the time listed on the invitation. For informal events, guests can arrive up to thirty minutes after the party officially begins.

Expert Tip:
Proper party etiquette dictates that you should never arrive early, unless the host has specifically asked you to do so. Otherwise, you could end up being a hindrance instead of a help.
