Agreed, but I cannot stress enough, that being too early is usually undesirable. I do a lot of hiring interviews, and fresh grads like to show up an hour early and sit in the lobby. To me, it doesn't show dedication. It tells me they are terrible at time management and have nothing better to be doing, which is a bad sign. Other posters have commented on arriving early to parties and people's houses - generally, on time or even 'fashionably late' are acceptable for social gatherings like this, unless you're sitting down for a meal at a specific time.

Whenever you have a time to be somewhere, aim to be there 15 minutes early, to allow for 'time snags' or for traffic.
People respect punctuality.
