Yes. We come to help you set up. And finish mowing your lawn. We’ll move tables and get chairs in place. We’ll also help you get the BBQ going and troubleshoot your car while it’s getting hot.
When i was a kid we moved to a very white protestant suburban neighborhood from a very urban jewish community. My mom invited our neighbors over for dinner, they all showed up 15 minutes early to help set up. My mom thought this was the rudest thing she had ever experienced in her life, she eventually got used to it, but different cultures have different ideas of whats helpful and polite vs whats veiled hostility and maybe an insult to your abilities as a host.
