I agree with those who said to start without them. In our ladies' brunch group, hosted by a different friend every month, one friend arrived late. Very late. Always. And with a dramatic flurry of excuses and stories. Finally, after months of this, we started our brunches without her. She was surprised and a bit offended. We would just tell her to grab a plate and join us. She wasn't happy. After she arrived once after that just as the event was breaking up, we stopped inviting her, period.

If they are consistently late, I would do what you did. Go ahead and eat with the rest of your guests.

Being habitually late, while expecting others to wait for you, is the ultimate ego trip and a very bad habit. I wouldnt wait on them.

Not trying to be snide or anything........but maybe they just don't like your cooking. (I grew up in a very different household than any of my friends.....we ate "ethnic"......ya know, sauerkraut and all "that stuff").

maybe they just want to come for dessert and coffee. Do they want to eat a full meal when they come late?

I love sauerkraut wish my husband did. He is Italian. I will go anywhere so I don't have to cook & I don't complain. I just think these people are just plain rude. She did say no kids & live close by so no excuse. Maybe these people like to make a grand entrance some people love attention like that. Plus I would give you a good host gift too. Invite me next time. I would even help out & clean up.

We always start without them. That’s what microwave ovens are for. They can reheat their own food too.

My girlfriend has a HUGE family......so she just puts out a buffet. The guests can eat.....or not.
