Preparing for house guests involves more than providing a comfy place for them to sleep, it’s an opportunity to make those house guests feel welcome and guarantee their time spent with you is memorable. Why have house guests if it is not a positive and memorable experience?

Each of the four seasons brings with it a different reason for out-of-town guests to come knocking on your door. Preparing for house guests can be much easier on you IF you organize and prepare well in advance. Listen to my online radio show, show 016 House Guests- Preparing For, to learn:

  1. common hosting concerns when preparing for house guests
  2. the purpose of hosting and preparing for house guests
  3. easy preparations for guest’s arrival and stay

Listed here are are a few tips to help you entertain your guests with warmth and hospitality. Some of my suggestions include:

  • Allow your guests some privacy and reserve some much needed privacy for yourself
  • Plan for only one meal together per day
  • Plan one “spend time together” activity per day
  • Have a list of “local fun activities” to entertain your guests
  • Add a few extra “bed and breakfast” touches…Maybe a favorite novel or a few magazines wrapped in a ribbon and laying on their bed, or a little bowl of mints on their night stand
After listening to my show, YOU may even feel regret when your house guests wave goodbye. With a little planning for house guests and preparatory work YOU can become the perfect host. Keep things simple. Your guests will remember how they felt in your company much longer than they will remember what they did while with you. Take time to enjoy the relationship. Plan now to enjoy your moments together by preparing for house guests early and easily.
