Simple Ways to Prepare for Houseguests

If you want to give your houseguests the memory of a perfect visit, there are a few things you can do to prepare for their visit. First, making them feel comfortable will give them an inviting welcome.

Here’s our simple list of items to get you started:

1. Clean and declutter your home: Make sure your home is clean and tidy before your guests arrive. Dust and vacuum your home, clean the bathrooms, and tidy up any clutter.

2. Stock up on essentials: Make sure you have enough supplies for your guests, such as towels, toilet paper, and toiletries. You may also want to provide snacks and drinks for your guests to enjoy.

3. Prepare the guest room: If you have a guest room, make sure it is clean and comfortable. Wash the sheets and pillowcases, fluff the pillows, and provide extra blankets and pillows in case your guests get cold.

4. Create a welcoming atmosphere: Add some special touches to make your guests feel welcome, such as fresh flowers, a welcome note, or a small gift.

5. Plan activities and meals: Make plans with your guests for activities and meals. You may want to plan a special dinner or outing, or provide a list of local attractions for your guests to explore.

6. Communicate with your guests: Make sure you communicate with your guests before they arrive to confirm their arrival time and any special requirements they may have. Also, let them know what to expect during their stay.

7. If you are planning on meal at home, you can plan out each meal with the care of their dietary needs. You may want to ask ahead of time about any allergies, breakfast needs like coffee or tea, etc.

A nice touch is to leave new toiletries in a basket for items your guests might have forgotten. Trays for your guests to keep their personal items in one spot is also a nice touch.
