When you have friends or relatives coming to stay over at your home, you should go
the extra mile to make their stay as comfortable as possible. You should make sure your
guest room have certain basic essentials such as fresh sheets and blankets on the beds,
curtains on the windows, working lights, a fan, a clock, a wastebasket, an extra blanket
and a cleared shelf or drawer.
A few days before your guests arrive, ask them their food preferences and
allergies. This will give you time to prepare what food to cook or buy for them.
However, do not go and buy unusual ingredients that you would not normally buy. You
should also let your guests know ahead what activities you have planned so that they
can pack appropriately. You should also ask them if there is anything they would like to
do or see while they are in town.
If your guests are driving, try to save a good parking spot for them. Dont make
your guests waste their time looking for a parking spot. When your guests first arrive,
offer snacks and a beverage to them. Then show them to the guest room. You should
help carry their bags and also point out where everything in the guest room is.
You can also make your guests feel like a part of the household. They can help
to wash and chop the vegetables. However, do not ask them to take out the trash or
scrub greasy pans. Finally, be nice to your guests and do not argue with your family
members in front of your guests. It will make them feel awkward. Just follow these
simple tips and without a doubt, your guests will enjoy their stay.
