Have Guests Staying at Your House? Here Are Some Things to Remember

Do you have guests in town for a wedding, work event, or vacation? Are you offering them a room to stay in? If so, that is incredibly generous! They’ll save money, and you’ll spend quality time together. Before they arrive, check out this helpful “to-do” list to ensure their stay is comfortable and enjoyable.

Stock the Bedside Tables

Stock the nightstands with bottled water, tissues, light reading material, the Wi-Fi code, and more. You can even brighten up the spot by adding fresh flowers or greenery to the mix. Chocolate truffles or mints are also a nice touch!

Provide Bathroom Essentials

When you stay in a hotel, you expect bathroom necessities to be provided. Well, the same should be true for house guests. You don’t have to purchase expensive shampoo and conditioner, but you should stock up on affordable toiletries like drugstore shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, etc., for guests to use during their stay. Other items that will be appreciated include disposable razors and shaving cream, etc.

Give Guests a Way to Control Their Climate

Having heating zones or central air in every room is not crucial, but it’s a nice gesture to show you care about your guests’ immediate environment. If it’s warm, set up a plug-in fan in their room if they get toasty. Or, if it gets cold at night, provide them with extra blankets. This way, they can adjust the temperature to their liking, making their stay more enjoyable.

Be Accommodating and Have a Flexible Schedule

Remember, the people staying in your house are your friends or loved ones, meaning they will want to spend time with you. But they’ll likely want to have their space, too. For example, tell them what’s for dinner and invite them to join, but don’t pressure them to eat with you. Suggest that if your guests can’t make the meal, there will be leftovers in the fridge. And if they prefer to go out to eat or have some space away from your home, give them the freedom to do so without a guilt trip.

Open Up Your Kitchen

The greatest perk about staying with a loved one is a fully stocked refrigerator. Let guests know that anything in the fridge and pantry is up for grabs! That means you should stock up on fruits and veggies, snacks like chips and cookies, and various drinks. Be sure to label areas of the kitchen or give your guests a tour when they arrive. That way, they don’t have to wake you up in the morning to find the coffee mugs or ask you late at night where the Ibuprofen is.
