Honestly, my husband and I cannot stand having house guests. What we can’t stand more than anything are family members who think our house is their house. We’re at the point now that we constantly say “no” because it’s such an imposition. Will someone please tell me what the appeal is?

I just stumbled upon (StumbleUpon, that is) this post tonight and it couldn’t be more timely! I wrote my own post last week about preparing for houseguests and it’s really interesting to read your tips. I especially love #9 and #10, as they are aspects of hosting guests that are really important, but I didn’t think of them until now. I focused more on going through a ‘checklist’ to make sure you meet all your guests’ needs, but I see how it’s important to meet your own needs too! Great post.

Great list, and excellent suggestions. I wish I could host guest more often!

One of my favorite tips is to put together a small “how-to” manual for your electronics. Especially if the room they will be staying in has, say, a TV- cabel box- Tivo- etc. It can be a bit overwhelming if your guets are standing there with three remotes and they just want to watch a little TV before bed.

Maybe get a little flip book with the how -to’s. Even photo copy your manual covers which usually have a pic of the remote.

I visit your site often, but I’m not sure if I have ever commented. Love this post. We have a steady stream of guests who stay in the not-so-nice basement. Just yesterday a guest (my mom, but still) wanted tea… and we are all coffee around here.

I’m adding you to my blog list.

We live in a small apartment and when we are having guests our son needs to give his bedroom and sleep on the floor in the dining-room. Ours two girls share a bedroom. We also only have one bathroom. It is not easy, and sometimes I fell that it is far from the way I want to recieve my family or friends. … At least, they eat very good french food!
