It’s that time of year when we welcome friends and family from near and far for all kinds of gatherings! It’s such a fun and exciting season of football, festivals, Thanksgiving, Christmas and more. When company comes calling, there are a few extra touches that make your guests feel welcome.
These are a few of my favorites:
1. Make a comfortable bed.
Guest bedrooms can sit for a period of time before being used. Make sure you wash your sheets before guests arrive so they smell fresh. Add a few pillows for an extra cozy feel. Keep extra blankets readily available in case someone gets cold. Even if you have a blow up mattress, make it up nicely like a regular bed. It can also be backed against a couch so there is a place for your guest to sit up in bed.
2. Use a bedside table.
A table is a nice touch so guests have a place on which to set their things. Place a lamp for reading with some magazines and books nearby. An alarm clock and a small frame with the WIFI password are also helpful.
3. Create a spa like bathroom.
Place fresh towels out so that they can be easily found and have a nice soap and lotion on the counter. Little touches like these make your guest feel extra special!
4. Make a list of your favorite local places.
Out of town guest love to know what is fun to do locally. Keep your list with a map.
