The holiday season is a time for family and friends to come together, so if you're expecting houseguests here are some tips for a smooth stay.


Prepare

Ensure your guests feel comfortable by preparing ahead of time. Make sure you have enough beds, blankets, and towels for everyone.

Communicate

Ensure your houseguests have a pleasant stay from the get-go by clearly communicating any expectations you may have before their arrival. From quiet times to length of stays, outlining these details upfront can help ensure there are no misunderstandings or conflicts down the line!


Having houseguests over the holidays can be a lot of fun, but it's important to be prepared. By following these tips, you can make sure that your guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
