The Rudest Things You Can Do While Hosting Overnight Guests

LOADING ERROR LOADING Hosting guests at your home overnight is an incredibly generous deed that warrants gratitude and acknowledgement. “Do a sleepover in your own guest room so you know if the mattress is comfortable, the sheets need repair or should be replaced and the duvet needs to go to the cleaners,” said Diane Gottsman, the author of “Modern Etiquette for a Better Life” and founder of The Protocol School of Texas. Not Welcoming Your Guest Into Your Home “It is lovely to be able to greet guests at the door,” Smith said. Not Sharing Important House Information “For overnight guests, ensure they know where they can find the essentials, like the Wi-Fi password, phone chargers, extra towels and coffee for the morning,” said Nick Leighton, an etiquette expert and co-host of the “Were You Raised by Wolves?” podcast. “If there are certain religious practices, then definitely advise your guest of that prior to their arrival and I am sure they will respect it.” Failing To Communicate About Plans And Expectations For The Visit “Discuss everyone’s schedule in advance so people know what time everyone’s planning on getting up and what the plan is for the following day,” Leighton said.
