Buy Enough Food
Add Clean Linens
Wash plenty of extra towels for your visitors. Set them near their bed or bathroom area.
Make It Cozy
Hang seasonal decorations like a fall or winter wreath outside or on the door. Pull out extra throw pillows and blankets and if you can, add small vases of fresh flowers around the house.
Make a Holiday Playlist
An easy way to create a memorable holiday is turning on favorite holiday tunes—music helps set the mood and makes everything feel more festive.
Prepare for Children
Prepare a space for young guests to play. Borrow popular DVDs or games from friends who have children of a similar age that will keep them occupied.
Display Extra Toiletries
It’s no fun when you forget your toothpaste or shampoo, and having to ask is sometimes awkward. Put extra travel-sized items near the sink for guests who may need them.

Deep Clean Your Kitchen
Scrub a dub-dub that sink, toilet and tub—nothing's worse than a gross bathroom, especially when it's not your grossness.
