2. Make sure your door bell works and the entry is inviting. The first impression does mean a lot here.
3. Clean up and unclutter those common areas, where your guest will more than likely spend the majority of there time. This should include a good cleaning of the guest room and bathroom.

5. Kids are fun. If you don’t have children you should borrow some kid friendly movies and maybe some games or puzzles, so your underage guests are comfortable and will want to come back.

Lastly, relax. If you forget something or your guests need things, it is always fun to go shopping while guest are in town. It can be a good breather for you even if you love your guests to pieces.
