I&#8217;m here with a plan to make things a little easier for you.  So, enjoy this preparing for guests checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are hosting guests for the holidays or perhaps have just given birth and are expecting some visitors, it helps to <strong>plan ahead to make your home more inviting to guests<\/strong>.  A few small thought out details can change your guests&#8217; whole experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best way to prepare for guests is to think about what <em>you<\/em> might want as a guest.<\/strong>  Remember the best hotel or <a href=\"https:\/\/vrbo.com\/affiliate\/ePckIMq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">VRBO<\/a> you stayed at and think about what little details they had.  They might have had snacks or coffee, or maybe they had some of the fluffiest towels.  Bring these amenities into your home for the ultimate guest experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<center> <div class=\"eg-affiliate-banners\" data-program=\"us-expedia\" data-network=\"pz\" data-layout=\"leaderboard\" data-image=\"nature\" data-message=\"hotel-treehouse-find-perfect-place-stay\" data-link=\"stays\" data-camref=\"1100lA8Av\" data-pubref=\"\"><\/div>\n<script class=\"eg-affiliate-banners-script\" src=\"https:\/\/affiliates.expediagroup.com\/products\/banners\/assets\/eg-affiliate-banners.js\"><\/script> <\/center>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tidy your entryway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When guests walk in, the first thing they will see is your entryway.  So, if you only have limited time to clean up your house, focus on keeping the entrance neat and inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to have a place where they can <strong>hang up their coat or take off their shoes<\/strong>.  Trust me, our home doesn&#8217;t have one of those gorgeous magazine style entryways.  But, I always try to make sure there is a nice entry mat and all of our kids&#8217; shoes have been put away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Prepac-Shoe-Cubbies-Wide-White\/dp\/B07TS9BD6L?crid=11RQLHZDIZV50&#038;keywords=entryway%2Bhall%2Btree&#038;qid=1699325733&#038;sprefix=entryway%2Bhall%2Btree%2Caps%2C96&#038;sr=8-9&#038;ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3&#038;th=1&#038;linkCode=li3&#038;tag=makeaplanblog-20&#038;linkId=6f4ffab4430e1831240f4a2312334de5&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"hall tree\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&#038;ASIN=B07TS9BD6L&#038;Format=_SL350_&#038;ID=AsinImage&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;WS=1&#038;tag=makeaplanblog-20&#038;language=en_US\" ><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=makeaplanblog-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;l=li3&#038;o=1&#038;a=B07TS9BD6L\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> <\/center>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean parts of your home that guests will see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After tidying the entryway, clean parts of your house that guests will spend a lot of time in.  <strong>Start with the guest bedroom and bathroom<\/strong> to make sure their home base is clean and ready for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, <strong>focus on common spaces<\/strong> like the living room and kitchen.  I&#8217;m one to end up cleaning the whole house, but I try not to worry about rooms that guests won&#8217;t really see.  <strong>Taking ten minutes to pick up and organize can go a long way without
