Hey friend!
As we continue this mini series: Get your home holiday ready, it's important that we don't forget to get ready to take care of the people we're inviting into our space. Hosting is a natural gifting - those who do it well, WOW do they do it well. For others, it's a learned skill. But like decorating, hosting can be taught.
Preparing your space adequately for guests and their comfort is important in both the BIG ways as well as the small details.
In today's episode I'm sharing 4 tips to host well and with one of the tips, I admittedly get very vulnerable as I share a bit of personal experience. In a nutshell, the four things that will help you be a better hostess are:
1. Think of your own comfort! This sounds counter intuitive when we're learning tips about hosting others, but before we can do that I want you be mindful of experiences YOU have had where you were the recipient of great hosting and experiences when the hosting rather sucked. Write those down - the details of what made those experiences stand out for you. You'll use those details to help prepare for the guests in your home.
2. Think of guests needs beforehand! Thinking big picture about any accommodations they might need to make their stay a bit more comfortable before they arrive will help your time together go smoothly.
3. Pay attention to the SMALL details! Things like extra blankets, a fan, lighting to the bathroom in the middle of the night, cozy socks, even Kleenex and access to extra toiletries will help you guest feel like you've though of every last detail.
4. Be observant in the moment! Catching little things like an empty coffee cup or a glance around the room wondering where to place a bag - these observations and acting upon them will give you a gold star as a hostess.
