You live in a small apartment and oftenare guests coming? We have some useful tips for this case too. Today's topic is dedicated to welcoming friends and relatives. It's great if you have enough room and enough cash to make their guest experience an unforgettable experience, but for many of us, reality is also on a tight budget. If this is about you too, read today's article and adapt the recommendations to suit your capabilities. Let's start with the purpose of visiting your home. There are people who know the city or are not interested in seeing it. They were attracted by some event: a conference, an exhibition, a wedding, or any other business that will take their free hours and free yours while they are visiting. Other visitors are interested in you, they came to visit, talk, go somewhere together. It's cute and touching, but will require an almost constant presence. Whether you get tired will depend on the guest's intentions and how optimally their time is organized. 
Be attentive to yourself
Be attentive to yourself, strive not onlyto please visitors, but also to share their joy, and then in the evening you will feel cheerfulness, and not empty. Of course, if you are going to be at the same time a driver, a guide, a cook and a maid for a visiting person, then the weekend will be very tense, but this is your decision, isn't it? 
Consider your individuality
Introverts need to be in shaperegularly spend a couple of hours alone. Schedule a weekend schedule, making it easier for you to do this. You can cook a few quick snacks and hide in the refrigerator - you just have to pick up the main dishes or have a snack in the cafe. 
Be sincere with the guest
If a certain circumstance has changed, sayin advance, otherwise unpleasant sediment can not be avoided. So, if there are not enough sofas for all visitors, warn in advance that someone will have to sleep on an inflatable mattress or in a sleeping bag, it is much more polite than to put before the fact. Pleasant episodes like a bouquet of flowers left in the room, fresh issues of the magazine on the bedside table or a box of chocolates will well demonstrate hospitality. 
Get ready for the visit ahead of time
Even with full load, there are simple tasks that are performed gradually, and not an hour before the event. It is unlikely that someone will be happy to see you falling from his feet from fatigue. 
Where to begin?
Summarize the experience gained by many owners, but do not hesitate to shuffle the sequence of tasks as you want and need in your particular case. 
2-3 days:
- Record and double check the important points: information about flights, transport, food preferences, visitors' allergies and other such trifles.
- Prepare a clean bed linen and towels, a place to sleep.
- Think about what you do after the meeting. Will people have the opportunity to rest, or will they have a stormy reception?
- Stock up on additional hygiene items. Toothbrushes, sponges and other accessories should immediately be in the bathroom so that the guest does not have to ask for them.
- Weed and dried plants in the yard.
- See if there is enough food. Running in a supermarket when people are impolite.
Per day:
- Vacuum and wipe off dust.
- Clean in the bathroom.
- Cut fresh fruits and vegetables, prepare drinks and snacks that can be stored.
- Set aside a few sets of clean clothes so that in the coming days do not take care of washing.
Last day affairs:
- Make sure the house is clean.
- Finalize the schedule.
- If required, confirm the table order.
Immediately before the meeting, tidy yourself and your family. 
No matter how loaded you are, remember yourself
If your soul is resting, reading a book or magazine before sleep, do not give up this habit. These little things are of great importance. 
Connect the imagination in difficult situations
If your dream is shallow and sensitive, and near noisy children, ordinary earplugs can save your mood and well-being. 
A hammock with a mosquito net, stretched on the veranda, or an alternate visit of someone from the family to relatives with an overnight stay can become a non-standard solution if there is a shortage of places in the warm season. 
We hope that today's post has brought you benefits, and some of our advice will go to your piggy bank, making life more convenient.
