A FABULOUS Hostess with the Mostess

Treat Your Guest as if they arrived at the Hilton!

If you have the luxury of having a guest bedroom and/or bath, create an environment for your guest that is inviting and fabulous.

We have a guest bedroom and bath in our home ... we add personal touches to our guest bedroom and bath. For example, I will put pictures of our guest (family pictures, pictures of outings with our guest, their kids... etc...) in beautiful picture frames and hang them on the wall or place them on a nightstand next to the bed.

I always always lay out fresh folded towels, hand towels and face cloths.  In addition, to the towels.. I have placed chocolates or mints on the pillows.

It is really sweet to place baskets with bottles of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and lotion.  Anyone can snag travel size containers at your local Walmart or grab a few extra soaps, shampoos, and conditioners at your next hotel stay.

In your guest bedroom closet... hang extra hangers for your guest's pressed shirts, coats, jackets... etc.
Even add a suitcase/luggage holder.

If your guest has smaller children... make it fun!  Pull out an old crib mattress, dress it up and add a few character pillows and some fun books to get them settled in.  To ease the childs fears of sleeping in a strange place... provide him/her with a little flashlight.  They will feel more in control and will help with transitioning into the evening... so you and the adult guests can have some fun, libations and catching up on adult conversations.

Be Fabulous ... BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY TREAT YOUR GUEST FABULOUSLY!
