  • $1 Store cups with your guests’ names on them.
  • $1 Store mints or chocolate and a note on the bed to welcome your guest.
  • Ask your guests what they don’t like.
  • Offer to bring food when you come to visit.
  • Team-approach to get ready for guests.
  • Bring a thank you note with you when you stay at someone’s home.
  • Make eye contact with your guests and hosts.
  • A note giving guests permission to ask if they need anything.
  • Don’t get lost in the details, be a good listener.
  • Have a welcoming heart because people will remember how you made them feel more than what came out of the oven.

Hospitality is a matter of the heart quote by Katie M. Reid for At the Picket Fence blog
