Company's Coming
Part Three - The Details |
|
I always get excited when friends or family accept an invitation
to send the weekend with me. I look forward to their company and
know they'll relax and enjoy the city and my home. There's a simple
trick to weekend entertaining: exceed your guests' every expectation!
After all, wouldn't you expect the same of them?
In the third part of our Company's Coming series we learn how the
details will have your guests talking about their weekend with you
long after it's over.
The Side Table
A beaker of water and a couple of glasses are always welcome. How
about a silver plate with chocolate mints or a plate of freshly
baked cookies?
Reading Material
Just because you have people in for the weekend does not mean you
have to spend every waking moment together. Place some magazines
that reflect your guests interests. Antique books also seem to be
a favourite. They cost pennies. And many have found their way into
suitcases only to return a few weeks later with a thank you note
attached.
One Step Further
Candles offer a romantic touch. How about a selection in different
scents? And of course you can't forget flowers. Just a few in a
simple vase go a long way in creating atmosphere.
Yet Another Step Further
A disposable camera. I'm always after my friends to take lots of
photos as reminder of the times we've spent together. Who knows,
your guests may even take a snap of their perfect bedroom environment!
