[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#1 is make everyone feel comfortable, even if it’s not how you prefer people to behave in your house.  I dont mean they can dance on tables, but… shoes are OK even if you are a shoe-less household.  Put paper hand towels in the bathroom, not everyone wants to use a previously used hand towel.  if you are letting people wander with food/drink, put coasters out but dont expect everyone will use them and dont be neurotic about it.  #2 is do your best to enjoy yourself - people will take their cues from you.  I do as much as I possibly can ahead of time, tag a friend or 2 to help keep an eye on things that could need refreshing (ice, drinks, crackers), and then try to mingle and enjoy my guests.

Strongly disagree. People who are not behaving in a way you’re comfortable with shouldn’t be returning. Shoeless households need to be respected as do a hosts presence to eliminate paper waste (the hand towel comment). Agree with first PP that the key is to communicate your expectations, it’s not to remove them altogether. [/quote]
