My family did a roaming meal once where we went to one place for drinks/appetizers, another for dinner and a last for dessert (all within walking distance of each other) and it was a blast. We drew names to see who got to pick the restaurant for each course.

Games: Settlers of Catan, Castles, Ticket to Ride, Rook, Scattegories, Quiddler, Phase 10

Make home made pizzas and movie night
Cocoa and decorating cookies
Wine and cheese tasting (each buy a bottle and put in brown bags and rate each one)
Beer tasting flights and nachos (each buy 2 beers to share)


Yikes. Are you trying to scare her off?


Too many group and indoor activities for first visit.

Why such an expensive gift?


May be because everyone has different levels of income and generosity.

Her airline ticket was very expensive because due to our time conflict, she had to wait to book one. We offered to pay for it but she didn’t feel comfortable so we tried to make up for it as she is a student.

Just be nice and polite and welcoming. Maybe plan one Covid safe outing. Make sure there is plenty of food in the house. Otherwise, just mostly let them spend time together

If their a couple, don’t try and impose your ideas for where they sleep. You can just tell them where extra pillows are and let them work it out.

If they share a bed at school or where the live now,
Do not ask them to sleep separately.

It was such a relief to come home from college and if a gf was with me there was no discussion. If my gf wanted to share my room we did. Being treated as an adult in a relationship was always the right way.

And please close your door to your room at night.


Nope. bf and Gf all got the guest room. No awkwardness or disrespect.
