Unsurprisingly, when people come over, their first impressions will affect how they feel for the duration of their stay. Impeccable presentation of self, beautiful decorations and luxe amenities make for the best first impressions. Putting careful thought into your outfit is about much more than vanity; you want your outfit to express that you care about your guests’ attendance and have taken extra care of yourself for the special occasion. Beautiful home decorations are not only good conversation starters but also demonstrate that you, the host, have worldly taste. Lastly, luxe amenities make your guests comfortable in a foreign environment and show that you have addressed all concerns before they even arise.

How to be The Perfect Host
How to be The Perfect Host

By Sophia YiRui Liao

It is common for guests to be weary about intruding on your personal space so making them feel at home is as simple as setting aside specific spaces for them to relax and to place their possessions. Organize your belongings to clear out a space in your closet and on the vanity for guests to keep and easily relocate their possessions. I would also suggest gifting your guests with a small memento to remember the event by. Here, we’ve compiled all the things you need to throw the most lavish, swinging-from-the-chandelier type parties as well as to throw the most intimate of gatherings for your closest friends.
