Some tips for welcoming your guests

Don’t spend the whole evening in the kitchen.

If you have some light cooking when guests arrive, encourage them to join you in the kitchen. Everyone loves to hang out in the kitchen while preparing dishes. It is equally important to clean the house before their arrival.
