Houseguest Welcome Kit

Both sets of parents arrive the week before Christmas, and someone is bound to stand in the guest shower wondering which way the handle turns, or let the dog out the front door. You'd rather write it all down once than explain it six times.

A 12-page fill-in kit for hosting adult guests, made for the couple who has both sets of parents coming for the holidays and a house that has its own habits: a shower with a trick to it, a dog with places he may and may not go, a coffee maker that needs explaining.

What is inside: a host set-up checklist; a framed guest room card in two sizes (5x7 and 4x6) with lines for the Wi-Fi, the towels, the shower, the coffee maker and the dog; three pages of house notes (the dog and the doors, the kitchen and shower, and the daily rhythm of the house); a page for who is coming and who sleeps where, with a set of travel lines for each of two sets of guests; a seven-day visit schedule; a dinners page with who cooks and who shops, plus a space for the big day, whatever the occasion; a page for your local favorites; and a checkout list with a short reset for the host.

How it is used: print it, fill it in once in pencil, and keep it. Every blank has a writing line at least 8 mm tall, so it works by hand on any home printer, US Letter or A4. Print the schedule, dinners and checkout pages again for each visit; the house notes mostly stay the same. The card pages print at actual size, trim on the corner marks to cut a card exactly 5x7 or 4x6 inches, and slide it into a standard picture frame.

The kit has no pre-written house rules. It asks the questions and leaves the answers to you.
