Ourling

Make a plan for houseguests arriving

Clarify the visit’s practical shape before the guests arrive, including space, duration and hosting work.

Try this

  1. Confirm who is staying, for how long, and which rooms or belongings they will use.
  2. Agree on food, transport and quiet-time responsibilities. Keep a private place available if either person wants time away from hosting.

A worked example

“Your friends arrive Friday and leave Sunday. I can cook Friday dinner, but I need Saturday morning to myself.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Do not treat one person’s invitation as unlimited consent from everyone sharing the home. If the visit changes, revisit the affected arrangements explicitly.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
