Whether invited to visit your favorite relative, staying a weekend with friends or grabbing a place to stay during a stormy night, your behavior, attitude and etiquette can make or break you next invitation. The following are tips to maintain the mass of invitations in your mailbox.
First, if an invitation for a visit is extended, R.S.V.P. promptly with an answer. An acceptance or decline will be appreciated. Don’t leave hosts hanging; they need to make plans, or open their house to others and it all depends on you.
Create an itinerary and share it with your host. Show up and leave exactly when you say you will.

Let your hosts know about other plans such as meetings, luncheons or golf dates with friends in the area. Try not to deviate from these plans as your hosts are making plans around you. Should circumstances change your plans, share the new information with your hosts and, if problems arise with scheduling differences, ask if the plans can be combined. Perhaps your hosts can join you and your friends to complete a golf foursome or maybe they too, would like an afternoon away from the house.
If pet allergies are a problem for you, ask your hosts before you arrive if they have pets. If they do, spare everyone your wheezing and sneezing and make other arrangements. With an explanation, your hosts will understand. Never assume that your own pets are invited, no matter how small. If you can’t part with them ask your hosts if pets are welcome or if there is a good pet hotel they can stay at and you can visit. Otherwise, make arrangements elsewhere or have others look after your pets.
Always present a host gift. Whether you bring one with you or purchase something along the way or during your stay, it will be appreciated. A gift that gives such as a new board game, a tote bag full of the latest magazines or a quick outdoor game like croquet or badminton will add lasting fun and provide an activity – one less thing for your hosts to plan.
Respect the hosts’ hours, routines and material goods. Though most hosts will allow their guests freedom with timing, try to keep a schedule that is similar to your hosts. Early risers may not demand you get up too, but don’t expect a hot breakfast ready and waiting when you face the day. Contrary, try not to schedule loud music and movies if your hosts go to bed early. With a little planning both guests and hosts can get all their favorite activities in without annoying each other. In addition, always ask before utilizing a host’s phone, television, electronic equipment or computer. Though the answer may always be “yes,” it’s nice to know that guests are conscience and respectful of other people’s things.
The best etiquette to have regarding meals is simply to make do. Not withstanding allergies or restricted diets, if a meal is made for you, try to get through it. Even if you only like one portion, fill up on that portion and enjoy. Offer your cooking services or the opportunity to pick up something for the next meal if you feel that mealtime may be an on-going issue.
A proper dress code should be adhered to unless this is a family gathering and everyone is used to your fuzzy bunny slippers. A simple t-shirt, jeans, clean face and hair (even if it’s wet) are best for meals, entertainment or get-togethers.
Don’t deplete your hosts’ best stash of cigars or brandy. Follow the house rules about smoking and drinking and purchase your own if needed. If a celebration is in order, offer to purchase the bar supplies so you can contribute, get that host gift out of the way, and have your favorites too.
The host gift does not preclude a thank you note. A gracious, handwritten, not e-mailed note should be left or sent immediately following your visit. Mention something specific; the view, the chocolates you just loved, the comfortable room or towels and the hosts’ flexibility along with the words “thank you.”
Chances are after following these tips, with minor adjustments as you see fit, your mailbox will be full with invitations.
