proven tips to entertain unexpected guests the best way possible

Knock! Knock!

Yes, who?

Hello, we are your unexpected guests!

Oh no…! (…and panic starts)

It is good to have weekend guests to share some quality time and sprinkle some laughter feast in our life - well, only when the guests come after giving you some prior notice. But this doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes, guests come uninvited, and you only get to know about their arrival when your bell rings and you open the door in your comfy pj’s just to see that your family friend’s clan is standing outside with a beaming smile. Well, you can’t help but smile at such moments. But let’s admit that at that time our minds turn into a mess. Not only because you are welcoming them in your pj’s or due to the mess created in your living room, but also because how on earth you are going to entertain them with no plans in the loop?

Despite all your desires to get vanished, you can’t do anything but to entertain them somehow. So, it is better not to get panicked and hold on to your senses because come on, this isn’t rocket science. You can do it!
Here we have prepared some proven tips that really help to entertain your uninvited guests in the quickest possible way, without embarrassing yourself:

Look for Fast and Easy Recipes:

Cleaning your living room might be your first priority at that very instant, but don’t forget that you also have to feed your guests. Obviously, you don’t have time to cook time-taking things because you have to entertain your guests as well as you can’t farewell them with a simple glass of water. That’s the moment when your Pinterest board can help you the best in your life, or you can look upon the internet for easy recipes that can save your image and party from busting.

Go for Online Grocery Shopping:

The best thing is always to keep your pantry prepared for such emergency moments. Reserve some drinks, salsas, crackers, chips and other such stuff that can big-time save the game when nothing works. But if you want to go a few extra miles with your entertaining skills and your pantry is also not prepared, then online grocery shopping is what you need.

You can’t ask guests to sit in the living room all alone while saying: Wait, dude! Let me grab some drinks for you because we are out of grocery – right? So, instead of leaving your guests unattended, isn’t it better to get your ingredients without going anywhere else? There are online grocery stores like Mercato where you can buy grocery and bakery items to save your day. Go for them!

Plug-In the Music:

While you are busy in the kitchen trying to sort out things as fast as you can, plug-in the music. Mood setting music can set the mood of the scene for a perfect weekend gathering despite the unexpected encounter. It is better to go with the taste of the guests instead of plugging in your favourite playlist. Ask them whether they want a rock and roll scene or more serene mood with some jazz touches. The music will accompany your guests while you prepare snacks for them.
See, it isn’t that difficult to handle uninvited guests. You just need to stay calm, think straight and be smart and the rest the game will be in your hand!
