#CreativeWaysToGetRidOfGuests #HostessWithTheMostest #GuestEtiquette
Are you looking for a playful yet effective way to gracefully bid adieu to your guests after a fabulous gathering? 🎉 Look no further! Here are some creative strategies to subtly hint that the party’s over while maintaining your gracious hostess reputation. 😉
1. Implement a “Last Dance” Tradition:
🕺💃 Encourage a final dance or karaoke session as a signal that the festivities are winding down. Play a sentimental song or upbeat tune to set the tone for departure. Your guests will appreciate the chance to end the evening on a high note! 🎶
2. Offer Late-Night Snacks to-Go:
🍪🥤 Prepare cute to-go bags or boxes filled with midnight snacks for your departing guests. This thoughtful gesture not only provides them with a tasty treat for the road but also signifies that the evening is coming to a close.
3. Create a “Last Call” Cocktails Station:
🍸🕒 Set up a designated area where guests can mix and pour their final beverages before heading home. Display a sign announcing “Last Call” to subtly indicate that the event is wrapping up. Cheers to a successful soirée! 🥂
4. Express Gratitude and Appreciation:
🙏📝 Take a moment to personally thank each guest for attending and contributing to the event. Express your heartfelt appreciation for their presence and participation in making the gathering a memorable experience. A genuine display of gratitude will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Utilizing these creative techniques will not only help you gracefully bid farewell to your guests but also ensure that they leave with fond memories of your hospitality. Remember, the key is to balance warmth and politeness in signaling the end of the evening. Cheers to being a hostess with the mostest! 🥳 #GoodbyeGuests #HostessTips
“Your continued stay in my proximity could cause unforeseen, spontaneus negative consequences, therefore it would be of mutual benefit to retreat back to the place you came from. Goodbye.”
Start cleaning up
You don’t have to be creative in my country.
In Denmark we just say, “nå” and put our hands on our legs before getting up. The rest of the company will follow.
You can do it as a guest, who’s about to leave, but you can also do it as a host, who wants the guests to leave.
I think most Germanic speaking countries have something similar.
Politely ask if they would like a cup of tea before they leave 🙂
Point outside and say, “Holy shit, is that a *fire*?”
Open the door, get everyone outside, then *bam*! Shut the door and lock it. Guests gone.
Change the WiFi password.
Flood the house
I tell everyone it’s my bed time and they are welcome to stay but I am turning in. If they are decent friends they will get the message
Just fall asleep in front of them.
Or excuse yourself for a few minutes and go put your PJs on and come back out.
If you’re in the US Midwest, especially Minnesota or Wisconsin, unfortunately it’s a very long process, you can’t rush it. But at least get the process started slap your knees and say “whelp, I suppose.”
Move the conversation in the kitchen, this’ll take at least an hour, and get out your leftover cool whip and butter containers and start packing up leftovers. Just hope no one got a new lawnmower or fishing gear because that’ll add another hour. But after that move to the front door, and talk another hour, then you can escort them to the car and you probably will only need another hour after that.
Good luck to you, if you start now they’ll probably be gone before it gets dark.
“I, uh… I wanna thank you all for coming here tonight and drinking all of my booze.
No, really. Uh… There’s a thing about being a Wayne that… you’re never short of a few freeloaders, like yourselves, to fill up your mansion with, so, here’s to you people. Thank you.
To all of you, uh, all you phonies, all of you two-faced friends, you sycophantic suck-ups who smile through your teeth at me, please leave me in peace. Please go. Stop smiling. It’s not a joke. Please leave. The party’s over. Get out.”
Get naked.
Scenario 1: Everyone gets weirded out and leaves.
Scenario 2: You know what scenario 2 is.
I just keep finding reasons to leave the room, put things away, turn off lights, drink water. Leaving for longer and longer til I just go to bed. Lol I will Irish exit my own party!
We don’t have a word to use like “whelp” here. Maybe a “Well alright, I better letcha get.”
Shit your pants
My grandfather used to look at my grandmother and say
“well, Shirley. We had better get to bed so these kids can go home”
Buy a pet tarantula and get it out every time you want people to leave
Trebuchet
Look out the window and say…I think the sun is coming up.
“Well I’ll let y’all go”
Is it a party? If so, you start cleaning up. Start washing dishes. Start the vacuum. Start collecting trash. And make it obvious. People will get the hint.
“You don’t have to go home now but you can’t stay here”
Or
“Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry?”
Just be blunt, “Hey I’m all companyed out and need my house to myself, can I help you get a ride home?”
I mean if I want my guests to leave I will tell them that I feel sleepy and they usually get it
Permanent solution: Start asking them for help. Blatantly.
Temporary solution: Got to go somewhere? Tell them you’re just about to leave, but have x minutes.
🔥
Gather everyone together and say “Let’s all take a selfie together before you leave.”
Way back in the day in college, if I had an, ehm, overnight guest, I would tell her my mom was coming to visit me in the morning. They’d be out before the sun came up.
Hope this helps OP
Rip a massive fart, say “Well foreplays over, if you dont want to see whats happening next I suggest you leave.”
I first read this as “a creative way to get rid of ghosts” and I was excited to see the answers.
Pick a fight with your spouse/partner.
I don’t think it’s particularly creative, but I start doing chores and assigning them chores to help out. If they don’t excuse themselves after the first round of assignments just do “oh, can you take this [bag of trash] to the bin on your way out?”
Please pick up your coats. You have twenty seconds to comply.
Text a friend to call you and pretend an emergency. Foolproof I can tell you.
“As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.”
Faking your own death.
I just shit my pants could you come back later
Go take a piss but leave the door open. Works 99% of the time.
You gotta hit em with the ole Midwestern “Ope! Might be about time!” *slap hands on knees while seated and start to stand up*
But then you gotta get ready for the 30 minute convo in the driveway before they actually drive off, so use this one earlier than you need
Start loading the dishwasher. Either they start helping clean the kitchen or they go home.
pull out your vast array of very life like dragon dildos and announce, I hope everyone brought their lube!
what do you mean not everyone has a vast array of very lifelike dragon dildos?
The only time I met my partners 94 year old grandfather before he passed he said to his daughter who was over visiting,
“Shouldn’t you be getting home to that new husband of yours before this one leaves you too?”
And she just laughed and saw herself out.
I PRAY I get to say something this snarky to get someone out of my house someday.
I was hanging out with this guy I had a crush on and he told me he had diarrhea. I don’t know if he actually did or he was just trying to get rid of me 😂
I have friends over for dinner many times a month during the week. They all know it’s eat-clear-get out. I don’t want to have to give anyone a boot out, my friends are happy to be home by 8:30, and we all get to eat with friends.
On weekends though, if I don’t see naked people by 9:45 you have to leave by ten and I’m going to bed. Sorry, it’s the rule. Sadly, everybody ignores me and I go to bed anyway. They don’t care.
I have been at an event where they silently stood up, got a gong and methodically hit the gong and pointed to the door. They repeated this process while gently herding you towards the exit.
Ah, the classic ’emergency phone call’ maneuver. Excuse yourself from the room, grab your phone, and then return with a look of concern. ‘I’m so sorry, but I just got a call from [insert fictional urgent situation here]. I hate to cut our time short, but I need to deal with this immediately. I’ll walk you out.’ Smooth, effective, and leaves no room for argument!
