Ladies, I need some basic life advice from other attorneys! How many days maximum would you be willing to host a close friend (someone who would be in your bridal party) at your place?

I agree that this is missing a lot of context. Is the friend down on their luck and looking for a place to crash in between living situations? Are they traveling to your area and wanting to stay with you instead of a hotel? Or are they visiting specifically for you? All would merit different responses.

Generally, I don’t think I would host a friend for more than a week. I don’t have a spare bedroom or second shower (also a big factor) so they’d be sleeping in either me or my husband’s home office, and using our master bathroom to shower. I need my space and my routine, so I wouldn’t be OK with longer than a week, and realistically a long weekend would probably be about it

Literally as long as they needed/wanted. If we’re that close, I won’t feel like I need to entertain and “host” them. Hell, if they’re a good houseguest and they’ll watch the kids for free every now and again, they can move on in! 😂😂

Adding that I have a house with a guest room in the basement. Answer would be different with a small space.

A week

Are they coming in from out of state? Out of town? If out of state, as long as they want since they would likely be taking PTO from their job to visit. If the former, a weekend if they are about 2 hours away.

AA1 - I don’t think OP is saying that the guest is coming into town to attend her bridal party. She is saying that the guest is someone she is close enough with that they would be in her bridal party.

need more context to answer this.

As long as they want, but I have a separate guest suite in my house and I was really picky about who was in my bridal party.

I've had a friend stay with me 2 weeks while she was between places/relocating. She was working and I wasn't expected to entertain, so it wasn't a big deal. I definitely can't host family that long, but certain people make it easy to host them!

4 days is my max in my NYC 2/1 apartment. I have the second bedroom but it’s also my closet and office (I am fully remote) and only the 1 bathroom. 3 days ideal. 4 max.

My house is very small, like 1000 sq ft and only 1 bathroom which has its issues, but my office does have a daybed which serves as a guest bed. I'm an introvert. 1 night is ideal and 2 is probably my max unless they are OK with me working/I'm not expected to entertain, then I could probably go longer if needed but it's going to be very draining for me. I can obviously handle being with my friends for much longer if it's like an airbnb rental or something like that. Thankfully most of my friends are doing well and would probably rather stay at a hotel versus my shabby place. If someone really needed a place to stay for a while I'd of course let them but at that point I'm also networking for them and giving them money too and probably spending a lot of time at the office and gym

If I'm able to buy a bigger house with like more bathrooms/proper guest suite I think I could do a long weekend (work permitting) and it'd be fun
