How do you politely tell your guests it’s time to leave your house and the party’s over 🙄?

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 I’ll just turn off the lights

[Finchie40]

LOL I just experienced this , this past Saturday night , Friends of mine showed up at my house to hang out and drink some brew around 730 pm having a good time talking and laughing, eventually I started feeling tired as shit , when I looked at the clock it was 3 am , my friends were still drinking and chatting away to the point I could barely keep my eyes open , I had to stop the conversation and said sorry guys my ass is tired I need to go to bed , I felt bad but at that point I was just being honest and said we will continue another night this is way passed my bed time I need sleep , I am sorry I am being a wimp but I worked my ass off in the yard today and my body is telling me I am done. I said it in a polite jokingly way and they understood and we shook hands and I walked them to the door and said let’s chill again soon , they were cool with it and understood , After I walked them out , I went and collapsed in bed , I can’t recall the last time I stayed up til 3 am , I was actually shocked I made it that long lol it’s been a long time since I stayed up that late lol That’s what aging does to ya lol ,

Be honest in a sympathetic way. Tell them you're getting socially burnt out and it's about time to wrap it up. When they can sympathize it's hard to take something personal.

Typically half and hour after you've had enough, start collecting the drinking glasses and wrapping up the food supply if any. Then start aggressively picking up chairs, turning off music, walking around with a trash bag and passive aggressively making comments about needing to get up early for work, or go wherever early in the morning. Lastly for anyone still not getting the hint, directly look them in the eye and tell them hey, great party, I'm tired, everyone is gone, do you have your stuff, let me walk you to the door.

[SushiSxnpai]

leave. respectfully.

[RosieMelts]

Lmfao we just leave a suitcase behind the door and yell as if we forgot some other plans

”Shoot we’re gonna miss our flight! Yeah, we’re heading to Melbourne! We’ll be gone for (_____ however much time you need until your guests can come back to your house and you can restock on all the lemon cake that the watsons just can’t seem to get enough of______)!”

*Walk em out the door, drive out (doing 90) around the block *one time* then SLOWLY (slowly otherwise you’ll miss it) drive by and see if they’re out the driveway, then head in.*

It’s a piece of cake 🙂.. the kind that the watsons can’t seem to ge- I’m not holding a grudge 🙂..

[AviatorTom]

Best way to do it politely is to talk with the guest (preferably a couple) that you are most friendly with, tell them that the party is over and ask them to announce to everyone that it's late and that they are leaving. Others will usually get the hint and leave too.

Just in case that doesn't work, it's time to be blunt. "Listen, everyone. We've had a great time. Thank you all for coming. We have a busy day tomorrow and need to get some sleep." Then, go to the door and hold it open for them.

People actually have to tell their guests when it's time to leave? In all my long years of living on this earth I did not realized this happens.

The guests just leave the house at sundown. I wonder why they always have perfect timing...

[Pinay_ako]

The party’s too lit 🔥 they don’t wanna leave 😂

[Blackcosmo]

LMAO

[Staximus]

At sundown? Are they old ladies or kids? Sundown is when all my friends show up and start getting stupid

[Blackcosmo]

@Staximus They're usually adults who are friends of my parents from another area and rarely kids but they're always little kids. We rarely get guests anyway.

[Staximus]

They probably have to drive far and don't want to drive tired, or get home super late

[Blackcosmo]

@Staximus Well it's more like they visit one of their family members nearby and drop by to say hi to us.
If it's our family member (s) as a guest they stay overnight or for a few days.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

It is exactly for this reason I use a hotel to meet up with guests.

Just book a table and when the time comes, you can instruct the staff to come up with anything to get the meeting to an end.

I don't want my house to adjust just for a guest. Better to meet outside somewhere. Dine there and finish things there only. No need to involve your members and everything.

Sounds, good?

[ObscuredBeyond]

Usually, after dessert has been served, most where I live only linger for another half hour at most, and then excuse themselves. When only one family/ guest / whatever is left, the host starts putting food and other items away. That's usually a clue that it's time to wrap up. The final guests then say their goodbyes and head out.

[BeachMe]

"It was great seeing you"

"thank you so much for the wine, we will have to do this again"

go put your pjs on 😂🤣

[MrPickles13]

I'd probably just say something like it's been good seeing you but either have other commitments and need to turn in and clean up. Or that it's been great but it's getting late or whatever.

I see your point it seems hard to be polite while asking someone to leave more so if they are a friend or family.

[RavVid]

Pull the phone out and say Siri set my alarm for 6 am? Or "Well thank you for coming, its been great having your company"

More likely I'd say I have to get up early before either of the above.

[petitedollbabee]

I just say “alright, I’m kicking you out now” in a cheeky tone. None of my friends or family take offence. I see no point in beating around the bush when I want someone to leave and have my own space back.

[NathanDavis]

"alright, that was it for me... I'll head to my chambers and you all lovely people know your way out"

lmao...

[dustybiker]

Do you come out in your robe to say this? 😂

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker more like a cloak... robes are too warm

[dustybiker]

Right. My bad.

[jengeorge26]

I just put on my baby doll nighty and say “Oh, you guys still here”?

[Pinay_ako]

Oooh some will might want to stay over 😝

[Jennz6]

@Pinay_ako well I might want someone to stay

[20yearsolder]

Well if there's my house, they're my friends so I just say get the fuck out. They don't get offended

[PJH359]

“Ok well as much as I’d love for everyone to stay, I’ve got an early day tomorrow. So let’s make this ‘last call’ and wrap things up.”

[BlueScorpio]

Just say well thanks for coming guys but I got to get to bed for work the next day or whatever else plans you have.

[ChiTown33]

Turn off the lights and go to bed. Kind of a hint. 🤣

[crossdressingrihno]

Hey guys I just realized it’s really f.. kin late and I got work in the morning so do you mind if we pick this up later?

[crossdressingrihno]

Or you could go down the stomach ache route

“Hey man my stomach isn’t feeling so good suddenly I think I might’ve ate something”
It doesn’t always work but it usually does

[Static_In_The_Attic]

It’s simple just tell them to get the hell out of here!

[Andres77]

Have a friend call you with an urgent message. Lots of girls left me at restaurants with that trick.

[Guardian45]

I just say, "Time for bed!" Scrath myself and start taking off my clothes.

NONE of my friends wanna see my nekkid ass, so they scramble for the door!

Quick! Easy-peasy!

[ArtemisSilver]

Turn off the music, lock up the bar and release the hounds.
