This is one of the more common concerns that many hosts have, because it is a practical one! Preparing logistics is more than just having enough in the home for everyone. It is also about considering the rules of engagement within the household. 

As you prepare the necessary logistics in the house, there are some basics on the top half of the infographic that you can consider providing. These basic items help facilitate a comfortable assimilation of your prospective guest. As your guest has his/her own belongings, it is healthy to set aside spaces for their own items. You may provide items that they may not have.

Beyond just preparing logistics, consider having some basic house rules and systems. As every family operates differently, it is wise to have alignment on unwritten rules such as laundry days, use of kitchen and consumption of perishables. The second half of the infographic provides pointers on how, as a host, you can set boundaries so as to maintain a sense of normalcy even in your family. You can also gradually invite your guest to your own culture and practices.
