Absolutely love hosting.
Grew up abroad, where my mother used to keep open house for, well anyone really. No great luxury, you would be lucky to get a chair to yourself but always a warm welcome and a sympathetic ear.
I love having people around. I love being able to invite people to our for coffee after say a meal. My favourite way of 'entertaining' is to have people for drinks, go out to a walking distance restaurant and back to ours for coffee. We always have the makings of coffee, and something sweet.
Just back from a weeks holiday where one evening I 'hosted' a bring your own salad party in my balcony. I like having people round
I've always invited people I like back to mine. It's a way to show you like someone and would like to get to know them better. It's a nice thing to do and doesn't need any preparation.
Having been 'invited home' sets a new or possible new friendship on a firm footing.
It would never occur to me that they might judge my house or my circumstances. If they did, or do, then I think that says much more about them than it would ever say about me.
The trick if you do need everyone, or even just the last stragglers, to be gone, is to offer 'would you like to visit the loo before you set off'. And bring their coats to them so they put them on right away. Sorted.
