The friends can follow your family rules. They may need a warning if it's something minor. What age are they? No harm in telling them all (ds inc) your expectations of how they ate expected to behave if they are maybe 15 and might think it ok to go for a few drinks (ie clarify that is not ok). But to be honest, what and how much you need to say depends very much on the kids themselves and their age and personality. Only you can judge. Don't go overboard either!!!

I just remember a holiday with my friend and his family abroad to Spain. We were 15 and his parents gathered his brothers, him and myself and laid out some ground rules. But their parents had already told my mum and dad the rules to reiterate to me anyway. I.e they look after my spends, we can't go out past 8 etc. Why don't you try that?

Your rules are what stands and if anyone falls out then you have to play peacemaker and arrange a fun activity to get them talking again.

Big responsibility so I get your worries.
