Wanted: Welcome Home Ideas
Kate has sent in the following request. Do any of our readers have any ideas?
My brother is bringing his new girlfriend home to england from america both early 30’s
I would like to make the welcome home special - any ideas?
If you have any ideas please drop them in the box below.
Welcome home signs
One rather obvious way would be to post welcome home signs on lamp posts and at street junctions all of the way to the house. This way they would see them on their journey to the house.
Arrange a limousine
You could arrange for them to be picked up from the airport by a limousine. I always fancied having someone meet me with one of those airport signs at the airport. (Sent in by Amy)
How about a bottle of champagne on ice?
You could bake a cake and put the words “Welcome home” on top of the cake.
One thing to watch out for would be to not make a big meal. People could well have eaten on the plane, or feel very joggled after a long journey. Much better to have a light snack ready prepared and not have too high expectations of them needing to eat.
One thing to be particularly careful of is to cook a special meal

How about putting a ribbon on the dog? Odds on the dog may well be one of the first things that they see.
You could also decorate the house with baloons.
(Thanks to AmyP)Take rose pedals and make a heart in their room. then write “welcome home” in the heart.
(Thanks to Anonymous)You could give them a hug?
(Thanks to Anonymous)Have a photo album about your brother so his friend has a better understanding of his family.
