Welcome Home Ideas

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

Ribbon on the dog

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 tinkerbell — August 13, 2009

well there coming home.. its nothing so WOO
the last thing ur brothers GF needs is to feel guilty about how much effort u made, and she may just want to rest after a long journey. So just stick to the normal WELCOME HOME banner, and make some English tea and bake a cake that also says WELCOME HOME, im sure she’ll be more grateful to you, rather than having baloons and silly string everywhere.. let her rest and for dinner make something VERY english, bangers and mash, i doubt she’ll want the usual USA food
good luck and remember not to over do it, you’ll only embarrass yourself

My boyfriend just got home from his church retreat today. I am going to make him a little welcome home party on Sunday, March 14th. I am going to treat him out to a nice romantic dinner, and go see a movie that he wants to go see, and my grandma is going to make him a welcome home cake for him. So I am going to make a welcome home sign.

You could make a banner so the person that’s coming home feels welcome!

Thanks to Miranda — March 30, 2011

Just make them feel special, put all attention on them. They might be tired from the flight so maybe make a trail of cards saying quotes or something up to their bed, rest might be what they need. You could watch a classic movie as a family or have the table set with candles for a meal as a family. If it were me I’d do the card trail, I’d bake a cake, make a banner and/or a card and I’d buy a let go lantern – as a family set it off and watch it drift into the nights sky together:)

Thanks to Rebekah — June 5, 2011

Just make sure you leave them alone after the surprise, they’re tired

Thanks to MWAHAHAHAH!!!!! — June 28, 2011

You should make a banner, hang up balloons, make a nice dinner. You could throw a surprise party, invite friends over and have everyone jump out when the person comes in.

I would take a single sheet and get some finger panit and let friends and family put their hand prints on it with the words Welcome Home in the middle. I did that for my husband when he came home from deploymnet. My friends in our little area put their hands on the sheet and we hung it up next to the road the day he came home.

Thanks to Tabitha — September 17, 2011

You could start off by decorating the outside of your house with streamers, then you could get balloons on the outsude and when the walk into the house they could walk into a big group hug with banners and cupcakes and cards and love <3
