How do you politely decline a house guest?
How do you politely decline a house guest? You tell them “no.” You do it bluntly if they continue to make plans for you. “This is not a good time for me to have guests in my home. I will keep you in mind when I plan something in the future.” Walk away if possible or end the phone call after saying your answer.
