Hungarian to English Other Other társas érintkezés
"Amikor felkészülünk a vendéglátásra.sokmindent végig kell gondolni" Egy általános kifejezést keresek, ami kifejezi az, hogy magánember meghívja saját otthonába ismerőseit társas összejövetelre általában (nem konkrétan ebéd vagy vacsora) ami lehet akár egy party, vagy délutáni tea, vagy vacsora utáni ital.

who is talking? A realtor would talk about entertaining. A host who would talk like that is a fairly peculiar person.
Average Joe in Texas would say he's having people over.
Hosting guests is not really an expression. You host a party or an event, esp. if you're upper crust. You do not host guests, as a matter of course. Just because there are examples of such usage does not make it right.
Everyone can say I'm preparing to have guest (best choice) but having houseguests would imply that they stay overnight.

having guests [in the house]

Általános kifejezés, de mindenre alkalmas, mert az entertaining is jó, de ha rokon jön, arra az már nem. Arra sem, ha mondjuk a katicabogáridomító liga társtagjait meghívod egy megbeszélésre és azt a házatokban tartjátok. A having guest meg ezekre is jó.

Arra figyelni kell, hogy bár azt adott mondat:
"When preparing for entertaining we have to consider a lot of aspects.", ha más a mondat más lehet a kifejezés is.

Pl. "Thank you for your kind hospitality."
Vagy ha tényleg oldott a szituáció, akkor: "Thank you for having us."
