How to politely decline visitors

Emerson2007 · May 2009

What is a generic phrase that won't offend anyone if we don't want company this week? I'm worn out and not in the mood, but i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I am surprised at how many people have invited themselves over all at once. That didn't happen with Ds #1 at all.

I think you should just say "Things are a little hectic here right now. ?Could we pick a date in a couple of weeks, once things have settled down?" ?I doubt anyone would be offended - I certainly wouldn't be if someone said that to me. ?

I just told the truth, we are tired and going to lay down to rest can we call you in a few days to have you come over?? I was so hormonal I didn't care about anyone's feelings at that time

I just told them I was tired and needed to rest.

agree with other posters. you could also say that you are exhausted and would like them to visit at a time when you can really enjoy spending time with them.
