Clearing the table before everyone's done
When hosting people at your place for a meal, don't start clearing the table until everyone is done eating. It could make your guests feel rushed. You can, however, stack the dishes as you clear the table when everyone is finished. Because you're not in a restaurant setting, there's no need to make several back and forth trips to the kitchen if you can carry multiple plates at once.
