Someone else's house is full of small unknowns: where things are, what the rules are, what's for snack. Naming that it will be different, and that they can ask or take a break, makes a strange house feel safer.
One tip from a dad who's been there
Tell your child one or two specific differences ahead of time (their dog, no shoes inside) so the surprises are smaller. It's okay to bring a familiar snack or comfort item.
Common questions
What should I tell the other parent ahead of time?
The two or three things that matter: what helps when things get loud, what your kid eats, and that you will come early if needed, no drama. Most parents are glad to know. Keep it short and matter-of-fact.
Can I make this in Spanish?
Yes. Every tool and this page exist in Spanish, and the printed page comes out in the language you choose. Use the language switch at the top.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup and nothing you type is stored. Make it, print it, done.
