Possibly this one? If you're putting them up, place it on their bedside table.

Give it to 'em straight.
Here, like this :
Woman 'shocked' after friend charges her '£800 plus food' to stay at her house
5 days! No wimping out, now.
What a kicker, eh?
Here, like this :
A woman has taken to the internet for advice after a friend charged her hundreds of pounds to spend five nights in her home.
Posting on Mumsnet, the user explained that she had arranged back in January to visit an old friend and her husband, who live in Southern Italy, along with her own husband and two children.
However, just five days before they were due to leave, the friend then informed her she would like to be paid £800 – plus the cost of food – to host them.
“I’m shocked and deeply upset,” said the woman

Maybe just email and say that you're looking forward to seeing them and where will they be staying?

I wouldn't mind so much if we had seen them regularly over the years when we were in easy driving distance in the UK...
