What's ur opinion?
Does it take away from the holiness of the day?

My husband doesn't love having guests RH but to me guests make Yom tov.
We compromise with the type of guests we have and my husband doesn t do the socializing, I do. Sometimes he even says tehillim at the table.
That's how it works for us.

I find it too hard to
Coordinate what time to eat since different shuls finish different times.

If my friends and I all
Davened at the same
Shul I’d consider hosting

I find guests on RH does not work well.
Obviously if it’s a true need, than yes.
If it’s just for fun, no

Having lunch guests keeps you from shul? Granted I don’t go to shul, but can you explain this? I don’t understand.

Words have creative power and so ideally I would like the only words I say to be machzor and tehillim. I do communicate with the people around me as needed but I don't converse and tell those I'm hosting that I won't. If other people talk, that's fine. I'm not going to participate.

Depends on the person. Most don't turn down. It's quieter and often guests are saying tehillim at the meal. But some meals do turn lively, and I'm not at all bothered by that.

We only host sleepover family, not just neighborhood friends to be social.

I’ve never heard something like that?
Where does this come from?
What I’ve learned is that on rosh hashonah we crown Hashem. So there are times to be serious but also times to be b’simcha!

There is a Chassidic custom, based on kabbala, not to talk on the first night of Rosh Hashana. This is related to the sefira of Malchus and the way it interacts with our world. Once we have blown shofar the first day and crowned Hashem as our King this element is no longer relevant but some are careful not to speak about uneccesary matters and utilize free moments to say tehillim all yomtov.
Specifically, amongst Chabad chassidim this practice of not talking can be found
(Not everyone keeps this practice, but its discussed in depth by the Rebbeim of Chabad)

Of course we have guests. A) it's not Yom tov (or shabbos) without guests and B) people need meals. But it doesn't interfere with shul cause only ever host nights (shabbos included).
