Before you set a date for your housewarming party, think about upcoming holidays and other potential conflicts.
Send invitations well in advance so guests will have time to make travel and childcare arrangements.
Don’t let the guest list get out of control. Be realistic about the amount of space you have available.
Serve a variety of food and beverages. Consider dietary restrictions and allergies. If you decide to serve alcohol, consider having individuals who overindulge spend the night at your house.
As family and friends arrive, give them personalized tours of your new home.
Play an eclectic mix of music. Plan games that everyone will enjoy.
If you want to host the party outside, think about what you’ll do if it rains. Consider renting a tent so you won’t have to worry about the weather.
