Throwing A Fantastic House Warming Party
Have you recently moved into a new home in a fresh neighborhood? If so, then you should definitely think about throwing a housewarming party and you should aim to do this no later than the second weekend after you move in. If it’s any later than this, it can feel a tad out of place. A house warming party is a great way to get to know the rest of the neighborhood and ensure that you and your family can sink into the social group while celebrating this new chapter with friends. So, let’s look at steps to take.
Invite The Right People
First you need to make sure that you are inviting the right people to your housewarming party. This should include the majority of the people in your neighborhood. They might not all show up, but you should definitely present them with the option. A common mistake is accidentally missing out a house or two. It could be worth planning out which houses you are going to invite so you don’t invite someone further away while missing out a house that is closer. This can send the wrong message.
Prepare Food And Drink
If you are having a housewarming party, then you need to make sure that you are ready to wine and dine your guests. You should provide them with delicious food to eat and wonderful drinks too. We recommend that you aim to have a healthy mixture here and try to cater to a wide variety of diet choices. You also don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen on the day of the party. It’s important to mingle so look for things that you can prepare beforehand. For instance, you can make mushroom quiche from scratch hours before guests start to pour through your door.
Set The Mood
Next, you need to make sure that you are setting the mood of your house warming party. If you are throwing it a little later in the evening, then set up the right lighting. You can hang lanterns over your garden to create a relaxing environment. Or, you can think about playing music at your party as well. This is a great way to help guests unwind if you choose the right playlist.
Think About Weather Concerns
Finally, with COVID still looming large and the delta variant swirling, you might be keen to make sure that the majority of the housing warming party does take place outside. This is completely understandable, but it’s worth noting that the weather might not play by your rules. This means that you do need a space ready for guests inside your home as well. If you don’t do this and the weather turns then you’ll have no choice but to send them back which is the last thing you need.
We hope this helps you understand some of the key steps that you should explore to guarantee that you do throw an awesome housewarming party. By following this advice, you can be sure that you do make friends with the neighbors and fit well into a brand new social group.
