Hosting a Housewarming Party After Moving Into a New Home

 

Hosting Advice from Professional NYC Movers

You’ve taken the time to find a new home, pack, and move. It’s time to relax, enjoy yourself, and make yourself at home. Whether you choose to relax amongst unpacked boxes after a move with the help of family and friends or wait until the last decoration is hung on the walls, a housewarming party is a great way to celebrate the effort that you’ve put into finding the right space.

Variations of Hosting a Housewarming Party

Housewarming parties are unique in the way that they can happen at any time during the unpacking stage. For some, spending time with the family and friends that helped you move right after an exhausting day is the perfect way to round out the moving experience. Others might prefer to wait until they feel more settled before inviting guests over. Whatever your preference, a housewarming party is a great way to start feeling at home in your new house by filling it with those that love you most.

For the moving-day partiers–you’re tired, your family is tired, even your dog is tired-a good meal is just what the doctor ordered. Send one or two members of your moving party out to grab your favorite style of takeout and a few beverages to share while the rest of you unpack the table and chairs (or a make shift table and chairs!) Enjoy a good meal, play some relaxing music, and reflect on the day and some fun memories you share. It may not be the most classically glamorous of parties, but it’s a great opportunity to build memories with your loved ones with no cooking involved.

For the party planners–getting settled in is the first step. You don’t have to have every single box unpacked before a house warming party, but you’ll want to have most of the furniture in place and at least a few personal touches like favorite art pieces. Once you’ve decided on a date to host, compile your guest list, and send out invitations early if possible. Along with inviting family and friends, consider inviting your new neighbors who might want to get to know you. When deciding on food for the event, it’s alright to keep it simple so you can keep the focus on your guests. Finger foods like chips, veggies, and dip, and fruits are great for snacking and easy to replenish. All-in-all, prepare to give a few tours of the house and have a good time conversing about your new home and the moving process.
