A housewarming should feel relaxed, which means doing a few things ahead of time. This housewarming party checklist covers the invitations, prep, food and small details for a party in a home that may still have boxes in it.
Keep it easy: finger foods, a few drinks (including non-alcoholic options) and a dessert. A potluck works well and saves cooking in a kitchen you’re still unpacking.
How soon after moving should you have a housewarming?
Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months in. The house doesn’t need to be finished — just clean in the rooms guests will see.
