Congrats on moving into your new house! After this big move, you deserve a moment to party and celebrate this accomplishment. What's the best way to do that? A housewarming party, of course! Continue reading to for some tips on how to throw a housewarming party as an easy and great way to introduce people to the new house.
The first tip on how to throw a housewarming party is to keep it light and simple. Start by knowing how many people are coming to your new house. Don't try and over-invite, but instead keep to about 20 people, including new neighbors, friends, and family in the area. The reason for keeping it simple and light is so that you have less work to do yourself. You already moved, which is a physically and mentally draining job. Try to keep the housewarming party in the afternoon, as opposed to late at night or early in the morning.
Make the job light for yourself by ordering food in and having a bunch of snacks for the guest to munch on. The key to a successful housewarming party is less is more. You get to actually mingle and hang out with your guests when you've opted for catered instead of cooking. If you choose to cook food yourself, you may not have the time to interact and hang out with your guests. Many people love charcuterie boards, chips, and dips, and everyone loves pizza. People won't care about what you are ordering, they are just happy to be getting free food, as well as the chance to see your new home and be with you.
After you throw a housewarming party, don't stress about the cleanup process. Instead, opt for a local cleaning service to clean up after everyone.
If this is your first time trying to throw a housewarming party, you may feel like everything has to be perfect and go according to plan. Relax and breathe - not everything has to be perfect for a successful housewarming party. Enjoy this time with your friends and family in the new house. If you need to take a moment for yourself, just go outside and take a deep breath of fresh air. Everything will work out in your new home!
Of course, before throwing a housewarming party you will need a professional moving service to help you move into your new home. Contact our Boulder moving company to learn more about our residential Boulder movers and how we can help you relocate.
