Planning a Housewarming Party


Home sweet home! You’ve finally moved into your new house and can’t wait to show off to friends and family. So the obvious idea that comes to mind is to throw a housewarming party for them. Now that takes a lot of planning and preparation, but it’s not really that difficult when you organize your life. Here are some things that need to go on your planning list.


Making a guest list should be the start. Think about how many guests you can afford to invite and, if needed, wean out people who aren’t in the inner circle of friends. Group your guests according to the rooms you assign. Move on to the food and discuss the menu with other family members. You can then arrange for the caterers, decorators and invitation cards. Follow it up by sending out the invites at the right time. You’ll need to give them ample time to rearrange their schedules to make it to your party. It’s imperative to give the directions to the venue in your invitation cards, with appropriate landmarks.


Make a checklist of everything that you need to do. An online organization tool will also help you plan better. When you have everything organized to the last detail, things rarely go wrong. So get started and warm your house in a grand way.
