Welcome home! Here’s how you can throw a fabulous housewarming party!*

Here you are looking at a new place with your beloved partner by your side and whispering to him/her, “Our home!” Doesn’t it feel bewildering when you say these words? We are sure that you are still stuck imagining the time when you finally signed the purchase agreement and brought the property. Right?

In fact, purchasing this property must be a very proud moment of your life. And this proud moment speaks for a celebration. But celebrating on your own isn’t fun at all. So, how about making your beloved friends and family a part of your celebration?

Because “Happiness tends to grow when you share it with others.” 

To say it in simple terms, you should throw a housewarming party. NO! Not just a simple party but a fabulous one, so that at least for half a decade your friends and family talk about your house.

Hey! If you think it’ll get a bit expensive, we must tell you to sit back and relax. This celebration will be huge and grand; however, it won’t create any burden on your pocket. Hang on! Don’t you believe us? Well, you will once you’ll find out how? So, keep on reading!

Decide the theme of the party.

You might agree with us that there is no fun and excitement in simple get-togethers. Your guests will come, bring gifts, eat food, and will bid goodbye. Now, that is pretty boring and lame. And who wants that?

Celebrations should feel like celebrations. Therefore, to make your celebrations unforgettable is by deciding on a theme. Generally, when people talk about deciding the theme, they start to think out of the box ideas. It is good to think creatively. But when you have a budget to plan within, thinking out of the box turns into out-of-pocket ideas. And we don’t want that.

Thus, you need to go with the minimal concept, i.e., a basic idea that is simple but classic, such as high school student theme, 80s prom night, convenience store (help yourself counter), and many more. If you want you can also decide the dress code for the celebrations.

P.S. Don’t forget to create an invitation after deciding the theme. Also, ensure that all the information mentioned in the invitations (Date, Time, Theme, and Venue) is correct.

Create a list of guests

Once you have created the invitation, you need to decide about the people you’ll send the invitations to. Kindly prepare your guest list very carefully. We don’t want you to forget about someone, and they regret it later on.

Another thing that you need to keep in mind while creating the guest list is your house’s space. We understand that you’d want to include as many people as you can in this celebration. However, you also need to understand that there should be enough space in your living room for everyone. You don’t want your guests to feel congested, right? Thus, be wise while creating the list.

Collect the party supplies

The next thing you need to do is go to the market and collect all the supplies you need for the party. It’ll include decorations, cleaning supplies, cutlery, and lots of other things.

In addition to this, you should also get extra dustbins so that when the celebration is going on, your guests throw the junk in dustbins, and you can save yourself from the trouble of after-party clean up. Besides that, who likes to make their brand new home messy? So, don’t forget about the cleaning supplies!

Make arrangements for sitting. 

After you have got all the supplies you need for the celebration, you need to get started with the preparations. First of all, make sure that the house is looking pretty and is clean. Decorate the place according to the theme and then the most crucial step, i.e., plan for the sitting arrangements.

Remember the rule of celebrations “Comfort of every person is the priority.” That’s the reason why the professionals at Moderndigsfurniture.com recommend getting accent chairs. These chairs are great for every occasion and also give your living room a modern look. Whatever your guests want to do, be it reading books (for your sweet introverted friends) or playing games (for your “always extra” extrovert friends), they can sit and relax on accent chairs and do it.

Decide about the food and drinks. 

Let’s be honest! Your friends and family love food more than they love you. Yeah! It is a hard truth, but it is what it is, right? Moreover, we also know that you also love food more than anything. That means it’s a bingo!

So, don’t forget to decide about the food and drinks that’ll make your celebrations even grander. However, deciding the food that everyone would love can get challenging; that’s why we have prepared a list of food items that you can select:

• BBQ
• Charcuterie
• Fruit salsa
• Greek Shrimp Canapes
• Spiced red sangria
• Mini Beef Tourtieres

P.S. If your guest list involves children, then you need to plan for the food and beverage accordingly. And if you have included alcoholic beverages, kindly keep them away from the kids.

Plan some fun activities 

What’s a party without fun? Probably as boring as a parent-teacher conference. Right? Now, do you want your special day to be that boring? No! That’s why you must plan for some fun activities and can add life to your celebrations. As for some ideas, you can do a “Tour hunt,” i.e., a house tour but in a travel hunt way or “cheat sheet,” i.e., taking the help of your guests to unpack the stuff and decorating the room or a specific area (because who said your guests couldn’t help you with house arrangements).

If you want something simple, you can always go for board games, movies, or karaoke.

Wrapping up!

All these tips will help you in organizing a fabulous housewarming party. And we are sure that it won’t make your pockets empty. Besides, when you are with your beloved friends and family, even the simplest things turn extraordinary.
