Create a guest list: Note down the names of all the invitees and make sure that everyone’s invited. Planning according to the guest list will help you know the number of people your house can accommodate during the party.
Thematic party: This is one of the innovative ideas of hosting a house warming party where the party can be theme related. It can include activity related games or activities like gardening or painting at your new home. Games like an icebreaker can be arranged or guests who turn up early can help you paint or garden your new home by bringing plants along. You can let them know about this activity in advance. If you do not prefer to let your guests toil at your new home, you can throw a pool party if you own a pool.
Alluring invitations: Begin by stopping at a popular printing store and order for a decided number of invitations for your guests. Giving precise directions and the address is an important part of the invitation card. Mention the time and the venue as well. Prefer cards with attractive features and illustrations.
Once you are done with the invitation cards, encounter your neighbours and introduce yourself and invite them. You can also invite people through a mail or a message. Do not forget to include an RSVP, as this will give you an idea about how many people will be attending.
Welcome them: People mostly are unable to find the way to your new place. You can always call them and guide them the way and welcome them at your doorstep.
Avoid flaunting expensive delicate knick knacks: If you have moved into your new home before the ceremony, make sure you arrange and carton all your delicate, exotic imports before the arrival of the guests. Leaving all your expensive accessories around will result in the damage by the rambunctious kids running around.
Decoration: Filling your home with all the furniture is really not necessary during the time of the ceremony. One can decorate their house by lighting candles, spraying room fresheners and keeping their house clean. Also to make it more precise you can create your own placards, hang them on the doors and address the kinds of rooms in your house.
Food: The most preferable food for a housewarming party is the finger food. Delicacies like Chips, salads, rolls and appetizers can be served. But these days, housewarming ceremonies in India preferably serve a proper meal to their guests. You can either hire a chef at home or order the food from outside. Serving drinks along with the food will add to the compliment. Make sure that you buy the drinks a day before and refrigerate it. You can also arrange a buffet system wherein the guests find it convenient to serve their preferred food.
Comforting guests: Make all the seating and food arrangements for the guests to avoid inconvenience. You can also play music to entertain them. Show them around the house and offer them the delicacies.
Interaction: Mingle along and make sure that your old neighbours are introduced to the new ones. This will make the guests feel at ease.
Thank them: You can depart your guests with a gift and thank them for coming over your new place. Also you can send them an email post the party for coming over.
