Tips to Throw a Housewarming Party
Rented or purchased, acquiring a new home is indeed an occasion worth celebrating. You are shifting your whole world and swapping your personal sanctum with a new but unfamiliar space. It might be an upgrade to your present living standards but you can still use some good wishes and love to flourish in the newly acquired space. After all an apartment can't warm itself, so you do need a housewarming. When all the boxes are unpacked and things are in place, call over some friends and family and have some fun. It need not be something too elaborate and formal, just as the name suggests a small get-together to warm things up and mark the beginning of building up of new memories in the new place.
However, contrary to the ideal condition, we end up taking unlimited stress in our greed for perfection. Indian families are too keen on impressing their guests that they end up stressing out over a week ahead of even a small family gathering. Unlike previous occasions, this time take a deep breath and lay back relaxed for the housewarming of your flat in Noida. Here are some extra tips you could use, just in case out of habit, if you feel like cheating and walking the extra mile to prep up for the party. These will help you keep it low notch.
€ On a foremost note, house warming is a pretty much personal affair and not an occasion for the pomp and show. You just need to secure blessings. So don't make it anything too grand, calling people from all over the world. You have just made a huge expenditure by buying that luxurious studio apartment in Noida. Perhaps, more spending would come your way, with insurance premiums, furnishings and million other things. So, invite people who are close and really count.
€ Instead of fretting about menu and food, make it a potluck. It is more viable, warm and fun. Encourage everyone to bring along a dish as they come to your flat in Noida. Even you can make a centre dish yourself.
€ Keep extra drinks ready, both soft and hard.
€ Plan some games or activity for the course of the party.
€ Don't worry about the mess; it can always be cleared later.
€ Instead of spending big time on invites, be a little creative and send out e-invites with cute little messages. This way you will save paper and will also be able to send customized invites to all guests.
So, enjoy the party, and make a good start at your new home.
