So you've moved into your brand-new Artisan Built home -
sounds like this occasion calls for a celebration to us! We think a
housewarming party is a perfect way to enjoy your new home and invite family
and friends to join in the excitement!
The place you choose to call home is special and you should
share that with those you love most. If you're not sure about how to get
started, we've gathered the best tips on how to host a fantastic housewarming
party to celebrate your new home and show it off to guests!
Pick a
Date
First things first, select the best time to share your home
with family and friends. Don't feel the need to rush, your family deserves time
to settle into your new home before hosting guests! Take time to make your
house truly feel like home before sharing it with others.
Typically, most housewarming parties are casual occasions
where guests are free to come and go throughout a certain timeframe. Select a
clear start and end time such as two to four hours on a weekend afternoon or
evening to ensure you know when to expect guests to arrive.
Invite
Your Guests
Next, you need to decide who you want to invite to your
soiree! This is your first opportunity to share your home with others, so
consider who will most help you warm this new special space among your family
and friends. Make sure to send out invitations ahead of time - at least two to
three weeks - to give your guests adequate time to plan for the occasion. You can
also plan to send out reminders a few days before.
Start off on the right foot and get to know your neighbors
by inviting them to your gathering! Extending an invitation to close neighbors
or other homeowners from your community is a wonderful way to introduce your
family to the neighborhood and make new friends.
Prep Your
Home
While your housewarming is an occasion to celebrate with
friends and family, it's also an opportunity to show off your beautiful new
home! That's why your home should appear prepped and seamless for the event.
Every space should be open and easily accessible for guests to pass through.
Plan out spaces where you'll serve food and drinks, as well
as comfortable seating areas for your guests. Organize your home to allow space
for all your guests and clear up any clutter. Guests will want to take a look
around, so you'll want your home to look as gorgeous as ever!
Choose
Party Food
We all know that the best parties are sure to have amazing
food options, so be sure to serve delicious food that your guest will enjoy!
As housewarming parties are often a more casual affair, it's
best to set out light food choices and drinks for guests to grab - think hors
d'oeuvres and charcuterie board spreads! These foods should be easy to prepare
and will offer guests plenty of options to choose from.
Expect to
Give Tours
Your housewarming party is the perfect opportunity to
highlight everything you love about your new Artisan Built home! What better
way to make sure they see everything that makes your new home special than by
giving them a tour?
We suggest mapping out a full tour of your home to seamlessly
lead your guests from room to room. Point out your favorite features and spaces
to show family and friends the wonderful aspects that inspired you to make this
your new home!
Send
Thank You Notes
Show guests your appreciation for their company by sending
out thank you cards after your special occasion. They'll appreciate the
thoughtful gesture and you'll be able to share how much you enjoyed the event
thanks to each of them!
Now that you have our best tips, you're ready to throw a
