Friends of friends should be invited as well as new neighbors. The event should be casual and a means to network and build new relationships.  The more the merrier as they say!

Pick a House Warming Theme

While it can remain a casual event, having a theme is always adding a bit of excitement. If you aren't sure of what kind of theme to go with, the Internet is full of ideas. Some ideas of themes even involve having your guests help you design your new home and make it your own.

The Details

While you want your housewarming party to remain a casual event, you don't want to skimp on the details. While you don't necessarily need to send out a formal invitation, you will want to be very specific about your address and what your guests can expect in terms of dinner and time commitment. Additionally, if you truly don't want a house warming gift, specify that in the invitation and offer an alternative instead. Alternatively, most guests do not want to arrive empty handed so if there are items you need, don't feel bashful in asking.

Hopefully with these tips in mind, you can begin to think about planning a house warming party for your friends and family. It should not be a stressful event so think about what would truly make you the most happy when planning.
