Create Memorable House Warming Invitations

A new home is special and calls for memorable house warming invitations. The invitations can also be sent to family and friends to announce your move and keep them informed of your new address. If you are a friend or neighbor that is throwing a house warming party, the invitations are just the first step in hosting a successful event. But at least you’re not the one also packing and moving into a new home. Try to make the party as fuss-free for the new homeowners by planning the invite list, what kind of food you will serve, and suggesting gift ideas to the invitees. You can take your cues from the party recipient and this will help in planning a memorable gathering.

If you don’t want to buy pre-made invites, you can create your own using blank invitations. Make them special by including something like a picture of the new house or a drawing of the families in your neighborhood. The wording of the invitations should indicate whether gifts are expected and specific directions for finding the new home. Probably many of your guests will not have visited the house yet, so good directions will make planning easier all around.

Other Cute Ideas

In addition to invites, create some special gifts for the new homeowners to remember the day. If the house is a fixer-upper, you may want to take the “before” pictures, and then present them to the owners when they complete their changes to the house. Too often, moving takes so much effort, that small things like this are forgotten, and years from now, your neighbors will thank you when they look at the photos.

Other great housewarming presents include gift certificates and maps to local restaurants and stores. It may be a while before all of the dishes and pans are unpacked, so the new family will appreciate a meal out in their new neighborhood.
