I was 8 1/2 months pregnant when we moved in so we weren't fully done with the house for awhile because I wasn't much help. And 2. We didn't want to feel like we were gift grabbing because we had gotten married, had a baby, and bought a house pretty close together so people already bought us lots of gifts for engagement, showers, and wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-385403 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:09:23 +0000 DigAPony 385403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had one--the last time we moved was to a new city where we didn't know anyone, so there wouldn't have been anyone to invite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-385386 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 02:04:02 +0000 erinpye 385386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one once. I was corrected by my etiquette-loving grandmother that it is incorrect to call it a "housewarming" when throwing it yourself as that implies gifts, and it is instead an "open house," so that's what we called it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-384776 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 18:06:49 +0000 birdofafeather 384776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! i've done it at almost every place i've lived at! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-384745 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 17:56:16 +0000 luckypenny 384745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Were moving into a new apartment this month and I'm planning in throwing one after the holidays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-384702 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 17:32:38 +0000 Meridian 384702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I love a good housewarming party! We had one about 2 months after we moved into our condo, back in winter of 2009. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-384075 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:31:42 +0000 Alivoo01 384075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! We provided all the food and alcohol, and invited friends over! We told them gifts were not necessary. Just wanted their company. We love any reason to host a get together at our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-384066 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:30:06 +0000 shopaholic 384066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: lol... it was all DHs idea for kid entertainment.

After my husband and I got married and settled in our house, we invited our friends over for dinner and games. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-384052 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:27:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 384052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never have before, but we just bought a new house and will host one after we move next month. It will sort of also double as a holiday party (will be held in December sometime), and as we will now live in a little private cul-de-sac community we figure we should probably get to know our neighbors since they will be all up in our biz unlike our current neighborhood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-384001 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:19:09 +0000 mrbee 384001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Wow, can I be your friend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-383997 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:18:11 +0000 shopaholic 383997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we did. Two actually at our house! It wasn't until about 1/2 year after we bought the place b/c it took awhile to set up. But it's nice just to get together and invite everyone over to the new place. We even rented a bouncy house for the kiddos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-383921 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:04:37 +0000 Adira 383921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: haha, okay, I didn't really think so.

We provided beer and BBQ and had a party after all the work was done. Does that count? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-housewarming-party-when-you-move-into-a-new-place#post-383878 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:54:55 +0000 mrbee 383878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've ever done this... it sounds like something grownups do. Guess I'm not grown up yet then!</p> <p>Do you have a housewarming party when you move into a new place? </p>
