I don't think I've ever done this... it sounds like something grownups do. Guess I'm not grown up yet then!
Do you have a housewarming party when you move into a new place?

Define housewarming party.
When we moved into our house, all our friends came over and helped us pack the U-Haul Truck and then unpack it at the new place. We provided beer and BBQ and had a party after all the work was done. Does that count?
-
Just once! DH and I threw a couple of diff housewarming parties (diff groups of friends) when we moved into our house a few years back!
-
@Adira: Haha, nope!
-
We didn't have one... We really should, but eh.
-
I've never had one.
-
I don't do this!
-
Only when we bought our house. We never had one before when we moved between rentals.
-
@mrbee: haha, okay, I didn't really think so. So no, we've never had one!
-
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!
-
@shopaholic: Wow, can I be your friend?
-
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!
-
We did! After my husband and I got married and settled in our house, we invited our friends over for dinner and games.
-
Nah, we just kinda invite people over to see our new place. Nothing fancy or really planned.
-
I've thought about this, but I feel guilty because I don't want to throw a party where people feel obligated to bring me a gift :S
We do have a Superbowl party every year though
-
@mrbee: lol... it was all DHs idea for kid entertainment. It was a hit though!
-
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!
-
Yes, I love a good housewarming party! We had one about 2 months after we moved into our condo, back in winter of 2009.
-
Were moving into a new apartment this month and I'm planning in throwing one after the holidays!
-
yep! i've done it at almost every place i've lived at!
-
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.
-
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!
-
We didn't. 1. 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.
-
Nope, but I think we will when we finally buy a house.
