Party Invitations For Moving Into A New Abode

Party Invitations For Moving Into A New Abode There are some events or occasions in everybody’s life that calls for celebration with pomp and gaiety. Moving into a new house is one such occasion and is a cause célèbre for everybody who is thinking of moving into a new address. But it is not always hunky-dory as most of us who shift have to say goodbye to our old acquaintances comprising old buddies, neighbors, family members and office colleagues. We have to move for a variety of reasons. It could be because we have taken up a new job in a new region; it could be because we want to stay close to our parents or it could just be that we have bought a new house after staying in a rented accommodation for years. So, no matter whatever the reason, a housewarming party is reason enough to uncork that bottle of champagne that you had stowed away for this grand occasion.

When we are preparing the guest list for sending out party invitations we should be very particular about certain aspects. On a priority basis, we should start planning at least 3 months in advance about such a housewarming party. The invitation address in the card should have an informal tone as most housewarming parties tend to be an informal affair as the house is not fully geared to welcome the new entrants. The guests who are invited usually happen to be community members and neighbors with a smattering of your old friends and family members.

Your new neighbors will help you out with decorating and adorning your house with the gifts that you get from your guests. They will also help you with placing your furniture and appliances in the proper places.

We know that invitations for housewarming parties are send out for a variety of reasons. Some do it to flaunt the new look of their homes after they have renovated or replenished it. Most of us do it when we are moving into a new house. Many people send out invitations for such a party for a get together with old friends or alma maters with a buffet lunch or dinner. In many countries or communities, the hosting of the housewarming party is done by the members of the community on behalf of the new residents. Such a practice is really contagious as it helps to spread a spirit of conviviality and amiability. There’s no need to make it a grand affair. Your guests will understand that your house is not yet fully ready to take in the new members. They will also appreciate the fact that you have taken the trouble of making the best arrangements possible amidst such a chaotic milieu.

Give clear cut directions in the invitation card so that your guests can get to your place right away. Remember that many invitees will be coming for the first time. As the party will be an informal affair, the address should be informal accordingly. Get a family member or an old pal of yours to act as the host or hostess especially if you intend to take your guests on a recce of your house.
