The ingredients of a successful housewarming
If you moved into your new home a short time ago, get ready for the famous housewarming. If this medieval tradition is maintained and is now anchored in our societies, it is that it remains a privileged moment in the life of a young couple who settles or friends who move in colocation for example. However, although it remains a very convivial moment, the housewarming party must be well prepared so as not to put you in a delicate situation with your neighborhood and to go through in the best conditions.
Prepare the evening sufficiently upstream
When you hang your housewarming you will probably welcome a large number of guests. If your evening will certainly be very warm, it is still necessary to prepare well so that all your guests can enjoy the best way. Thus, we advise you to take the time to count the number of guests present and to buy food and beverages accordingly. By preparing some salads or a few dishes in advance, you will be totally free of this logistics and you will also enjoy the evening. In the same way, a housewarming is often an opportunity to celebrate an event that has been waiting for some time (work, notice periods, research deadlines ...). This situation may deserve to be celebrated by drinking with bottles that you have previously purchased, in anticipation of achieving the goal. In addition, keep your hand on the drinks part, you will avoid slippage due to strong alcohol if you do not want it.
Moreover, it will be absolutely necessary to warn your close neighbors. If you live in a building, you will have two options. Either you take advantage of your recent arrival to go introduce yourself and talk about the evening to each of your neighbors. Either you decide to display a word sufficiently visible in the lobby of the building. In order to avoid complaints, we advise you to post this word early enough to give your neighbors time to organize if they do not wish to stay in their home that evening. If you live in a house, we advise you to take the time to warn your neighbors so that they will not be surprised to hear chatting smokers or numerous car departures at night.
Invite people close to you
A successful housewarming must be selective. Indeed, the festive aspect that reigns in this kind of event can promote slippages if you do not sufficiently control the people present and that too many friends of your friends are present. If you invite only people close to you who come to share your happiness and not to put the apartment upside down, you guarantee a successful evening of laughter and kindness.
Finally, if you live in an apartment, it is best that your housewarming does not last all night. If your neighborhood can not sleep because of the noise, it is likely that you will eventually be subjected to remarks and judgments. To prevent this, we advise you to plan a late night out of town for example. With the end of the evening in mind, you will not be tempted to make the evening last the apartment and increase the volume of your conversation over the hours. For example, you can decide to book taxis at a specific time to keep all guests moving at the same time and in a safe manner.
As you can see, a housewarming party can not be improvised at the risk of being overwhelmed during the evening, starting on the wrong foot with your neighborhood or finding your new home in a bad state. However, if you take all the necessary precautions, you have every chance to spend a wonderful evening and inaugurate your new life as it should.
