Did you have a house warming party when you moved into your new home? How did you do this and when did you do it? Right when you got the home or after you got settled?

While it is acceptable to have some sort of little move in party with friends who are helping you move, if they are...when you've "quit" for the day; it is very proper to invite family and friends over after you are settled in and prepared to host a party. A housewarming party can be as simple as drinks and Hors d'oeuvres, a buffet, a sit-down dinner or even a BBQ. If you simply wish to share an evening with these folks and pretty much have all that you need to "keep house" it is considered appropriate that you also inform them in your announcement that NO GIFTS are expected or needed...only the pleasure of their company. Of course a polite guest would still plan to bring something such as a good bottle of wine, or perhaps a potted plant,cooking herbs..potted, or flowers you could plant in your garden. Even a nice candle, or some pleasantly scented soaps would be a thoughtful "little" gift.

Yes, sort of. I had a party to thank my friends who helped me move, but it turned into a housewarming party, I waited two weeks after, I moved in, to do it. Give your self a little time to settle in and get things unpacked, you wont be a frustrated.

Wait till you're settled in and the house is straightened out. You'll have time to prepare and you'll be more relaxed. You'll enjoy it more.
