How To Throw A Housewarming Party on a Budget


Moving into your own home is always exciting, and it’s only natural that you will want to celebrate your achievement with your nearest and dearest.

The moving process can be expensive, however, and you may lack the budget to throw a large, elaborate housewarming party.

The good news is that you do not need to flash lots of cash in order to enjoy a great housewarming party.

There are plenty of ways to keep costs low, stick to your budget, and still ensure your guests have an amazing time.

Keen to know more? Then read on for everything you need to know!

Limit The Guest List

A great party does not have to include every person you’ve ever met. Don’t be afraid to limit the guest list to help you manage costs and minimize expenses.

A smaller, more intimate gathering can sometimes be more enjoyable than a large, all-out party, so keep it simple.

Make a list of the first people who come to mind when you are planning your guest list - chances are these are the guests who really matter.

Don’t Do Decorations

When you’re showing off your new home, the property itself is all the backdrop you need. Don’t feel pressured to go crazy with elaborate themes or decorations.

There is a chance you may still be living out of boxes, so keep things cool and casual, rather than spending unnecessary cash.

If you want some kind of decoration, why not ask each guest to bring a picture of you both or a special memory? These can brighten up the place in a more personal and meaningful manner.

Keep Food Simple

Your housewarming party does not have to be an elaborate, multi-course dinner party. You can save this for when you are more settled in!

Keep food casual with appetizers or buffet pieces. It will help reduce costs and keep cooking time to a minimum. In a new home, you don’t have time to spend all day cooking.

Depending on your friendship group, you could keep things even more simple by ordering takeout or pizza. This also eliminates the washing up.

Use Social Media For Invites

There’s no need to worry about spending money on invites. Use social media to create an event, send messages, and get the word out about your party.

This also reduces the time that you have to spend answering questions about location, time, and date, as all the information is in one place.

Just make sure that you set your event to “Private” to reduce the risk of unwanted guests.

Final Thoughts

The most important thing to remember is that your housewarming party is a chance to get together with loved ones, and celebrate your new home - so don’t forget to have fun!
