3. Make it Child-Friendly
If your guests are bringing children, be prepared. Although it’ll take a little extra planning, it’s important to host a housewarming party that is child-friendly. This will ensure a better turnout, and will give off a welcoming and positive impression to your new neighbors. After all, if you forbid their kids’ presence before meeting them, you may be putting a stop to new relationships before they start. Here are some ways to accommodate children:
- Set up engaging games and activities for the kids to enjoy while adults can focus on the party
- Serve child-friendly drinks and food
- Don’t unpack the valuables just yet, or keep them safely tucked away
- Consider setting up either a child-only area or an adults-only area, to ensure that all party members feel comfortable and have their own space
