What is Housewarming Party?

A housewarming party is a celebration held after moving into a new home, welcoming friends and family to see the new space. Traditionally, guests bring gifts to help "warm" the new house - common gifts include wine, houseplants, candles, kitchen items, or decorative objects. Housewarming parties are typically casual, with tours of the home, light refreshments, and socializing. They can be held once the new residents are settled in, usually within the first few months of moving. The party celebrates a new chapter and introduces the home to the owners' social circle.
