Housewarming FAQs: Answering Your Common Questions
Hosting or attending a housewarming can bring up a few questions. Here are answers to some common ones:
Q1. What’s the difference between an “Open House” and a “Housewarming Party”?
An Open House is typically more casual, often spanning several hours (e.g., 2 PM – 6 PM). Guests can drop in whenever they like during that window, stay for a while, mingle, see the house, and then leave. It’s flexible.
A Housewarming Party usually has a more defined start time (e.g., starts at 7 PM) and might feel more like a traditional party structure. Guests tend to arrive closer to the start time and stay longer.
The lines can blur! You can have a casual party or a more structured open house. Choose the format that suits you best.
Q2. When should I send out invitations?
Aim to send invitations 2 to 4 weeks before the event. This gives guests enough notice to check their calendars and RSVP (if you require one). Digital invitations are perfectly acceptable and common.
