Housewarming party ideas
You don't need to have finished unpacking to throw a housewarming. The simplest format is a drop-in open house: friends and neighbours come by over a few hours, get a tour and leave tips for the local area.
If you'd like something more social, a plant swap gives your new home a jungle, a pizza oven party makes the most of a garden, and a board game night is perfect for a smaller group.

A games café at home with a menu of board games for every group size, snacks and a tournament leaderboard.
Housewarming open house
A drop-in afternoon to show off the new home, with a self-guided tour, a grazing table and a 'favourite local spots' map.
Plant swap party
Guests bring cuttings and plants to swap, pot up new finds at a repotting bar and learn propagation tips.
Wood-fired pizza party
Fire up a garden pizza oven, set out a topping bar and let guests stretch and cook their own 90-second pizzas.
