Once you have officially moved to Tulsa and are settled in your new house, you are probably excited to get all of your friends and family over to see it. If you hired All My Sons Moving & Storage while moving to Tulsa, your home is probably all set and ready for entertaining; but, if you didn't, our professional movers have some tips on throwing the ultimate house warming party.
Now that you are in your new place, it's time to start making memories! One of the oldest traditions when moving it throwing a house warming party, which serves as the very first celebration and memory in your new home and new town. So, here's our guideline for throwing a house warming party after moving to Tulsa.
- Get The Word Out - Know who you are inviting. If you are moving far from your last place, it's good to know who is coming or can come. Create a Facebook event (or other social media outlet) with the new address, start, and end times. This will create less confusion and let the guests know that you have considered them and their questions. Or, you can always do the old fashioned paper mail invitations for a more private, formal request to your house warming party.
- Prepare For Guests - If you used full-service Tulsa movers, you may not have to get your home in order because they take care of that while unpacking for you. But, you may want to tidy certain things up and make it presentable. Make sure the bathroom is all setup and everything is where it needs to be; your guests will appreciate it! Double check that all your necessary cooking utensils and silverware are ready to be used.
- Create a Theme - Themes are a great way to get your guests interested in the party. Themes are also a fantastic way to let the guests know the mood of the party ahead of time. Have your friends, family, and new neighbors dress up and decorate your new place with a theme, turn on some music, have some finger foods and beverages, and make the whole thing a good time.
- Barbeque - If the weather allows for it, consider having a barbeque at your new place. Barbecues are simple, easy to plan and decorate for, and require less of a commitment from your guests, as they can come and go as they please. Since your brand new Tulsa home is clean, this will let everyone take a quick tour of your home, perhaps one-by-one as people show up, then take it outside for the fun and entertainment.
- Entertainment - Have some music prepared to play during the party. Create a really good play list that will keep the mood fun and energetic. Games are also a big plus and allow everyone to enjoy the party and create some more great memories. This is where you remember those great Tulsa residential movers for getting all these fun items to your new house safely.
- Give out Party Favors - One great way to thank your guests is to have party favors ready at the door to pick up when they leave. Have them tied to your theme or figure out one small item that is personalized to them.
