Housewarming Party Invitation Wording: Examples to Copy

Read the full article

Video transcript

A housewarming invitation tells friends you have a new home and want them to visit. Clear wording gives the date, start time, and address right at the top.

Put the date, start time, and address in the first two lines. Guests can then say yes without asking a follow-up question.

Relaxed wording works well for close friends, neighbors, and family. Mention the food or drinks you have planned.

Setting a reply deadline about a week ahead helps you plan food and seating. Ask guests for a yes or no and the number of people coming.

A single link puts the time, place, and map in one spot, so guests do not have to search through several messages. Send a personal note to close friends first, then the link to everyone else.

Read the draft once as a guest would, and check for a missing address or arrival time. Ask one person outside your planning circle to read it.

End with a friendly closing line, such as 'Hope to see you there,' to keep the message warm.
