How Far in Advance to Send Housewarming Invitations

Video transcript

A housewarming invitation asks guests to visit your new home on a set date. For most parties, the answer is two to three weeks before the date.

For most housewarmings, that window gives guests enough time to check their calendars. It is early enough to plan, yet close enough that the date stays fresh.

Guests who travel need time to book a flight, a train, or a hotel. Holiday seasons fill quickly, so send earlier when your party falls near a holiday.

Guests read invitations quickly, so key details belong near the top. Include the date, start time, full address, and a reply date so you can plan food and seating.

If guests have not replied, one short message works better than several. Repeat the date and the reply deadline in the message.

Onlivita offers animated digital housewarming invitations you can share with a single link. Guests reply right from the invitation, and the host sees every reply in one place.
