Compared to packing and hauling boxes into your new home, planning a housewarming party should be fun, fresh, and easy. The first step is creating a guest list. Do you want to keep it small and cozy with just a few friends and family or have an open party and invite all your new neighbors? Next, decide on a date and time. Once you’ve figured those out, this is when Greenvelope comes in and makes it easy to import your entire guest list, send reminders, and allow your guests to save the event to their calendar and get directions with our Google Maps integration.

The next step is a personal favorite: creating the menu.  If you are going for sophistication, try serving antipasto meat and cheese on a wooden cutting board, veggie topped crostini, and champagne.  Or stick to the classics we all love: chips and salsa (and guacamole!), deviled eggs, spinach dip, cookies, and a large punch bowl. Whatever your style is, it’s important to make food that is easy to serve, easy to eat, and easy to clean up.
