Be creative! You can even host a scavenger hunt through the use of this challenge!

This way they can also bring home precious pictures they can cherish for a long time.

2. Tinker with your inner artist by painting together!

Have you seen those Facebook or Instagram reels where couples would make two collaborative paintings with each other, passing the two paintings to each other after painting on them individually after a certain amount of time? You can totally do this during your housewarming party! Isn’t this one of the most creative ideas? Make everyone form a circle, get a blank canvas, and every 10 seconds or so, they should pass the painting or drawing to the next person for them to continue the work of art!

This piece of whack and fun art could serve as your first painting or drawing hanging on the walls of your home! How cute is that!

3. Do not be afraid to go traditional

We do not know about you but building a bonfire in the garden of your home and bonding over good drinks and smores sounds like a grand cozy housewarming party idea, don’t you think? This way you would be able to incorporate what medieval people would do: literally making the house warm!

4. Never forget about prizes

People would always, always appreciate prizes no matter how seemingly insignificant they may seem. 20 peso bills, a scented candle, or even some sweets from AllDay would be enough for people to get up from their seats to join in the games you will have in store for them. Aside from pictures, this could serve as a nice souvenir from your party!

5. Make a playpen!

Do not forget about the kids! If you have children, most likely your friends already have to so be ready for some rowdiness in the halls of your new home. For them to also enjoy the night, dedicate a special space for them to mingle and play with each other! Fill the space up with numerous balls, balloons, Legos, and stuffed toys! By them being busy with one another and in one place, parents would be able to find their child easily and have leeway to mingle with other adults too!
