After months of planning a move and the big day itself, a housewarming party is a fun reward for a job well done. Use these tips to make your party the best it can be.

First off, hold your party in the evening to avoid the hottest time of day. Pick simple, refreshing food and drinks, like fruit platters and lemonade, to match the theme of the season and make less work for yourself. Finally, take advantage of your backyard, courtyard, garden or other outdoor space to host guests and keep the mess indoors to a minimum.
