Housewarming Invitations for Your New Place
New address, one link. Send the date, directions, and however long you're keeping the door open, and let guests RSVP so you know roughly how many people are dropping by.

1
Pick a design
Something warm and welcoming, or a photo of the new place itself if you have one you like, every color, font, and layout can still be changed later.
2
Add the details that matter
The new address, the date, and a time window rather than a single start time, most housewarmings work as a drop-in, not a seated event with everyone arriving at once.
3
Build the guest list
Close friends, family, new neighbors, and anyone who helped with the move or the buying process are the usual list, add each with their own link.
4
Send it and watch responses land
Text, email, or share the link directly. Every RSVP shows up on one dashboard instead of scattered across replies.
What to Write on a Housewarming Invitation
The address matters more here than on most invitations, make sure it's exact, along with parking notes if relevant. A time window ('drop by between 1 and 5') works better than a single start time for a casual open-house format.
Open house format
Come see the new place! Housewarming open house, Saturday, September 20th, 1:00 to 5:00 PM, 214 Maple Street. Drop by anytime, stay as long as you like.
Sit-down gathering
Join us for dinner and a tour of our new home! Saturday, September 20th at 6:00 PM, 214 Maple Street. Kindly RSVP by September 13th.
Casual, close friends
We're finally unpacked (mostly)! Come see the new place, Saturday, September 20th from 2 PM. Bring nothing but yourselves, we've got drinks covered.
How far in advance to send it
Three to four weeks ahead is typical, enough notice without being so far out that people forget once moving-day chaos has settled. Waiting until most of the unpacking is done before settling on a date usually makes for a more relaxed party anyway.
Since this is a digital invitation, there's no printing lead time to account for, the link can go out the moment the date is locked in, and the address or time window can still be updated afterward if anything changes.
Common questions
Both work. An open house with a time window ("drop by between 1 and 5") is more common and lower-pressure for a casual gathering; a set time suits a sit-down dinner or a more formal housewarming.
Yes. Add them anywhere in your invitation's text, especially useful if the new place is somewhere guests haven't been before.
Yes. Turn on plus-one fields in the RSVP section and they'll show up on the form automatically.
