housewarming parties
New home gatherings
Housewarming parties are gatherings held to celebrate someone's move into a new home.
Guests typically bring gifts for the household—wine, plants, kitchen items—while the hosts show off their new space.
The tradition marks the transition of a house into a home: We're throwing a housewarming party once we finish unpacking.
