welcome party
New arrival gathering
A welcome party is a social gathering held to greet and honor someone who has recently arrived—a new employee, a neighbor moving in, or a visitor from abroad: The department threw a welcome party for the new hires.
The event introduces the newcomer to others and helps them feel at home.
Distinct from a going-away party, which marks departure rather than arrival.
