Once you move into your new house, you’ll want to throw a housewarming party. Yet, because of the coronavirus pandemic, you may think that’s not possible at the moment. But, don’t despair. There is another way for you to have a party and ensure everyone is safe. And that is throwing an online housewarming party. This can be equally enjoyable as an ordinary one. So, here are some fun ideas for an online housewarming party and ways to organize it.
Safety first
By now, we all know that to prevent coronavirus infection we must follow some rules. One of those is washing hands, wearing masks, and maintaining a social distancing of at least six feet from other people. The last rule makes a housewarming party nearly impossible. Especially when gathering guests to eat, drink, and laugh together. So, another way to celebrate making a new life in a new house is by gathering an online housewarming party. Below are some fun ideas you can consider using.
The Zoom Call
Zoom calls give us a chance to stay close with people we can’t see in person. So, they are perfect for an online housewarming party. Create a room-to-room video tour of your home, show what your home looks like. But, before you’re completely unpacked before touring. So, consider learning how to unpack efficiently after moving. Next, email the video to friends and family and ask them to join you via Zoom for a viral housewarming.
Fun ideas for an online housewarming party – Getting into the housewarming spirit
A fun idea for an online housewarming party is shipping a favorite bottle of wine to each invitee. This way, everyone can share the same drink while you chat away.
And if your invite list is bigger, you can send a unique cocktail recipe. It will be fun if you name it after your new street address. Test your mixologist skills and create a craft cocktail recipe. But, ensure you send out the recipe a few days in advance so that everyone can gather the ingredients. Then you can have a fun discussion about your cocktail creation before you give a virtual tour.
An online PJ housewarming party
Since the last year left us all exhausted, it would be fun to let everyone stay cozy. So, ask your guests to hop on the call in their pajamas. You can crown the winner of the craziest PJs at the end of the party. A PJ party is also one of the fun things to do after you settle in, so try it.
Zoom dinner party
Another fun idea is turning your housewarming into a lavish soirée with a Zoom dinner party. You can cook a favorite meal, put on your best outfit, and light a candle to celebrate remotely with family and friends. Also, consider shipping a bottle of champagne to your guests’ doorsteps. Then, you can toast to your new home together.
